+- **Version detection for fork packages**: `specify init` now correctly resolves the CLI version when the package is installed under `agentic-sdlc-specify-cli` (e.g., via `uv tool install`). Previously it only tried `specify-cli`, causing preset compatibility checks to fail with `Invalid version: 'unknown'` for bundled presets like `agentic-sdlc`.
