docs: forbid rebasing task branches, and record phase 0 as merged
verify-and-publish / gate (push) Successful in 3m0s
verify-and-publish / publish (push) Has been skipped

Task 03 rebased its branch onto task 01 and flattened the merge into four
duplicate commits — but the rule file was *telling* it to: "Before you start:
git rebase origin/main". Replaced with merge-based guidance and an explicit
prohibition, since a rewritten task branch is the same divergent-history trap
that broke the pages branch.

Also corrects gates.md tier 3, which promised screenshot comparison in CI that
is not wired in and cannot be until visual-regression.mjs grows a compare mode.

HANDOVER.md now reflects 01-04 merged, pnpm, and carries forward the review
findings that were noted but deliberately not fixed.

## Never rebase a task branch
Not onto `main`, not onto another task branch, not "just to tidy up". A rebase
rewrites every commit with a new SHA, so a branch that others branched from — or
that has already been merged — turns into a duplicate history that no longer
shares an ancestor with the original. Task 03 did this and flattened task 01's
merge into four look-alike commits; it is the same divergent-history trap that
broke the `pages` branch.
To pick up new work from `main`, **merge it in**: `git merge origin/main`. The
extra merge commit is the price of a history that stays true, and it is cheap.
## Before you start
1. `git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main` — start from current `main`.
1. `git fetch origin` — then branch from the ref your task file names as its
base. Do not assume that base is `main`.
2. Read your task file end to end before writing anything.
3. Confirm your task's dependencies are merged. Task files list them.
