Subject: [PATCH] feat(deploy): add force deploy detection to deployment
 workflow

- Implemented logic to check for a `[force-deploy]` tag in the latest commit message, allowing for a forced deployment regardless of detected changes.
- Updated deployment conditions to include force deploy status, enabling more flexible deployment options based on commit messages.
- Enhanced sync step to trigger on force deploy, ensuring content updates are applied even without file changes.
