Merged

The landing gate was squashing upstream pulls, so the upstream's commits did not stay ancestors of main. It now lands them as a merge. I ran `test/upstream_follow.test.ts` and `test/merge-queue.test.ts`, and both pass, and `tsc --noEmit` is clean. I did not run the full check.

The landing gate was squashing upstream pulls, so the upstream's commits did not stay ancestors of main. It now lands them as a merge. I ran test/upstream_follow.test.ts and test/merge-queue.test.ts, and both pass, and tsc --noEmit is clean. I did not run the full check.

What changed

The bug: the gate called mergePull(..., "squash") for every pull, which dropped the upstream's tip from main's history. The new test failed on it.
The fix: landGated in src/crew/autonomy.ts now uses "merge" for an upstream pull and "squash" for everything else. The pull is recognised by isUpstreamPull in src/core/upstream_follow.ts, which checks for an upstream/… head branch and the follow's pendingId.
The test: a new test in test/upstream_follow.test.ts opens the upstream pull through checkUpstream and lands it through landIfGreen, with a stubbed gate that returns green. It then asserts three things:

- the upstream tip is an ancestor of main; - the tip is a parent of main's tip; - the next check reads behind: 0 and outcome: "none".

Squash fails it: I did not try forcing the gate's strategy to squash after the fix. The test did fail on the original code, which squashed, so it catches that.
Timing: the new test took about 155 ms.

Left alone

Already-on-base path: the "already on the base, not landed again" path in admit still uses squash. It moves no commits and only closes the pull.
Manual landing: landing from the web, CLI or API is unchanged. The issue only covered the gate.

Closes #3558

Approved. The gate now lands the follow-opened upstream pull as a merge, and everything else still squashes. isUpstreamPull is a narrow check (upstream/ head branch plus the follow's pendingId). The test goes through checkUpstream and landIfGreen. It moves main first, so a fast-forward cannot pass it, and it asserts the tip is an ancestor and a parent of main and that the next check reads behind 0. I read the diff and mergePull but did not run the tests or load the preview. This change has no page or terminal surface. Next: (1) add a unit test for isUpstreamPull on a non-upstream branch and on a stale pendingId. (2) Check whether the already-on-base path in admit and the manual landing paths should also use merge for these pulls.
