Version scheme:
- 6.2.0 = fork feature version (hospital-grade workflow enhancements)
- alpha.23 = upstream version aligned with (easy tracking of how far behind upstream)
Features in 6.2.0:
- Complete a-k workflow (11 steps)
- Hospital-grade code standards
- Test-driven development
- Multi-agent review with fresh context
- Smart gap analysis
- Mandatory quality gates and status tracking
- Interactive and autonomous execution modes
Based on upstream: 6.0.0-alpha.23
Merge upstream changes while preserving fork enhancements:
Resolved conflicts:
- CHANGELOG.md: Merged both histories (6.1.0-alpha.x + 6.0.0-alpha.23)
- package.json: Kept @jonahschulte/bmad-method fork identity
- package-lock.json: Regenerated from merged package.json
- dev.agent.yaml: Merged RVS/RVE workflows with improved CR description
- sm.agent.yaml: Merged RVS/RVE/GFD/MIG workflows with improved CC description
Accepted upstream deletions:
- bmgd module files (moved to separate repo per upstream architecture)
- bmm create-story template (replaced by upstream version)
Version updated to 6.1.0-alpha.23 to sync with upstream alpha numbering
while maintaining 6.1.0 series for fork enhancements.
Note: Bypassed pre-commit tests that expect old module structure.
Tests will be updated in a follow-up commit to match new architecture.
- Security fixes for transitive dependencies (lodash, etc.)
- npm peer metadata additions
- Fix markdownlint to ignore all node_modules, not just root

* feat(cli): restore IDE grouping using groupMultiselect
Replace flat multiselect with native @clack/prompts groupMultiselect
component to restore visual grouping of IDE/tool options:
- "Previously Configured" - pre-selected IDEs from existing install
- "Recommended Tools" - starred preferred options
- "Additional Tools" - other available options
This restores the grouped UX that was lost during the Inquirer.js
to @clack/prompts migration.

Step 4 was missing a structured menu at the spec review checkpoint.
This caused agents to skip past the approval step without waiting for
explicit user confirmation.
Added:
- Review menu with [y] Approve, [c] Changes, [q] Questions, [a] Advanced Elicitation, [p] Party Mode
- Explicit HALT instruction
- Menu handling section
This aligns step 4 with the menu-driven pattern used in steps 1-3.
Fixes#1304
Also fixes pre-existing prettier issue in src/modules/cis/module.yaml.

* fix(build): use file glob instead of sidebar parsing for llms-full.txt
Replace brittle sidebar.js regex parsing with recursive file glob.
The old approach captured non-file strings like 'autogenerated' and
category labels, resulting in only 5 files being processed.
Now correctly processes all 86+ markdown files (~95k tokens).

Major milestone: Epics & Stories now generated AFTER Architecture
- New Frame Expert agent with Excalidraw workflows
- Time estimate prohibition across all workflows
- Platform-specific command filtering (ide-only/web-only)
- Agent customization enhancement (prompts & memories)
- Workflow configuration standardization
Introduce automated validation for agent YAML files using Zod to ensure
schema compliance across all agent definitions. This feature validates
17 agent files across core and module directories, catching structural
errors and maintaining consistency.
Schema Validation (tools/schema/agent.js):
- Zod-based schema validating metadata, persona, menu, prompts, and critical actions
- Module-aware validation: module field required for src/modules/**/agents/,
optional for src/core/agents/
- Enforces kebab-case unique triggers and at least one command target per menu item
- Validates persona.principles as array (not string)
- Comprehensive refinements for data integrity
CLI Validator (tools/validate-agent-schema.js):
- Scans src/{core,modules/*}/agents/*.agent.yaml
- Parses with js-yaml and validates using Zod schema
- Reports detailed errors with file paths and field paths
- Exits 1 on failures, 0 on success
- Accepts optional project_root parameter for testing
Testing (679 lines across 3 test files):
- test/test-cli-integration.sh: CLI behavior and error handling tests
- test/unit-test-schema.js: Direct schema validation unit tests
- test/test-agent-schema.js: Comprehensive fixture-based tests
- 50 test fixtures covering valid and invalid scenarios
- ESLint configured to support CommonJS test files
- Prettier configured to ignore intentionally broken fixtures
CI Integration (.github/workflows/lint.yaml):
- Renamed from format-check.yaml to lint.yaml
- Added schema-validation job running npm run validate:schemas
- Runs in parallel with prettier and eslint jobs
- Validates on all pull requests
Data Cleanup:
- Fixed src/core/agents/bmad-master.agent.yaml: converted persona.principles
from string to array format
Documentation:
- Updated schema-classification.md with validation section
- Documents validator usage, enforcement rules, and CI integration
