Record the gomodguard_v2 migration in TODO.md (closes #57)

Adds the Completed Steps entry for re-vendoring the canonical
.golangci.yml, which switches off the deprecated gomodguard and runs
gomodguard_v2 and depguard in its place.

 # Completed Steps
 
-- 2026-10-04 `TODO.md` merges with git's union merge (closes #190): a root
+- 2026-10-04 `.golangci.yml` re-vendored from the canonical copy (closes #57):
-  `.gitattributes`, copied from `sneak/prompts`, marks it `merge=union`, so two
+  the deprecated `gomodguard` is switched off, so lint runs print no
-  branches that each add an entry at the top of Completed Steps merge without a
+  deprecation warning; its successor `gomodguard_v2` runs with the shared
-  conflict and keep both entries. Git now never reports a conflict in
+  module block list, and `depguard` keeps `net/http/httptest` out of files that
-  `TODO.md`: a real one keeps both versions of the lines, and two entries that
+  are not tests. The tree needed no code changes.
-  share an identical line can end up one inside the other, which a rebase can
-  do to an entry already on `next`. The Workflow above says to read the merged
-  entries after every merge or rebase.
-- 2026-10-04 `TestEvictionRunsOnPeriodicSchedule` no longer races the evictor
-  (closes #183): it wrote each variant file and then inserted its accounting row
-  by hand, and a reconciliation pass between the two adopted the file first, so
-  the insert failed. It now writes the files only, while holding the test
-  database's only connection so the evictor's startup pass waits after walking
-  the empty variant directory; a periodic reconciliation pass then adopts the
-  files and the eviction pass after it evicts them. No other test in
-  `internal/imgcache` inserts a row by hand after starting the evictor. Test
-  only.
