"""
Execute todo read tool to read and display TODO.md.
**Args:**
args: Tool arguments dictionary (no arguments required)
**Returns:**
ToolResult with:
- ok (bool): True if TODO.md was read successfully (no errors in stderr)
- stdout (str): Formatted TODO list with tasks grouped by status
- stderr (str): Error messages if any (empty string means success)
- meta (dict): Contains todo_file, todo_count, pending, in_progress, completed
**Examples:**
# Read current TODO list
todo_read()
**Output Format:**
Tasks are grouped by status and displayed as:
```
# TODO List (3 task(s))
## In Progress
1. Task 1 (Running task 1)
## Pending
1. Task 2 (Will run task 2)
## Completed (1)
1. Task 3
Summary: 1 pending, 1 in progress, 1 completed
```
**Behavior:**
- If TODO.md doesn't exist: Returns ok=True with message to use todo_write
- If TODO.md exists but is empty: Returns ok=True with message
- If TODO.md has tasks: Returns formatted list grouped by status
- Only shows first 5 completed tasks (to avoid clutter)
**Error Handling:**
- Success is determined by stderr content, not exit code
- If stderr is empty, the operation succeeded
- Check stderr for specific error messages if ok=False
