fixing SyncWorker becoming stuck in failure state on uncaught exception

- the sync worker makes use of the CoroutineWorker which does not stop when the work completes, this means we often append to the existing worker. When appending by default the previous worker result payload is merged with (or in our case overwrites) the input data instead, meaning any failure state is set and kept until the worker stops, which in turns causes the sync worker to never sync
- the fix is to make use of an input merge that always favour the request input data instead of the previous worker results
