Add TODO.md as the project backlog

TODO.md is the single human-facing list of open work (now/assets/content/polish). The memory bank keeps only current priorities and points at it, so the two cannot drift. Also corrected stale counts in progress.md (10 case studies, 46 images, 6 client sites) and replaced the stale portrait known-issue with the Urban Moto low-res hero.

+# TODO - 2RE03 Portfolio Site
+
+The one place for open work on the site. Check items off as they land, then prune
+the Done section periodically.
+
+The memory bank keeps only the current priorities and points here, so there is a
+single source of truth for what is left to do.

+Last updated: 2026-09-10.
+
+## Now (blocking launch)
+
+- [ ] Approve the copy: review the drafted company-voice text page by page.
+- [ ] Choose the deployment target: web host and domain, then publish.
+
+## Assets
+
+- [ ] Favicon (there is none yet).
+- [ ] Open Graph / social share image.
+- [ ] A real 2RE03 logo, if one exists.
+
+## Content
+
+- [ ] Refine any copy that reads wrong, page by page.
+- [ ] Populate the galleries with more or real work items.
+- [ ] Add per-image captions (they are category-level only right now).
+
+## Polish (ideas, not yet agreed)
+
+- [ ] Urban Moto case-study hero is low resolution (450px native at its widest);
+  find or shoot a better crop.
+- [ ] Consider moving `writtenearplugs.jpg` from the Urban Moto grid into the
+  Print gallery.
+- [ ] Optional redirect stubs for retired case-study slugs (`victoria.html`,
+  `cart.html`, `argent.html`).
+- [ ] Optimise images to WebP: `img/` is 20 MB of the 21 MB repo.
+- [ ] Confirm the Forgejo repo (`2RE03-Design`) is private.
+- [ ] Decide whether `memory-bank/` and `.clinerules/` stay tracked (they are
+  internal docs, not site content, and would be uploaded on a full-folder deploy).
+
+## Done
+
+- [x] Site built: 6 root pages + 10 case studies, green `#2ee666` theme,
+  scroll-snap carousels, Web3Forms contact form.
+- [x] First commit pushed to Forgejo (`2RE03-Design`, branch `main`).
+- [x] Temporary `refrence/` folder and four unused images removed.
