**Error**: `Extension requires spec-kit >=0.2.0`

- **Fix**: Update spec-kit with `uv tool install specify-cli --force`
- **Fix**: Update spec-kit with `uv tool install specify-cli --force --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git`. The bare `specify-cli` package on PyPI is a different, unrelated project — installing it without `--from git+...` will give you a stub CLI that does not include `extension`, `preset`, or other spec-kit commands.

**Error**: `Command file not found`
