description	Display current progress of Draft tracks and active tasks. Shows phases, completion percentages, and blocked items.

Draft Status

Display a comprehensive overview of project progress.

Red Flags - STOP if you're:

• Reporting status without actually reading the files
• Making up progress percentages
• Skipping blocked items in the report
• Not checking each active track's actual state
• Summarizing without evidence from the files

Always read before reporting.

Gather Data

1. Read draft/tracks.md for track list
2. For each active track, read:
   • draft/tracks/<id>/metadata.json for stats. If metadata.json is malformed or unreadable, display (metadata unavailable) for that track's statistics instead of failing.
   • draft/tracks/<id>/plan.md for task status
   • draft/tracks/<id>/architecture.md for module status (if exists)
   • metadata.json:scope_includes / scope_excludes for the track's scope footprint. Surface these in the status output so reviewers can spot overlap at a glance. Conflicts are detected by scripts/tools/check-scope-conflicts.sh (see core/shared/template-contract.md).
3. Check for project-wide draft/.ai-context.md (or legacy draft/architecture.md) for module status
4. Detect orphaned tracks:
   • Scan draft/tracks/ for all directories
   • For each directory, check if it has metadata.json
   • Cross-reference with draft/tracks.md entries
   • If directory has metadata.json but NOT in tracks.md → orphaned track
   • Collect list of orphaned track IDs for warning section

Optional: report rollup & freshness signals

If parse-reports.sh and freshness-check.sh are available, gather structured signals to enrich the status output (severity counts per track, stale draft/ docs). Resolve via the canonical tool resolver (see core/shared/tool-resolver.md):

DRAFT_TOOLS="${DRAFT_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(cat ~/.cache/draft/plugin-root 2>/dev/null)}/scripts/tools"
[ -d "$DRAFT_TOOLS" ] || DRAFT_TOOLS="$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/draft/*/scripts/tools 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)"
[ -d "$DRAFT_TOOLS" ] || DRAFT_TOOLS="$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/*draft*/scripts/tools 2>/dev/null | tail -1)"
[ -d "$DRAFT_TOOLS" ] || DRAFT_TOOLS="$PWD/scripts/tools"

# Per-track report severity rollup (bughunt, review, tech-debt, etc.):
[ -x "$DRAFT_TOOLS/parse-reports.sh" ] && \
  bash "$DRAFT_TOOLS/parse-reports.sh" --root draft/

# Stale draft/ docs (sha256 drift since last index):
[ -x "$DRAFT_TOOLS/freshness-check.sh" ] && [ -f draft/.state/freshness.json ] && \
  bash "$DRAFT_TOOLS/freshness-check.sh" --state draft/.state/freshness.json

Surface non-zero severity counts inline with each track. Surface stale-doc warnings in a "STALE DOCS" section after BLOCKED ITEMS. Both signals are best-effort — skip silently if scripts or state are absent.

Output Format

Check each track's metadata.json type field to determine display format.

Standard (multi-phase) tracks

PROJECT: [from product.md title]

ACTIVE TRACKS
---
[track-id-1] Feature Name
  Status: [~] In Progress
  Phase: 2/3 (Phase 2: [Phase Name])
  Tasks: 5/12 complete
  ├─ [x] Task 1.1: Description
  ├─ [x] Task 1.2: Description
  ├─ [~] Task 2.1: Description ← CURRENT
  ├─ [ ] Task 2.2: Description
  └─ [!] Task 2.3: Blocked - [reason]

[track-id-2] Another Feature
  Status: [ ] Not Started
  Phase: 0/2
  Tasks: 0/6 complete

Quick-mode tracks (metadata.json type is "quick")

Quick-mode tracks use flat task numbering (Task 1:, Task 2:) without phases. Display them with a flat task list instead of the phase-grouped tree:

[track-id-3] Quick Feature
  Status: [~] In Progress
  Type: quick
  Tasks: 2/5 complete
  ├─ [x] Task 1: Description
  ├─ [x] Task 2: Description
  ├─ [~] Task 3: Description ← CURRENT
  ├─ [ ] Task 4: Description
  └─ [ ] Task 5: Description

Do not show Phase: X/Y for quick-mode tracks — they have no phases.

Remaining sections (shared by both formats)

MODULES (if architecture.md exists)
---
Module A [x] Complete (Coverage: 96.2%)
Module B [~] In Progress - 3/5 tasks
Module C [ ] Not Started

BLOCKED ITEMS
---
- [track-id-1] Task 2.3: [blocked reason]

ORPHANED TRACKS
---
⚠ The following tracks have metadata.json but are missing from tracks.md:
- draft/tracks/orphan-track-id/

Recovery options:
1. Add to tracks.md manually if track is valid
2. Remove orphaned track directory if no longer needed

RECENTLY COMPLETED
---
- [track-id-3] - Completed [date]

QUICK STATS
---
Active Tracks: 2
Total Tasks: 18
Completed: 5 (28%)
Blocked: 1

Module Reporting

When .ai-context.md or architecture.md exists for a track (track-level or project-level):

1. Read the .ai-context.md (or architecture.md) module definitions from ## Modules section
2. For each module, determine status from its status marker:
   • [ ] Not Started
   • [~] In Progress — count completed vs total tasks mapped to this module
   • [x] Complete — include coverage percentage if recorded
   • [!] Blocked — include reason
3. Display in the MODULES section of the track report
4. If project-wide draft/.ai-context.md (or legacy draft/architecture.md) exists, show a project-level module summary after QUICK STATS
