feat(todo-cleanup): add --convert-subtasks dated-rewrite mode
Rewrites every level-3+ DONE/CANCELLED/FAILED heading into a dated event-log entry from its CLOSED cookie, enforcing the todo-format depth rule that interactive closes and --archive-done (level-2 only) leave unapplied. A new lint-org checker (subtask-done-not-dated) flags stragglers, and the clean-todo, wrap-up, open-tasks, and task-review workflows now run the converter before archiving.
Removing the CLOSED cookie keeps a DEADLINE or SCHEDULED cookie that shares its planning line, rather than dropping the whole line.
From the .emacs.d handoff (2026-07-01 convert-subtasks bundle).

So the depth rule holds even when tasks are closed interactively rather than by an agent applying this section. + ### Why depth-based The agenda view (`org-agenda`) shows entries at the section + top-task level. Letting `**` tasks stay task-shaped preserves their visibility as "things that recently shipped." Letting `***+` sub-tasks flip to dated entries keeps the agenda from being clogged with a long list of completed sub-tasks at every depth — those become history within their parent instead. |
