Create an organization from the workbench — behind the 'be sure there is no match' gate
The workbench could only find orgs that already exist. '+ New organization' opens a gated create: scored candidates from every match signal surface first, picking one just opens it, and creating is an explicit choice past the gate — with the new org's domain seeded so it's matchable from birth.

What shipped (#29)
A + New organization button beside the org search opens
OrgCreateInline — the third member of the gate family
(AddPersonInline, AddAffiliationInline). The operator types a name and
optionally a website/domain, and "Find matches" runs the scored
candidate path (resolver.candidates: slug 100 · domain 90 · fuzzy name
60, with per-candidate link/stream/corpus counts) — not the autocomplete's
lighter name-contains. The gate always shows: picking a candidate simply
opens that org's card (no write); "No match — create" is an explicit
choice past the evidence, never a silent submit.
A created org seeds its domains[] from the given site (domain-matchable
from birth, per the bio-promotion precedent) and the website URL lands as
its first org_links entry.
Zero new verbs, one access fix
Creation rides person.affiliate's documented org-only path (no
person_uuid → resolve the org, no edge, no observation) — the
"independent decisions" design earning its keep. The one service change is
a fix the flow surfaced: resolveOrgRow's create branch, when the slug
already exists (minted by another client), returned the org without
granting the caller's client access — the follow-up card load couldn't see
its own result. Create-intent now unions client_access, consistent with
the shared-canonical / per-workspace-visibility model.
Verification
Resolver typecheck clean; org-workbench svelte-check 92 files / 0 errors; org-workbench + shell builds green; resolver container rebuilt and reconnected to NATS. Operator walk-through: ➕ → type a known org's name (candidates surface, top one opens on click) → type a genuinely new org with its domain → gate shows none → create → the card opens with the website already in its links.
