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).

Replaces year placeholder with context-appropriate wording:

- 'web searches' without year qualifier
- Updated failure mode to focus on using web searches

* refactor(workflows): make web search references platform-agnostic
- Remove hardcoded year references from WebSearch queries
- Replace `WebSearch` tool name with natural language "search the web"
- Soften "training data is stale" to "verify and supplement your knowledge"
- Add web search prerequisite check to research workflow
- Add platform-agnostic design note to CLAUDE.md
This framework targets 15+ agentic platforms, not just Claude Code.
Tool-specific syntax like `WebSearch:` won't work across all platforms.

## Major Features Added
- **Step-file workflow architecture**: Transform monolithic workflows into granular step files for improved LLM adherence and consistency
- **Multi-menu handler system**: New `handler-multi.xml` enables grouped menu items with fuzzy matching
- **Workflow compliance checker**: Added automated compliance validation for all workflows
- **Create/edit agent workflows**: New structured workflows for agent creation and editing
## Workflow Enhancements
- **Create-workflow**: Expanded from 6 to 14 detailed steps covering tools, design, compliance
- **Granular step execution**: Each workflow step now has dedicated files for focused execution
- **New documentation**: Added CSV data standards, intent vs prescriptive spectrum, and common tools reference
## Complete Migration Status
- **4 workflows fully migrated**: `create-agent`, `edit-agent`, `create-workflow`, and `edit-workflow` now use the new granular step-file architecture
- **Legacy transformation**: `edit-workflow` includes built-in capability to transform legacy single-file workflows into the new improved granular format
- **Future cleanup**: Legacy versions will be removed in a future commit after validation
## Schema Updates
- **Multi-menu support**: Updated agent schema to support `triggers` array for grouped menu items
- **Legacy compatibility**: Maintains backward compatibility with single `trigger` field
- **Discussion enhancements**: Added conversational_knowledge recommendation for discussion agents
## File Structure Changes
- Added: `create-agent/`, `edit-agent/`, `edit-workflow/`, `workflow-compliance-check/` workflows
- Added: Documentation standards and CSV reference files
- Refactored: `create-workflow/steps/` with detailed granular step files
## Handler Improvements
- Enhanced `handler-exec.xml` with clearer execution instructions
- Improved data passing context for executed files
- Better error handling and user guidance
This architectural change significantly improves workflow execution consistency across all LLM models by breaking complex processes into manageable, focused steps. The edit-workflow transformation tool ensures smooth migration of existing workflows to the new format.
