Description

Hello,

In order for noone to miss that a FG needs synching, why not use the .update-plugins cue?

As in the orange ball in the menu bar, next to plugins when they need updating.

If acf-json doesn't exist, I think it wouldn't show.

Research direction

Start by tracing the .update-plugins cue used for the orange update indicator in the menu bar, then inspect how ACF detects missing synchronization for field groups and the acf-json directory. Done means the existing update cue appears when field groups need synchronization and remains absent when acf-json does not exist.
