+# Super-Dev-Pipeline v1.5.0: Hospital-Grade Test-Driven Implementation
+
+**Branch:** `feature/super-dev-pipeline-v1.5.0-hospital-grade`
+**Version:** 6.1.0-alpha.23 (fork) + v1.5.0 enhancements
+**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE - Ready for Testing
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 What This Feature Delivers
+
+A **comprehensive, safety-critical story implementation pipeline** with:
+- **Test-driven development** (TDD)
+- **Hospital-grade code quality standards**
+- **Intelligent multi-agent code review**
+- **Smart gap analysis**
+- **Mandatory status tracking**
+- **Interactive and fully autonomous modes**
+
+---
+
+## ⚕️ Hospital-Grade Code Standards
+
+**CRITICAL: Lives May Be At Stake**
+
+This enhancement recognizes that code may be used in healthcare/safety-critical environments where failures can harm patients.
+
+### Safety-Critical Quality Requirements:
+
+✅ **CORRECTNESS OVER SPEED** - Take 5 hours to do it right, not 1 hour to do it poorly
+✅ **DEFENSIVE PROGRAMMING** - Validate all inputs, handle all errors explicitly
+✅ **COMPREHENSIVE TESTING** - Happy path + edge cases + error cases
+✅ **CODE CLARITY** - Readability over cleverness
+✅ **ROBUST ERROR HANDLING** - Never silent failures
+⚠️ **WHEN IN DOUBT: ASK** - Never guess in safety-critical code
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ Complete a-k Workflow
+
+### The 11-Step Pipeline
+
+**1. Init + Validate Story (a-c)**
+- Validate story file exists and is robust
+- If missing: Auto-invoke /create-story-with-gap-analysis
+- If incomplete: Auto-regenerate story with gap analysis
+- Set `story_just_created` flag for smart routing
+
+**2. Smart Gap Analysis (d)**
+- **Smart logic**: Skip if story just created in step 1 (already has gap analysis)
+- Otherwise: Full gap analysis against codebase
+- Prevents redundant analysis (token savings)
+
+**3. Write Tests - TDD (e) [NEW]**
+- Write comprehensive tests BEFORE implementation
+- Test all acceptance criteria
+- Red phase (tests fail initially)
+- Coverage requirements defined
+
+**4. Implement (f)**
+- **HOSPITAL-GRADE CODE STANDARDS** prominently displayed
+- Adaptive methodology (greenfield TDD, brownfield refactor)
+- Safety-critical quality reminders
+- Correctness over speed emphasis
+
+**5. Post-Validation (g)**
+- Verify claimed work actually implemented
+- Cross-check against story requirements
+- Detect ghost implementations
+
+**6. Quality Checks (h) [NEW]**
+- **BLOCKING STEP** - Cannot proceed until ALL pass:
+  - ✅ All tests passing (0 failures)
+  - ✅ Test coverage ≥80%
+  - ✅ Zero type errors
+  - ✅ Zero lint errors/warnings
+- Auto-fix where possible
+- Manual fix remaining issues
+- Re-run until all green
+
+**7. Code Review (i)**
+- **Multi-agent review with FRESH CONTEXT (unbiased)**
+- Variable agent count based on risk:
+  - MICRO (2 agents): Security + Code Quality
+  - STANDARD (4 agents): + Architecture + Testing
+  - COMPLEX (6 agents): + Performance + Domain Expert
+- **Smart agent selection** based on changed code
+- Review in new session (not the agent that wrote the code)
+
+**8. Review Analysis (j) [NEW]**
+- **Critical thinking framework**
+- Categorize findings:
+  - 🔴 MUST FIX (critical/security)
+  - 🟠 SHOULD FIX (standards/maintainability)
+  - 🟡 CONSIDER (nice-to-have)
+  - ⚪ REJECTED (gold plating/false positives)
+  - 🔵 OPTIONAL (tech debt)
+- **Document rejection rationale** (why gold plating was rejected)
+- Estimate fix time
+
+**9. Fix Issues [NEW]**
+- Implement MUST FIX items (critical/blocking)
+- Implement SHOULD FIX items (high priority)
+- Consider CONSIDER items (if in scope)
+- Skip REJECTED items (already documented)
+- Create tech debt tickets for OPTIONAL items
+- Verify fixes don't break tests
+
+**10. Complete + Update Status (k)**
+- Mark story as "done"
+- **MANDATORY sprint-status.yaml update** (NO EXCEPTIONS)
+- **VERIFY update persisted** (re-read file)
+- HALT if verification fails
+- Commit all changes
+
+**11. Summary**
+- Comprehensive audit trail
+- Quality metrics
+- Time tracking
+- Next steps
+
+---
+
+## 🎛️ Batch-Super-Dev Execution Modes
+
+### Mode Selection (Step 0 - NEW)
+
+**User chooses at workflow start:**
+
+**1. INTERACTIVE CHECKPOINT MODE** (Recommended for oversight)
+- Pause after each story completes
+- Display quality summary
+- User approves before proceeding to next story
+- Allows real-time intervention if issues detected
+- Best for: Critical features, new team members, complex epics
+
+**2. FULLY AUTONOMOUS MODE** (Maximum quality, zero interaction)
+- Process ALL selected stories without pausing
+- **ENHANCED quality standards** (more rigorous, not less)
+- Hospital-grade verification at every step
+- Zero shortcuts, zero corner-cutting
+- Best for: Well-defined stories, experienced implementation
+
+**Key Principle:** Autonomous mode = **HIGHER quality**, not lower
+- Double validation when no human oversight
+- Enhanced error checking
+- Comprehensive audit trails
+- Zero tolerance for shortcuts
+
+---
+
+## 🔬 Multi-Agent Review Innovation
+
+### Fresh Context Requirement
+
+**CRITICAL:** Review always happens in NEW session (different agent)
+- Prevents bias from implementation decisions
+- Provides truly independent perspective
+- Unbiased code quality assessment
+
+### Smart Agent Selection
+
+**Dynamic agent selection based on code changes:**
+- Touching payments? → Financial-security agent
+- Touching auth? → Auth-security agent
+- Touching file uploads? → File-security agent
+- Touching APIs? → Architecture + Testing agents
+- Touching algorithms? → Performance + Domain expert
+
+### Risk-Based Agent Count
+
+**Complexity determined by RISK, not task count:**
+
+**MICRO** (2 agents): Low-risk changes
+- Examples: UI tweaks, text changes, simple CRUD, documentation
+- Agents: Security + Code Quality
+- Cost: 1x multiplier
+
+**STANDARD** (4 agents): Medium-risk changes
+- Examples: API endpoints, business logic, data validation, component refactors
+- Agents: + Architecture + Testing
+- Cost: 2x multiplier
+
+**COMPLEX** (6 agents): High-risk changes
+- Examples: Auth/security, payments, file handling, architecture changes, performance-critical
+- Agents: + Performance + Domain Expert
+- Cost: 3x multiplier

+## 🔗 Integration Points
+
+### With Existing Workflows
+
+**batch-super-dev** (Step 4):
+```xml
+<action>Invoke workflow: /bmad:bmm:workflows:super-dev-pipeline</action>
+<action>Parameters:
+  - mode=batch
+  - story_key={{story_key}}
+  - complexity_level={{complexity_level}}
+  - execution_mode={{execution_mode}}
+</action>
+```
+
+**multi-agent-review** can be invoked:
+- Automatically from super-dev-pipeline step 7
+- Manually via `/MAR` trigger (dev agent)
+- Manually via `/multi-agent-review` trigger (sm agent)
+
+### Complexity Flow
+
+```
+batch-super-dev (step 2.5):
+  → Analyze story risk (keywords, file count, etc.)
+  → Classify as MICRO | STANDARD | COMPLEX
+  → Pass complexity_level to super-dev-pipeline
+
+super-dev-pipeline (step 7):
+  → Use complexity_level for agent count
+  → Invoke multi-agent-review
+  → Pass complexity_level to review workflow
+
+multi-agent-review (step 1):
+  → Select 2, 4, or 6 agents based on complexity
+  → Smart agent selection based on code changes
+  → Execute review in fresh context
+```
