docs(backlog): track the six 'reads OMI, then ignores it' fixes (#238-#243)

[CryptoJones]

Adds a BACKLOG.md section mirroring issues #238–#243 from the 2026-08-14 investigation into Claude reading OMI memory and then ignoring it (hermes/pluto/makemake). Backlog and Issues stay two views of one list per the file's contract.
