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.

+# MarkiTect Todofile System
+
+## Overview
+
+MarkiTect uses the **Keep a Todofile V0.0.1** format for task management and development coordination. This replaces the previous NEXT.md approach with a standardized todofile system that provides better structure for maintaining coding flow and AI assistant coordination.
+
+## Location and Format
+
+- **Main Todofile**: `TODO.md` in the project root
+- **Format**: [Keep a Todofile V0.0.1](https://coulomb.social/open/KeepaTodofile)
+- **Agent Support**: Managed by the `agent-keepaTodofile` agent in the kaizen-agentic framework
+
+## Structure
+
+The todofile is organized by **impact type** rather than arbitrary priority:
+
+### [Unreleased] - Active Vibe-Coding State 💡
+- **To Add**: New features, capabilities, or functionality
+- **To Refactor**: Code improvements and restructuring
+- **To Fix**: Bug fixes and error corrections
+- **To Remove**: Features or code to eliminate
+
+### [Version] - Planned Increments
+Organized by planned version/milestone with the same impact categories:
+- **To Add**: Planned new functionality
+- **To Fix**: Scheduled bug fixes
+- **To Refactor**: Planned code improvements
+- **To Deprecate**: Features marked for future removal
+- **To Secure**: Security improvements
+- **To Remove**: Planned removals
+
+## Integration with Project Workflow
+
+### Task Management
+- Use `TODO.md` for active development tasks and immediate next steps
+- Link to Gitea issues for longer-term planning: `Related to issue #123`
+- Update during development sessions to maintain context
+
+### AI Assistant Coordination
+- The todofile serves as a **shared source of truth** between human developers and AI assistants
+- Helps maintain context during interruptions and session transfers
+- Enables consistent progress tracking and decision-making
+
+### Development Best Practices
+1. **Update Regularly**: Maintain current state during active development
+2. **Focus on Immediate**: Keep [Unreleased] section for current work
+3. **Plan Versions**: Use version sections for commit boundaries
+4. **Archive Completed**: Move completed items to archive sections
+5. **Link Issues**: Connect todofile items to Gitea issues for full context
+
+## Agent Integration
+
+The `agent-keepaTodofile` agent provides specialized support for:
+- Creating and maintaining TODO.md files following the official format
+- Organizing tasks by impact type (Add, Fix, Refactor, etc.)
+- Integrating with issue tracking and TDD workflows
+- Maintaining coding flow and context preservation
+- Converting between task management formats
+
+## Migration from NEXT.md
+
+The previous NEXT.md file has been archived to `history/NEXT_archived_YYYYMMDD.md`. All relevant content has been migrated to the new TODO.md format while preserving:
+- Strategic development priorities
+- Capability management workflows
+- Session success criteria
+- Development milestones
+
+## Related Documentation
+
+- **Agent Definition**: `agents/agent-keepaTodofile.md` - Specialized todofile management agent
+- **Context Documentation**: `capabilities/kaizen-agentic/context/KeepaTodofile.md` - Detailed format specification
+- **Capability Integration**: `CAPABILITY_INCLUSION_GUIDE.md` - How todofile fits with capability discovery
+- **Project Management**: `agents/agent-project-management.md` - Overall project coordination
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Standardized Format**: Follows established Keep a Todofile conventions
+2. **Better Organization**: Impact-based categorization aligns with changelog structure
+3. **AI Assistant Ready**: Designed for human-AI collaboration in coding sessions
+4. **Context Preservation**: Maintains coding flow across interruptions
+5. **Integration Ready**: Works with existing issue management and TDD workflows
