docs: surface sandcastle image-build step (one-time setup)

Closes the gap the user hit running `pnpm work decompose --execute`:
sandcastle errored with `Image 'sandcastle:template-vertical' not
found locally. Build it first with 'sandcastle docker build-image'`,
but neither the README nor the runbook documented this step.

README.md: new "Sandcastle setup (one-time)" section after Quick
reference. Three commands (docker info, build-image, auth) — the
minimum needed to make dispatch work. Links to the runbook for the
full lifecycle.

docs/guides/runbook.md: Prerequisites in "Using Sandcastle" grow
from 4 to 5 items. New step 2 walks through `sandcastle docker
build-image`, quotes the exact "Image not found locally" error so
agents searching for the string land on the fix, and shows the
remove-image + rebuild flow for Dockerfile edits.

.sandcastle/README.md: new "Build the sandbox image (one-time)"
section parallel to the env section, cross-linking to the runbook.

scripts/work/decompose.mjs + scripts/work/dispatch.mjs: when the
sandcastle error message matches the "Image '.+' not found locally"
pattern, the dispatcher now prints the build-image command inline
above the generic "See runbook" line. The error stack itself remains
unchanged.

## Sandcastle setup (one-time)
Required only if you'll use `pnpm work dispatch --execute` or `pnpm work decompose <id> --execute` (agent dispatch). The dispatch loop runs the implementer / reviewer / decomposer agents inside an isolated Docker sandbox; the image is built once locally.
```bash
# 1. Ensure Docker is running
docker info >/dev/null
# 2. Build the sandcastle image (reads .sandcastle/Dockerfile)
pnpm exec sandcastle docker build-image
# Tags as: sandcastle:template-vertical (derived from the root package.json name)
# 3. Pick ONE auth path:
# (a) Recommended — Claude Pro/Max subscription:
claude login # one-time; ~/.claude/ becomes the auth source
# (b) Fallback — API key:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
```
After the image exists, dispatch flows work without further setup:
```bash
pnpm work dispatch # print plan (safe anywhere)
pnpm work dispatch --execute # actually dispatch via sandcastle
pnpm work decompose <prd-id> # print decompose plan
pnpm work decompose <prd-id> --execute # decompose an approved PRD
```
To rebuild the image after changing `.sandcastle/Dockerfile`:
```bash
pnpm exec sandcastle docker remove-image
pnpm exec sandcastle docker build-image
```
See [`docs/guides/runbook.md` → Using Sandcastle](./docs/guides/runbook.md#using-sandcastle-for-agent-dispatch) for the full dispatch lifecycle, auth modes, and troubleshooting.
