Daily TODO.md Stale Review

Runs daily at 08:30 Europe/Berlin (after WSJF triage at 07:20). Scans registered workstation repos for TODO.md files that have not changed in 6+ days and emits a review task per stale repo.

Policy: TODO.md is a pragmatic interruption buffer only. Stale files should be reviewed — archive done items, delete noise, or promote durable work into a workplan via ADR-001.
