Download forgejo archive is not being skipped in check mode

[pat-s]

I have the following vars set

    gitea_version: 7.0.2
    gitea_version_check: false

and running the role in check mode results in

According to AI this is because of

Since not gitea_version_check | bool evaluates to true, the entire condition evaluates to true immediately due to the or operator. In logical expressions using or, if any part of the expression is true, the entire expression is true.

Setting gitea_version_check: true solves the issue. But I'd argue that check mode should work regardless of whether gitea_version_check is true or false?
