Add a deployment announcement banner set through NETBIRD_ANNOUNCEMENT - #806
Conversation
An operator can now give a deployment a permanent banner: the text in NETBIRD_ANNOUNCEMENT is shown to every user in the prominent announcement style, cannot be closed, and appears in every edition. It sits ahead of the remote and MSP announcements, behind only the billing warnings when those open, so it is always the first thing a user sees. Empty or unset means no banner, which is the default. The first use is the netbirdio/platform development cluster, which runs several management instances each with a dashboard of its own and needs a way to tell at a glance which instance a browser tab is talking to.

When
isRestrictedis true, this effect returns before it creates the deployment announcement. Restricted users therefore never see the permanent banner.Initialize the deployment announcement before this remote-announcement guard, or handle the restricted branch by setting an announcement list that contains only the deployment banner. Keep remote announcements suppressed if that is the intended restriction.
The PR objective requires the banner for all users.
