title: Sandcastle dispatch v1 — pnpm work dispatch with planning + execute modes
type: epic
status: done
features: [tooling, scripts]

## Goal

Install `@ai-hero/sandcastle` + ship `pnpm work dispatch` that picks the
next ready AC bullet, prints the dispatch plan, and (with `--execute`)
invokes sandcastle to run the implementer then reviewer.

## Why

The orchestrator closes the loop: docs/work/ tracks state, `.sandcastle/`
holds the prompts, and dispatch.mjs connects them to sandcastle.

## Stories

- [x] [01 — Install @ai-hero/sandcastle + Dockerfile](01-sandcastle-install/_story.md)
