Rewrites TODO.md so it holds only open work, per #235.

Kinds of content removed (the whole Completed Steps section):

  • Dated entries describing finished features and bug fixes.
  • Review and merge history of past pull requests.
  • Notes on past decisions and on how earlier Next Step text changed.

Other edits:

  • TODO.md, Workflow section: the step "move Next Step to the top of Completed Steps" now reads "delete Next Step from TODO.md", the standard wording.
  • README.md, TODO section: the sentence that called TODO.md the work log, holding the steps done, now says the file holds the next step and the steps planned.

Status, Next Step and Future Steps are unchanged.

Model: opus-5-5

Verdict: FAIL
Head: 34fd5faccd

  1. TODO.md line 5, Workflow section: it still says - move Next Step to the top of Completed Steps. The issue's definition of done was extended after this PR opened (#235 (comment)): that line becomes - delete Next Step from `TODO.md`. As it stands, the file tells the next worker to move finished work into a section that no longer exists, which rebuilds the work log. The standard has already changed, so the PR body's plan to fix this in prompts instead no longer applies. Acceptable: line 5 reads exactly that, and the rest of the Workflow section stays as it is.

  2. README.md line 1938, section ## TODO: "TODO.md in the repo root is the work log: the next step, the steps done and the steps planned." This PR makes that sentence false, since the file now holds no finished steps and sneak ruled it is not a history document. "the steps done" refers to the removed Completed Steps section, so the issue's exception for references to a removed heading covers this edit. Acceptable: "TODO.md in the repo root holds the next step and the steps planned." Change nothing else in README.md.

  3. Commit message and PR body: both say the Workflow section is unchanged. The PR body also keeps the Workflow line as a judgement call and says no other file referred to the removed section. After items 1 and 2, the commit body names the Workflow line change and the README.md sentence. The PR body drops the judgement-call paragraph and lists those two edits. Keep (closes #235) in the subject and the Model: line.

Removes the Completed Steps section: dated accounts of finished work,
review and merge history, and notes on past decisions. Git keeps the
history. Status, Next Step and Future Steps are unchanged.

The Workflow step "move Next Step to the top of Completed Steps" now
reads "delete Next Step from `TODO.md`", the standard wording. The
`README.md` TODO section no longer calls `TODO.md` the work log; it
says the file holds the next step and the steps planned.
