refactor: Major v6 epic creation improvements and documentation overhaul
## Key Changes
### 1. Epic Creation Workflow Enhancements
- Added user-value focused epic structure principles (NO technical layer breakdown)
- Implemented multi-mode detection: CONTINUE, REPLACE, or UPDATE existing epics
- Added comprehensive anti-pattern examples showing wrong vs right epic breakdown
- Epics now created AFTER architecture for technically-informed story breakdown
- Added checkpoint protocol for interactive workflow progression
### 2. Removed Deprecated Solutioning Gate Check
- Deleted entire solutioning-gate-check workflow (682 lines)
- Replaced by new implementation-readiness workflow
- Cleaner separation of concerns in solutioning phase
### 3. PRD Template Simplification
- Removed hardcoded "Implementation Planning", "References", and "Next Steps" sections
- PRD now focuses purely on requirements, not workflow orchestration
- Epics/stories created as separate step after architecture
### 4. Documentation Overhaul (15+ docs updated)
- Updated quick-start guide with v6 workflow sequence
- Clarified that epics are created AFTER architecture, not during PRD
- Updated solutioning docs to reflect implementation-readiness pattern
- Improved agents-guide, brownfield-guide, enterprise docs
- Enhanced glossary, FAQ, and workflow reference documentation
### 5. Workflow Path Adjustments
- All 4 paths updated (enterprise/method × brownfield/greenfield)
- Version bumps across BMGD, BMM, and CIS workflow YAMLs
- Minor instruction file updates for consistency
### Files Changed
- 65 files total: 468 insertions, 978 deletions (net reduction of 510 lines)
- 4 files deleted (entire solutioning-gate-check workflow)
- 1 new directory added (implementation-readiness placeholder)

refactor: Major workflow enhancements - time estimates prohibition, progressive epic creation, and workflow simplification
## Key Changes
### 1. Time Estimate Prohibition (All Modules)
- Added critical warnings against providing ANY time estimates (hours/days/weeks/months)
- Acknowledges AI has fundamentally changed development speed
- Applied to 33 workflow instruction files across BMB, BMGD, BMM, and CIS modules
- Updated workflow creation guide with prohibition guidelines
### 2. Enhanced Epic Creation Workflow
- Added intelligent UPDATE vs CREATE mode detection
- Detects available context (UX, Architecture, Domain brief, Product brief)
- Progressive enhancement: creates basic epics, then enriches with UX/Architecture
- Living document approach with continuous updates
- Added 305 lines of sophisticated workflow logic
### 3. Workflow Status Initialization Refactoring
- Simplified from 893 to 318 lines (65% reduction)
- Streamlined state detection: CLEAN, PLANNING, ACTIVE, LEGACY, UNCLEAR
- Cleaner path selection and initialization logic
- Removed redundant complexity while maintaining functionality
### 4. Workflow Path Updates
- Updated all 4 workflow paths (enterprise/method × brownfield/greenfield)
- Added multiple optional epic creation steps at different phases:
- After PRD (basic structure)
- After UX Design (with interaction context)
- After Architecture (final with full context)
- Changed PRD output description from "with epics and stories" to "with FRs and NFRs"
### 5. Architecture & Innovation Updates
- Made epics input optional in architecture workflow (falls back to PRD FRs)
- Updated innovation strategy phases to remove time-based language
- Phases now: Immediate Impact → Foundation Building → Scale & Optimization
### Files Changed
- 33 instruction files updated with time estimate prohibition
- 2 workflow.yaml files updated (create-epics-and-stories, architecture)
- 4 workflow path YAML files updated
- 1 workflow creation guide enhanced
This refactor significantly improves workflow intelligence, removes harmful time-based planning assumptions, and creates more adaptive, context-aware workflows that better leverage AI capabilities.
