Subject: [PATCH] validate the gamepad and robot dataflows in CI

Both pull sibling nodes by `git:`, but dora resolves the wiring without
fetching them, so this stays offline. It is what catches a drift between the
robot dataflow's output_types block and the tag it pins.

Also ignore `git/`, where dora build leaves those clones.
