  /**
   * Enqueue a forced favicon re-fetch for a domain (#3780).
   *
   * ASYNC: the endpoint returns a queued success immediately
   * (`{ record: null, details: { msg } }`) — the new icon lands later via the
   * background favicon worker. Unlike verifyDomain, the response carries no
   * domain record to parse, so this mirrors verifyDomain's `$api.post` call but
   * resolves void; callers show a "refreshing/queued" state and re-fetch rather
   * than reading image bytes here. The backend overwrite-guard still protects a
   * user-uploaded icon, so a forced refresh cannot clobber one.
