+Quick Flow track skips Phase 1 and 3. BMad Method and Enterprise use all phases based on project needs. When an ADR/architecture draft is produced, run `*test-design` in **system-level** mode before the implementation-readiness gate so the ADR has an attached testability review and ADR → test mapping; keep it updated if ADRs change.
