Persist a branch-scoped Lighthouse baseline with the full reports, restore it on the next deployment, and publish a sticky PR comparison comment with a direct artifact link. Cancel stale branch deploys and remove superseded artifacts so each branch retains one current baseline.

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] fix(ci): compare Lighthouse against target branch

Restore the Lighthouse artifact for each pull request's base branch instead of the previous artifact from its head branch. Report missing target baselines as N/A so the first stack layer can establish the initial baseline without implying a zero score.
