Session-start briefing from disk state. Synthesizes what happened last session, what's in the backlog, and suggests what to work on next. Designed for cold-start: paste /orc:recap as first message in a new session. Use when: "orc recap", "orc:recap", "what did I do last time", "where did I leave off", "catch me up", or at the start of any new session. Part of the orc system: orc:orchestrate, orc:backlog, orc:autoresearch, orc:status, orc:recap, orc:scope, orc:handoff.
Produce a 10-15 line cold-start briefing from disk state.

orc:pick 001 — Redis cache layer addresses the top latency bottleneck
.orc/ doesn't exist, say so and suggest orc:add to start capturing ideas.
