feat: replace bookmark-based progression with date-based daily verses - Remove bookmark persistence system and TOML dependency - Delete `internal/bookmark.go` and all bookmark manager logic - Remove `github.com/pelletier/go-toml/v2` from `go.mod` - Delete `test/bookmark.toml` and `invalid_bookmark.toml` - Add date-based progression (`internal/dateprogression.go`) - Calculate reading position from day of year (12 verses per day) - Wrap yearly through all four Gospels (3779 total verses) - Apply lookahead rule when fewer than 12 verses remain in chapter - Update `cmd/bibel.go` to use `DateProgression` instead of `BookmarkManager` - Display today's verses without reading or writing any bookmark file - Support test dates via `GOOSE_TEST_DATE` environment variable - Revise `README.md` to document date-based algorithm and usage - Add `CHANGELOG.md` with version 1.0.0 and complete migration notes - Clean up `.gitignore` (remove editor/IDE and old_code.ml entries) - Keep `old_code.ml` as reference for original OCaml implementation

# `bibel` - Bible Verse CLI Utility -A Go reimplementation of an OCaml utility for displaying Bible verses.
