Major improvements:
- All agents now use consistent 2-letter menu codes (compound triggers)
- Phase 1-3 workflows updated to use planning_artifacts folder
- Windows installer fixed with inquirer multiselection resolution
- Chat and party mode auto-injected into all agents
- All agents pass comprehensive validation checks
- Restored agent files from Docusaurus merge
* fix: restore agent files accidentally modified in Docusaurus merge
Restores 25 agent files to their pre-merge state:
- Trigger format with shortcuts (WS, CH, BP, etc.) restored
- Fuzzy matching syntax restored
- BMB module: restores separate agent-builder, module-builder,
workflow-builder agents; removes consolidated bmad-builder
Also updates test to match restored trigger format.
Note: Schema validation needs update in follow-up commit.
* fix: normalize trigger fuzzy match format for schema validation
- Add dashes to fuzzy match text to match kebab-case triggers
- Add missing 'chat' kebab in CH triggers (CH or chat or fuzzy match on chat)
- Relax schema to allow 1-3 char shortcuts and skip shortcut derivation check
- Remove compound-wrong-shortcut test fixture (no longer validated)
All 24 agent files now pass schema validation.
* docs: remove dead links in test architecture documentation
* docs: updated test architecture documentation for clarity and consistenc
* docs: update test architecture documentation for clarity and consistency

* fix(bmgd): add workflow status update to game-architecture completion
The game-architecture workflow was not updating the bmgd-workflow-status.yaml
file on completion, unlike other BMGD workflows (narrative, brainstorm-game).
Changes:
- Add step 4 "Update Workflow Status" to update create-architecture status
- Renumber subsequent steps (5-8 → 6-9)
- Add success metric for workflow status update
- Add failure condition for missing status update
* feat(bmgd): add generate-project-context workflow for game development
Adds a new workflow to create optimized project-context.md files for AI agent
consistency in game development projects.
New workflow files:
- workflow.md: Main workflow entry point
- project-context-template.md: Template for context file
- steps/step-01-discover.md: Context discovery & initialization
- steps/step-02-generate.md: Rules generation with A/P/C menus
- steps/step-03-complete.md: Finalization & optimization
Integration:
- Added generate-project-context trigger to game-architect agent menu
- Added project context creation option to game-architecture completion step
- Renumbered steps 6-9 → 7-10 to accommodate new step 6
Adapted from BMM generate-project-context with game-specific:
- Engine patterns (Unity, Unreal, Godot)
- Performance and frame budget rules
- Platform-specific requirements
- Game testing patterns
* fix(bmgd): correct workflow-status filename and add sprint-planning update
- Fix all BMGD workflows to reference bmgd-workflow-status.yaml instead of bmm-workflow-status.yaml
- Add workflow-status update to sprint-planning workflow completion
Affected workflows:
- brainstorm-game (instructions.md, step-01-init.md, step-04-complete.md)
- game-brief (instructions.md)
- narrative (instructions-narrative.md, step-11-complete.md)
- game-architecture (instructions.md)
- sprint-planning (instructions.md)

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

* update 2024 to 2025
* fix(workflows): remove hardcoded years from WebSearch queries
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).
