jpmschweitzerandClaude aac293a053 chore: adopt pql for work tracking and modernize agent config

Migrates TODO.md into pql and removes it. Six tickets: the double-
ingestion bug with its full investigation preserved, and an epic
covering the four stub endpoints in src/main.py.

Markdown TODO lists cannot express blocking, parentage or status, and
nothing notices when they go stale. Tickets travel with the repo —
.pql/changelog/ is committed and replayed by the git hooks, while the
databases are ignored and rebuildable with `pql plan rebuild`.

Replaces the feature-branch mandate with the workspace convention:
linear history, no merge commits, work on main or a short-lived branch
that is fast-forwarded away. tatlock remains the one repo that requires
branches.

Adds a committed .claude/settings.json. `pql init` writes one containing
only allow rules, which is the wrong shape — an allowlist with no floor
under it. Every git deny appears in both `git <verb>` and `git * <verb>`
form; the second catches `git -C <path>`, and without it the git denies
would be decorative.

.gitignore gains two entries. `.claude/settings.local.json` was only
protected by a global gitignore on this machine, so the protection did
not travel with the repo. The .pql rules ignore everything except the
changelog, deliberately, since that file is what makes tickets portable.

Decisions, Questions, Rejected

This directory holds structured planning records that pql parses into pql.db. Each record is a ### [DQR]-N: Title heading inside a markdown file. Files live in three per-type subdirectories:

decisions/<domain>.md — confirmed design decisions
questions/<domain>.md — open questions that may resolve into decisions or rejected proposals
rejected/<domain>.md — rejected proposals (kept for the audit trail)

The parser infers domain from the filename stem and record type from the parent subdirectory.

D-records that propose implementation work link to initiative-type tickets via decision_ref. Run pql decisions show <id> --with-tickets to inspect implementation status.

Recommended domains

Start with this canonical set; create files as records land in each domain:

architecture — structural commitments (storage, layering, languages, libraries)
process — team workflow (commits, branches, releases, reviews)
design — user-facing surface (UX, UI, public APIs)
coding-conventions — team-internal code shape (style, lint, file layout)
testing — quality strategy (coverage, layers, gates)

You might also want, project-permitting:

accessibility — if you ship user-facing software
security — if you handle user data or network surfaces
licensing — if you release open-source or commercial
documentation — if user-docs are non-trivial
deployment — if shipping is non-trivial
performance — if you have perf budgets / SLOs
