Description
### Describe the issue
I have selected the project-wide Translation quality filter > 'needs-editing', on the hopes that only the good translations will go into the files. But the translations marked as needs-edit will not be updated, and the bad translation stays on the file.
### I already tried
- [x] I've read and searched [the documentation](https://docs.weblate.org/).
- [x] I've searched for similar filed issues in this repository.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Select Translation quality filter 'skip needs-edit'
2. Translate a string
3. Push to the repository
4. Mark string as needs-edit
5. Push to the repository again
### Expected behavior
The string should be removed from the file, because it is needs-edit.

Research direction
The payload names no implementation files or tests. Reproduce the project-wide “needs-editing” filter flow, then trace how marked strings are selected during the second repository push; done means a string marked as needs-editing is omitted from the pushed translation file, with a regression test covering the sequence.
