### Description
`NaturalSortCompare` (`modules/base/natural_sort.go`) compares two
numeric run parts by **raw string length**:
```go
if len(part1) != len(part2) {
return len(part1) - len(part2)
}
```
"Longer digit string = larger number" only holds without leading zeros.
With zero-padded numbers the comparison inverts:
- `file0001` vs `file2` → claims `file0001 > file2`, but `1 < 2`
- `a08` vs `a9` → claims `a08 > a9`, but `8 < 9`
This affects any natural-ordered listing where zero-padded and shorter
unpadded numbers mix (branch/tag/file names, etc.).
### Fix
Strip leading zeros before comparing digit-count magnitude; on equal
magnitude fall back to collation, then to the original length so fewer
leading zeros sort first. Added a small `naturalSortTrimZeros` helper
(keeps one char so `"000"` → `"0"`).
