Everyone branches off main and builds from their own branch. A branch that is
behind main still builds and installs perfectly — it just packages a binary
missing whatever landed on main meanwhile, and `rpm -U --force` overwrites the
good one with it. Nothing reports an error; the release succeeds and the feature
simply vanishes from the installed CLI.
That is what happened today: a build from a stale checkout replaced
/usr/bin/mcpctl with one that has no `statusline` command at all, months after
the status line landed on main (`mcpctl statusline` -> "unknown command").
`check-main-sync.sh` fetches main, compares, and fails before any work happens,
listing the commits the branch is missing and the merge that fixes it. Sourced
by build-rpm.sh and build-deb.sh — both are run standalone, so neither can rely
on the other having checked.
A hard failure rather than a warning: a warning scrolls past in a build log, and
the whole point is to stop before the artifact exists.
MCPCTL_ALLOW_BEHIND_MAIN=1 is the escape hatch for a deliberate old-tree build;
MCPCTL_BASE_BRANCH retargets the comparison. Offline it degrades to the last
fetched origin/main, then a local main, saying which it used; outside a git
checkout it skips.
Verified: passes on this branch (up to date with main); against a synthetic ref
one commit ahead, build-rpm.sh aborts with exit 1 before ensure_build_deps and
before any compilation; the escape hatch bypasses it.

Two bugs fixed:
1. Backup completeness: JSON backup API now includes prompts and
templates. Previously these were silently dropped during
backup/restore, causing data loss on migration.
2. STDIO proxy for docker-image servers: servers with dockerImage
but no packageName/command (like docmost) now use k8s Attach
to connect to the container's PID 1 stdin/stdout instead of
exec. This fixes "has no packageName or command" errors.
Changes:
- backup-service.ts: add BackupPrompt/BackupTemplate types, export them
- restore-service.ts: restore prompts (with project FK) and templates
- mcp-proxy-service.ts: sendViaPersistentAttach for docker-image STDIO
- orchestrator.ts: add attachInteractive to McpOrchestrator interface
- kubernetes-orchestrator.ts: implement attachInteractive via k8s Attach
- k8s-client-official.ts: expose Attach client
