236bcb3987 docs: Add existing project initialization to getting started
Add commands for initializing Spec Kit in existing projects directly
in the installation section. Shows both `specify init .` and
`specify init --here` options to make brownfield usage immediately
discoverable.

b4e1c07817 fix(scripts): prevent octal interpretation in feature number parsing
When --number 027 was passed, printf '%03d' interpreted it as octal,
converting 027 (octal) to 23 (decimal). Now forces base-10 with 10# prefix.

Bug: User passes --number 027, gets feature 023 instead of 027
Root cause: printf %03d treats leading zeros as octal notation
Fix: Use $((10#$BRANCH_NUMBER)) to force decimal interpretation

Example:
- Before: --number 027 → octal 027 → decimal 23 → feature 023
- After: --number 027 → decimal 27 → feature 027

Note: PowerShell version does not have this bug because [int] type
conversion in PowerShell does not treat leading zeros as octal.

f65bf6ccb7 fix: remove unused short_name parameter from branch numbering functions
The check_existing_branches (bash) and Get-NextBranchNumber (PowerShell)
functions no longer use the short_name parameter since they now find the
global maximum across ALL features. This commit:

1. Removes the unused parameter from function signatures
2. Updates all call sites to not pass the parameter

This prevents the scripts from failing when the function is called with
the wrong number of arguments.

33df8976ca fix: use global maximum for branch numbering to prevent collisions
The check_existing_branches (bash) and Get-NextBranchNumber (PowerShell)
functions were only looking for branches/specs matching the SAME short name
when determining the next feature number. This caused collisions where
multiple features could be assigned the same number if they had different
short names.

For example, if feature 023-ci-optimization existed, creating a new feature
with a different short name would incorrectly use 001 instead of 024.

This fix changes both functions to:
1. Use get_highest_from_branches() / Get-HighestNumberFromBranches to find
   the highest number across ALL branches globally
2. Use get_highest_from_specs() / Get-HighestNumberFromSpecs to find the
   highest number across ALL spec directories globally
3. Return the maximum of both + 1

The helper functions already existed but were not being used. This fix
properly utilizes them to ensure features are numbered sequentially
regardless of their short names.

Issue: Branch number collisions when creating features with different names
Impact: Prevents multiple features from sharing the same number prefix

4. **For some agents**, you may need to reload the workspace or clear cache
**Related issue:** If Copilot can't open local files or uses PowerShell commands unexpectedly, this is typically an IDE context issue, not related to `specify`. Try:
- Restarting VS Code
- Checking file permissions
- Ensuring the workspace folder is properly opened

- "Fix payment processing timeout bug" → "fix-payment-timeout"
2. **Check for existing branches before creating new one**:
a. First, fetch all remote branches to ensure we have the latest information:
```bash
git fetch --all --prune
```
b. Find the highest feature number across all sources for the short-name:
- Remote branches: `git ls-remote --heads origin | grep -E 'refs/heads/[0-9]+-<short-name>$'`
- Local branches: `git branch | grep -E '^[* ]*[0-9]+-<short-name>$'`
- Specs directories: Check for directories matching `specs/[0-9]+-<short-name>`
c. Determine the next available number:
- Extract all numbers from all three sources
- Find the highest number N
- Use N+1 for the new branch number
d. Run the script `{SCRIPT}` with the calculated number and short-name:
- Pass `--number N+1` and `--short-name "your-short-name"` along with the feature description
- Bash example: `{SCRIPT} --json --number 5 --short-name "user-auth" "Add user authentication"`
- PowerShell example: `{SCRIPT} -Json -Number 5 -ShortName "user-auth" "Add user authentication"`
**IMPORTANT**:
- Check all three sources (remote branches, local branches, specs directories) to find the highest number
- Only match branches/directories with the exact short-name pattern
