pastilhasandClaude Fable 5 6071ded175 todo: one file per item, grouped by theme, with a generated index
TODO.md had reached 1050 lines and 72 open items across 28 sections, read mostly
on a phone. It is now a directory: todo/<theme>/<item>.md, one card per file, with
frontmatter carrying id, status, created date and order, and the prose body copied
across verbatim. TODO.md becomes a generated index (bun run todo:index).

Dates: where an item's prose stated one it is used; otherwise its old section's;
otherwise 2026-08-20, floored at the day before the split rather than invented.
date_source records which.

Shaped for a two-way Kanban board, filed as todo/tooling — a card is a file, id is
the identity, frontmatter is the machine's half and the body is the owner's.

**The cost of resuming grows with the transcript.** Raised 2026-08-21 by the owner as a challenge
worth taking rather than a limitation to live with. Every resume re-reads the whole conversation as
input tokens, so a long-lived commander costs more per note than it did in week one, for identical
work. Measurable today rather than theoretical: `command_hq_turns` already records input tokens and
USD per turn, so the curve can be plotted before anyone argues about a fix.
