Brian Madison 7eb52520fa Major Enhancements:
- Installation path is now fully configurable, allowing users to specify custom installation directories during setup
  - Default installation location changed to .bmad (hidden directory) for cleaner project root organization

    Web Bundle Improvements:

    - All web bundles (single agent and team) now include party mode support for multi-agent collaboration!
    - Advanced elicitation capabilities integrated into standalone agents
    - All bundles enhanced with party mode agent manifests
    - Added default-party.csv files to bmm, bmgd, and cis module teams
    - The default party file is what will be used with single agent bundles. teams can customize for different party configurations before web bundling through a setting in the team yaml file
    - New web bundle outputs for all agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer, game-*, creative-squad)

    Phase 4 Workflow Updates (In Progress):

    - Initiated shift to separate phase 4 implementation artifacts from documentation
        - Phase 4 implementation artifacts (stories, code review, sprint plan, context files) will move to dedicated location outside docs folder
        - Installer questions and configuration added for artifact path selection
        - Updated workflow.yaml files for code-review, sprint-planning, story-context, epic-tech-context, and retrospective workflows to support this, but still might require some udpates

    Additional Changes:

    - New agent and action command header models for standardization
    - Enhanced web-bundle-activation-steps fragment
    - Updated web-bundler.js to support new structure
    - VS Code settings updated for new .bmad directory
    - Party mode instructions and workflow enhanced for better orchestration

   IDE Installer Updates:

    - Show version number of installer in cli
    - improved Installer UX
    - Gemini TOML Improved to have clear loading instructions with @ commands
    - All tools agent launcher mds improved to use a central file template critical indication isntead of hardcoding in 2 different locations.

Brian Madison f84e18760f feat: Extract BMGD module and implement workflow vendoring
This commit extracts game development functionality from BMM into a standalone
BMGD (BMad Game Development) module and implements workflow vendoring to enable
module independence.

BMGD Module Creation:
- Moved agents: game-designer, game-dev, game-architect from BMM to BMGD
- Moved team config: team-gamedev
- Created new Game Dev Scrum Master agent using workflow vendoring pattern
- Reorganized workflows into industry-standard game dev phases:
  * Phase 1 (Preproduction): brainstorm-game, game-brief
  * Phase 2 (Design): gdd, narrative
  * Phase 3 (Technical): game-architecture
  * Phase 4 (Production): vendored from BMM workflows
- Updated all module metadata and config_source references

Workflow Vendoring Feature:
- Enables modules to copy workflows from other modules during installation
- Build-time process that updates config_source in vendored workflows
- New agent YAML attribute: workflow-install (build-time metadata)
- Final compiled agents use workflow-install value for workflow attribute
- Implementation in module manager: vendorCrossModuleWorkflows()
- Allows standalone module installation without forced dependencies

Technical Changes:
- tools/cli/lib/yaml-xml-builder.js: Use workflow-install for workflow attribute
- tools/cli/installers/lib/modules/manager.js: Add vendoring functions
- tools/schema/agent.js: Add workflow-install to menu item schema
- Updated 3 documentation files with workflow vendoring details

BMM Workflow Updates:
- workflow-status/init: Added game detection checkpoint
- workflow-status/paths/game-design.yaml: Redirect to BMGD module
- prd/instructions.md: Route game projects to BMGD
- research/instructions-market.md: Reference BMGD for game development

Documentation:
- Created comprehensive BMGD module README
- Added workflow vendoring documentation
- Updated BMB agent creation and module creation guides

Brian Madison accae5d789 refactor: comprehensive workflow modernization and standardization
## Major Improvements

### 1. Elicitation System Modernization
- Removed legacy `<elicit-required />` tag from workflow.xml
- Replaced with direct `<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>` pattern
- More explicit, self-documenting, and eliminates indirection layer
- Added strategic elicitation points across all planning workflows:
  - PRD: After success criteria, scope, functional requirements, and final review
  - Create-Epics-And-Stories: After epic proposals and each epic's stories
  - Architecture: After decisions, structure, patterns, implementation patterns, and final doc
  - Updated audit-workflow tag scanner to remove obsolete elicit-required reference

### 2. Input Document Discovery Streamlined
- Replaced verbose 19-line "Input Document Discovery" sections with single critical tag
- New format: `<critical>Input documents specified in workflow.yaml input_file_patterns...</critical>`
- Eliminates duplication - workflow.yaml already defines patterns
- Updated across 6 workflows (PRD, create-epics-and-stories, architecture, tech-spec, UX, gate-check)
- Saved ~114 lines of repeated bloat

### 3. Scale System Migration (Levels 0-4 → 3 Tracks)
- Updated PRD workflow from "Level 0-4" to "Quick Flow / BMad Method / Enterprise Method"
- Changed `project_level` variable to `project_track`
- Removed `target_scale` variable (no longer needed)
- Updated workflow.yaml descriptions to reference tracks not levels
- Updated checklist from "Level 2" and "Level 3-4" to "BMad Method" and "Enterprise Method"
- Aligns with new scale-adaptive-system.md (3-track methodology)

### 4. Epic/Story Template Standardization
- Replaced hardcoded 8-epic template with clean repeating pattern using N/M variables
- Added BDD-style acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then/And)
- Removed instructional bloat from templates (moved to instructions.md where it belongs)
- Template shows OUTPUT structure, instructions show PROCESS
- Applied to both create-epics-and-stories and tech-spec workflows
- Templates now use HTML comments to indicate repeating sections

### 5. Workflow.yaml Pattern Consistency
- Standardized input_file_patterns across all workflows
- Separated `recommended_inputs` (semantic WHAT) from `input_file_patterns` (file discovery WHERE)
- Removed duplication between recommended_inputs file paths and input_file_patterns
- Create-epics-and-stories now uses proper whole/sharded pattern like architecture workflow
- Solutioning-gate-check cleaned up to use semantic descriptions not file paths

## Files Changed (18)
- Core: workflow.xml (removed elicit-required tag and references)
- Audit workflow: Updated tag pattern scanner
- PRD workflow: Elicitation points, track migration, input discovery
- Create-epics-and-stories: Template rebuild, BDD format, elicitation, input patterns
- Tech-spec: Template rebuild, BDD format, input discovery
- UX Design: Input discovery streamlined
- Architecture: Elicitation at 5 key decision points, input discovery
- Gate-check: Input pattern cleanup, input discovery

## Impact
- More consistent elicitation across workflows
- Cleaner, more maintainable templates
- Better separation of concerns (templates vs instructions)
- Aligned with v6 3-track scale system
- Reduced bloat and duplication significantly

Brian Madison 3d4ea5ffd2 feat: add universal document sharding support with dual-strategy loading
Implement comprehensive document sharding system across all BMM workflows enabling 90%+ token savings for large multi-epic projects through selective loading optimization.

## Document Sharding System

### Core Features
- **Universal Support**: All 12 BMM workflows (Phase 1-4) handle both whole and sharded documents
- **Dual Loading Strategy**: Full Load (Phase 1-3) vs Selective Load (Phase 4)
- **Automatic Discovery**: Workflows detect format transparently (whole → sharded priority)
- **Efficiency Optimization**: 90%+ token reduction for 10+ epic projects in Phase 4

### Implementation Details

**Phase 1-3 Workflows (7 workflows) - Full Load Strategy:**
- product-brief, prd, gdd, create-ux-design, tech-spec, architecture, solutioning-gate-check
- Load entire sharded documents when present
- Transparent to user experience
- Better organization for large projects

**Phase 4 Workflows (5 workflows) - Selective Load Strategy:**
- sprint-planning (Full Load exception - needs all epics)
- epic-tech-context, create-story, story-context, code-review (Selective Load)
- Load ONLY the specific epic needed (e.g., epic-3.md for Epic 3 stories)
- Massive efficiency: Skip loading 9 other epics in 10-epic project

### Workflow Enhancements

**Added to all workflows:**
- `input_file_patterns` in workflow.yaml with wildcard discovery
- Document Discovery section in instructions.md
- Support for sharded index + section files
- Brownfield `docs/index.md` support

**Pattern standardization:**
```yaml
input_file_patterns:
  document:
    whole: "{output_folder}/*doc*.md"
    sharded: "{output_folder}/*doc*/index.md"
    sharded_single: "{output_folder}/*doc*/section-{{id}}.md"  # Selective load
```

### Retrospective Workflow Major Overhaul

Transformed retrospective into immersive, interactive team experience:

**Epic Discovery Priority (Fixed):**
- Priority 1: Check sprint-status.yaml for last completed epic
- Priority 2: Ask user directly
- Priority 3: Scan stories folder (last resort)

**New Capabilities:**
- Deep story analysis: Extract dev notes, mistakes, review feedback, lessons learned
- Previous retro integration: Track action items, verify lessons applied
- Significant change detection: Alert when discoveries require epic updates
- Intent-based facilitation: Natural conversation vs scripted phrases
- Party mode protocol: Clear speaker identification (Name (Role): dialogue)
- Team dynamics: Drama, disagreements, diverse perspectives, authentic conflict

**Structure:**
- 12 whole-number steps (no decimals)
- Highly interactive with constant user engagement
- Cross-references previous retro for accountability
- Synthesizes patterns across all stories
- Detects architectural assumption changes

## Documentation

**Created:**
- `docs/document-sharding-guide.md` - Comprehensive 300+ line guide
  - What is sharding, when to use it (token thresholds)
  - How sharding works (discovery system, loading strategies)
  - Using shard-doc tool
  - Full Load vs Selective Load patterns
  - Complete examples and troubleshooting
  - Custom workflow integration patterns

**Updated:**
- `README.md` - Added Document Sharding feature section
- `docs/index.md` - Added under Advanced Topics → Optimization
- `src/modules/bmm/workflows/README.md` - Added sharding section with usage
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/workflow-creation-guide.md` - Added complete implementation patterns for workflow builders

**Documentation levels:**
1. Overview (README.md) - Quick feature highlight
2. User guide (BMM workflows README) - Practical usage
3. Reference (document-sharding-guide.md) - Complete details
4. Builder guide (workflow-creation-guide.md) - Implementation patterns

## Efficiency Gains

**Example: 10-Epic Project**

Before sharding:
- epic-tech-context for Epic 3: Load all 10 epics (~50k tokens)
- create-story for Epic 3: Load all 10 epics (~50k tokens)
- story-context for Epic 3: Load all 10 epics (~50k tokens)

After sharding with selective load:
- epic-tech-context for Epic 3: Load Epic 3 only (~5k tokens) = 90% reduction
- create-story for Epic 3: Load Epic 3 only (~5k tokens) = 90% reduction
- story-context for Epic 3: Load Epic 3 only (~5k tokens) = 90% reduction

## Breaking Changes

None - fully backward compatible. Workflows work with existing whole documents.

## Files Changed

**Workflows Updated (25 files):**
- 7 Phase 1-3 workflows: Added full load sharding support
- 5 Phase 4 workflows: Added selective load sharding support
- 1 retrospective workflow: Complete overhaul with sharding support

**Documentation (5 files):**
- Created: document-sharding-guide.md
- Updated: README.md, docs/index.md, BMM workflows README, BMB workflow-creation-guide
- Removed: Old conversion report (obsolete)

## Future Extensibility

- BMB workflows now aware of sharding patterns
- Custom modules can easily implement sharding support
- Standard patterns documented for consistency
- No need to explain concept in future development
