Derived templates store IsInherited placeholder rows mirroring inherited
members, but a base member added/changed/removed AFTER a child was derived
never reached the child — leaving the editor's editable tabs incomplete (#1)
and stored rows drifted from the resolved set (#2).
Fix (one order-independent reconcile, two entry points):
- Auto-propagation: every attribute/alarm/script add/update/delete now
reconciles the template's derived subtree (TemplateService.ReconcileDescendantsAsync),
hooked into all member-mutating paths incl. native-alarm-source CRUD in the
ManagementActor.
- Resync: ResyncInheritedMembersAsync repairs a template + its subtree on
demand — materialize missing placeholders, re-sync drifted ones, remove
orphans, across attributes/alarms/scripts/native sources. Exposed as
management ResyncInheritedMembersCommand (Designer-gated, audited) → CLI
`template resync-members` → a Resync button on the editor's staleness banner.
Reconcile drives off TemplateInheritanceResolver (same precedence + HiLo merge
as deploy), only ever touches IsInherited placeholders (never an authored
override), and matches the staleness comparison keys so the banner clears.
BuildDerivedTemplate now also materializes native-source placeholders at
compose time (previously omitted → any inherited native source was perpetually
stale).
Tests: +8 TemplateServiceTests (materialize / drift-update / orphan-remove /
override-untouched / base-cascade / multi-type / direct-propagate / end-to-end
add) + 1 ManagementService test fix (native-source add resolves TemplateService).

Expose TemplateScript.ExecutionTimeoutSeconds and MinTimeBetweenRuns (previously
settable only via Transport bundle import) on the CLI and Central UI authoring surfaces.
- Commons: add additive trailing optionals MinTimeBetweenRuns (TimeSpan?) and
ExecutionTimeoutSeconds (int?) to Add/UpdateTemplateScriptCommand.
- ManagementActor: thread both new fields into the built TemplateScript on add/update.
- CLI template script add/update: new --min-time-between-runs (duration: ms/s/min,
bare number = seconds, 0 = unset, mirroring DurationInput) and
--execution-timeout-seconds (int) flags, with client-side duration validation.
- Central UI TemplateEdit: add an Execution timeout input (seconds) on the script
trigger tab, mirroring the existing Min-time-between-runs control; null/0 = site default.
- Tests: TemplateScriptTimingTests pins the option surface + duration parsing; updated
the stale 'no UI control' comment on the TemplateService round-trip test.
The UI script editor has no ExecutionTimeoutSeconds control (authoring deferred),
so a body edit silently cleared a timeout set via Transport import. Round-trip the
loaded value so UI edits preserve it. Add the missing AlarmExecutionActor null/<=0
fallback tests for symmetry with ScriptExecutionActor.
