Adds an opt-in "count only the first view of a topic per session" setting to the build plan in docs/TODO.md.

phpBB's own repeat-view check in viewtopic.php looks for '&t=' . $topic_id in session_page. Claude tested it on a 3.3.19 board: reloads of viewtopic.php?t=N and viewtopic.php?p=N count every time, and a view of topic 1 right after topic 12 is skipped. A maintainer said in PHPBB-16989 that counting every view is intended, so this stays off by default.

Also updates the "Waiting on phpBB" item now that PHPBB-17745 is filed and phpbb/phpbb#7092 is open.


Investigated and written by Claude on behalf of William Jacoby (bonelifer).

Add an opt-in setting to count only the first view of a topic per
session, since phpBB's own repeat-view check misses ?t=N and ?p=N links
and matches the wrong topic. Also point the waiting item at the filed
ticket (PHPBB-17745) and core pull request (phpbb/phpbb#7092).
