workflow: retire todo label — unlabelled IS the default bucket

`todo` and `feature` were semantically near-identical ("do it, no
spec needed") and the boss-pickup decision treated both the same.
Collapsing the larger one into "no label" cuts the tag-noise on
16 of 24 issues; the 3 `feature` issues retain the label as a
deliberate "substantive but no full spec" marker against the
unlabelled bucket of mechanical follow-ups.

Label `todo` deleted in Gitea (Tea removed it from the 16
issues automatically). Remaining labels: `milestone`, `feature`,
`idea`, `in-progress`.

In-tree changes:

- CLAUDE.md: Gitea-issues bullet describes the new shape —
  three semantic labels + unlabelled-default-bucket.
- skills/boss/SKILL.md: Step 1 filter-snippet and direction-
  freedom commentary updated.
- skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md: Step 7.5 tea-create template
  drops `todo` from the choice set and notes that omitting
  `--labels` is the default-bucket path.

Verification: cargo test --workspace 647/0/2, architect_sweeps
exit 0, zero residual `todo`-as-label refs in live docs.
