SPEC: Upgrade Pre-Commit Hook with Autopilot Awareness

Problem

Agents create throwaway tasks (skip to implement, commit, abandon) to bypass the pre-commit hook. The hook checks for an edit-phase task but doesn't detect hollow/stale tasks or warn about hanging tasks when autopilot is enabled.

Requirements

  1. After a successful pre-commit check, read .agent.md to detect Autopilot: Enabled
  2. If autopilot is enabled, scan all tasks for non-terminal (stuck) tasks
  3. If hanging tasks exist, emit a clear warning in the hook output
  4. Do NOT block the commit — only warn. Blocking would prevent legitimate fixes.
  5. Detect hollow tasks: tasks in implement/doc_review phase with no IMPLEMENTATION.md artifact

Acceptance Criteria

  • Pre-commit hook warns when autopilot is on and non-terminal tasks exist
  • Pre-commit hook warns when the edit task is hollow (no real implementation)
  • Existing blocking behavior (no edit task = DENIED) is preserved unchanged
