[aw-daily] GAP-003: Add on.stale-check: sub-field to frontmatter-schema.md (v0.68.3) #27

@zircote

Description

@zircote

Gap Details

Type: missing
File: skills/aw-author/references/frontmatter-schema.md
Section: Section 2 Triggers — on: sub-fields

Current Content

The on: section documents trigger types (issues, pull_request, schedule, etc.) but does not document the stale-check: sub-field.

Expected Content

Add to the on: sub-fields section:

**`stale-check:`** — Boolean, default `true`. Controls whether the activation job verifies that the frontmatter hash matches the compiled workflow.

When `false`, disables the hash check step. Required when workflow files are managed outside the default repository context (e.g., cross-repo org rulesets where the compiled `.lock.yml` and the source `.md` are in different repos).

```yaml
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 9 * * *'
  stale-check: false
