A newly recorded incident only showed up in search once a crawler
happened to come back. IndexNow lets Bing, Yandex and the other
participating engines know about changed URLs right away.
Bingo::IndexNow posts the card URLs plus the affected datacenter pages
to api.indexnow.org, in a background thread so admin saves don't wait.
Incidents ping their datacenter. Edits ping the datacenter, or every
page when positions move (create, delete, reorder, sort). A deleted
datacenter's pages are included so the engines see the 404. BingoWeb
serves the key at /<key>.txt.
The key comes from the INDEXNOW Forgejo secret, written to .env as
INDEXNOW_KEY. With no key set this does nothing.
