✍️ Description

a new script has no generated header until the workflow has run, and every header_info variant then cleared the screen and drew nothing. The placeholder is embedded, so it costs no fetch and cannot 404 itself.

Try this branch

The engine and the scripts resolve independently, so a production script can
be run against the engine from this PR by setting one variable:

COMMUNITY_SCRIPTS_CORE_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/core/feat/header-fallback \
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/debian.sh)"

Swap ct/debian.sh for whatever exercises the change.

This PR touches both backends. Worth running on a Proxmox VE and an Incus host.

Run a script from a fork as well
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/core/feat/header-fallback/tools/run.sh |
  bash -s -- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YOU/DevScripts/your-branch ct/debian.sh \
             https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/core/feat/header-fallback

Note that run.sh is reached through a pipe, so the script it starts inherits
an exhausted stdin. Whiptail is fine — it opens /dev/tty — but a plain read
would see EOF. The single-variable form above does not have that problem.

Useful flags while testing

dev_mode=net logs every engine fetch with status and duration, which is the
quickest way to confirm the branch is really being used. dev_mode=keep stops a
failed build from deleting the container along with the evidence.
