enhancement(#40): integrate branch pruning into /gsd-cleanup archival workflow (#564)

* enhancement(#40): integrate branch pruning into /gsd-cleanup archival workflow

Adds a prune_local_branches step to cleanup.md (between archive_phases and
commit) that force-deletes local branches whose upstream is gone — keeping
local clones symmetric with delete_branch_on_merge on GitHub.

Key design choices vs. PR #562 (the local-model draft):
- dry-run step shows stale branches using cached tracking refs only; git
  fetch --prune is deferred to the execution step so the dry-run is
  non-side-effecting
- awk uses { if ($1 != "*") print $1 } form to explicitly exclude the
  currently checked-out branch (the * prefix in git branch -vv output),
  not a prose note that lets xargs receive literal * as an argument
- git fetch --prune runs exactly once, in prune_local_branches, eliminating
  the TOCTOU window between a preview fetch and an execution fetch
- two new negative-contract tests: identify_completed_milestones must not
  run git branch commands; show_dry_run must not run git fetch --prune

Closes #40

* chore: regenerate changeset using repo script (correct format)

Replaces hand-written fragment (used `/** ... */` comment syntax)
with one generated by `npm run changeset -- --type Changed --pr 562`.

* fix: address codex review blockers — protect main/next/trunk, align dry-run with execution

Codex adversarial review (pre-PR gate) flagged two blockers:

1. awk filter only excluded '*' (current branch) but not protected names.
   main/next/trunk/develop could be force-deleted if their upstream was
   gone. Fix: use !~ /^\*$|^main$|^next$|^trunk$|^develop$/ regex match.

2. Dry-run enumerated from cached tracking refs; execution re-ran
   git fetch --prune, creating a TOCTOU window between what the user
   confirmed and what got deleted. Fix: move git fetch --prune into
   show_dry_run (prefetch for display accuracy); prune_local_branches
   now enumerates from the already-fetched state with no second fetch.

Updated 14 structural tests to match new design (added protected-name
exclusion test; inverted show_dry_run fetch assertion).

/gsd-cleanup now prunes local branches whose upstream is gone — symmetric with delete_branch_on_merge; dry-run is non-side-effecting and current-branch exclusion is explicit in the awk filter

### `/gsd-cleanup`
Archive accumulated phase directories from completed milestones.
Archive accumulated phase directories from completed milestones and prune local branches whose upstream has been deleted.
```bash
/gsd-cleanup
```
On confirmation, the workflow performs two actions:
1. **Phase archival** — moves phase directories from `.planning/phases/` into milestone archive directories under `.planning/milestones/v{X.Y}-phases/`, using archived ROADMAP snapshots to determine phase membership.
2. **Branch pruning** — runs `git fetch --prune` to update remote-tracking refs, then identifies and force-deletes local branches whose upstream is marked gone. The currently checked-out branch is always skipped.
The dry-run summary shows both phase directories to archive and candidate local branches for deletion before confirmation.

After phase archival, prune local branches whose upstream has been deleted. Use the same filter as the dry-run so the execution list matches exactly what the user confirmed:
```bash
git branch -vv | awk '/: gone\]/ { if ($1 !~ /^\*$|^main$|^next$|^trunk$|^develop$/) print $1 }' | xargs -r git branch -D
```
Notes:
- `git fetch --prune` already ran in `show_dry_run` — the tracking refs are current and this step enumerates from the same state the user confirmed.
- `!~ /^\*$/` skips the currently checked-out branch (prefixed with `* ` in `git branch -vv` output, so `$1` yields `*`).
- `!~ /^main$|^next$|^trunk$|^develop$/` excludes protected branch names even if their upstream is gone — matches the dry-run exclusion exactly.
- `xargs -r` prevents `git branch -D` from running with no arguments when no stale branches exist.
