docs: Gemini consultation - Task management architectural review
Created comprehensive consultation document for Gemini AI partnership.
WHAT:

CONSULTATION QUESTIONS:
1. Is there a better solution we're missing?
2. SaaS vs Custom - what would you recommend?
3. If custom, what's simplest implementation?
4. Discord integration depth (notifications vs bot commands vs full UI)
5. Migration path (start simple, upgrade later?)
6. RV life considerations (cellular, async, mobile-first)
