What is the difference between these two options? syncPolicy.automated.prune vs syncPolicy.syncOptions.Prune
What is the priority?

syncPolicy.automated.prune vs syncPolicy.syncOptions.Prune

in Application:

  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
    syncOptions:
    - Prune=false
    - ApplyOutOfSyncOnly=true
    - RespectIgnoreDifferences=true
```</div>

For safety, automated sync doesn't prune even when you've set it to true in syncOptions (ie, syncOptions.Prune only applies to manual sync). The automated.prune setting allows you to override this and say you're aware of the downsides but want to do it anyway.

Exactly! And just small note from my side , syncOptions - Prune=false not exists, you can find list of possible options here https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user-guide/sync-options/
Here only PruneLast and PrunePropagationPolicy
