-- [ ] Create `fixtures/vite-kitchen` at the repo root — minimal Vite + React + TS + Tailwind app with a `Button` component (typed props) — outside the pnpm workspace and turbo graph; confirm `pnpm install` and turbo ignore it and all gates stay green.
-- [ ] Add `core-testing` helpers that serve a fixture directory as a local bare repo / `git daemon` remote (setup/teardown, clone URL) with tests exercising a real `git clone` of `vite-kitchen`.
