@copilot instead of skipping the job completely, skip only the creation of the issue. Instead of creating the issue emit the markdown for the issue body to the console.

Done in 1f05130. The job now runs for both scheduled and manual triggers. When triggered via workflow_dispatch, it outputs the markdown issue body to the console instead of updating the issue. The markdown is wrapped in clear delimiters for easy identification in the logs.
