docs: update TODO.md Workflow and Status for the next branching model (closes #106)

The Workflow section still told contributors to branch from `main` and
merge there. Rewrite it to the current model: branch per issue from
`next`, PR based on `next`, an independent reviewer gates it, the
manager squash-merges into `next`, and only the owner merges `next`
into `main` via the milestone PR. Update the Status paragraph so it no
longer says work is green on `main`, and record that the `1.0.0`
milestone is in progress with `next` at the canonical golangci-lint
v2.12.2 config. Docs-only; the rest of the file is left unreflowed
(that is issue 100).

 # Completed Steps
 
-- 2026-09-21 http.Server hardening (closes #92): added
-  `HTTPReadHeaderTimeout` (10s, bounds the slowloris header dribble) and
-  `HTTPIdleTimeout` (120s, bounds keep-alive reuse) alongside the
-  existing timeouts and wired them onto the server; added a `LimitBody`
-  middleware capping the two form POST bodies (`POST /`, `POST /generate`)
-  at `MaxFormBytes` (1 MiB) and returning 413, applied ahead of the CSRF
-  middleware so an oversized body is refused as 413 rather than being read
-  as a missing CSRF token (403); left `WriteTimeout` at 60s unchanged
 - 2026-08-07 update golangci-lint to v2.12.2 with the canonical
   `.golangci.yml` (v2 schema, `default: all` minus six disabled
