Description

The backend now accepts gzipped PATCH bodies on /sync/devices. When we first integrated with this endpoint gzip wasn't supported, so SyncGzipInterceptor explicitly skipped compression for it. This removes that exclusion so devices PATCH requests are compressed like every other sync PATCH.

Steps to test this PR

• QA optional

---

Note

Medium Risk
Changes how device PATCH payloads are sent to the sync API; compression failures still fall back to the uncompressed request via existing error handling.

Overview
SyncGzipInterceptor no longer skips gzip for PATCH requests to /sync/devices. Those calls now follow the same rule as other sync PATCH traffic when gzipPatchRequests is enabled.

The workaround for backend invalid_json on gzipped device PATCH bodies is removed, along with the isDevicesEndpoint check and related comment.
