docs: level-2 VERIFY completes task-shaped, not as a dated header
The old rule dated a resolved VERIFY at every depth, including the top level. A level-2 dated header carries no keyword, so todo-cleanup's --archive-done can never archive it and task-review drops it from selection. Now a top-level VERIFY closes like any other top-level task (DONE/CANCELLED + CLOSED:), and dated rewrites are reserved for level 3 and deeper. Updated the rule and the three places that encoded the old behavior: todo-format.md, respond-to-cj-comments.md, and process-inbox.org. Also repaired two pre-existing level-2 dated headers.

-description: Scan an org file for cj comments — Craig's annotations wrapped in `#+begin_src cj: ... #+end_src` source blocks — and process each via subagent-delegated accuracy. Each item is classified instruction / question / both, then dispatched to an instruction subagent (proposes a file:line patch) or a question subagent (researches with explicit scope, reports answer + evidence + confidence). Main thread reviews proposals before editing; subagents don't write to the source file. Org-mode TODO parents flip to DOING; new content lands under timestamped subheadings one level deeper; on completion, top- and second-level tasks advance to `DONE` while deeper tasks get their heading rewritten to a dated action description (no DONE keyword), becoming an in-place event log. VERIFY tasks at any depth flip to dated log entries with body replaced by the answer or action taken. Public-facing writing (commits, PRs, Slack, email, public docs) gets `/voice personal`; private writing skips it. Summary lists handled instructions, answered questions with evidence + confidence, follow-ups, unresolved items, and an explicit clean / N-remain verdict. Anything needing Craig's input becomes a `VERIFY` task in `todo.org` (top-level or first-level child of a parent task — never deeper) rather than a separate summary file. File/URL references render as clickable org-mode links. Use when an org file accumulates cj comments. Do NOT use for general code review (`/review-code`), new work without cj comments, or trivial items.
