Removes the security-risky _module-installer pattern (code execution at
install time) in favor of a declarative `directories` key in module.yaml.
The main installer now handles directory creation centrally based on this
config, eliminating per-module installer.js scripts and their CJS/ESM issues.
Changes:
- Delete src/bmm/_module-installer/installer.js
- Delete src/core/_module-installer/installer.js
- Add `directories` key to src/bmm/module.yaml
- Rename runModuleInstaller() -> createModuleDirectories()
- Remove _module-installer from ESLint overrides
- Remove _module-installer from file-ref validator skip dirs
* fix: remove redundant "None" skip option from module selection
The "None - Skip module installation" option was unnecessary since
core is always locked/selected, satisfying the required constraint.
Users can simply press Enter with only core selected to skip modules.
Also removes dead code: selectModules(), getExternalModuleChoices(),
and selectExternalModules() methods that were never called.

* fix: support ESM and .cjs module installers in ModuleManager
Module installer loading now handles three cases:
- .cjs files loaded via require() (always CommonJS regardless of package type)
- .js files loaded via dynamic import() (works for both CJS and ESM)
- CJS default export unwrapped automatically for consistent API
This fixes errors when external modules set "type":"module" in their
package.json. Those modules must still rename installer.js to
installer.cjs if it uses require() internally.

* fix: address code review findings from PR #1590
- Filter 'core' from CLI --modules in update path for consistency

* fix: clarify module post-install script errors as non-fatal warnings
Change error display from log.error to log.warn and explain that the
module was installed successfully — only the optional post-install
script could not run. Prevents users from thinking the module
installation itself failed.

* fix: suppress non-fatal module post-install script errors
Post-install scripts fail due to CJS/ESM incompatibility but module
files are already copied successfully. Silently catch the error instead
of showing a warning that alarms users into thinking installation failed.

* fix: remove redundant modules and tools lines from install summary
The checkmark list already shows each installed module and IDE tool.
Keep only the install path and file-warning lines in the summary footer.

* feat(cli): complete @clack/prompts migration
Full migration of BMAD CLI installer from legacy terminal libraries
(chalk, ora, boxen, figlet, wrap-ansi, cli-table3, readline) to unified
@clack/prompts v1.0.0 visual system.
Foundation (prompts.js + cli-utils.js):
- Extended prompts.js wrapper with box, spinner, progress, taskLog,
path, autocomplete, selectKey, stream, color re-export
- Refactored cli-utils.js: displayLogo uses box(), sections use note(),
steps use log.step(), removed boxen/figlet/wrap-ansi/cli-table3
UI orchestration (ui.js):
- Replaced ~100 console.log+chalk calls with log.*, note(), box()
- Replaced ora spinner with @clack spinner
- Module selection: autocompleteMultiselect with locked core module,
bulleted post-selection display, maxItems for no-scroll
Spinner migration (installer.js):
- Replaced 40+ ora spinner calls with @clack spinner
- All spinner.stop() calls include meaningful messages
- Failure paths use spinner.error() (red cross) instead of stop()
Readline migration (agent/installer.js + config-collector.js):
- Migrated readline prompts to @clack text/confirm/select
- Fixed chalk.dim bug (chalk was never imported)
- Removed chalk from config-collector.js
IDE handlers + modules (7 files):
- Replaced chalk+ora across all IDE handlers and module manager
- Fixed options.installer undefined bug in manager.js update()
Cleanup:
- Removed ora, boxen, figlet, wrap-ansi, cli-table3 from dependencies
- chalk stays (used outside tools/cli/ scope)
- Replaced hand-drawn Unicode update box in bmad-cli.js with box()
- Added process.stdin.setMaxListeners(25) for sequential prompts
Spinner wrapper adds isSpinning state tracking (not native to @clack).
Removed dead groupMultiselect and sortKey sort calls.

* feat(cli): consolidate installer output to single spinner + summary

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)
* feat: add non-interactive installation support
Add command-line flags to support non-interactive installation for CI/CD
pipelines and automated deployments:
- --directory: Installation directory
- --modules: Comma-separated module IDs
- --tools: Tool/IDE IDs (use "none" to skip)
- --custom-content: Custom module paths
- --action: Action type for existing installations
- --user-name, --communication-language, --document-output-language, --output-folder: Core config
- -y, --yes: Accept all defaults
When flags are provided, prompts are skipped. Missing values gracefully
fall back to interactive prompts.
* fix: complete non-interactive installation support
- Fix validation checks using truthy instead of !== true
- Add skipPrompts flag to skip module config prompts with --yes
- Add getDefaultModules() for automatic module selection with --yes
- Fix IDE selection to use array check instead of length check

Comprehensive fix for installer failures related to Astro/Starlight peer dependencies:
1. Update @astrojs/starlight from 0.37.0 to 0.37.5 (latest stable)
2. Add .npmrc with legacy-peer-deps to prevent peer dependency warnings
3. Update module installer to use --legacy-peer-deps flag for external modules
This resolves issues where:
- npm shows peer dependency warnings that users interpret as failures
- External module installations fail due to strict peer dependency checking
- Different npm versions handle peer dependencies inconsistently
Technical note: Starlight 0.37.x requires astro@^5.5.0, which is compatible
with astro@5.16.0 (^5.5.0 means >=5.5.0 <6.0.0). The issue was npm's warning
display, not actual incompatibility.

* docs: radical reduction of documentation scope for v6 beta
Archive and basement unreviewed content to ship a focused, minimal doc set.
Changes:
- Archive stale how-to workflow guides (will rewrite for v6)
- Archive outdated explanation and reference content
- Move unreviewed content to basement for later review
- Reorganize TEA docs into dedicated /tea/ section
- Add workflow-map visual reference page
- Simplify getting-started tutorial and sidebar navigation
- Add explanation pages: brainstorming, adversarial-review, party-mode,
quick-flow, advanced-elicitation
- Fix base URL handling for subdirectory deployments (GitHub Pages forks)
The goal is a minimal, accurate doc set for beta rather than
comprehensive but potentially misleading content.
