Session 0012: No-Backup Option for Promote & Sync

Date: 2026-02-26 Status: Completed Origin: MDF Webseiten session 0055

Work Done

• [x] Added "Skip safety backup" checkbox to promote modal and sync modal
  • Backend: no_backup query param on promote.py and sync_data.py
  • Frontend: amber-colored checkbox, hidden for lifecycle operations (restart/rebuild/recreate)
  • Deployed and verified (200 OK)

Key Decisions / Learnings

• Safety backup before promote/sync is the default — skip is opt-in, not opt-out
• Amber color signals caution without being as severe as red
• The checkbox is only shown for promote/sync, not for container lifecycle ops (different risk profile)
• Useful when iterating quickly on dev/int where the overhead of a safety backup is unnecessary
