docs: capture deferred home-page features in todo.md

Two things lifted off /pulse in the follow-up pass need somewhere to live
so they aren't forgotten:

- The 'Recently from the council' feed (RecentlyFromTheCouncil reading
  from the contributions table). Component and underlying table stay in
  place; only the /pulse embed is gone. Records the options for re-
  introducing it: inline in the Latest-from-Fenja card, a dedicated
  Voices section further down, or stop surfacing on the home page.

- 'This week's pulse' voting card. pulses/votes schema + admin Pulses tab
  stay. Records the merge-into-dispatches idea — fold poll-shaped
  dispatches into the Latest from Fenja stream rather than rebuilding a
  parallel block.

# Todo
Deferred from the Phase 2 home-page simplification (commits after `ed2c272`).
## Recently from the council (the feed)
Removed from `/pulse` in this pass. Currently no surface for member-authored
contributions on the home page.
The underlying `contributions` table, the `RecentlyFromTheCouncil` component,
and the existing `/contribute` page all remain in place — only the home-page
embed is gone.
When we revisit this, options to consider:
- Inline a compact "What members are saying" row inside the
Roadmap + Latest from Fenja card — single quote, smallest possible
treatment, doesn't repeat dispatch real-estate.
- A dedicated Voices / Council notes section much further down the page
with a stronger editorial frame.
- Surface contributions only on the dedicated /contribute page (already
exists) and rely on dispatches as the primary "what's moving" signal.
## This week's pulse voting block
Removed from `/pulse` in this pass. The `pulses`, `votes`, vote-uniqueness
constraint, admin Pulses tab, and the activity `voted` kind all remain — only
the on-page voting card is gone.
**Idea worth trying:** rather than rebuild as its own block, fold polling
into the "Latest from Fenja" stream. A dispatch can be tagged as a poll
(one of the existing kinds, or a new `poll` kind) and rendered inline with
the 24 vote options + locked state + result bars. Single editorial channel
instead of two competing "what should I read first" surfaces on the home page.
If we go that way:
- Schema: extend `dispatches` with a nullable `pulse_id` foreign key (or
embed options on the dispatch directly).
- Render: when a dispatch is poll-shaped, its excerpt block becomes the
Pulse question + options; the "Read the full dispatch" affordance can
stay for context/comments.
- Admin: a checkbox on the dispatch form ("Attach an active poll") +
inline options inputs. No need for the standalone Pulses tab once this
lands — fold it in.
