Remove TODO.md; track open work in the issues (closes #76 )

TODO.md is deleted and the README TODO section now only points to the issue tracker, where open work and open design questions live from now on. AGENTS.md says so too, and says this overrides the shared policy's README todo list for this repo. The README Open Questions section becomes Original Design Questions, each noting where it now stands. Every open item in both lists was already done or already owned by an issue, apart from one, now #121, and the chunk checksum question, now on #81. Model: opus-5-5

-`mfer` builds from source with a Go 1.23+ toolchain. The generated protobuf code

-
-```sh
-git clone https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer.git
-cd mfer
-go build -o bin/mfer ./cmd/mfer
-```
-
-Generate a manifest for a directory tree, verify it later, and fetch a published
-tree by URL:
-
-```sh
-# Write .index.mf, a manifest of the files under the current directory.
-bin/mfer gen .
-
-# Verify the files on disk against the manifest. Exits nonzero if any file
-# is missing or corrupted.
-bin/mfer check .index.mf
-
-# Download and cryptographically verify a tree published over HTTP: mfer
-# fetches <url>/index.mf, then downloads every file it lists.
-bin/mfer fetch https://example.com/tree/
-```

-Run `bin/mfer help` for the full command list, or `bin/mfer <command> --help`

-# Design
-
-The repository is split into a reusable library and a thin command-line wrapper
-around it.
-
- `mfer/` is the reusable library and the heart of the project: it defines the
-  manifest format and implements building, scanning, checking, serialization,
-  and signing. The protobuf schema is `mfer/mf.proto`, and the generated code it
-  produces (`mfer/mf.pb.go`) is committed alongside it so the library builds
-  with `go get` and needs no `protoc` toolchain.
- `internal/cli/` holds the command implementations — `generate` (alias `gen`),
-  `check`, `freshen`, `export`, `list` (alias `ls`), `fetch`, and `version` —
-  that wire the library to the command-line interface.
- `internal/log/` provides the logging used by the commands and the library.
- `internal/bork/` provides the error the library returns when a manifest's
-  decompressed contents are not the size the manifest records.
- `cmd/mfer/` is the entrypoint: its `main` package runs `internal/cli` and
-  exits with the status it returns.
-
-Everything under `internal/` is private to this repository; only the `mfer/`
-package is intended for import by other software.
