fix(dossiers-ngi): update README and scripts for branch status

-Rebuild runs **only when** the current origin tip is not already a successful freeze (`freeze_ok`; timer never forces). Cookie alias `editions/flask` copies from `DEFAULT_BRANCH` unless that alias is already `freeze_ok` for the same tip **and** `.edition-built-at` matches the source freeze.
+Rebuild runs **only when** the current origin tip is not already a successful freeze (`freeze_ok`; timer never forces).
 Each run also: `git fetch --prune`, `worktree prune`, drop stale
 `editions/<slug>/` (gone remotes), purge leftover `tdpd-*` tmp dirs.
