Updating the modlist does not update mods when using TYPE=NeoForge

[NukeninDark]

Describe the problem

When using a docker compose file with NeoForge as Type (probably others that do not use automodpacks), when you update the modlist with new mods or even changing the version, it still uses the old version and refuses to update the mods or list.

I already tried to remove all mods and some files inside to see if they download a newer version, but it downloads the old and refuses to update. I already spent a lot of time trying to find a command or something that could force a resync but still no avail. Already tried NEOFORGE_FORCE_REINSTALL but it only reinstall the laucher, not the mods or update the list.

Should probably have a command to force redownload all mods and update the list. I am unsure if it already does as my knowledge in DockerCompose is not advanced enough for this, but it seems to be supposed to happen.

In the logs its possible to see it trying to download the mods, but for some reason it uses the old version even having a new update.

Update:
After a few tweaks, I maybe discovered the issue. since I am using both Modrinth and CurseForge as source for download. When they detect a different version in one, they only update ONE of those files associate with CurseForge or Modrinth, and after crashing and just rebooting it will try the other.

last init showcase this:

For some reason it is removing Titanium as thinks its old file (which is not) and then proceeds to crash later. But running again it will see its missing Titanium, and will try to redownload.

Is something between these lines.

Can you clarify what you're changing each time and each time what you expected? Be very specific: variable name, old value, new value, what you expected to happen.

Please also provide content of cf-mods.txt

[NukeninDark]

The docker file is static. I just appended extra mods on the modirinth variable (polymorph, jei:beta...jade-addons-forge).
And also on the cf-mods.txt.

What I think is happening is after I appended new mods in both files, its detects that one of those has changed and tries to update, but for some reason, it did not do the other. Ex: it updates the CurseForge mods, but not the Modirinth, and then prooceds to lauch the game. For example, it tried to remove the Titanium mod, even tough its on the Modrinth list. and then after crashing and just running docker compose up again, it will just download the mod and proceeded to work fine.

What I expected was after updating the list with the newer versions, it would download and use the newer instead of the old.

Update: Even when not appending extra mods, the issue happens. It looks like every new mod update, it will try to download it. But sometimes, they choose the old version instead of the newer and deletes it.
The mods looks to be when recently updated.
Ex: Create, Jade, Titanium. All of these mods where recently updated and the builder glitches and thinks the old version is the recently one.

Right now, to Bypass the issue, I have to manually remove the Mods folder and ".modrinth-manifest.json" | ".curseforge-files-manifest.json" files.

======

I would also would like to request a feature to force to skip the Mods update. Since if the server crashes and when rebooted will force a mod update, if there is a new Major version and its specified to download the latest mod, it would upgrade it and would require the client to do it as well.
It would also be great if every time the server update a mod, would create a .txt file with all the mods Upgraded and removed. I know I can get it trough logs, but this requires listing all log instead of just the beginning where list when a mod is removed/upgraded.
