Basic Memory status

Report the plugin's current state for this project, then present a concise summary. This is a quick diagnostic — gather the facts and lay them out; don't over-investigate.

Gather

1. CLI reachable? Run basic-memory --version (fall back to bm --version). If neither is found, report that Basic Memory isn't installed or on PATH, and stop — nothing else will work without it.

2. Configuration. Read .claude/settings.json (and .claude/settings.local.json if present) and report:

   • From the basicMemory block: primaryProject (or note none is pinned — the default project is used), secondaryProjects (team/shared read sources), teamProjects (share targets for /basic-memory:share), captureFolder (default sessions), rememberFolder (default bm-remember), and preCompactCapture mode (default extractive).
   • From the root settings object (not basicMemory): whether outputStyle is basic-memory — i.e. whether the capture reflexes are on.

3. Recent checkpoints. search_notes with metadata_filters={"type": "session"}, page_size 5, scoped to primaryProject if one is set. List the most recent session checkpoints by title + permalink.

4. Active tasks. search_notes with metadata_filters={"type": "task", "status": "active"} — report just the count.

When scoping these queries to primaryProject, pass it as project, or as project_id if it's an external_id UUID (a bare UUID in project won't route).

Present

Lay it out like this (fill in real values; write "—" or a short note for anything you couldn't determine, rather than failing the whole report):

## Basic Memory status

- CLI:               basic-memory <version>
- Project:           <primaryProject, or "default project (not pinned)">
- Reads from (team): <secondaryProjects joined, or "none">
- Share targets:     <teamProjects keys joined, or "none">
- Capture folder:    <captureFolder>
- Remember folder:   <rememberFolder>
- Output style:      <enabled | not enabled>
- PreCompact:        <mode>
- Recent checkpoints: <n>
    - <title> — <permalink>
    ...
- Active tasks:      <n>

If there are no checkpoints yet, say "none yet" and remind the user that checkpoints are written automatically before context compaction (and that a primaryProject must be set for them to be written).
