+3.  **[~] Implement Onboarding and Invitation Flows**:
     - Build the `Welcome.vue` view for creating the first household.
     - Build the `CreateAccount.vue` view.
     - Build the "Accept Invitation" page (`/invitations/accept?token=...`). It should take the token from the URL, call the API, and redirect on success.
-  - Status: Placeholder views created for all three; logic pending. Household creation endpoint available.
+  - Status: Welcome page now implements create-household flow using `POST /api/v1/households` and redirects to `/:slug/mealplan`. Create Account and Invitation Accept remain TODO.
 
 4.  **[~] Integrate Household Context into the App**:
     - **Create `src/composables/useHousehold.ts`**: Implemented. Extracts `householdSlug` from route and binds provider to API client.
