Publish ledger entries to the review timeline

Description

Summary

Adds a LedgerPublisher that writes each settled ledger entry to the review timeline
Emits timeline.entry_published events so open review tabs update without a refresh
Backfills existing ledgers with a one-off backfill-ledger-timeline job
Marks entries as published from the GitHub webhook instead of polling

Motivation

Reviewers currently have to open the ledger tab to see what changed since their last pass. Publishing entries to the timeline puts that history next to the comments it explains, and lets the review page react to new entries in real time.

Polling GitHub for merge state was the main source of stale entries; the webhook path removes that delay and the extra API calls.

Testing

Unit tests for LedgerPublisher ordering and idempotency
Ran the backfill against a staging snapshot (12,480 entries, 41s)
Opened two review tabs and confirmed new entries appear in both

UI Previews

Make every change legible.

Assert breaks pull requests down into a structure easier to review.

Start by reviewing the product rather than the code.

Assert builds a preview of each page the pull request touches, with no configuration required. It posts videos, screenshots, and product states you can replay.

See it before and afterVideos and screenshots of each page, recorded before and after the change.

Schedule the merge, then move on.

Merge once the latest commit is approved, after the pull requests it depends on land, or after a wait. Assert pings you in Slack before it goes.

Wrap the insert and the event in one transaction so a failed publish can’t leave a half-written entry.
