Description
please add an option to set device itself as "untrusted" and when ever it is connected it should say "I'm a untrusted device, please check the untrusted by default". this would prevent accidentally adding directory in clear.
- what problem your new feature would solve
I had a setup with several desktops and mobile phone as an untrusted device. A few months later I added a new desktop but forgot to check "[x] untrusted" and happily added a new directory in clear.
- how or why you think it is generally useful (i.e., not just for you)
additional safety check to prevent accidentally adding a folder in clear
- what alternatives or workarounds you considered

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing device-level “untrusted” setting and the flow that accepts a directory in clear; done means the device preference is recognized on connection, clearly warns about its status, and prevents an accidental clear-text addition.
