Pull request overview

Adds a CLI override to select the git tag/branch used for downloading model parameters when running maintain_simulation_model_add_production, allowing maintenance workflows to bypass the info.yml default.

Changes:

• Extend model_repository.generate_new_production() to accept an optional setting_workflows_git_tag override (fallback remains info.yml / "main").
• Add --setting_workflows_git_tag flag to maintain_simulation_model_add_production and pass it through to the repository logic.
• Add a unit test covering the override behavior and a changelog entry.
