checklist.md replaces phase-todos.json — LLM now writes markdown checklists (- [x] / - [ ]) instead of JSON todos. Human-readable, Plannotator-friendly, ~3.5x fewer tokens. File at .stelow/<date>/<hash>/checklist.md.
Plannotator auto-open during Execution — LLM runs plannotator annotate when the checklist is created. Browser shows interactive checkboxes updating in real time as tasks complete.
parseChecklist() utility — reads checklist.md and returns task counts per scope. Used by /sw-next scope completion gate as optional safety net.
execution:05 step in execution.md — checklist creation + Plannotator integration documented.

All phase-todos.json code removed. Zero backward compat, zero migration, zero dead code. PhaseTodo/PhaseTodosData types eliminated.
Extensions renamed: stelow-board/stelow-muxy → stelow across Muxy extension, Herdr plugin, package names, binary names, plugin IDs, commands, and all documentation.
todo.md rewritten — markdown checklist format, Plannotator integration, CLI instructions updated for all harnesses.
architecture.md updated — phase-todos.json → checklist.md.
Muxy panel comment fix — stale phase-todos comment corrected.

PHASE_TODOS_FILE, getPhaseTodosPath, readPhaseTodos, writePhaseTodos, getPhaseTodos, _phaseTodosCache, setPhaseTodos, getPhaseTodosFromCache, migratePhaseTodosToChecklist — all from state.ts.
PhaseTodo, PhaseTodosData types from modules/task.ts and modules/index.ts.
