bug: spec-kitty next reports discovery after finalized task board #961

Description

@robertDouglass

Observed

During mission release-320-workflow-reliability-01KQKV85, spec-kitty next kept returning the mission-type phase view (discovery) even though the task board was finalized with six planned work packages and later all six WPs were approved/done.

The task status board was authoritative for the implement-review loop; using next would have driven the agent back into the wrong mission phase.

Expected

When a mission has finalized tasks / WPs, spec-kitty next should advance from the task graph and current WP lanes, not from the earlier mission-type phase view.

Impact

Agents following the canonical next --agent loop can be routed to the wrong action after /tasks, causing duplicate discovery/spec work or blocking implementation.

Repro signal

Mission: release-320-workflow-reliability-01KQKV85
Task board: 6 WPs finalized; eventually 6/6 Done.
Observed workaround: ignore next and use spec-kitty agent tasks status --mission ... as authoritative.
