Change all 34 RULE directives from bare "When interaction_style is"
to explicit "Check your stored {interaction_style} session variable
from activation step 2" with a fallback default to structured mode.
Addresses cynical review finding that LLMs struggle with implicit
natural-language conditionals and need explicit variable lookup
instructions plus failure mode handling.

Standardize all 27 template RULE lines to use "EVERY question"
phrasing. The free-form escape clause prevents over-restriction
while EVERY strengthens the default structured behavior.

Replace emphatic "EVERY...MUST...Do NOT...No exceptions" phrasing with
clearer natural language that includes an explicit free-form override.
Research shows single clear sentences with conditional logic outperform
stacked absolute directives for LLM compliance.
New wording: "questions to the user MUST use structured options with a
numbered list unless the workflow or user explicitly requests free-form
input."
Also extracts RULE from step 4 in gemini-task.toml to standalone.

- Replace Claude-specific AskUserQuestion in default-* templates with generic
numbered-list wording since these are universal fallbacks for all IDEs
- Fix hardcoded _bmad paths to use {{bmadFolderName}} in antigravity, rovodev,
trae, windsurf-workflow, and default-agent templates
- Extract RULE from numbered steps to standalone directive in gemini and
opencode workflow/tool templates
- Standardize RULE wording: add "Do NOT ask open-ended inline questions" to
all templates missing it for consistency
- Move RULE before execution instructions in default-task and rovodev templates
- Add {document_output_language} to activation-steps session variables
- Add interaction_style confirmation to gemini-agent preflight checklist
- Document all config settings including interaction_style in install guide

Isolated test branch with just IDE template rules and module.yaml config.
No core agent-component or workflow.xml changes.

This change removes the disable-model-invocation flag from all IDE installer
templates. By allowing model invocation, bmad help can now properly invoke
suggested workflows as direct skill calls, improving the user experience by
enabling automatic workflow execution when desired.
Prevents Claude from auto-invoking BMad skills without explicit user
request. Adds disable-model-invocation: true frontmatter to all
command templates and inline generators for Claude Code and Codex.
