docs(work): record baseline waiver, add repair story, tick task 01.1

First dispatched slice surfaced two pre-existing baseline gate failures
(turbo lint cycle via demo features; missing @vitest/coverage-v8 in 9
packages). Founder waived both with expiry conditions (lint until story
03's final deletion; L0 until new story 00 lands) — recorded in the
epic. Story 01 task 1 landed as 4d1d534, reviewer-approved.

+
+## Goal
+
+The L0 coverage layer runs clean across the whole workspace: every package that runs vitest has the `@vitest/coverage-v8` provider, and the documented full-coverage invocation actually parses (turbo requires an extra `--` to forward `--coverage` to vitest).
+
+## Why
+
+The first dispatched slice discovered (and the orchestrator verified) that the template snapshot's baseline is broken in two ways nobody had exercised — this repo's history is a single squashed initial commit, so CI never ran on it. This story fixes the L0 half. The other half — `pnpm lint` aborting at turbo task-graph construction on the committed `core-trpc → core-api → {blog, navigation, marketing-pages} → core-trpc` package cycle — is deliberately NOT fixed here: story 03's deletions remove the only edges that close the cycle (verified: `auth` carries no `core-trpc` dependency), so the founder-approved waiver in `_epic.md` covers `pnpm lint` until story 03's final deletion slice lands.
+
+## Done when
+
+- All 9 packages that previously failed the L0 run (cms, core-audit, core-cms, core-eslint, core-testing, core-trpc, turbo-generators, web-next, web-tanstack) carry `@vitest/coverage-v8` as a devDependency and their coverage run passes. (web-tanstack gets its devDep too even though story 03 deletes it — gates stay meaningful until then.)
+- Every documented occurrence of the broken `pnpm test -- --coverage` form (`.sandcastle/implementer.prompt.md`, `docs/guides/coverage.md`, CLAUDE.md quick-start if present) shows the invocation turbo actually forwards.
+- `pnpm typecheck && pnpm test && pnpm conformance && pnpm fallow:audit && pnpm coverage:diff` green (lint excluded per the epic's baseline waiver).
+
+## In scope
+
+- The `@vitest/coverage-v8` devDependency additions + lockfile update.
+- Correcting the documented L0 invocation everywhere it appears in repo docs/prompts.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Breaking the `core-trpc → core-api` package cycle (resolved structurally by story 03's deletions; waiver until then).
+- Any coverage-threshold or manifest band changes.
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Add `@vitest/coverage-v8` to the 9 packages missing it (cms, core-audit, core-cms, core-eslint, core-testing, core-trpc, turbo-generators, web-next, web-tanstack), update the lockfile, and correct the documented L0 invocation in `.sandcastle/implementer.prompt.md` + `docs/guides/coverage.md` (+ CLAUDE.md if it repeats the broken form) — one commit; the full L0 run passes across all coverage-capable packages.

 Three concrete pains (PRD): dispatch agents in worktrees cannot read the untracked `.proto/` spec bundle; `pnpm work status`, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, and release-please all describe a blog/CMS starter that no longer reflects the product; and the demo features occupy the workspace, router/CMS composition, and versioning config that the Veect features (workspaces, projects, design-doc, discovery, ai) need.

+## Baseline gate waiver (founder-approved 2026-07-12)
+
+The template snapshot's baseline (single squashed initial commit — CI never ran on it) is broken in two ways discovered by the first dispatched slice and verified by the orchestrator:
+
+1. **`pnpm lint` aborts at turbo task-graph construction** — committed package cycle `core-trpc → core-api → {blog, navigation, marketing-pages} → core-trpc` with `lint.dependsOn: ["^lint"]`. No ESLint rule ever runs. **Waived for this epic's commits until story 03's final deletion slice lands** — deleting the three demo features removes the only edges closing the cycle (`auth` has no `core-trpc` dependency), so the waiver expires there and `pnpm lint` becomes mandatory again.
+2. **The L0 full-coverage run fails** — 9 packages lack `@vitest/coverage-v8`, and the documented invocation doesn't parse under turbo. **Waived until story 00 lands** (the repair story).
+
+All other gates (`typecheck`, `test`, `conformance`, `fallow:audit`, `coverage:diff`, `coverage:aggregate`) remain mandatory on every slice — no exceptions.
