sneak 3660173120 Remove TODO.md; track open work in the issues (closes #76)
check / check (push) Successful in 1m43s
TODO.md is deleted and the README TODO section now only points to the
issue tracker, which is where open work and open design questions live
from now on. The section heading stays because the shared repo policy
requires it. AGENTS.md points at the tracker too.

Every open item in both lists was checked against the code and the
tracker: each was either already done or already owned by an issue,
apart from one, now filed as
#121. The 14 design questions are
all on #81,
#82,
#83 and
#79.

Model: opus-5-5

# Original Design Questions
These were the open questions when the project started; open design questions
are now tracked only in the [issues](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues).
# Open Questions
- Should the manifest file include checksums of individual file chunks, or just
for the whole assembled file? If so, should the chunk size be fixed or
dynamic? Still open, on
[issue 81](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/81#issuecomment-118698).

- If so, should the chunksize be fixed or dynamic?
- Should the manifest signature format be GnuPG signatures, or those from
OpenBSD's signify (of which there is a good
[golang implementation](https://github.com/frankbraun/gosignify))? Still open,
as question 10 on [issue 82](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/82).

- Should the on-disk serialization format be proto3 or json? Settled: it is
proto3, see `FORMAT.md` and `mfer/mf.proto`.
