Document why heph's op-based sync lets most new features (new link types,
read-side queries, optional payload fields) ship without a coordinated
migration across the hub and spokes, and the narrow case — a new required
SQLite column the apply path writes — that does need a hub-first rollout.
Groundwork for the indented/counted project sidebar, which is pure read-side
(existing parent links + a GROUP BY) and needs no migration.

A new explanation doc making the task model explicit: lifecycle state
(outstanding → done/dropped) is orthogonal to attention (white/orange/red/
blue), attention only matters while outstanding, and On Deck (blue) is a live
"later" task — NOT the same as dropped ("let go", terminal). Covers delete/
tombstone (soft-delete that keeps the context doc) and a table of where each
task shows up (agenda / search / export). Cross-links design §6.2/§6.3 and
tech-spec §4.3/§7/§8.1/§12; wired into the explanation index.

Customize the generated repo (rename Dagger module to hephaestus_ci /
HephaestusCi, set docs baseUrl, add All-Rights-Reserved LICENSE, update
README/AGENTS), and add the project's foundational design documentation:
- docs/explanation/design.md — rationale + decision-history record
- docs/reference/tech-spec.md — implementation-ready technical spec
These define hephaestus as a self-hosted, client/server + offline-first
system unifying a markdown knowledge base with task management: typed node
graph, the lived priority discipline ("what is next?"), recurrence with
fresh-per-occurrence checklists, op-log/CRDT sync with conflict resolution,
OIDC/Authentik auth, the heph.nvim surface, and a TDD strategy.
