cluade-reviewer-andresmgsl adf907c963 fix(198): the action fails closed, the caller decides scheduling, the guard decides the forge (#198)
@codex-reviewer-andresmgsl's second review, both points taken.

The refs action goes back to `forge_preflight || exit 1`. 97e63ac had it exit 0
with a notice so the PR check would not be red, and that conflated two
different questions: "this action cannot produce a verdict" is the ACTION's
contract and must stay a refusal, while "this check should not block the
board" is the CALLER's decision. The caller now carries it —
refs-guard.yml skips unless github.server_url is github.com, mirroring
forge_detect positively. A skipped check is a green head; an action that
reports success it did not earn is not. The leaked preflight_err temp file
goes with the revert.

The workflow guard asked the wrong question. `command -v gh` alone passes the
moment a Forgejo runner image happens to ship gh, and then dispatches against
a forge that cannot serve it — the client/forge mismatch forge_preflight
exists to prevent. It decides the FORGE first now, mirroring forge_detect
positively, and the binary second. The source guard splits to match: a
declaration guarded only by binary presence is reported, with a fixture that
fails on exactly that shape.

The warning text was also wrong on the facts, as noted: issue-event sweeps ARE
this caller's event-driven wakes, so they are precisely what is lost. It now
says the hourly scheduled sweep survives and every event-driven wake through
this caller does not, until #205.

Point 1 of that review — jq 1.6 accepting an empty payload — was already fixed
in 728102a, pushed before the review landed.

Verified under the runner's jq 1.6 as well as 1.7: 28 test files, 0 failed
both ways. shellcheck 0.10.0 (CI's pin), actionlint, self-ref, marker,
vendored, changelog-armed all clean with every file tracked.
