Previously the branch was named docs/sync-output-YYYY-MM-DD, so each daily run created a new branch and opened a new PR — even though an existing one was still open. There are currently 5 stale open PRs as a result. Use a fixed branch name (docs/sync-output) instead. The force-push already updates the branch in-place; the gh pr view guard then skips opening a new PR when one is already open, so re-runs simply update the existing PR.

Avoids noisy daily force-pushes (and associated CI reruns) when the open PR already reflects the current dbc output. The step only fires when docs/ on main is stale vs dbc, so we know changes exist relative to main — but if the remote docs/sync-output branch was already pushed with the same content (i.e. dbc hasn't released since), there's nothing new to push. Uses git diff --cached against origin/docs/sync-output -- docs/ to compare just the docs subtree.

The Sync Docs job can open multiple PRs if existing ones aren't merged before it runs again. This PR makes it so there's only ever one sync PR open at a time by:
