Compares two branch scores per convergence.md "Branch selection": higher
effectiveCommitDepth, then witness quorum beats none, then higher
rawCommitDepth, then higher appWitnessScore, then LOWER tipDigest. Returns a
positive number when a ranks above b (so the canonical branch is the
maximum under this ordering).
