Preserve local project context across compaction and todo updates

This change makes compaction summaries durable under .claude/memory,
feeds those saved memory files back into prompt context, updates /memory
to report both instruction and project-memory files, and moves TodoWrite
persistence to a human-readable .claude/todos.md file.

Constraint: Reuse existing compaction, prompt loading, and slash-command plumbing rather than add a new subsystem
Constraint: Keep persisted project state under Claude-local .claude/ paths
Rejected: Introduce a dedicated memory service module | larger diff with no clear user benefit for this task
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Project memory files are loaded as prompt context, so future format changes must preserve concise readable content
Tested: cargo fmt --all --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml
Tested: cargo clippy --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
Tested: cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --all
Not-tested: Long-term retention/cleanup policy for .claude/memory growth
