mind: retire 13 prompts whose work already shipped - #296

Picking a task off the dashboard and finding it already done has been a
recurring waste. This is the sweep: every prompt under `draft/` audited by
header, by fuzzy and content match against the 1104 completion records, and by
checking the claimed work against the live tree where it is locally verifiable.
Thirteen were spent. Each gets a dated record naming the evidence, with the
original prompt folded in, and its cross-references repointed.

Shipped, but the prompt never advanced:

- `delaunay-nan-probe-ell-comps-validator` — autolens_workspace_test#277
  (`995f0c9`); the shipping session set `Status: shipped` in place two days ago.
- `remove-pynufft-legacy-transformer` — PyAutoArray#475, PyAutoGalaxy#583,
  PyAutoLens#709.
- `history-policy-generated-block` — `policy/never_rewrite_history.md`,
  `repos_sync.py`'s history block and `check_history_blocks()` are all on main.
- `interferometer-delaunay-nonpd-fitexception` — one defect filed twice from
  two repos; the autoarray-targeted twin advanced, this one did not
  (PyAutoFit#1408 + autolens_workspace#311, then PyAutoArray#436).
- `unify-ai-assistant-workspace-readmes` — phase 2 shipped inside phase 1;
  `assistant-first-docs` names both workspace PRs.
- `extra-galaxies-feature-parity` — its own final-phase record already said
  "ARC COMPLETE" and named this file as parent.
- `python-312-minimum-census` — the census ran and the migration shipped in
  five phases; the prompt kept advertising the verbatim request it was
  executed from.
- `dashboardify-brain-operational-surfaces` — the write-up exists and the Brain
  board it led to has been live and iterated on since 2026-08-23.
- `profiling-agent-compile-axis-arc` + `jax-compile-time-profiling-absorbed` —
  all three children shipped 2026-08-10; both parents sat at `Priority: high`,
  top of the pick list, for two weeks.

Superseded or retired in place, then left in `draft/`:

- `multi-dataset-jax-likelihood-xla-stall` — folded into the jax-compile-stall
  epic 2026-08-23.
- `latex-docstrings-invalid-escape-warnings` — the wider successor shipped
  2026-08-20 across six repos.
- `priors-and-messages-math-audit` — fully graduated 2026-08-18; open
  C-findings stay tracked under `bug/priors/`.

Deliberately kept: partly-done trackers (`split_lensing_regimes`,
`multi_galaxy_package`, `bug/priors/z_features`, `complete_archive_wiki`),
prompts whose blocker merged but whose own work is outstanding (both
`unpark_*_scaling_relation_slam`), and follow-up prompts that share a subject
with a shipped record but not its scope (`plot_coverage_followups`,
`notebook_setup_notebook_drift_siblings`, `cti_release_train_wiring`).

Backlog 157 → 144. `lifecycle.py check`, `orphans` and `index --check` all OK.

`dashboard.md` / `dashboard.html` are regenerated, so they also pick up the
freshness banner added on the generator side (PyAutoBrain, same branch): the
last-updated date, why a self-healing render is not a fresh backlog, and a
one-tap 📋 copy of this whole reconciliation as a runnable instruction.
