fix(dashboard): prefer merge-base over outdated baseCommitSha

When a worktree was rebased onto newer main, baseCommitSha remained an
ancestor of HEAD but the range baseCommitSha..HEAD then swept in upstream
main commits as if they were task changes (FN-2840 showed 33 files for a
4-file task). The previous display-recovery only fired when baseCommitSha
was no longer an ancestor, missing this case.

When enableDisplayRecovery is on and baseBranch is missing, also compute
merge-base(HEAD, main) and prefer it when it's a descendant of
baseCommitSha (tighter fork point). When merge-base is not a descendant
(FN-2855: baseCommitSha is on a deleted feature branch), keep
baseCommitSha so we don't widen to unrelated upstream files.

Also stabilizes the card-vs-Changes-tab divergence: resolution no longer
depends on whether a rebase happened between polls.

* after `baseCommitSha` was recorded; baseCommitSha is no longer an
* ancestor of HEAD. Without recovery the code falls to `headRef~1`,
* showing only the latest commit's files.
* 2. **Outdated baseCommitSha** (FN-2840): worktree rebased onto newer
* `main`; baseCommitSha is *still* an ancestor of HEAD but the range
* `baseCommitSha..HEAD` now sweeps in upstream main commits as if they
* were task changes (33 files instead of the 4 the task actually
