Four Fandom sources have been skipping on a challenged robots.txt every cycle,
and the only thing that clears it is a person passing the recorded permission.
Until now there was no way to do that from the workflow, so it meant checking
out the repo and running the refresh by hand. Both overrides are dispatch
inputs now, guarded on the literal string "true" and empty on the cron, so the
schedule still cannot reach either one.
The force-push guard needed narrowing to allow this. It asserted the workflow
contains no "--force" anywhere, as a proxy for never rewriting the branch, and
the refresh runner's own --force flag trips that substring while having nothing
to do with pushing. It now matches force on a git push specifically, including
--force-with-lease, which is still one — a tighter assertion than the string it
replaces, checked against both a real force push and the flag it must ignore.
