Research direction

Start in NotesServerSyncTask.java at pushLocalChanges(), especially lines 151 and 164, then trace how run() invokes it. Reproduce the local note change and sync failure described in the issue, and compare the failing upload path with the working Cloud-to-device sync; done means local changes sync without the RuntimeException.
