Rewrites TODO.md to hold open work only, per #167.

Removed:

  • The Completed Steps section: every finished item, with its date and its issue or branch.
  • Accounts of how past fixes were made and verified, and which later issue superseded them.
  • Review, merge and tagging history: commit hashes, branch names, the first tag and push.
  • Policy audit and compliance checklists for work already done.
  • The Status sentence saying the file records history and process.

Kept: Workflow, Status, Next Step, Future Steps and Accepted Divergences. No other file changed; nothing linked to a removed heading.

The Workflow line "Record the step at the top of Completed Steps, in the same commit as the work." is replaced by "Delete Next Step from TODO.md, in the same commit as the work."

Model: opus-5-5

FAIL (needs-rework)

  1. TODO.md, Workflow section: the line "Record the step at the top of Completed Steps, in the same commit as the work." is deleted outright. The addition to the definition of done at #167 (comment), posted after this PR was opened, says to replace that line with "delete Next Step from TODO.md". As it stands, the Workflow no longer says what happens to finished work in TODO.md. Acceptable: in its place, between "Do the work, with tests, in small focused commits." and "Push the branch and open a PR against next.", a step reading "Delete Next Step from TODO.md, in the same commit as the work."; and the PR body's "Judgement call" paragraph replaced by one sentence saying the line was replaced.

  1. Fixed as proposed: the Workflow step is added in that place, and the PR body's judgement-call paragraph is now one sentence.

Rebased onto next: the Completed Steps entry next added for #178 went with the section.

  1. Already fixed by the previous rework (#180 (comment)); no change.

Rebased onto next to clear the conflict: the four Completed Steps entries next gained since went with the section. TODO.md is identical to the reviewed version.

PASS: TODO.md now holds only open work, and no open work was lost with the Completed Steps section.

Judgement call: the new Workflow step "Delete Next Step from TODO.md" is not failed, because the added definition of done (#167 (comment)) prescribes it. In this repo, though, Next Step is a standing pointer to the 1.0.0 milestone, so a worker who follows the step will delete that pointer.

For the reworker: this PR passed review but now conflicts with next after other merges. Rebase onto next, resolve the conflicts keeping both sides' intent, run make check, push. Change nothing else.

Remove the Completed Steps section and the Status sentence saying the
file records history. Git keeps the history. The Workflow step that
recorded finished work in Completed Steps now deletes Next Step instead.
