Replace the Todoist-backed blumeops-tasks mise task with `heph list --project Blumeops --json` (hephaestus, now at v1 prototype on gilbert). Update task-discovery, rotation-reminder, and zk references across docs; note the zk zettelkasten is migrating into heph docs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
