Description

If a node tries to join a cluster, the node will fail to join and a notification will indicate that the flow on the node is different than the cluster's flow, just because the templates are different.

Rather, we should rename the old template to "<original name>.standalone" or something of that nature and then write the template to a new file if it conflicts. If the template is simply missing, it should just be downloaded.

We should make sure that NCM lists only those templates that are available to it.
