Must a spy who can win the game by failing a mission actually fail it?

Several players agree no rule forces the fail and that it is a matter of play style.

No. No rule requires a Spy to play Fail, even when it would win the game. Doing so is poor play and wastes the tension of the reveal, but it is allowed.
