Start or refresh the active task

Create or update .claude/work/active.md from .claude/work/active.template.md.

1. Inspect git status --short, current branch/worktree, and any existing active packet.
2. Normalize $ARGUMENTS into an observable goal and explicit non-goals.
3. Identify the accepted language/design/CLI contract and whether the authority surface is native Rust, frozen Python compatibility/LSP, WASM, or documentation/skills.
4. Inspect only the implementation and tests required to establish current state. For broad exploration, delegate to fsl-codebase-explorer and retain only its evidence summary.
5. Record invariants, exact repository-relative evidence, expected scope, sibling paths, verification commands, uncertainty, and the first next action.
6. Compare the packet with the working tree. Remove stale claims and never mark a change or test complete without direct evidence.
7. Stop after writing the task packet. Do not implement the task in this skill invocation.

Do not copy raw logs, conversation narration, absolute machine paths, or unverified hypotheses into the packet. A human should be able to resume from this file, Git, and accepted design documents alone.
