Description

### Describe the problem

Currently running this docker on unRAID and have MODS_FORGEAPI_RELEASES="Beta" and the project id set to the one for Better Minecraft (482878), the container seems to be pulling v4 instead of v4.5 (latest). I'm wondering if this is just an issue with the forge API not updating or something with the image. Also as a feature request it might be nice in the future if there was someway to poll the API once a day (or a variable interval) to check if the local version is behind the remote, and to update it if so.

Research direction

Start at the container startup path that queries the Forge API for project 482878 with MODS_FORGEAPI_RELEASES set to Beta, and compare the API's selected release with v4 and v4.5. Done means determining whether the image or API lookup causes v4 to be chosen; the requested periodic polling and update behavior would require a separate scope decision.
