push command overwrites local changes (implicit pull before push)

[tomatitito]

Description

When running elementor-cli push <page_id>, the command appears to pull the current state from WordPress before pushing, which overwrites any local changes made to the page JSON file.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Pull a page: elementor-cli pull 2902
2. Modify the local JSON file (e.g., .elementor-cli/pages/staging/2902/page.json)
3. Run elementor-cli push 2902
4. Check the local file - changes are reverted to match WordPress
5. Check WordPress - data is unchanged

Expected Behavior

elementor-cli push should push the local JSON to WordPress without first pulling/syncing from WordPress.

Actual Behavior

The push command reports success, but:

• Local file is reverted to match WordPress state
• WordPress data remains unchanged

Workaround

Update WordPress directly via WP-CLI:

cat .elementor-cli/pages/staging/2902/page.json | jq -c '.elementor_data' | \
  podman exec -i juki-wp bash -c 'cat > /tmp/data.json && wp post meta update 2902 _elementor_data "$(cat /tmp/data.json)" --allow-root'

podman exec juki-wp wp elementor flush-css --allow-root

Suggested Fix

Either:

1. Remove the implicit pull before push
2. Add a --force or --no-pull flag to skip the pull step
3. Add a --dry-run flag to preview what would be pushed
