tegwick c5f49b2dd0 feat: implement todofile system and retire NEXT.md
Replace NEXT.md approach with standardized Keep a Todofile V0.0.1 format
for better task management and human-AI collaboration during coding sessions.

## Todofile System Setup:
- **TODO.md**: Main todofile following Keep a Todofile V0.0.1 format
- **TODOFILE_GUIDE.md**: Comprehensive system documentation and workflow
- **Integration**: Fully integrated with existing kaizen-agentic framework
- **Agent Support**: Uses agent-keepaTodofile for maintenance

## Content Migration:
- Migrated strategic priorities from NEXT.md to TODO.md [Unreleased] section
- Preserved session success criteria and development milestones
- Organized tasks by impact type (To Add, To Fix, To Refactor)
- Archived NEXT.md to history/NEXT_archived_20251025.md

## Documentation Updates:
- README.md: Updated "Next Actions" → "Current Tasks" link
- agent-project-management.md: Updated workflow to use TODO.md
- docs/README.md: Updated project management references
- Added comprehensive TODOFILE_GUIDE.md

## Benefits:
- **Standardized Format**: Industry-standard Keep a Todofile format
- **Better Organization**: Impact-based task categorization
- **AI-Ready**: Designed for human-AI collaboration workflows
- **Context Preservation**: Maintains coding flow across session interruptions
- **Integration Ready**: Works with existing agent and capability systems

Active tasks now in TODO.md [Unreleased] section focusing on strategic
issue resolution and capability management validation.

Key Concepts

Core Architecture Principles

  1. Parse Once, Use Many Times - AST caching for 60-85% performance improvement
  2. Convention Over Configuration - Sensible defaults with minimal setup
  3. Schema-Driven Processing - Structured markdown with validation
  4. Relational Metadata - Database-powered document relationships

Performance Philosophy

MarkiTect treats markdown documents as structured, queryable data rather than plain text. This approach enables:

  • Lightning-fast document processing through intelligent caching
  • Complex querying and relationship management
  • Schema validation and consistency enforcement
  • Scalable performance that grows with your content

Contributing to Documentation

Documentation follows the same quality standards as code:

  1. Clear Structure - Logical organization and navigation
  2. Practical Examples - Real-world usage patterns
  3. Performance Context - Why architectural decisions matter
  4. User-Focused - Written for the intended audience

Documentation Standards

  • Use clear, concise language
  • Include practical examples
  • Explain the "why" behind design decisions
  • Keep technical accuracy as the highest priority
  • Update docs when changing functionality

This documentation is maintained alongside the codebase. For the most current information, always refer to the latest version in the repository.
