--force-discovery

• Forces the app-discovery (scanning) phase to run immediately on the very next run, even if DiscoveryFrequency hasn't elapsed yet. It's a one-shot trigger: it applies once and then automatically clears itself - including when the run is relaunched via the LaunchDaemon (e.g. triggered remotely through Jamf), so it still takes effect even though the relaunched process doesn't see the original command-line flag.
• Data Type: trigger only
• Note: an administrator-disabled discovery workflow (WorkflowDisableAppDiscovery) still takes priority - --force-discovery only bypasses the DiscoveryFrequency wait, not a hard disable.

Command option example:
--force-discovery

--discovery-frequency=

• Skips the app-discovery (scanning) phase on subsequent runs within this configurable time window (in hours). See Discovery Frequency for more details.
