* fix(ci): vercel-ignore prefers merge-base over VERCEL_GIT_PREVIOUS_SHA on previews

PR #3346 was incorrectly skipped with 'Canceled by Ignored Build Step'
despite touching src/, pro-test/, and public/. Root cause: on a PR
branch's FIRST push, Vercel populates VERCEL_GIT_PREVIOUS_SHA in ways
that make the path-diff collapse to empty (e.g., same SHA as HEAD, or a
parent commit that sees no net change in the allowed paths).

The script preferred PREVIOUS_SHA and only fell back to
`git merge-base HEAD origin/main` when PREVIOUS_SHA was literally empty
or unresolvable — which misses the 'PREVIOUS_SHA resolves but gives
wrong answer' case that Vercel hits on first-push PRs.

Fix: flip the priority for PREVIEW deploys. Use merge-base first (the
stable truth: 'everything on this PR since it left main'), fall back to
PREVIOUS_SHA only for the rare shallow-clone scenario where origin/main
isn't in Vercel's clone and merge-base returns empty.

Main-branch branch (line 6) is UNCHANGED — it correctly wants
PREVIOUS_SHA = the last deployed commit, not merge-base (which would be
HEAD itself on main and skip every push).

Tested locally:
- PR branch + web change + PREVIOUS_SHA=HEAD → exit 1 (build) ✓
- PR branch + scripts-only change + PREVIOUS_SHA=HEAD → exit 0 (skip) ✓
- main + PREVIOUS_SHA=valid previous deploy → exit 1 (build) ✓

Related: PR #3346 needed an empty commit to retrigger the preview
deploy. After this fix, first-push PRs should deploy without the dance.

* chore: retrigger vercel deploy (previous attempt failed on git-provider transient)

# Why this ordering: on a PR branch's FIRST push, Vercel has historically
# set VERCEL_GIT_PREVIOUS_SHA to values that make the path-diff come back
# empty (the same SHA as HEAD, or a parent that sees no net change),
# causing "Canceled by Ignored Build Step" on PRs that genuinely touch
# web paths (PR #3346 incident: four web-relevant files changed, skipped
# anyway). merge-base is the stable truth: "everything on this PR since
# it left main", which is always a superset of any single push and is
# what the reviewer actually needs a preview for.
#
# PREVIOUS_SHA stays as the fallback for the rare shallow-clone edge case
# where `origin/main` isn't in Vercel's clone and merge-base returns
# empty. This is the opposite priority from the main-branch branch above
# (line 6), which correctly wants PREVIOUS_SHA = the last deployed commit.
