[CHORE] Fix repository-dispatch branch reset boolean payload

[c-vigo]

Chore Type

CI / Build change

Description

Fix the smoke-test repository-dispatch workflow branch-reset step that fails when reusing an existing deploy branch (chore/deploy-<tag>).

Current failure in Prepare deploy branch and metadata:

• gh api -X PATCH ... -f force=true
• GitHub API returns HTTP 422 because force is sent as a string instead of a boolean.

This blocks deploy PR creation for repeat dispatches/re-runs.

Acceptance Criteria

• repository-dispatch updates an existing chore/deploy-<tag> branch without API validation errors
• Deploy tag and open PR to dev completes successfully for both:
  • first run (branch create path)
  • rerun/redeploy (branch patch path)
• Dispatch summary passes after deploy succeeds
• Add or update tests/verification evidence for this workflow behavior

Implementation Notes

• Update gh api argument typing for the PATCH call in:
  • assets/smoke-test/.github/workflows/repository-dispatch.yml
  • build/assets/smoke-test/.github/workflows/repository-dispatch.yml
• Prefer typed boolean input (e.g. -F force=true) or equivalent JSON payload with boolean true.
• Validate with a manual dispatch against an existing deploy branch.
