Install the default sales-led merchant pipeline stages (Prospect → Onboarding & go-live) as stage templates. Idempotent — existing (entityType, status, stepKey) rows are skipped so operator edits survive a re-seed; deleted rows are re-created.

`POST /workspaces/{organizationId}/stage-templates/seed`
