A freshly-installed repo is the common case, not an error — so every empty
surface says what will fill it, not just that it's empty.

- one shared components/common/empty-state.tsx (dashed card, one earned icon,
  terse title + a description of what lands there, optional action) matched to
  the tripwire-design tokens.
- home moderation queue: nothing awaiting moderation — blocked changes that need
  a decision land here.
- /activity: distinct no-activity-yet vs no-filter-match; error branch too.
- /rules + /workflows: no-repo-linked state + a /rules pre-first-run hint.

stat cards keep honest zeros. Checks: typecheck, biome, boundaries, 204 tests.
