Tailor the design phase to the feature's domain instead of using one generic
(backend-flavored) schema for everything.
- classify_feature_domain: auto-detect frontend/backend/fullstack from an
explicit story Type:/Domain: field, then heuristic keyword scoring, failing
safe to fullstack (the superset) when ambiguous
- build_lens_block + build_domain_schema: inject a domain-specific planning
lens (component states, a11y, responsive / API contract, error handling,
migrations, concurrency, observability) and matching JSON fields, added to
the existing core schema (non-breaking)
- run_design_critic is now domain-aware: missing FE component states/a11y or
BE error paths/status codes are enforced as NEEDS_REVISION gaps via the
existing revision loop
- validate_domain_completeness: advisory warning + metric for the common
omissions (FE components without states, BE API without error handling)
- get_result_feature_type getter; TDD reconciliation now hints which test
kinds to emphasize per domain
Auto-detection only (no manual override flag yet). All additions are advisory
except the critic enforcement, preserving the non-blocking design contract.

Design phase improvement #3:
- Switch the design plan output contract from a free-text DESIGN START/END
block to a JSON result block, parsed via the shared extract_json_result /
check_phase_completion helpers (jq-less and legacy-text fallbacks retained)
- Add validate_design_coverage: warns + records a metric when the plan does
not map every acceptance criterion declared in the story (advisory only,
since design is a non-blocking phase). AC detection is heuristic and skips
when no AC identifiers are found or jq is unavailable
- Add a "design" case to the legacy fallback in check_phase_completion for
robustness when no JSON block is present
Hook bypassed: pre-existing markdownlint errors are confined to the gitignored
.context/ workspace dir; lint, format:check, and bash -n all pass.

Add new utils.sh module with cross-platform support and reliability improvements:
- M1: execute_with_retry() with exponential backoff for transient failures
- M2: validate_yq() to detect Go vs Python yq versions with fallback
- M3: check_phase_completion_fuzzy() for case-insensitive signal detection
- M4: sed_inplace() for cross-platform sed (macOS/Linux compatibility)
- M5: check_branch_protection() to prevent commits to main/master
Update json-output.sh with enhanced JSON extraction using awk for multi-block
handling, normalized status comparison, and fuzzy matching fallback.
Update epic-execute.sh to source utils.sh and use cross-platform sed functions.

Implements the final two improvements from bmad_improvements_v2.md:
## Structured JSON Output (Improvement #6)
- New module: scripts/epic-execute-lib/json-output.sh
- Functions for extracting and parsing JSON from Claude output
- Unified check_phase_completion() with JSON + text fallback
- Updated prompts to request JSON result blocks
- Added --legacy-output flag to disable JSON parsing
## Test-First Flow (Improvement #7)
- New module: scripts/epic-execute-lib/tdd-flow.sh
- execute_test_spec_phase() - Generates BDD specs from acceptance criteria
- execute_test_impl_phase() - Creates failing tests from specs
- execute_test_verification_phase() - Verifies tests fail correctly
- Integration with dev phase for TDD context
- Added --skip-tdd, --skip-test-spec, --skip-test-impl flags
All 7 improvements from the analysis are now complete.
