Implements requirements #1 and #2: stronger enforcement + progress tracking
REQUIREMENT #1: Stronger Enforcement
- dev-story Step 8 now MANDATES sprint-status.yaml update after EVERY task
- Previously: Updated only at story start (step 4) and end (step 9)
- Now: Updated after EACH task completion with CRITICAL + HALT enforcement
- Validation: Re-reads file to verify update persisted, HALTs on failure
REQUIREMENT #2: Progress Tracking
- Extended sprint-status.yaml format with inline progress comments
- Format: "story-key: in-progress # X/Y tasks (Z%)"
- Real-time visibility into story progress without opening story files
- Automatically updated by dev-story and batch-super-dev reconciliation
Progress Comment Format:
- in-progress: "# 3/10 tasks (30%)"
- review: "# 10/10 tasks (100%) - awaiting review"
- done: "# ✅ COMPLETED: Brief summary"
Benefits:
- Sprint-status.yaml becomes a real-time progress dashboard
- No need to open individual story files to check progress
- Immediate visibility when stories stall (same % for days)
- Enables better sprint planning and resource allocation
Files Modified:
- dev-story/instructions.xml (BMM + BMGD): Added mandatory task-level updates
- sprint-status/instructions.md (BMM + BMGD): Added progress parsing/display
- batch-super-dev/step-4.5-reconcile-story-status.md: Added progress to reconciliation
- docs/HOW-TO-VALIDATE-SPRINT-STATUS.md: Documented new format and enforcement
Breaking Change: None (backward compatible with old format)
- Old entries without progress comments still work
- New entries automatically add progress
- Gradual migration as stories are worked
