fix(lineage): explain when an Event Lineage chain has no branch point

[seonghobae]

Summary

Re-cuts the real fix from #540 (commit 4647945) as a fresh PR against current main. #540's branch drags ~900 stale commits and conflicts with post-mega-merge main in 311 files.

• A reader opening a post whose reconstructed Event Lineage is a single linear chain saw the DAG's "Branch point" legend entry never light up, with no text explaining why the chain just keeps going without any branches.
• Root cause: is_branch_point (backend/app/lineage_ingestion.py::visible_lineage_graph) is only true when a post has 2+ children — correct reconstruction behavior, not a bug — but LineageDag.tsx never surfaced that to the reader.
• Adds an explicit role="note" explanation whenever a lineage group has edges but no branch-point node, translated across all five product locales (en/ko/zh/ja/vi) with a matching test.

Note: #540's LineageDag.tsx has since diverged from main's (inference-boundary note, evidence trail table, legend) — this PR adapts the note's placement to main's current, simpler component rather than porting the original diff verbatim.

Test plan

• tsc -b --force clean
• LineageDag.test.tsx (2 new cases: shows the note on a linear chain, omits it when a real branch point exists or there are no edges)
• Full frontend suite: 230/230 passed

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to aa5ca

The PR improves explanations for linear Event Lineage chains, but the displayed guidance still has an inaccurate root-record description and some related interface text falls back to English in four locales. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on wording and translations.

Both threads addressed in the pushed commit: the note now says each non-root record matched exactly one likely predecessor, in all five locales (en/ko/zh/ja/vi), with the component test updated. LineageDag + i18n suites 45/45 locally.
