The api queued .restore-requested but nothing consumed it, so restores silently did nothing. The watcher now services the restore sentinel by running restore.sh, and its instance_data mount is read-write so restore can lay files back down (the manual one-shot stays read-only). Backup stamps use a colon-free UTC form that Date could not parse, so the UI showed raw strings; normalize them before formatting.
