Status

This is a diagnostic command for the FPF (Framework for Progressive Formalization) knowledge base system. It scans your .fpf directory structure and tells you where you are in the workflow, counting hypotheses across layers L0 through L2, checking for expired evidence files, and listing recent decision records. The phase detection is smart enough to tell you whether you're in abduction, deduction, or induction based on what's populated. Honestly, this feels essential if you're actually using FPF, since the multi-layered directory structure would be opaque otherwise. Think of it as your sanity check before deciding what to run next in the workflow.

Status Check

Display the current state of the FPF knowledge base.

Action (Run-Time)

Check Directory Structure: Verify .fpf/ exists and contains required subdirectories.
Count Hypotheses: List files in each knowledge layer:
- .fpf/knowledge/L0/ (Proposed)
- .fpf/knowledge/L1/ (Verified)
- .fpf/knowledge/L2/ (Validated)
- .fpf/knowledge/invalid/ (Rejected)
Check Evidence Freshness: Scan .fpf/evidence/ for expired evidence.
Count Decisions: List files in .fpf/decisions/.
Report to user.

Status Report Format

## FPF Status

### Directory Structure
- [x] .fpf/ exists
- [x] knowledge/L0/ exists
- [x] knowledge/L1/ exists
- [x] knowledge/L2/ exists
- [x] evidence/ exists
- [x] decisions/ exists

### Current Phase
Based on hypothesis distribution: ABDUCTION | DEDUCTION | INDUCTION | DECISION | IDLE

### Hypothesis Counts

| Layer | Count | Status |
|-------|-------|--------|
| L0 (Proposed) | 3 | Awaiting verification |
| L1 (Verified) | 2 | Awaiting validation |
| L2 (Validated) | 1 | Ready for decision |
| Invalid | 1 | Rejected |
