Peter.Morton 4181ef0b57 docs: add scope summary document

Created SCOPE.md to clearly document project scope changes and
provide a single source of truth for what's in/out of scope.

Contents:
- Current scope (US1-US3 with tool lists)
- Removed scope (US4-US5 with rationale)
- Impact summary (before/after comparison)
- Implementation status table
- Next steps roadmap

Benefits:
- Clear reference for scope discussions
- Tracks removed features for potential future work
- Documents decision rationale
- Provides implementation progress snapshot

🚧 User Story 3 - Task & Property Management (P3) - PENDING

Status: Not started (0/18 tasks complete)

Planned Tools:

Vault statistics (obsidian_get_vault_info, obsidian_get_folder_info)
Navigation helpers (obsidian_list_recents, obsidian_get_outline)
Random note features (obsidian_random_note, obsidian_random_read)
System info (obsidian_get_version, obsidian_list_vaults)

❌ User Story 5 - Advanced Features (P5) - REMOVED

Reason: Power-user features; reduces complexity and maintenance burden

Removed Tools (45 total):

Daily Notes (6 tools): open_daily_note, daily_append, daily_prepend, etc.
Templates (3 tools): list_templates, read_template, insert_template
Bookmarks (5 tools): create_bookmark, list_bookmarks, bookmark_file, etc.
Plugins (6 tools): list_plugins, enable_plugin, disable_plugin, etc.
Themes (6 tools): list_themes, get_active_theme, set_theme, etc.

Bases & Commands (7 tools): list_bases, query_base, execute_command, etc.

Impact Summary

Before Removal

5 User Stories (US1-US5)
95 Total Tools
165 Total Tasks
19 Functional Requirements (FR-001 to FR-025, with gaps)

After Removal

3 User Stories (US1-US3)
20 Total Tools (20 implemented, 0 planned for US3)
98 Total Tasks (67 tasks removed, 40% reduction)
19 Functional Requirements (FR-001 to FR-019, renumbered sequentially)

Benefits

✅ Clearer MVP scope (file ops + search + tasks)
✅ Faster time to production-ready bundle
✅ Reduced testing and maintenance surface area
✅ Simpler documentation and user onboarding
✅ Focus on 80% use cases rather than comprehensive coverage

Future Expansion

If needed, US4 and US5 can be added later as separate releases:

v2.0: Add US4 (Vault Navigation) - 18 additional tasks
v3.0: Add US5 (Advanced Features) - 49 additional tasks
