Problem

Restic does not overwrite existing files at the restore destination by default. If ~/docker has stale configs from a partial previous run, the restore silently leaves the old files in place.

Fix

Add the flag to both restore commands:

restic restore latest:/source/gcloud --target ./ --overwrite always

Files: playbooks/redeploy.yml, playbooks/disaster.yml
