Feature value

This feature would allow to scan over TODOs and quickly identify which ones are DONE for the period visually. The text would say DONE (using virtual text) and the highlight would match the DONE highlight.

Additional context

Repeated task currently will cycle "past" DONE back to TODO which is beneficial but it is currently hard to see if it was DONE in the current period when scanning through the file or when only the headers are visible because the rest is folded.

Research direction

Start by tracing the repeated-task TODO cycling behavior and the virtual-text and highlighting handling. Confirm that a task completed during the current period visibly shows DONE with the DONE highlight, including when headings are folded, while still cycling back to TODO after the period.
