Sync

Synchronize Cortex TMS task files and documentation.

Steps

Read current state — check NEXT-TASKS.md, FUTURE-ENHANCEMENTS.md, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, package.json
Update NEXT-TASKS.md — mark completed items, remove stale tasks, add new items if discussed
Update FUTURE-ENHANCEMENTS.md — sync status markers (Planned/In Progress/Complete)
Truth-sync source-of-truth files — ensure README, CHANGELOG reflect what actually shipped
Archive if needed — move completed sprint content to docs/archive/
Run validation — node bin/cortex-tms.js validate --strict to confirm health
Show changes — run git diff and present for approval. Do not commit without approval.
