The PRD workflow step-02 was refactored to be discovery-only with
forward references to steps 2b and 2c, but those files were never
created. This left a gap where the workflow jumped from classification
directly to success criteria with no executive summary generation.
- Add step-02b-vision.md: collaborative vision/differentiator discovery
- Add step-02c-executive-summary.md: generate and append exec summary
- Update step-02 nextStepFile to chain through 02b instead of skipping to 03
When only one PRD exists in planning_artifacts, use it automatically
instead of prompting the user for its path. Still asks when multiple
PRDs are found or falls back to manual input when none are discovered.

Update all references to the help task file from the old path
`_bmad/core/tasks/bmad-help.md` to the new path `_bmad/core/tasks/help.md`.
Affected files:
- 7 workflow step files across multiple workflows
- 1 IDE tool command generator (updated comments)
Adds two operational technology domains to domain-complexity.csv
in both PRD and architecture workflows. Addresses the gap in OT
domain coverage for physical process control and building systems.
process_control: industrial automation, SCADA, PLC, DCS, I&C,
P&ID — covers power/utilities, water treatment, oil & gas,
manufacturing, chemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, mining,
and other sectors where software controls physical processes.
Key concerns include functional safety, process safety and hazard
analysis, environmental compliance, OT cybersecurity, and plant
reliability/maintainability. Requires engineering_authority PRD
section for PE/EOR credential requirements.
building_automation: BAS/BMS, HVAC, fire alarm, fire protection,
life safety, elevators, lighting, access control, commissioning —
covers commercial and institutional building systems. Key concerns
include life safety codes, multi-trade coordination, commissioning,
and indoor environmental quality.
Both domains are high complexity, include engineering_authority
as a required PRD section, and follow established entry patterns.

Replace /src/core/ paths with {project-root}/_bmad/core/ convention
in validation-report-prd-workflow.md lines 293-294.
These paths reference party-mode and advanced-elicitation workflows
using the source tree layout (/src/core/) instead of the installed
layout ({project-root}/_bmad/core/) that Beta.4 standardized
across all other files.
This is the remaining half of the fix for #1435, which was closed
as "will fix with .4 release" but only the brianmadison path on
line 11 and the XML syntax issue were addressed. The /src/core/
paths on lines 293-294 were missed.
Fixes#1480
The validationWorkflow reference uses ./steps-v/step-v-01-discovery.md
but steps-v/ is a sibling of steps-e/, not a child. Corrected to
../steps-v/step-v-01-discovery.md.
Fixes#1496

* fix: correct malformed XML syntax and remove hardcoded path
- Fix missing opening quote in activation-steps.txt: `n={HELP_STEP}"` → `n="{HELP_STEP}"`
- Remove spurious hyphen: `-Let` → `Let`
- Replace hardcoded `/Users/brianmadison/...` path with relative path
Fixes#1435
* fix: add missing HELP_STEP placeholder replacement
The activation-steps.txt template includes a {HELP_STEP} placeholder,
but activation-builder.js never calculated or replaced it. This caused
the literal string "{HELP_STEP}" to appear in compiled agent files.
Added helpStep calculation between menuStep and haltStep, and adjusted
subsequent step numbers accordingly.
Fixes#1441
* Update src/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/create-prd/validation-report-prd-workflow.md

Replace ambiguous "execute" terminology with explicit "Read fully and follow:"
phrasing across all workflow files to prevent LLM goal-seeking behavior where
models attempt to "achieve the end result" rather than following step-by-step
instructions verbatim.
Changes:
- Update 5 handler templates with canonical phrasing
- Replace ~150 INSTRUCTIONAL patterns across 87 workflow files
- Add "[Workflow] complete." prefix to 7 workflow endpoints
- Preserve BEHAVIORAL/STRUCTURAL patterns (agent descriptions, XML tags)
- Fix gitignore and markdownlint to ignore all node_modules directories
Closes#1372
