fix: cluster restore database detection and TUI error display

- Fixed psql connection for database detection (always use -h flag)
- Use CombinedOutput() to capture stderr for better diagnostics
- Added existingDBError tracking in restore preview
- Show 'Unable to detect' instead of misleading 'None' when listing fails
- Disable cleanup toggle when database detection failed

@@ -5,6 +5,41 @@ All notable changes to dbbackup will be documented in this file.

+## [3.42.50] - 2026-01-16 "Ctrl+C Signal Handling Fix"
+
+### Fixed - Proper Ctrl+C/SIGINT Handling in TUI
+- **Added tea.InterruptMsg handling** - Bubbletea v1.3+ sends `InterruptMsg` for SIGINT signals
+  instead of a `KeyMsg` with "ctrl+c", causing cancellation to not work
+- **Fixed cluster restore cancellation** - Ctrl+C now properly cancels running restore operations
+- **Fixed cluster backup cancellation** - Ctrl+C now properly cancels running backup operations
+- **Added interrupt handling to main menu** - Proper cleanup on SIGINT from menu
+- **Orphaned process cleanup** - `cleanup.KillOrphanedProcesses()` called on all interrupt paths
+
+### Changed
+- All TUI execution views now handle both `tea.KeyMsg` ("ctrl+c") and `tea.InterruptMsg`
+- Context cancellation properly propagates to child processes via `exec.CommandContext`
+- No zombie pg_dump/pg_restore/gzip processes left behind on cancellation
+
+## [3.42.49] - 2026-01-16 "Unified Cluster Backup Progress"
+
+### Added - Unified Progress Display for Cluster Backup
+- **Combined overall progress bar** for cluster backup showing all phases:
+  - Phase 1/3: Backing up Globals (0-15% of overall)
+  - Phase 2/3: Backing up Databases (15-90% of overall)
+  - Phase 3/3: Compressing Archive (90-100% of overall)
+- **Current database indicator** - Shows which database is currently being backed up
+- **Phase-aware progress tracking** - New fields in backup progress state:
+  - `overallPhase` - Current phase (1=globals, 2=databases, 3=compressing)
+  - `phaseDesc` - Human-readable phase description
+- **Dual progress bars** for cluster backup:
+  - Overall progress bar showing combined operation progress
+  - Database count progress bar showing individual database progress
+
+### Changed
+- Cluster backup TUI now shows unified progress display matching restore
+- Progress callbacks now include phase information
+- Better visual feedback during entire cluster backup operation
+
 ## [3.42.48] - 2026-01-15 "Unified Cluster Restore Progress"
