🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Remove duplicate standby environment entries.

ensureEnvValue updates the first matching entry and returns. It leaves later entries with the same name unchanged.

If a later DYN_SNAPSHOT_RESTORE_STANDBY entry uses ValueFrom, the container can receive a value other than "1". A legacy workload can then skip standby mode during restore.

Proposed fix 
 func ensureEnvValue(container *corev1.Container, name, value string) {
-	for i := range container.Env {
-		if container.Env[i].Name == name {
-			container.Env[i].Value = value
-			container.Env[i].ValueFrom = nil
-			return
-		}
-	}
-	container.Env = append(container.Env, corev1.EnvVar{Name: name, Value: value})
+	env := container.Env[:0]
+	found := false
+	for _, item := range container.Env {
+		if item.Name != name {
+			env = append(env, item)
+			continue
+		}
+		if !found {
+			env = append(env, corev1.EnvVar{Name: name, Value: value})
+			found = true
+		}
+	}
+	if !found {
+		env = append(env, corev1.EnvVar{Name: name, Value: value})
+	}
+	container.Env = env

In `@operator/internal/protocol/restore.go` around lines 96 - 104, Update
ensureEnvValue to normalize all existing entries matching name, setting each to
value and clearing ValueFrom instead of returning after the first match; append
a new EnvVar only when no matching entry exists, ensuring duplicate
DYN_SNAPSHOT_RESTORE_STANDBY entries cannot override the required value.
