Trim redundant documentation while preserving actionable instructions.
-173 lines of prose that restated what templates already show.
Kept: size constraints, mandatory fields, security guidance.
Removed: "when to create/read/update" lifecycle prose, section
descriptions that duplicate template structure.

Remove the global ISSUES.md deferred enhancement tracking system.
- Delete /gsd:consider-issues command (never used)
- Delete issues.md template (never instantiated)
- Remove Rule 5 from deviation rules (never triggered)
- Remove all ISSUES.md, ISS-XXX, and "deferred issues" references
- Update STATE.md to track pending todos instead
The ISSUES.md system was designed to capture non-critical enhancements
during plan execution via "Rule 5", but it never fired in practice
across 100+ projects. The system added ~350 lines of dead code.
The /gsd:add-todo and /gsd:check-todos system serves the same purpose
and is actually used.
Note: UAT *-ISSUES.md files (per-plan, created by /gsd:verify-work)
are unaffected - those are a separate, active system.
Closes#56

Adds /gsd:add-todo and /gsd:check-todos commands for capturing
ideas during work sessions without losing context.
Features:
- Capture todos from conversation context or explicit description
- Structured frontmatter (created, title, area, files)
- Area inference from file paths for grouping
- Duplicate detection before creating
- Filter todos by area
- Route to appropriate action (work now, add to phase, brainstorm)
- Git commits on capture and when starting work

PROJECT.md evolves throughout project lifecycle:
- Requirements have states: Validated, Active, Out of Scope
- Decisions track outcomes: Good, Revisit, Pending
- Phase transitions update requirements and log decisions
- Milestone completions trigger full PROJECT.md review
STATE.md now references PROJECT.md (not a copy):
- Claude reads PROJECT.md directly for full context
- Smaller STATE.md footprint (~100 lines)
- Project Reference section with core value and focus
Brownfield projects infer Validated requirements from existing code.
