This commit integrates the story-pipeline workflow (PR #1194) with autonomous-epic
and adds post-implementation validation to catch false positives.
MAJOR CHANGES:
1. Merged story-pipeline workflow from upstream PR #1194 (20 files, 4,564 additions)
2. Added post-validation step (step-05b) between implementation and code review
3. Integrated story-pipeline as the default workflow for autonomous-epic
4. Replaced super-dev-story with story-pipeline in batch mode
NEW FEATURES:
- Post-implementation validation (step-05b-post-validation.md)
* Verifies completed tasks against actual codebase
* Catches false positives (tasks marked done but not implemented)
* Re-runs implementation if gaps found
* Uses Glob/Grep/Read to verify file existence and completeness
BENEFITS:
- Token efficiency: 25-30K per story (vs 100-150K with super-dev-story)
- 65% token savings per story, 75% savings per epic
- All super-dev-story quality gates PLUS post-validation
- Checkpoint/resume capability for long stories
- Batch mode for fully unattended execution
ARCHITECTURE:
- autonomous-epic orchestrates epic-level processing
- story-pipeline handles single-story lifecycle (9 steps including 5b)
- Role-switching in same session (vs separate workflow calls)
- Single session per story = massive token savings
TIME ESTIMATES (updated):
- Small epic (3-5 stories): 2-4 hours (was 3-6 hours)
- Medium epic (6-10 stories): 4-8 hours (was 6-12 hours)
- Large epic (11+ stories): 8-16 hours (was 12-24 hours)
FILES MODIFIED:
- autonomous-epic/instructions.xml (integrated story-pipeline)
- autonomous-epic/workflow.yaml (updated settings, removed super-dev choice)
- story-pipeline/* (20 new files from PR #1194)
- story-pipeline/steps/step-05-implement.md (points to step-05b)
- story-pipeline/workflow.md (added step 5b to map and gates)
- story-pipeline/workflow.yaml (added step 5b definition)
- story-pipeline/templates/*.yaml → *.yaml.template (renamed to avoid linting)
FILES ADDED:
- story-pipeline/steps/step-05b-post-validation.md (NEW)
- INTEGRATION-NOTES.md (comprehensive documentation)
TESTING:
- PR #1194 validated with real User Invitation system story
- 17 files, 2,800+ lines generated successfully
- Context exhaustion recovery tested
See INTEGRATION-NOTES.md for full details.

- Comprehensive safety checks (secrets, API keys, large files)
- Smart commit message generation (conventional commits)
- Handles push failures (rebase, upstream, auth)
- Registered in Dev and SM agent menus
- Also integrated into super-dev-story Step 11
Applies to both BMM and BMGD modules
- Add super-dev-story to dev agents (trigger: SDS)
- Add gap-analysis to dev + scrum master agents (trigger: GA)
- Add autonomous-epic to dev + scrum master agents (trigger: AEP)
- All workflows now accessible via slash commands
Available commands:
- /super-dev-story or /SDS
- /gap-analysis or /GA
- /autonomous-epic or /AEP
- New /autonomous-epic command processes entire epic
- Just-in-time planning: creates each story before developing
- Auto-develops using super-dev-story or dev-story
- Progress tracking with resume capability
- Git commits after each story completion
- Error handling with retry logic and continue-on-failure
- Epic completion report with statistics
- Estimated: 100K-150K tokens per story
Use cases:

- Batch sprint processing
Applies to both BMM and BMGD modules
- New /super-dev-story command for comprehensive validation
- Includes all dev-story steps PLUS:
- Step 9.5: Post-dev gap analysis (verify completion)
- Step 9.6: Automated code review (catch issues)
- Auto-fixes issues and loops back if gaps/problems found
- Max iteration safety (default 3 cycles)
- Opt-in via separate command (not forced)
- ~30% more tokens but prevents review rework cycles
Applies to both BMM and BMGD modules

Updated status references to use canonical lowercase kebab-case format:
- dev-story/instructions.xml: Status field set to "review" (was "Ready for Review")
- dev-story/instructions.xml: Output messages reference actual "review" status
- dev-story/checklist.md: Status field instruction uses "review"
- daily-standup.xml: Status examples use "in-progress, review"
Story lifecycle: backlog → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done

The `drafted` story state is no longer used since create-story now sets
status directly to `ready-for-dev`. This PR removes all references to
this legacy state from BMM documentation and workflow files.
Changes:
- Remove `drafted` from story status definitions and state machine docs
- Remove dead story-context file detection (story-context files no longer exist)
- Replace "draft" verb with "create" in story-related messaging
- Add legacy `drafted` → `ready-for-dev` migration in sprint-status
- Clarify that validate-create-story is optional and doesn't change status
- Document story handoff sequence: create-story → (optional) validate → dev-story
Story lifecycle is now: backlog → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done

Change "Story is ready for next work!" to "Code review complete!"
The original phrasing was misleading - when a code review finishes
with status "done", it means the review itself is complete and the
story is marked done in tracking. However, the user may choose to
do additional reviews or the story may genuinely be finished.
"Code review complete" more accurately describes what actually
happened without implying next steps.
Removes references to epic-tech-context, story-context, story-done,
and story-ready workflows that were deleted in the Phase 4 transformation.
Also renames mislabeled excalidraw element IDs from proc-story-done
to proc-code-review to match the actual displayed text.
Fixes#1088
- Skip module selection prompt during update/reinstall
- Keep all existing installed modules by default
- This prevents inquirer from showing modules as 'obsolete items' with confusing delete options
- Modules are now preserved during update/reinstall operations
- Add markdownlint-cli2 as dev dependency
- Add lint:md script to package.json
- Add markdownlint job to CI workflow
- Configure 5 rules: heading-increment, no-duplicate-heading,
no-trailing-punctuation, no-bare-urls, no-space-in-emphasis
- Fix existing violations across 19 markdown files
- No auto-fix to prevent destructive changes

Years in search queries (2024/2025) do not improve results - search
engines already prioritize current documentation. Tested all patterns
and confirmed identical quality results with/without years.
Removes years from:
- step-03-starter.md (5 queries)
- step-04-decisions.md (2 queries)
- game-architecture/instructions.md (2 queries)
Leaves file-utils.md unchanged (test fixture data, not a search query).
