    - A data transfer method that downloads database documents as a continuous stream of events. It is significantly faster than traditional chunk-by-chunk HTTP requests and is used during Fast Setup to retrieve remote metadata quickly.
 - Sync Mode
    - The replication trigger mechanism. Users can select from `On Events` (synchronising on local file changes), `Periodic and Events` (synchronising at fixed intervals as well as on events), or `LiveSync` (continuous, real-time synchronisation).

+    - Devices which participate in the same synchronisation for a Vault. The term describes membership rather than current activity, so it includes offline and idle devices.

    - A Traversal Using Relays around NAT server used as an optional fallback to relay encrypted WebRTC traffic when strict NAT or firewall rules block a direct peer connection. It is distinct from the signalling relay.
