fix: remove safe worktrees before reassessing remote delete ownership (#851)

Post-merge cleanup previously continued past ownership-blocked remote
deletes, which skipped independently safe local worktree removal when the
only block was worktree_binding. Remove the clean owned worktree first,
reassess ownership, then delete the remote branch only if still safe.
Preserve fail-closed protection for dirty/foreign ownership categories.

Closes #851
