What Spine Check does

description: Check the document spine — structural validity, reconciliation drift, transitive coverage (spine-format 2+), and (with --chain) neighbour-chain coverage

Check this project's document spine (`docs/spine.md`, or the `Spine path:` CLAUDE.md override). The default run has four deterministic phases: structure, drift, transitive coverage over the `requires`/`establishes` tokens (for a spine stamped `spine-format: 2` or above), and — for a spine stamped `spine-format: 3` or above
