This caused agents to skip past the approval step without waiting for explicit user confirmation. Added: - Review menu with [y] Approve, [c] Changes, [q] Questions, [a] Advanced Elicitation, [p] Party Mode - Explicit HALT instruction - Menu handling section This aligns step 4 with the menu-driven pattern used in steps 1-3.

Includes 5 document archetype models (Tutorial, Reference, Explanation, Prompt, Strategic) for targeted evaluation. - editorial-review-prose.xml: Clinical copy-editor for prose improvements using Microsoft Writing Style Guide as baseline. Both tasks support humans and llm target audiences with different principles. * fix: add content-sacrosanct guardrail to editorial review tasks Both editorial review tasks (prose and structure) were missing the key constraint that reviewers should never challenge the ideas/knowledge themselves—only how clearly they are communicated. This restores the original design intent. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 * fix: align reader_type parameter naming across editorial tasks Prose task was using 'target_audience' for the humans/llm optimization flag while structure task correctly separates 'target_audience' (who reads) from 'reader_type' (optimization mode).

From 5cb5606ba3cfa575365464afe2a9892c0aacd15f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davor Racic Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 23:25:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 13/87] fix(cli): replace inquirer with @clack/prompts for Windows compatibility (#1316) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * fix(cli): replace inquirer with @clack/prompts for Windows compatibility - Add new prompts.js wrapper around @clack/prompts to fix Windows arrow key navigation issues (libuv #852) - Fix validation logic in github-copilot.js that always returned true - Add support for primitive choice values (string/number) in select/multiselect - Add 'when' property support for conditional questions in prompt() - Update all IDE installers to use new prompts module Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 * fix(cli): address code review feedback for prompts migration - Move @clack/prompts from devDependencies to dependencies (critical) - Remove unused inquirer dependency - Fix potential crash in multiselect when initialValues is undefined - Add async validator detection with explicit error message - Extract validateCustomContentPathSync method in ui.js - Extract promptInstallLocation methods in claude-code.js and antigravity.js - Fix moduleId -> missing.id in installer.js remove flow - Update multiselect to support native clack API (options/initialValues) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 * chore: update comments to reference @clack/prompts instead of inquirer - Update bmad-cli.js comment about CLI prompts - Update config-collector.js JSDoc comments - Rename inquirer variable to choiceUtils in ui.js - Update JSDoc returns and calls documentation Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 * fix(cli): add spacing between prompts and installation progress Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 * fix(cli): add multiselect usage hints for inexperienced users Add inline navigation hints to all multiselect prompts showing (↑/↓ navigate, SPACE select, ENTER confirm) to help users unfamiliar with terminal multiselect controls. Also restore detailed warning when no tools are selected, explaining that SPACE must be pressed to select items. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 * feat(cli): restore IDE grouping using groupMultiselect Replace flat multiselect with native @clack/prompts groupMultiselect component to restore visual grouping of IDE/tool options: - "Previously Configured" - pre-selected IDEs from existing install - "Recommended Tools" - starred preferred options - "Additional Tools" - other available options This restores the grouped UX that was lost during the Inquirer.js to @clack/prompts migration.

Explicit Assertions (No Hidden Validation) + +**Rule:** Assertions visible in test body, not abstracted. + +**Requirements:** +- ✅ Assertions in test code (not helper functions) +- ✅ Specific assertions (not generic `toBeTruthy`) +- ✅ Meaningful expectations (test actual behavior) + +**Bad Example:** +```typescript +// ❌ Assertions hidden in helper +async function verifyProfilePage(page: Page) { + // Assertions buried in helper (not visible in test) + await expect(page.locator('h1')).toBeVisible(); + await expect(page.locator('.email')).toContainText('@'); + await expect(page.locator('.name')).not.toBeEmpty(); +} + +test('profile page', async ({ page }) => { + await page.goto('/profile'); + await verifyProfilePage(page); // What's being verified? +}); +``` + +**Problems:** +- Can't see what's tested (need to read helper) +- Hard to debug failures (which assertion failed?) +- Reduces test readability +- Hides important validation + +**Good Example:** +```typescript +// ✅ Assertions explicit in test +test('should display profile with correct data', async ({ page }) => { + await page.goto('/profile'); + + // Explicit assertions - clear what's tested + await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('Test User'); + await expect(page.locator('.email')).toContainText('test@example.com'); + await expect(page.locator('.bio')).toContainText('Software Engineer'); + await expect(page.locator('img[alt="Avatar"]')).toBeVisible(); +}); +``` + +**Why it works:** +- See what's tested at a glance +- Debug failures easily (know which assertion failed) +- Test is self-documenting +- No hidden behavior + +**Exception:** Use helper for setup/cleanup, not assertions. + +### 4. Focused Tests (Appropriate Size) + +**Rule:** Test has single responsibility, reasonable size. + +**Requirements:** +- ✅ Test size < 300 lines +- ✅ Single responsibility (test one thing well) +- ✅ Clear describe/test names +- ✅ Appropriate scope (not too granular, not too broad) + +**Bad Example:** +```typescript +// ❌ 500-line test testing everything +test('complete user flow', async ({ page }) => { + // Registration (50 lines) + await page.goto('/register'); + await page.fill('#email', 'test@example.com'); + // ... 48 more lines + + // Profile setup (100 lines) + await page.goto('/profile'); + // ... 98 more lines + + // Settings configuration (150 lines) + await page.goto('/settings'); + // ... 148 more lines + + // Data export (200 lines) + await page.goto('/export'); + // ... 198 more lines + + // Total: 500 lines, testing 4 different features +}); +``` + +**Problems:** +- Failure in line 50 prevents testing lines 51-500 +- Hard to understand (what's being tested?) +- Slow to execute (testing too much) +- Hard to debug (which feature failed?) + +**Good Example:** +```typescript +// ✅ Focused tests - one responsibility each + +test('should register new user', async ({ page }) => { + await page.goto('/register'); + await page.fill('#email', 'test@example.com'); + await page.fill('#password', 'password123'); + await page.click('button[type="submit"]'); + + await expect(page).toHaveURL('/welcome'); + await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('Welcome'); +}); + +test('should configure user profile', async ({ page, authSession }) => { + await authSession.login({ email: 'test@example.com', password: 'pass' }); + await page.goto('/profile'); + + await page.fill('#name', 'Test User'); + await page.fill('#bio', 'Software Engineer'); + await page.click('button:has-text("Save")'); + + await expect(page.locator('.success')).toBeVisible(); +}); + +// ... separate tests for settings, export (each < 50 lines) +``` + +**Why it works:** +- Each test has one responsibility +- Failure is easy to diagnose +- Can run tests independently +- Test names describe exactly what's tested + +### 5. Fast Execution (Performance Budget) + +**Rule:** Individual test executes in < 1.5 minutes. + +**Requirements:** +- ✅ Test execution < 90 seconds +- ✅ Efficient selectors (getByRole > XPath) +- ✅ Minimal redundant actions +- ✅ Parallel execution enabled + +**Bad Example:** +```typescript +// ❌ Slow test (3+ minutes) +test('slow test', async ({ page }) => { + await page.goto('/'); + await page.waitForTimeout(10000); // 10s wasted + + // Navigate through 10 pages (2 minutes) + for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { + await page.click(`a[href="/page-${i}"]`); + await page.waitForTimeout(5000); // 5s per page = 50s wasted + } + + // Complex XPath selector (slow) + await page.locator('//div[@class="container"]/section[3]/div[2]/p').click(); + + // More waiting + await page.waitForTimeout(30000); // 30s wasted + + await expect(page.locator('.result')).toBeVisible(); +}); +``` + +**Total time:** 3+ minutes (95 seconds wasted on hard waits) + +**Good Example (Vanilla Playwright):** +```typescript +// ✅ Fast test (< 10 seconds) +test('fast test', async ({ page }) => { + // Set up response wait + const apiPromise = page.waitForResponse( + resp => resp.url().includes('/api/result') && resp.ok() + ); + + await page.goto('/'); + + // Direct navigation (skip intermediate pages) + await page.goto('/page-10'); + + // Efficient selector + await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click(); + + // Wait for actual response (fast when API is fast) + await apiPromise; + + await expect(page.locator('.result')).toBeVisible(); +}); +``` + +**With Playwright Utils:** +```typescript +import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures'; +import { expect } from '@playwright/test'; + +test('fast test', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => { + // Set up interception + const resultCall = interceptNetworkCall({ + method: 'GET', + url: '**/api/result' + }); + + await page.goto('/'); + + // Direct navigation (skip intermediate pages) + await page.goto('/page-10'); + + // Efficient selector + await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click(); + + // Wait for actual response (automatic JSON parsing) + const { status, responseJson } = await resultCall; + + expect(status).toBe(200); + await expect(page.locator('.result')).toBeVisible(); + + // Can also validate response data if needed + // expect(responseJson.data).toBeDefined(); +}); +``` + +**Total time:** < 10 seconds (no wasted waits) + +**Both examples achieve:** +- No hard waits (wait for actual events) +- Direct navigation (skip unnecessary steps) +- Efficient selectors (getByRole) +- Fast execution + +**Playwright Utils bonus:** +- Can validate API response data easily +- Automatic JSON parsing +- Cleaner API + +## TEA's Quality Scoring + +TEA reviews tests against these standards in `*test-review`: + +### Scoring Categories (100 points total) + +**Determinism (35 points):** +- No hard waits: 10 points +- No conditionals: 10 points +- No try-catch flow: 10 points +- Network-first patterns: 5 points + +**Isolation (25 points):** +- Self-cleaning: 15 points +- No global state: 5 points +- Parallel-safe: 5 points + +**Assertions (20 points):** +- Explicit in test body: 10 points +- Specific and meaningful: 10 points + +**Structure (10 points):** +- Test size < 300 lines: 5 points +- Clear naming: 5 points + +**Performance (10 points):** +- Execution time < 1.5 min: 10 points + +#### Quality Scoring Breakdown + +```mermaid +%%{init: {'theme':'base', 'themeVariables': { 'fontSize':'14px'}}}%% +pie title Test Quality Score (100 points) + "Determinism" : 35 + "Isolation" : 25 + "Assertions" : 20 + "Structure" : 10 + "Performance" : 10 +``` + +```mermaid +%%{init: {'theme':'base', 'themeVariables': { 'fontSize':'13px'}}}%% +flowchart LR + subgraph Det[Determinism - 35 pts] + D1[No hard waits

The selectors in this tutorial use CSS classes that match TodoMVC's actual structure: +```typescript +// TodoMVC uses these CSS classes: +page.locator('.new-todo') // Input field +page.locator('.todo-list li') // Todo items +page.locator('.toggle') // Checkbox + +// If testing your own app, prefer accessible selectors: +page.getByRole('textbox') +page.getByRole('listitem') +page.getByRole('checkbox') +``` + +**Note:** In production code, use accessible selectors (`getByRole`, `getByLabel`, `getByText`) for better resilience. TodoMVC is used here for learning, not as a selector best practice example. + +**Problem:** Network timeout +**Solution:** Increase timeout in `playwright.config.ts`: +```typescript +use: { + timeout: 30000, // 30 seconds +} +``` + +### Need Help? + +- **Documentation:** +- **GitHub Issues:** +- **Discord:** Join the BMAD community + +--- + +## Feedback + +Found this tutorial helpful?

Key changes: - Add Universal Formatting Rules section at top (consolidated anti-patterns) - Move Visual Hierarchy and formatting rules before document types - Add Document Types decision table for type selection - Move Before/After example to follow Visual Hierarchy - Merge Links/Images into single Assets table - Move tutorial-specific checklist into Tutorial Structure section - Move Validation Steps to end (submission workflow) - Cut abstract Quick Principles (no execution value for LLMs) - Remove emotional/orientation language throughout - Condense FAQ Sections structure Result: ~35% reduction (539 deletions, 383 insertions) with improved parseability for AI agents writing documentation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 * docs: clarify explanation checklist admonition limit Disambiguate 2-3 admonitions max to explicitly show it is a per-document limit that still respects the universal per-section rule. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 * docs: clarify header budget vs structure template relationship Add note explaining that structure templates show content flow, not 1:1 header mapping. Admonitions and inline elements are within sections. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 * docs: remove horizontal rules to follow own guidelines Remove all --- section separators to comply with Universal Formatting Rules. The ## headers provide sufficient visual separation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 * docs: address PR review findings for style guide - Fix forward reference in Header Budget section - Clarify descriptions rule scope (tables and 5+ item lists) - Restore realistic FAQ examples - Add qualifier to admonition content length guideline Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 * docs: further optimize style guide as delta-only document - Add opener declaring adherence to Google Style Guide and Diataxis - Remove generic Google style guide sections (Visual Hierarchy patterns, Tables constraints, Code Blocks, Lists, Assets) - Remove Diataxis explainer content (Document Types table, "X documents do Y" explanatory sentences, Before/After example) - Keep all project-specific structure templates and checklists - Consolidate rules into single Project-Specific Rules table Result: 367 lines (down from 597), pure delta document assuming LLM training knowledge of baseline standards.

-### DON'T - -- Don't test Godot's built-in functionality -- Don't rely on execution order between test files -- Don't leave orphan nodes -- Don't use `yield` (use `await` in Godot 4) -- Don't test private methods directly - -## Troubleshooting - -| Issue | Cause | Fix | -| -------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------------ | -| Tests not found | Wrong prefix/path | Check gut_config.json | -| Orphan nodes warning | Missing cleanup | Add `queue_free()` in `after_each` | -| Signal not detected | Signal not watched | Call `watch_signals()` before action | -| Physics not working | Missing frames | Await `physics_frame` | -| Flaky tests | Timing issues | Use proper await/signals | -

Patterns are data. - -**Threshold Guidelines:** - -- 1 person mentions it → Note it -- 3+ people mention it → Investigate -- 50%+ mention it → Priority issue - -**Watch for:** - -- Same complaint, different words -- Same area, different complaints (signals deeper issue) -- Contradictory feedback (may indicate preference split) - -### Step 3: Root Cause Analysis - -Players report symptoms, not diseases. - -**Example:** - -- **Symptom:** "The boss is too hard" -- **Possible Root Causes:** - - Boss mechanics unclear - - Player didn't learn required skill earlier - - Checkpoint too far from boss - - Health/damage tuning off - - Boss pattern has no safe windows - -**Ask "Why?" five times** to get to root cause. - -### Step 4: Separate Fact from Opinion - -| Fact (Actionable) | Opinion (Context) | -| --------------------------------- | ----------------------- | -| "I died 12 times on level 3" | "Level 3 is too hard" | -| "I didn't use the shield ability" | "The shield is useless" | -| "I quit after 20 minutes" | "The game is boring" | - -**Facts tell you WHAT happened.
