detectBundleSkew() trusted `git rev-list --count <stamp>..HEAD -- apps/desktop`
outright, which claims skew in two states where the install is not torn.
Ancestry: `A..HEAD` only measures how far HEAD is ahead of A when A is an
ancestor of HEAD. A ZIP-fallback update rewrites the tree onto a synthetic
root, so the stamp still resolves but is unreachable; the range degenerates to
HEAD's own history and reports a permanent >= 1 while apps/desktop is
byte-identical. Ask `merge-base --is-ancestor` first and go quiet unless it
answers yes.
Scope: the pathspec counted every file under apps/desktop/, so a docs- or
e2e-only commit produced a banner promising missing UI features that do not
exist. Count only the paths that reach the shipped app.
