The rules section now says where new work goes: an issue on the forge, with the
file and line, the functional consequence, and what closing it would touch,
carrying status::grooming until its scope is settled. TODO.md is the record of
decisions and measurements, and adding outstanding items back to it is what the
split exists to prevent -- a description of work still to do goes stale the
moment somebody does it.
Two rules go with it. Say what you learn about an open issue in the issue,
because an issue nobody has re-checked is worth what an unverified comment is
worth. And file a dependency's defect against that dependency rather than
working around it here.
The 'do not trust a comment, a TODO entry, or a CI exclusion' lesson keeps its
evidence and gains the three entries found stale during the migration.

TODO.md carried two records in one file: what had been done, with the
measurements behind it, and what was left. The second half is what a tracker
is for, and keeping it here has already cost something -- AGENTS.md records a
round where eleven entries described code that had already changed, and this
file admitted to three more.
Every open item is now an issue on source.starfort.tech/andrew/libakgl,
labelled by kind and blast radius and milestoned by what it can land in: 0.9.x
for anything that breaks no ABI, 0.10.0 for new or changed public symbols,
1.0.0 for the design work. Four are epics: the performance plan (#60),
coverage (#61), actor rotation (#62), and the false header comments (#63).
Verified against the tree before filing rather than transcribed. Three entries
were already fixed and were not filed: the akgl_path_relative context leak, the
akgl_draw_background test extension, and the SDL enumeration audit -- keyboards,
gamepads and mappings are all freed in CLEANUP today. Two were reworded because
the code had moved: the fonts item is a missing teardown entry point rather than
a missing API, since akgl_text_unloadallfonts exists, and draw_world's tilemap
call is already bounded by numlayers, so only the per-layer actor rescan remains.
TODO.md keeps the part a tracker has no place for: why a decision went the way
it did, what the measurement was, and which arguments turned out to be wrong.
TODO.txt is deleted. Four of its eight entries had shipped -- actor-to-actor
collision, actor-to-world collision, automatic facing, image layers -- and the
four that had not are #74 through #77, with the GPU renderer's research links
kept because that is the part that took the time.
Every reference that named an item number or a moved section is repointed, in
the manual, the headers, the tests and the examples.
