Tom Boucher 78b9b04f1d fix(#2133 ): correct fast.md log_to_state column-count gate (NF-2)

The guard used `awk -F'|' '{print NF-1}'` but a markdown header has a leading
and trailing pipe, so NF counts (real columns + 2); NF-1 is always one too
high. The `-eq 5` test was therefore unsatisfiable for the very 5-column
header quick.md writes, so /gsd-fast has never appended a Quick Task row since
PR #85 (regression closing #27).

- Count real columns with NF-2 (5 for the 5-col header, 6 for the 6-col).
- Accept 5 OR 6 columns (quick.md Step 7b writes both shapes).
- Select the appended row template by the detected count so its cell count
  always matches the header — keeps #27 fixed for the validate-mode table.

Closes #2133

Execute a trivial task inline without subagent overhead. No PLAN.md, no Task spawning, no research, no plan checking. Just: understand → do → commit → log.

For tasks like: fix a typo, update a config value, add a missing import, rename a variable, commit uncommitted work, add a .gitignore entry, bump a version number.

Use /gsd:quick for anything that needs multi-step planning or research.

Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for the task description.

If empty, ask:

What's the quick fix? (one sentence)

Store as $TASK.

**Before doing anything, verify this is actually trivial.**

A task is trivial if it can be completed in:

≤ 3 file edits
≤ 1 minute of work
No new dependencies or architecture changes
No research needed

If the task seems non-trivial (multi-file refactor, new feature, needs research), say:

This looks like it needs planning. Use /gsd:quick instead:
  /gsd:quick "{task description}"

And stop.

Do the work directly:

Read the relevant file(s)
Make the change(s)
Verify the change works (run existing tests if applicable, or do a quick sanity check)

No PLAN.md. Just do it.

Commit the change atomically:

git add -A
git commit -m "fix: {concise description of what changed}"

Use conventional commit format: fix:, feat:, docs:, chore:, refactor: as appropriate.

If `.planning/STATE.md` exists and has a "Quick Tasks Completed" table, append a row that matches the existing table's schema. If no table exists, skip silently. If the table's schema is unrecognized, skip with a brief log rather than append a malformed row.

# Detect whether STATE.md has a Quick Tasks Completed table
if grep -q "Quick Tasks Completed" .planning/STATE.md 2>/dev/null; then
  # Read the table header line to determine the column schema.
  # quick.md Step 7b writes two shapes:
  #   5-column (non-validate): | # | Description | Date | Commit | Directory |
  #   6-column (validate):     | # | Description | Date | Commit | Status | Directory |
  HEADER_LINE=$(grep -A2 "Quick Tasks Completed" .planning/STATE.md 2>/dev/null | grep "^|" | head -1)
  # Count REAL columns: a markdown header has a leading and a trailing pipe, so
  # awk's NF counts (real columns + 2). NF-2 yields the real column count.
  # (NF-1 was the off-by-one root cause of #2133: it returned the pipe count,
  #  making the `-eq 5` test unsatisfiable for the very header quick.md writes.)
  COL_COUNT=$(echo "$HEADER_LINE" | awk -F'|' '{print NF-2}')

  # Next row number + latest commit hash are schema-independent.
  NEXT_NUM=$(awk '/Quick Tasks Completed/{found=1} found && /^\|/ && !/^[|][-: |]*[|]$/ && !/Description/{count++} END{print count+1}' .planning/STATE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "1")
  COMMIT_HASH=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "—")

  # Select the appended row's template by the detected column count so its cell
  # count always matches the header (prevents the malformed-row symptom of #27).
  if [ "$COL_COUNT" -eq 5 ] && echo "$HEADER_LINE" | grep -qi "Description" && echo "$HEADER_LINE" | grep -qi "Commit" && echo "$HEADER_LINE" | grep -qi "Directory"; then
    # 5-column schema from quick.md Step 7b (non-validate).
    echo "| $NEXT_NUM | $TASK | $(date +%Y-%m-%d) | $COMMIT_HASH | — |" >> .planning/STATE.md
  elif [ "$COL_COUNT" -eq 6 ] && echo "$HEADER_LINE" | grep -qi "Status" && echo "$HEADER_LINE" | grep -qi "Directory"; then
    # 6-column schema from quick.md Step 7b (validate, with Status).
    echo "| $NEXT_NUM | $TASK | $(date +%Y-%m-%d) | $COMMIT_HASH | — | — |" >> .planning/STATE.md
  else
    # Unrecognized table schema — skip to avoid appending a malformed row (#27).
    echo "⚠ fast.md log_to_state: Quick Tasks Completed table has unrecognized schema (${COL_COUNT} columns); skipping STATE.md update."

Report completion:

✅ Done: {what was changed}
   Commit: {short hash}
   Files: {list of changed files}

No next-step suggestions. No workflow routing. Just done.

- NEVER spawn a Task/subagent — this runs inline - NEVER create PLAN.md or SUMMARY.md files - NEVER run research or plan-checking - If the task takes more than 3 file edits, STOP and redirect to /gsd:quick - If you're unsure how to implement it, STOP and redirect to /gsd:quick

<success_criteria>
