Reconstruct where an issue's work stands after time away, and name the one command that moves it forward. Read-only: gather the state and report it, change nothing.

Locate

Resolve the issue from the argument, else the current branch, else the issue under discussion. Look for its workspace per references/issue-workspace.md and read PLAN.md and CONTEXT.md when present. With no saved plan, reconstruct progress from the issue and Git.

Reconstruct

Read the trail the pipeline leaves, across three places:

Plan, when present — PLAN.md's status, acceptance criteria, and which tasks are checked versus open. CONTEXT.md for the decisions behind them.
Git — the current branch, the commits already on it, and any uncommitted changes (git status, git diff).
Tracker — the issue's title, requirements, state, and whether a change request is already open, per references/issue-tracker.md.

Without a plan, compare the branch's changes with the issue's requirements. Distinguish implemented behavior from verified behavior; commits alone do not prove completion.
