gplay metadata pull
Rapatriate the Store front Listings currently live on Google Play for
--package into the local Metadata tree under --dir (default ./metadata):
one <locale>/<field>.txt file per managed field a locale holds
non-empty online (title, short_description, full_description, video).
Reads the Listings inside a read-only Edit (open → listings.list →
discard); nothing is committed. The write is additive — a field Play holds
empty writes no file, and a local locale absent online is left intact.
Removing locales/fields no longer online is the opt-in job of gplay metadata apply --prune.
Because pull writes only non-empty online values and the tree codec is a
value-level inverse, a metadata apply immediately after a pull
is a guaranteed no-op (ADR-0011).
