Description

### Brief bug description

When syncing a space that links a new web spotlight root, the operation fails since there is no matching item in the target environment.

### Repro steps

1. Create a new space that links a new root.
2. Sync spaces
3. See an error like the following `"The referenced root item '{codename: root}' was not found. Provide a reference to an existing root item."`

### Expected behavior

Preferably I'd like to see the root item synced. However, I understand that this may not be in line with the expectations of the `sync` command.

### Test environment

- `data-ops@2.2.2`

### Additional context

If we were to create an item if there's a new root, it would need to happen after content type updates, but before spaces. This is an issue since these operations are in the opposite order in the current implementation.

Research direction

Start with the spaces sync command and trace the ordering of content type updates, root item handling, and spaces. Reproduce the failure with a space linking a new root, then determine the supported completion behavior: syncing the root without the missing-reference error or clearly documenting that the sync command does not create it.
