From 6d25a4b04852a67fad2b6dbbe0f815671adde28c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Verkhovsky Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 09:17:38 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] chore: convert dev-story workflow from yaml to markdown format Merge workflow.yaml config and instructions.xml content into a single workflow.md, following the established conversion pattern. Drop engine scaffolding directives, preserve all behavioral constraints verbatim.
