Always-visible resync / retrigger button for stacks

When a webhook delivery is missed (GitHub flakiness, misconfiguration, etc.), Spacelift doesn't know it's behind the branch head — so the Sync button never appears. This leaves developers with no self-service way to retrigger a run from the UI. (eg. Devs that don’t have github app access)

Workaround
Current workarounds all require elevated access: - `spacectl stack set-current-commit` (requires API key + CLI setup) - GitHub webhook "Redeliver" button (requires GitHub admin/integration access) - Toggling the tracked branch in stack settings (requires stack admin)
Problem
For teams where developers don't have access to the GitHub integration app or spacectl, a missed webhook means they're stuck waiting for someone with admin access to intervene. Request: An always-visible "Resync" or "Retrigger" button on the stack page that checks the VCS for the latest commit and triggers a run if the stack is behind — regardless of whether a webhook was received. Should be available to users with write access to the stack.
