Reanchor
Verify a session's working assumptions are still true before building on them — referenced PRs/issues/branches still in the state a handoff or plan claims, base-branch drift, cited skills/plugins that were renamed or version-drifted, and memory-tier files whose subjects have since landed. Reports what drifted and re-anchors; does not resume the work. Use when: 'reanchor', 're-anchor', 'is this still current', 'verify my assumptions', 'has main moved since', 'are these premises still valid', 'is the handoff stale', 'resuming an old plan', 'check freshness'. Not for resuming work (use /session-flow:keep-going), the cross-worktree staleness inventory, PR feedback triage, or re-anchoring a standing behavioral rule (this re-anchors factual premises, not rules).
