Closes #

What I did

Follow-up to #36610. That PR added a temporary workaround to the svelte-kit/skeleton-ts sandbox template. SvelteKit 3 and sv 1.x were younger than the 7-day npm age gate.

This PR removes the workaround:

• --min-release-age=0 in the npx sv@latest create script
• minAgeGateExemptions: ['@sveltejs/kit', '@sveltejs/adapter-auto']
• inDevelopment: true
• the TODO comment that explains them

It is now safe:

• The published sandbox in storybookjs/sandboxes has @sveltejs/kit: ^3.0.0.
• sv@latest (1.0.1) installs with NPM_CONFIG_MIN_RELEASE_AGE=7 and no flag.

Manual testing

Caution

This section is mandatory for all contributions. If you believe no manual test is necessary, please state so explicitly. Thanks!

1. Run yarn task sandbox --template svelte-kit/skeleton-ts --start-from auto.
2. Make sure the log shows "Downloading sandbox template (before-storybook)" and the task completes.
3. In ../storybook-sandboxes/svelte-kit-skeleton-ts, run node -p "require('@sveltejs/kit/package.json').version". It must print 3.x.
4. Optional: in an empty directory, run NPM_CONFIG_MIN_RELEASE_AGE=7 npx --yes sv@latest --version. It must print 1.x without an age-gate error.

The ci:daily label runs the SvelteKit sandbox in CI.

Changes

SvelteKit scaffold

Layer / File(s)	Summary

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d0f2f

The template will honor npm’s configured release-age policy rather than bypassing it. The supplied evidence establishes no specific failure that should block merging.
