Description

new bug with the rename & overwrite check. If you do something like:

1. Delete xyz.
2. Rename abc to xyz

DA will do a HEAD request to check for xyz existence to prevent overwrites and if you're in a normal browsing context (no console open / no cache), the browser use its existing cache and say, "sorry, this page does exist." even when it doesn't We need the fetch to bypass the default browser cache.

From [slack convo](https://adobe-dx-support.slack.com/archives/C06HHBGPWMD/p1776793710669129?thread_ts=1776274320.627189&cid=C06HHBGPWMD)

Research direction

Start by locating the rename/overwrite flow and the HEAD request used to check whether the destination exists. Reproduce the delete-then-rename sequence in a normal browsing context without the console or cache controls, then verify that the existence check bypasses the browser cache and does not report the deleted page as present.
