The checkbox that controls the dry run never said "dry run":

Report what would happen without uploading or invalidating

GitHub renders only the description as the label for a boolean
workflow_dispatch input, so the term a developer would scan for appeared
nowhere on the page. The run-name expression already rendered "(dry run)" in
the run title, so the title and the control that sets it disagreed.

Pairs with caltechlibrary/workflows#6, which fixes the same wording on the
shared action.

GitHub renders only the input description as the checkbox label, so the
previous wording -- "Report what would happen without uploading or
invalidating" -- never showed the term a developer would scan for. The
run-name already said "(dry run)", so the run title and the control that
sets it disagreed.
