Correct release-blocking documentation inaccuracies (closes #141)

Four defects found by the integration review, each of which would have
made the README or the release notes untrue at the moment of tagging.

RETENTION_SWEEP_INTERVAL was absent from the README env table while two
other passages referred to it as documented. Enumerated every variable
read by internal/config from the source (12 in total) rather than by
eye; that was the only one missing.

TODO.md omitted five of the units landed in this milestone (#64, #79,
#90, #113, #118), two of them credential-exposure fixes, which are
precisely the entries a reader of the release notes wants to find. The
list is now derived from git log origin/main..origin/next.

The README sold Replay in the present tense as a core capability while
no redelivery code exists anywhere in the tree, and the roadmap entry
for it had been dropped without it being implemented. Every mention of
replay or redelivery in the README is now either marked planned or
already under a Planned heading: the Rationale item, the Use Cases
bullet, the Event model's field description, and the delivery-semantics
passage on target-type edits, which told an operator that a terminally
failed delivery was recoverable by hand when nothing can recover it.
The comment on failUnretryableRetry made the same claim and is
corrected with it. The roadmap entry is back in TODO.md.

The production JS asset shipped a console.log on load. The rest of the
file and every other shipped asset were checked; that was the only one
(alpine.min.js is vendored and untouched).

No behavioural change: the only non-comment, non-documentation edit is
the deleted console.log.

 `docker build .` is the CI gate — if it passes, the code is formatted,
 linted, tested, and compiled.
 
-#### CI gate honesty
-
-A layer cache lets `docker build .` exit 0 in seconds with the lint and
-test stages replayed rather than executed, which would make a green
-check meaningless. The `check` workflow therefore writes
-`.ci-fingerprint` into the build context before building. Its value is
-the hash of the last commit that touched the build context, so:
-
-- Any commit that changes code (including a squash merge whose tree
-  matches an already-built branch) gets a new fingerprint, invalidates
-  the `COPY . .` layer of both check stages, and really runs
-  `make fmt-check`, `make lint`, `make test`, and `make build`. A run
-  that reports success ran them.
-- A docs-only commit leaves the fingerprint unchanged — `.dockerignore`
-  excludes `*.md` and `LICENSE` from the context anyway — so the image
-  replays from cache and costs seconds.
-
-The module download layer sits above `COPY . .` and stays cached either
-way.
-
-The workflow's first step covers a second way the gate lied: Gitea
-cancels an in-flight run when a newer commit lands on the same branch
-and records that cancellation as a `failure` status, marking a commit
-red that was never tested. Cancellation is unconditional server-side for
-push events, so the superseding run rewrites the exact
-`Has been cancelled` status to `skipped`. Genuine failures are never
-touched.
