## Goal

Track the existing untracked `docs/guides/operator-checklist.md` in git without altering its content. Establishes it as the baseline before the refresh story rewrites sections.

## Why

`docs/guides/operator-checklist.md` has been untracked since the ADR-022/023 work. The PRD (Q5) calls for landing it verbatim as a separate commit so the "what existed" diff is legible for review, distinct from the "what changed" diff that story 02 produces.

## Done when

- `git status` shows `docs/guides/operator-checklist.md` as tracked (no longer `??`).
- File content is identical to its untracked state — no edits.
- Commit type is `chore(docs)`.
- `pnpm lint && pnpm typecheck && pnpm test && pnpm conformance && pnpm fallow:audit` all pass.

## In scope

- Staging and committing `docs/guides/operator-checklist.md` verbatim.

## Out of scope

- Any content changes to the file (story 02).
- Any other files.

## Tasks

- [x] Stage and commit `docs/guides/operator-checklist.md` verbatim as `chore(docs): track operator-checklist.md verbatim`; no content edits — the file is committed exactly as found in the working tree.
