This major feature evolves the Developer Agent from a simple task executor into a context-aware engineer by introducing a new, intelligent workflow and a persistent project memory system.
The new workflow, encapsulated in the `implement-story-with-review` task, consists of two primary phases:
1. **Analysis & Review Phase:**
- Before implementation, the agent proactively analyzes the codebase using semantic search to find reusable patterns and components.
- It assesses story and task complexity against configurable thresholds (`agentThresholdStory`, `agentThresholdTask` in `core-config.yml`).
- For complex tasks, it enters a "Review Mode" and uses an internal "Reviewer" persona to self-critique its own code for duplication, errors, and standards alignment before proceeding.
2. **Memory Synthesis Phase:**
- Upon successfully completing a story, the agent automatically performs a holistic scan of its own developer notes.
- It distills explicit "Lessons Learned" and implicit knowledge into general, actionable rules.
- These memories are validated against existing knowledge to prevent contradictions and are then intelligently upserted into a new, shared `bmad-project-memory.md` file.
**Supporting System Changes:**
- **Orchestrator:** The `bmad-orchestrator` now loads the `bmad-project-memory.md` file on startup, providing all agents with shared, evolving project context.
- **Installer:** The BMAD installation process has been updated to correctly scaffold the new `.bmad-core/data/bmad-project-memory.md` file into new projects, ensuring the feature is available out-of-the-box.
This creates a powerful, real-time learning loop, enabling the AI team to improve and adapt based on project-specific experience, leading to higher-quality and more consistent code.
- Add markdownExploder setting to core-config.yml
- Update shard-doc task to use md-tree command when enabled
- Implement proper fallback handling when tool is unavailable
- Update core-config structure to remove nested wrapper
- Fix field naming to use camelCase throughout

This commit represents a significant milestone in the BMAD-METHOD v4 framework restructuring effort, focusing on cleaning up legacy v3 content and enhancing IDE agent configurations.
Key Changes:
1. Legacy Content Cleanup:
- Removed entire _old/ directory containing v3 framework content (55 files, ~6900 lines)
- Deleted deprecated checklists, personas, tasks, and templates from v3
- Cleaned up obsolete web orchestrator configurations
2. IDE Agent Enhancements:
- Added new IDE agent configurations for all major roles:
* analyst.ide.md - Business Analyst agent
* architect.ide.md - Architecture specialist agent
* pm.ide.md - Product Manager agent
* po.ide.md - Product Owner agent
* devops.ide.md - DevOps/Platform Engineer agent (replacing devops-pe.ide.md)
- Updated dev.ide.md with improved structure and commands
- Enhanced sm.ide.md with proper persona naming (Bob)
3. New Persona Definitions:
- Added missing persona files: dev.md, devops.md, qa.md
- Standardized persona format across all roles
4. QA Agent Addition:
- Added qa.yml configuration for Quality Assurance agent
5. IDE Integration Improvements:
- Added .claude/commands/ directory for Claude Code command definitions
- Added .cursor/rules/ for Cursor IDE integration
- Created agent-switcher.ide.md utility for seamless agent switching
6. Command Updates:
- Renamed /exit command to /exit-agent for clarity and consistency
7. Build System Updates:
- Minor fixes to web-builder.js for improved bundle generation
This restructuring aligns with the v4 architecture goals of modularity, reusability, and improved developer experience across different IDE environments.
