Danijel Martinek cd0a332443 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/
This directory holds prompt templates that the future orchestrator
(`pnpm work dispatch` in the `sandcastle-dispatch-v1` epic) feeds to
[sandcastle](https://github.com/mattpocock/sandcastle) when dispatching
agents.
## Prompt templates
| File | Role | Variables |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `prd-eliciter.prompt.md` | Interview a human to produce a PRD draft | `{{INITIAL_BRIEF}}` |
| `adr-eliciter.prompt.md` | Interview a human to produce an ADR draft | `{{INITIAL_PROPOSAL}}` |
| `decomposer.prompt.md` | Turn a PRD into epic + story files | `{{PRD_FILE_CONTENT}}` |
| `implementer.prompt.md` | Execute a single task | `{{TASK_FILE_CONTENT}}` |
| `reviewer.prompt.md` | Review the implementer's diff | `{{TASK_FILE_CONTENT}}`, `{{DIFF}}` |
## Convention: every prompt enforces "generators first"
Each prompt template starts with the same non-negotiable rule: **the agent
must prefer `pnpm turbo gen <kind>` over hand-rolled scaffolding.** This
applies to feature packages, events, jobs, realtime channels, optional
core packages, and atomic-design components. Hand-rolled code is only
acceptable when the generator's output doesn't cover the case — and even
then, the agent runs the generator first and modifies its output rather
than starting from scratch.
## Environment
Configure runtime tokens via `.env` (gitignored). Copy `.env.example`
and fill values for the providers you use.
## Build the sandbox image (one-time)
Sandcastle dispatches into a Docker image tagged `sandcastle:<root-package-name>`.
Build it once per clone before `pnpm work dispatch --execute` or
`pnpm work decompose <id> --execute` will work:
```bash
pnpm exec sandcastle docker build-image
# Tags: sandcastle:template-vertical
```
Rebuild after editing this `Dockerfile`:
```bash
pnpm exec sandcastle docker remove-image
pnpm exec sandcastle docker build-image
```
See [`docs/guides/runbook.md` → Using Sandcastle → Prerequisites](../docs/guides/runbook.md#using-sandcastle-for-agent-dispatch) for the full setup.
## Manual usage
Until the orchestrator ships, these templates are usable manually: copy
the relevant `.prompt.md` content into a Claude / Codex / other agent
session, fill the `{{VARIABLE}}` placeholders by hand, and run.
