Improve real-time sync with 1-second polling and visual indicator

- Reduced polling interval from 2s to 1s for near-instant updates
- Added SyncIndicator component to show sync status
- Added console logging to debug sync behavior
- Updates across devices now appear within 1 second
- Visual feedback shows when data is being refreshed
