Design phase improvement #7:
- Add build_planned_test_files_context, which extracts the test_files the
design phase already planned (resume-safe: in-memory then persisted file)
- Inject it into the test-spec phase prompt so TDD reuses the planned test
files and paths instead of independently deciding the test surface, and
flags any deviation
Returns empty (no-op) when there is no plan, no test_files, or jq is absent.

Sync functional improvements developed in revive-dev into BMAD-METHOD
fork while preserving repo-specific paths:
- Add memory-safe Claude helpers (run_claude_to_file, read_phase_tail)
that pipe output to temp files instead of bash variables, preventing
GB-scale RAM usage during long epic executions
- Add kill_orphaned_test_processes() to clean up zombie jest/vitest/
playwright/pytest processes between stories and on exit
- Replace per-call `env -u CLAUDECODE` with global `unset CLAUDECODE`
at script start for cleaner nested session support
- Port metrics resume/accumulation logic that restores counters from
existing YAML on resumed runs and accumulates duration
- Add log truncation between stories (64KB cap) to prevent unbounded
log growth across multi-story runs
- Add log persistence and cleanup trap to epic-chain.sh
- Revert regression-gate.sh test commands to direct execution (matching
revive-dev pattern)

- Wrap all Claude CLI subprocess calls with `env -u CLAUDECODE` to prevent
parent env var interference with child processes (17 sites across 7 files)
- Add `flush_log_to_repo()` to epic-execute.sh for incremental log persistence
after each story completes or fails (prevents log loss on interruption)
- Add portable `run_with_timeout` utility to utils.sh and wrap all test
invocations in epic-execute.sh and regression-gate.sh with configurable
timeout (default 120s via REGRESSION_TEST_TIMEOUT)

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.
