Christian Byrne a7218b2922 fix: fix perf CI pipeline — z-score baselines, force-push staleness, baseline storage (#9886)
## Summary

Fixes three critical issues with the CI performance reporting pipeline
that made perf reports useless on PRs (demonstrated by PR #9248 — deep
watcher removal merged without useful perf signal).

## Changes

### 1. Fix z-score baseline variance collection (`0/5 runs`)
**Root cause:** PR #9305 added z-score statistical analysis code to
`perf-report.ts`, but the historical data download step was placed in
the wrong workflow file. The report is generated in
`pr-perf-report.yaml` (a `workflow_run`-triggered job), but the
historical download was in `ci-perf-report.yaml` (the test runner) —
different runners, different filesystems.

**Fix:** Implement `perf-data` orphan branch storage:
- On push to main: save `perf-metrics.json` to `perf-data` branch with
timestamped filename
- On PR report: fetch last 5 baselines from `perf-data` branch into
`temp/perf-history/`
- Rolling window of 20 baselines, oldest pruned automatically
- Same pattern used by `github-action-benchmark` (33.7k repos)

### 2. Fix force-push comment staleness
**Root cause:** `cancel-in-progress: true` kills the perf test run
before it uploads artifacts. The downstream report workflow only
triggers on `conclusion == 'success'` — cancelled runs are ignored, so
the comment from the first successful run goes stale.

**Fix:**
- Change `cancel-in-progress: false` — with GitHub's queue depth of 1,
rapid pushes (A,B,C,D) run A and D, skipping B and C
- Add SHA validation in `pr-perf-report.yaml` — before posting, check if
the workflow_run's head SHA still matches the PR's current head. Skip
posting stale results.

### 3. Add permissions for baseline operations
- `contents: write` on CI job (needed for pushing to perf-data branch)
- `actions: read` on both workflows (needed for artifact/baseline
access)

## One-time setup required
After merging, create the `perf-data` orphan branch:
```bash
git checkout --orphan perf-data
git rm -rf .
echo '# Performance Baselines' > README.md
mkdir -p baselines
git add README.md baselines
git commit -m 'Initialize perf-data branch'
git push origin perf-data
```

The first 2 pushes to main after setup will build up variance data, and
z-scores will start appearing in PR reports (threshold is
`historical.length >= 2`).

## Testing
- YAML validated with `yaml.safe_load()`
- `perf-report.ts` `loadHistoricalReports()` already reads from
`temp/perf-history/<index>/perf-metrics.json` — no code changes needed
- All new steps use `continue-on-error: true` for graceful degradation

GitHub Workflows

Naming Convention

Workflow files follow a consistent naming pattern: <prefix>-<descriptive-name>.yaml

Category Prefixes

Prefix Purpose Example
ci- Testing, linting, validation ci-tests-e2e.yaml
release- Version management, publishing release-version-bump.yaml
pr- PR automation (triggered by labels) pr-claude-review.yaml
api- External Api type generation api-update-registry-api-types.yaml
i18n- Internationalization updates i18n-update-core.yaml

Documentation

Each workflow file contains comments explaining its purpose, triggers, and behavior. For specific details about what each workflow does, refer to the comments at the top of each .yaml file.

For GitHub Actions documentation, see Events that trigger workflows.
