./specs .current-speclives in the default specs root- Hidden directories do not count as specs
Action
- Resolve configured roots.

.current-specto identify the active spec.- If
.current-specis missing or empty, report that there is no active spec and continue listing specs across roots.
- If
- Read
specs/.current-epicwhen present and summarize epic status. - For each spec directory, inspect:
.ralph-state.jsonresearch.mdrequirements.mddesign.mdtasks.md
- If
tasks.mdexists, count completed and incomplete tasks. - Group results by spec root.
- Show the active spec, current phase, backlog state, approval state, granularity when present, and which artifacts exist.
Output
- Specs in the default root can be shown by name.
- Specs in other roots should include the root suffix for disambiguation.

- If an epic is active, include the next unblocked spec.
- If approval is pending, explicitly tell the user to approve the current artifact, request changes, or continue to the named next step.
