clad2 935a813d75 fix(labels): wake the sweep over REST, so board events reconcile in seconds
`.github/workflows/labels.yml` dispatched the sweep with `gh workflow run`,
the eighth runtime gh call site the 0.6.0 merge reintroduced and the only one
!204 did not port. On this forge the runner carries neither gh nor a GitHub
API, so the step refused and the entire event-driven reconcile path ended
there — every transition waiting up to an hour for the scheduled sweep.

The workflow-dispatch endpoint has the SAME shape on both forges:

  POST {api}/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{file}/dispatches
  {"ref": "<branch>", "inputs": {...}}  -> 204, empty body

so the step no longer decides a forge at all. The CEREMONY_FORGE_CLIENT=gh
declaration and both inline refusals are removed rather than ported, and
test/no-runtime-gh.test.sh now asserts their ABSENCE — an opt-out with no gh
behind it is a standing permission slip.

The ref is supplied explicitly and taken from the repository, never from
GITHUB_REF_NAME: on a pull_request_target run that is `<n>/merge`, which is
not a branch. A non-204 still fails the job, keeping the misconfiguration
alarm the trigger exists to be, and the diagnostic explains Forgejo's empty
500 rather than passing a bare status to a reader who will go looking for an
outage that is not there.

test/labels-dispatch.test.sh extracts the shipped step and executes it against
a recording stub, asserting the method, endpoint, ref and inputs actually
sent. Dropping the inputs or ignoring a non-204 both red the suite.

### Fixed
- `.github/workflows/labels.yml` wakes the sweep over REST instead of
`gh workflow run`, so a board event reconciles within seconds on any forge
rather than waiting up to an hour for the scheduled sweep (#205).
- The workflow-dispatch endpoint has the same shape on both forges, so that
step no longer decides one: the `CEREMONY_FORGE_CLIENT=gh` declaration and
both inline refusals are gone rather than ported (#205).
- The dispatch supplies its `ref` explicitly, because REST has no default
branch where `gh workflow run` had one, and refuses without it (#205).
- It takes that ref from the repository, never from `GITHUB_REF_NAME` — on a
`pull_request_target` run that is `<n>/merge`, which is not a branch (#205).
- A failed dispatch names the endpoint, the ref and the status, and says that
an empty `500` body from Forgejo means the workflow name or the ref did not
resolve — a bare status sends the reader after a server fault that is not
there (#205).
### Added
- `test/labels-dispatch.test.sh` extracts the shipped step and executes it
against a recording stub, asserting the method, endpoint, ref and
`inputs.bootstrap` actually sent (#205).
- That test also drives the failure path: any non-204 still fails the job, so
the misconfiguration alarm the trigger exists to be cannot decay into a
warning (#205).
