Bug: speckit.specify Sometimes Resets New Branch Name Back to 001 [already reported] #1468
Description
When running /speckit.specify, the tool normally creates a new numbered branch (e.g., 002-[story], 003-[another story], etc.).
However, in some cases, the branch number unexpectedly resets back to 001, even though a 001 branch already exists in the repository. This results in conflicts and manual cleanup.
This behavior seems intermittent.
Expected Behavior
speckit.specify should:
- Detect the highest existing numbered branch
- Create the next sequential branch (e.g., from 003 → 004)
- Never reuse an existing number
Actual Behavior
Branch generation occasionally resets to 001-[story]
This causes:
- naming collisions
