Let CI be started by hand
CI triggers on a push to main and on pull requests, and on nothing else. That left no way to put a check on 7a1e5ee -- the commit production is running -- after GitHub's Actions outage on 2026-08-26 orphaned every run created during it. Those runs are not merely slow. GitHub accepted them, allocated zero jobs, and left them in a state its own API contradicts itself about: gh run rerun -> "cannot be rerun; This workflow is already running" gh run cancel -> "Cannot cancel a workflow run that is completed" gh api -> status=queued, conclusion=null, jobs=0 Neither recoverable nor clearable, and with no manual trigger the only remaining option would have been an empty commit pushed to main to move the ref -- which is both a junk commit and against how changes land here. workflow_dispatch also covers the ordinary case of wanting a check on a commit that predates a CI change.

# Actions outage on 2026-08-26 -- can be neither rerun ("already running")
