docs: retire the task queue's dead branches

Twelve completed or superseded task records leave the live queue; the byte-identical rename duplicate is removed.\n\nThe authority and somatic source records now point at SAF, while tasks 33, 48, 49, 53, 60, and 76 say what is actually left.

 ## Context
 
 The EventBus is Souveraine's nervous system. Consciousness events (Aster's N+1 surfacings, reflections, archivist syntheses, compaction warnings) now fire on the bus — but only locally. There's no bidirectional transport between machines, no device registry, no routing, and no mechanism for an agent on one machine to summon itself (or a peer) on another.

-# Task: Rename Aster references to "subconscious"
-
-Aster is Ani's personal subconscious agent name, not a framework concept. The codebase should refer to the N+1 pass and its components as `subconscious` everywhere, not `aster`. This is a mechanical rename pass — no behavior changes.

-## Files to rename
-
-### References in source (`src/`)
-
-| File | What to change | Count |
-|------|---------------|-------|
-| `src/server/consciousness_engine.rs` | Comments mentioning "Aster", `ASTER_SAFE_TOOLS`, `ASTER_MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS`, `ASTER_INTER_ROUND_DELAY_MS`, variable names `aster_tools`, `aster_from_files`, doc comment for `parse_observations` | ~25 occurrences |
-| `src/core/prompt.rs` | `build_aster_prompt` → `build_subconscious_prompt`, test `aster_prompt_from_files` → `subconscious_prompt_from_files`, test content "I Am Aster" → "I Am Subconscious" | ~6 occurrences |
-| `src/core/tools/agent.rs` | Comments: "Aster equivalent" | ~2 occurrences |
-| `src/core/tools/subagent.rs` | Comments: "Ani + Aster" | ~2 occurrences |

-| `src/core/config.rs` | Comment: "Max tokens for Aster's response" | 1 occurrence |
-| `src/core/compact/strategy.rs` | Comment referencing "Aster" | 1 occurrence |

-| `src/server/mod.rs` | Comment referencing Aster | 1 occurrence |
-
-### Configuration files
-
-| File | What to change |
-|------|---------------|
-| `souveraine.toml` | Comment `# Aster — terse, analytical...` → `# Subconscious — terse, analytical...` |
-
-### Documentation
-
-| File | What to change |
-|------|---------------|
-| `reference/Fimeg.md` | Many references — these are historical/personal context. **Keep as-is** (Aster is a real person/agent in Casey's history, not code). |
-| `docs/INDEX.md` | References to `ASTER_ARCHITECTURE.md` — keep as doc filenames if they exist. |
-| `docs/MEMORY_BLOCKS_DECISION.md` | Historical references to Aster. **Keep as-is** — they're explaining past context. |
-
-## Guidelines
-
-- **Const names**: `ASTER_SAFE_TOOLS` → `SUBCONSCIOUS_SAFE_TOOLS`, `ASTER_MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS` → `SUBCONSCIOUS_MAX_TOOL_ROUNDS`, etc.
-- **Function names**: `build_aster_prompt` → `build_subconscious_prompt`
-- **Variables**: `aster_tools` → `subconscious_tools`, `aster_from_files` → `subconscious_prompt_from_files`, `pre_aster` → `pre_subconscious`
-- **Comments/docstrings**: Replace "Aster" with "subconscious" in prose descriptions, but keep historical context in docs/ and reference/ intact
-- **Test content**: Update test assertion strings that reference "Aster"
-- **UI strings**: "Aster is listening…" → "Subconscious listening…" or similar
-- **Do NOT change**: `reference/Fimeg.md` (historical record), `docs/MEMORY_BLOCKS_DECISION.md` (historical context)

-## Verification
-
-1. `grep -rn -i 'aster' src/` should return 0 matches after rename
-2. `cargo build` — no compilation errors
-3. `cargo test` — all tests pass (including renamed test functions)
