docs: record branch and worktree reconciliation

[BigSimmo]

Summary

• record the methodical branch/worktree reconciliation and exact-head dispositions in the append-only review ledger
• preserve useful or ambiguous work; delete only clean, closed, merged, patch-contained, or superseded refs after recovery archival
• leave dirty, process-owned, recently moving, queue-owned, and protected RAG work untouched
• consolidate the cleanup evidence into this single documentation-only PR

RAG impact: no retrieval behaviour change — reconciliation ledger only; protected retrieval source and behavior are unchanged.

Verification

• npm run check:branch-review-ledger — 443 live records + 1206 archived; no duplicates, malformed rows, conflict markers, or mojibake
• exact row-set proof — all 297 current-main rows retained verbatim, plus 146 unique cleanup records, zero duplicates
• npm run docs:check-index — all 49 roots/modules/routes and schema tables indexed
• npm run docs:check-links — 1413 repository references resolve
• npm run docs:check-scripts — 412 npm-run references resolve
• git diff --check — pass

Recovery and scope

• nineteen verified recovery bundles were created before destructive cleanup; the latest is Database-branch-cleanup-20260731-batch19.bundle (SHA-256 9E08DFF1FE6B50503C1BE8D2FC81057A146C96A2723632A53A650C87BE151B37)
• exact deleted tips are also retained under refs/archive/branch-worktree-cleanup-20260731/**
• no production data, Supabase, Railway, OpenAI, deployment, or non-GitHub provider workflow was touched

Risk

Documentation-only. The primary checkout and all active/dirty/process-owned worktrees remain preserved. This PR is intentionally draft and queued after active work.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Expanded the branch cleanup ledger with additional records covering merged, superseded, ancestor, inactive-worktree, and safely removable branches.
  • Documented cleanup decisions, supporting merge and ancestry evidence, worktree status, and verified SHA-256 checksums to improve maintenance tracking and reviewability.

[BigSimmo]

Temporarily closing during the ordered merge sweep to keep one active PR and avoid branch/worktree ledger churn. Unique content will be reviewed in sequence.

[BigSimmo]

Re-freezing during the ordered sweep because the head advanced concurrently before the reviewed repair could be published. The new delta is being inspected and will be integrated if valid.
