Joe b47eef1173 Add live syncback functionality and optimize service encoding
- Introduced a new endpoint `/api/syncback` for one-click full sync from Roblox Studio to the filesystem, eliminating the need for an active WebSocket connection.
- Implemented `SyncbackRequest` and `ServiceChunk` structures to handle service-level properties and child instances during syncback.
- Enhanced `encodeService` to include ObjectValue carriers for accurate reference handling and prevent data loss.
- Updated the syncback process to utilize Luau-style relative paths for reference attributes, improving path management and consistency.
- Integrated session caching in the matching algorithm to optimize performance during syncback operations.

These changes significantly improve the live syncback experience, ensuring reliable data synchronization and enhanced performance during development.
