chore: remove remaining import scratch from data/

[jeffreylouden]

PR #426 added a .gitignore whitelist so data/ tracks only the five canonical collections, and removed the data/ddmf/merge-pr-body.md leak. Five more slipped past it.

Why the guard missed them

All five landed after #426. PRs #409, #410, #411, #412 and #414 were branched before the guard and merged after it, so their already-staged scratch files were unaffected by the new ignore rule — gitignore has no say over what's already staged.

Changes

Removes the five stragglers:

• data/algorithmix/merge-pr-body.md
• data/aly-james-lab/merge-pr-body.md
• data/aom/merge-pr-body.md
• data/auburn-sounds/merge-pr-body.md
• data/black-salt-audio/merge-pr-body.md

These are gh pr create --body-file inputs, not catalog data.

Verification

• Nothing in the codebase references merge-pr-body outside data/ itself
• No YAML in any of the five directories — pnpm validate unchanged at 16729 entries, no new warnings
• No changeset: .github/workflows/changeset.yml only fires on ^data/.*\.yaml$, and chore: remove import scratch from data/ and guard against recurrence #426 set the same precedent

Note

The guard itself is holding — no scratch has been committed to data/ in the ~2 months since these five landed, and the source workflow was separately fixed to write to the racks scratch dir. This is cleanup of a closed problem, not a live leak.
