- Update module.yaml default to "open" and reorder options
- Change fallback in all 40 RULE directives from "default to structured
mode" to "default to open mode"

Change all 34 RULE directives from bare "When interaction_style is"
to explicit "Check your stored {interaction_style} session variable
from activation step 2" with a fallback default to structured mode.
Addresses cynical review finding that LLMs struggle with implicit
natural-language conditionals and need explicit variable lookup
instructions plus failure mode handling.

Standardize all 27 template RULE lines to use "EVERY question"
phrasing. The free-form escape clause prevents over-restriction
while EVERY strengthens the default structured behavior.

Replace emphatic "EVERY...MUST...Do NOT...No exceptions" phrasing with
clearer natural language that includes an explicit free-form override.
Research shows single clear sentences with conditional logic outperform
stacked absolute directives for LLM compliance.
New wording: "questions to the user MUST use structured options with a
numbered list unless the workflow or user explicitly requests free-form
input."
Also extracts RULE from step 4 in gemini-task.toml to standalone.

Isolated test branch with just IDE template rules and module.yaml config.
No core agent-component or workflow.xml changes.

This change removes the disable-model-invocation flag from all IDE installer
templates. By allowing model invocation, bmad help can now properly invoke
suggested workflows as direct skill calls, improving the user experience by
enabling automatic workflow execution when desired.
Prevents Claude from auto-invoking BMad skills without explicit user
request. Adds disable-model-invocation: true frontmatter to all
command templates and inline generators for Claude Code and Codex.

- 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.
