Command Behavior

When user runs this command:

1. Resolve Increment

const incrementId = args.incrementId || await findActiveIncrement();

const metadata = JSON.parse(await fs.readFile(
  `.specweave/increments/${incrementId}/metadata.json`, 'utf-8'
));

const issueNumber = metadata?.external_sync?.github?.issue;
if (!issueNumber) {
  console.log(`Not linked to GitHub. Run: /sw-github:create ${incrementId}`);
  return;
}

2. Fetch and Compare

Use Task tool with subagent_type: "specweave-github:github-manager:AGENT"

Prompt: "Pull changes from GitHub for increment {increment-id}.

Issue: #{issueNumber}

Steps:
1. Fetch issue #{issueNumber} via gh api
2. Compare GitHub state vs local status
3. Apply conflict resolution (external wins for status)
4. Import new comments to increment notes
5. Update labels/assignees in metadata
6. Display what changed"
