fix: derive paths-only branch from feature directory

[luohui1]

Description

Closes #3026 by deriving the paths-only BRANCH value from the resolved feature directory basename when no explicit SPECIFY_FEATURE is available.

This keeps check-prerequisites --paths-only / -PathsOnly useful for feature-context invocations that rely on .specify/feature.json instead of an active feature branch environment variable.

Split out from #3053 after maintainer feedback to keep each bug fix in its own PR.

Testing

• Tested locally with uv run specify --help
• Ran existing tests with uv sync && uv run pytest

⚠️ Not ready to approve

The Bash fallback uses basename which won’t correctly derive a leaf name if feature_directory contains Windows-style backslashes, potentially producing an incorrect BRANCH value.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes check-prerequisites --paths-only / -PathsOnly emitting an empty BRANCH when SPECIFY_FEATURE is unset by deriving a fallback identifier from the resolved feature directory’s basename (supporting feature context coming from .specify/feature.json / SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY).

Changes:

• Bash: derive CURRENT_BRANCH from FEATURE_DIR basename when SPECIFY_FEATURE is not set.
• PowerShell: derive CURRENT_BRANCH from FEATURE_DIR leaf name when SPECIFY_FEATURE is not set (trimming trailing separators first).
• Add regression tests asserting BRANCH is non-empty (and equals the feature directory basename) for both Bash and PowerShell paths-only JSON output.
