backfill-feature - characterize existing code before changing it
When you reach to modify code that has no ADR or spec, you're working
blind: you don't know what the original author intended, what
constraints were considered, or what behaviour the rest of the system
depends on. /backfill-feature builds that picture before the
change, so the change lands on solid ground.
It writes three things in order:
- A reverse-engineered ADR ("here's what's true today, here's why I think it ended up this way, here's what's load-bearing").
- A Gherkin spec capturing current behaviour.
- Characterization tests that lock current behaviour green.
After backfill, /plan-change runs to layer the actual change on top
of the (now-documented, now-tested) baseline.
