docs: record repository branch cleanup

[BigSimmo]

Summary

• record the completed local and remote branch cleanup
• document retained active, open-PR, and patch-unique work
• record merge-readiness decisions for PRs fix(a11y): add missing scope, aria-label, tabIndex and remove conflicting aria-hidden #654 and Fix release governance and offline readiness blockers #655

Why

The branch cleanup removed stale refs and inactive worktrees while preserving concurrent work. This ledger update prevents the same refs from being reviewed or deleted again without fresh evidence.

Files

• docs/branch-review-ledger.md

Verification

• npx prettier --check docs/branch-review-ledger.md
• npm run docs:check-links
• npm run docs:check-scripts
• git diff --check origin/main...HEAD
