Double-quote delimiters around multi-line output template blocks are
visually ambiguous to humans (opening quote on one line, closing quote
many lines later) and confuse linters and LLM code reviewers into
filing false issues (see #1434).
A/B tested across 5 models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, Codex 5.2, Gemini):
removing quotes entirely causes Haiku to refuse instructions in 1/3
runs, but any explicit block delimiter works equally well. XML-style
output-block tags are the best fit: visually obvious boundaries,
self-documenting, linter-clean, and consistent with existing BMAD
XML tag conventions (step, action, check, template-output).
Relates to #1433
* 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- Archive outdated explanation and reference content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.

Group "go-on" options first (Done, Begin Dev), then reasoning options
(Advanced Elicitation, Party Mode, Adversarial Review).
Follows established pattern: most common action first, related options grouped.

* fix(quick-spec): change menu shortcuts to avoid Approve/Advanced confusion
Users were typing 'a' expecting to Approve (since it starts with A) but
triggering Advanced Elicitation instead. Changed shortcuts to:
- [C] Continue (was [Y] Approve)
- [E] Edit (was [C] Changes)
This keeps [A] for Advanced Elicitation consistent with other workflows.
Fixes user-reported UX issue with confusing menu shortcuts.

* fix(quick-dev): standardize menu shortcuts to use intuitive letters
- Change [T] to [P] for "Plan first" (P matches the label)
- Change [1][2][3] to [W][F][S] for findings resolution:
- [W] Walk through
- [F] Fix automatically
- [S] Skip
Consistent with letter-based menu pattern used elsewhere.

Update quick-spec and quick-dev workflow menus to match established standards:
- Uppercase all menu option letters ([A], [P], [C], [T], [E], [W], etc.)
- Add "Menu Handling Logic:" sections with IF/THEN structure
- Add "EXECUTION RULES:" sections with halt/wait behavior
- Add chat handling for checkpoint menus (A/P/C)
- Remove code blocks from Display patterns, use standard format
- Add header for adversarial review process block

Replace ambiguous "execute" terminology with explicit "Read fully and follow:"
phrasing across all workflow files to prevent LLM goal-seeking behavior where
models attempt to "achieve the end result" rather than following step-by-step
instructions verbatim.
Changes:
- Update 5 handler templates with canonical phrasing
- Replace ~150 INSTRUCTIONAL patterns across 87 workflow files
- Add "[Workflow] complete." prefix to 7 workflow endpoints
- Preserve BEHAVIORAL/STRUCTURAL patterns (agent descriptions, XML tags)
- Fix gitignore and markdownlint to ignore all node_modules directories
Closes#1372
