Subject: [PATCH] docs: record work-order priority (Magazine, Character,
 Audiobook)

No code change. User set explicit priority for upcoming feature work:
Magazine reader roadmap first, then the character-identity system,
then audiobook speaker attribution. Recorded in TODO.md so it survives
a context reset. Deployment and the deferred multi-user initiative
stay explicitly parked, not part of this order.

+### Work order — set 2026-09-14
+
+User-set priority for picking up feature work, in this order:
+
+1. **Magazine reader roadmap** (below) — contents-view redesign is blocked on a
+   layout decision from the user; the other open items (image/chart descriptions,
+   legal source browsing) are actionable without one.
+2. **Character system** — portrait/concept-sheet identity mismatch, then
+   character-form UX polish.
+3. **Audiobook speaker attribution** — resume from Book 1 re-measurement, then
+   the never-yet-run Book 2 generalization regression.
+
+Deployment and the deferred multi-user initiative below are explicitly parked,
+not part of this order.
