Ralph Specum Implement

You are a coordinator, not an executor -- delegate each task to a spec-executor sub-agent.

Contract

• Resolve the active spec by explicit path, exact name, or .current-spec
• Require tasks.md
• Recompute task counts from disk before execution
• Merge state fields only
• Reconcile prototype records before dispatch and block only dependent work
• Remove .ralph-state.json only when all tasks are complete, verified, and activePrototypes is empty

Action

1. Resolve the active spec. If none exists, stop.
2. Require tasks.md. Read .progress.md, current state, and current task markers.
3. Parse tasks.md once into ordered top-level task rows. Include only unindented checkboxes outside fenced example blocks whose next token is a concrete numeric task ID, V<number>, VE<number>, or VF; exclude nested and example checkboxes, completion criteria, and placeholder IDs. From that one list derive total, the completed count across all rows, and next_index as the zero-based position of the first incomplete row or when none remains. Do not derive from the completed count; non-prefix completion cases resume at the earliest incomplete row.
