fix: reorder mergeModuleHelpCatalogs after generateManifests

The mergeModuleHelpCatalogs function depends on agent-manifest.csv
being populated, but was being called before generateManifests.
This caused new modules' agent info to be empty in the help catalog.

Fixes issue where game-dev-studio workflows weren't appearing
in bmad-help.csv and IDE commands weren't being generated.

-   - execute the `{validationFlow}` workflow if selected or start a new chat with me and select the validate PRD menu item
-   - Ensures PRD is complete and ready
-   - Identifies any gaps or issues
-   - Validates before committing to architecture/design
-
-2. **UX Design:** `workflow create-ux-design` with the UX-Designer Agent (if UI exists)
-   - User journey insights from step-04 inform interaction design
-   - Functional requirements from step-09 define design scope
-   - Polish-optimized document provides clear design requirements
-
-3. **Technical Architecture:** `workflow create-architecture` with the Architect Agent
-   - Project-type requirements from step-07 guide technical decisions
-   - Non-functional requirements from step-10 inform architecture choices
-   - Functional requirements define system capabilities

-## YOUR TASK:
-
-Discover the project's technology stack, existing patterns, and critical implementation rules that AI agents must follow when writing code.
-
-## DISCOVERY SEQUENCE:
-
-### 1. Check for Existing Project Context
-
-First, check if project context already exists:
-
-- Look for file at `{project_knowledge}/project-context.md or {project-root}/**/project-context.md`
-- If exists: Read complete file to understand existing rules
-- Present to user: "Found existing project context with {number_of_sections} sections. Would you like to update this or create a new one?"
-
-### 2. Discover Project Technology Stack
-
-Load and analyze project files to identify technologies:
-
-**Architecture Document:**
-
-- Look for `{planning_artifacts}/architecture.md`
-- Extract technology choices with specific versions
-- Note architectural decisions that affect implementation
-
-**Package Files:**
-
-- Check for `package.json`, `requirements.txt`, `Cargo.toml`, etc.
-- Extract exact versions of all dependencies
-- Note development vs production dependencies
-
-**Configuration Files:**
-
-- Look for project language specific configs ( example: `tsconfig.json`)
-- Build tool configs (webpack, vite, next.config.js, etc.)
-- Linting and formatting configs (.eslintrc, .prettierrc, etc.)
-- Testing configurations (jest.config.js, vitest.config.ts, etc.)
-
-### 3. Identify Existing Code Patterns
-
-Search through existing codebase for patterns:
-
-**Naming Conventions:**
-
-- File naming patterns (PascalCase, kebab-case, etc.)
-- Component/function naming conventions
-- Variable naming patterns
-- Test file naming patterns
-
-**Code Organization:**
-
-- How components are structured
-- Where utilities and helpers are placed
-- How services are organized
-- Test organization patterns
-
-**Documentation Patterns:**
-
-- Comment styles and conventions
-- Documentation requirements
-- README and API doc patterns
-
-### 4. Extract Critical Implementation Rules
-
-Look for rules that AI agents might miss:
-
-**Language-Specific Rules:**
-
-- TypeScript strict mode requirements
-- Import/export conventions
-- Async/await vs Promise usage patterns
-- Error handling patterns specific to the language
-
-**Framework-Specific Rules:**
-
-- React hooks usage patterns
-- API route conventions
-- Middleware usage patterns
-- State management patterns
-
-**Testing Rules:**
-
-- Test structure requirements
-- Mock usage conventions
-- Integration vs unit test boundaries
-- Coverage requirements
-
-**Development Workflow Rules:**
-
-- Branch naming conventions
-- Commit message patterns
-- PR review requirements
-- Deployment procedures
-
-### 5. Initialize Project Context Document
-
-Based on discovery, create or update the context document:
-
-#### A. Fresh Document Setup (if no existing context)
-
-Copy template from `{installed_path}/project-context-template.md` to `{output_folder}/project-context.md`
-Initialize frontmatter fields.
-
-#### B. Existing Document Update
-
-Load existing context and prepare for updates
-Set frontmatter `sections_completed` to track what will be updated
-

-
-#### Content Structure:
-
-```markdown
-## Technology Stack & Versions
-
-{{concise_technology_list_with_exact_versions}}
-
-## Critical Implementation Rules
-
-### Language-Specific Rules
-
-{{bullet_points_of_critical_language_rules}}

-{{bullet_points_of_workflow_patterns}}
-
-### Critical Don't-Miss Rules
-
-{{bullet_points_of_anti_patterns_and_edge_cases}}
-```
-
-### 9. Present Content and Menu
-
-After each category, show the generated rules and present choices:
-
-"I've drafted the {{category_name}} rules for your project context.
-
-**Here's what I'll add:**
-
-[Show the complete markdown content for this category]
-
-**What would you like to do?**
-[A] Advanced Elicitation - Explore nuanced rules for this category
-[P] Party Mode - Review from different implementation perspectives
-[C] Continue - Save these rules and move to next category"
-
-### 10. Handle Menu Selection
-
-#### If 'A' (Advanced Elicitation):
-
-- Execute advanced-elicitation.xml with current category rules
-- Process enhanced rules that come back
-- Ask user: "Accept these enhanced rules for {{category}}? (y/n)"
-- If yes: Update content, then return to A/P/C menu
-- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
-
-#### If 'P' (Party Mode):
-
-- Execute party-mode workflow with category rules context
-- Process collaborative insights on implementation patterns
-- Ask user: "Accept these changes to {{category}} rules? (y/n)"
-- If yes: Update content, then return to A/P/C menu
-- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
-
-#### If 'C' (Continue):
-
-- Save the current category content to project context file
-- Update frontmatter: `sections_completed: [...]`
-- Proceed to next category or step-03 if complete
-
-## APPEND TO PROJECT CONTEXT:
-
-When user selects 'C' for a category, append the content directly to `{output_folder}/project-context.md` using the structure from step 8.
-
-## SUCCESS METRICS:
-
-✅ All critical technology versions accurately documented
-✅ Language-specific rules cover unobvious patterns
-✅ Framework rules capture project-specific conventions
-✅ Testing rules ensure consistent test quality
-✅ Code quality rules maintain project standards
-✅ Workflow rules prevent implementation conflicts
-✅ Content is lean and optimized for LLM context
-✅ A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly for each category
-
-## FAILURE MODES:
-
-❌ Including obvious rules that agents already know
-❌ Making content too verbose for LLM context efficiency
-❌ Missing critical anti-patterns or edge cases
-❌ Not getting user validation for each rule category
-❌ Not documenting exact versions and configurations
-❌ Not presenting A/P/C menu after content generation
-
-## NEXT STEP:
-
-After completing all rule categories and user selects 'C' for the final category, load `./step-03-complete.md` to finalize the project context file.
-
-Remember: Do NOT proceed to step-03 until all categories are complete and user explicitly selects 'C' for each!

+# Task: BMAD Help
+
+## KEY RULES
+
+- **Empty `phase` = anytime** — Universal tools work regardless of workflow state
+- **Numbered phases indicate sequence** — Phases like `1-discover` → `2-define` → `3-build` → `4-ship` flow in order (naming varies by module)
+- **Stay in module** — Guide through the active module's workflow based on phase+sequence ordering
+- **Descriptions contain routing** — Read for alternate paths (e.g., "back to previous if fixes needed")
+- **`required=true` blocks progress** — Required workflows must complete before proceeding to later phases
+- **Artifacts reveal completion** — Search resolved output paths for `outputs` patterns, fuzzy-match found files to workflow rows
+
+## MODULE DETECTION
+
+- **Empty `module` column** → universal tools (work across all modules)
+- **Named `module`** → module-specific workflows
+
+Detect the active module from conversation context, recent workflows, or user query keywords. If ambiguous, ask the user.
+
+## INPUT ANALYSIS
+
+Determine what was just completed:
+- Did someone state they completed something? Proceed as if that was the input.
+- Was a workflow just completed in this conversation? Proceed as if that was the input.
+- Search resolved artifact locations for files; fuzzy-match to workflow `outputs` patterns.
+- If an `index.md` exists, read it for additional context.
+- If still unclear, ask: "What workflow did you most recently complete?"
+
+## EXECUTION
+
+1. **Load catalog** — Load `{project-root}/_bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv`
+
+2. **Resolve output locations** — Scan each folder under `_bmad/` (except `_config`) for `config.yaml`. For each workflow row, resolve its `output-location` variables against that module's config so artifact paths can be searched.
+
+3. **Analyze input** — Task may provide a workflow name/code, conversational phrase, or nothing. Infer what was just completed using INPUT ANALYSIS above.
+
+4. **Detect active module** — Use MODULE DETECTION above to determine which module the user is working in.
+
+5. **Present recommendations** — Show next steps based on completed workflows, phase/sequence ordering (KEY RULES), and artifact detection. Format per the following
+
+## RECOMMENDED OUTPUT FORMAT
+
+   **Optional items first** — List optional workflows until a required step is reached
+   **Required items next** — List the next required workflow
+   For each item show:
+   - Workflow **name**
+   - **Command** (prefixed with `/`, e.g., `/bmad:example:build-prototype`)
+   - **Agent** title and display name from the CSV (e.g., "🎨 Alex (Designer)")
+   - Brief **description**
+
+   ### Additional response output guidance to convey:
+   - Run each workflow in a **fresh context window**
+   - Load the agent using (`/` + `agent-command`), or run the workflow command directly
+   - For **validation workflows**: recommend using a different high-quality LLM if available
+   - For conversational requests: match the user's tone while presenting clearly
+
+6. Return to the calling process after presenting recommendations.

+# IDE Installer Standardization Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+Standardize IDE installers to use **flat file naming** and centralize duplicated code in shared utilities.
+
+**Key Rule: Only folder-based IDEs convert to colon format. IDEs already using dashes keep using dashes.**
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### File Structure Patterns
+
+| IDE | Current Pattern | Path Format |
+|-----|-----------------|-------------|
+| **claude-code** | Hierarchical | `.claude/commands/bmad/{module}/agents/{name}.md` |
+| **cursor** | Hierarchical | `.cursor/commands/bmad/{module}/agents/{name}.md` |
+| **crush** | Hierarchical | `.crush/commands/bmad/{module}/agents/{name}.md` |
+| **antigravity** | Flattened (dashes) | `.agent/workflows/bmad-module-agents-name.md` |
+| **codex** | Flattened (dashes) | `~/.codex/prompts/bmad-module-agents-name.md` |
+| **cline** | Flattened (dashes) | `.clinerules/workflows/bmad-module-type-name.md` |
+| **roo** | Flattened (dashes) | `.roo/commands/bmad-{module}-agent-{name}.md` |
+| **auggie** | Hybrid | `.augment/commands/bmad/agents/{module}-{name}.md` |
+| **iflow** | Hybrid | `.iflow/commands/bmad/agents/{module}-{name}.md` |
+| **trae** | Different (rules) | `.trae/rules/bmad-agent-{module}-{name}.md` |
+| **github-copilot** | Different (agents) | `.github/agents/bmd-custom-{module}-{name}.agent.md` |
+
+### Shared Generators (in `/shared`)
+
+1. `agent-command-generator.js` - generates agent launchers
+2. `task-tool-command-generator.js` - generates task/tool commands
+3. `workflow-command-generator.js` - generates workflow commands
+
+All currently create artifacts with **nested relative paths** like `{module}/agents/{name}.md`
+
+### Code Duplication Issues
+
+1. **Flattening logic** duplicated in multiple IDEs
+2. **Agent launcher content creation** duplicated
+3. **Path transformation** duplicated
+
+## Target Standardization
+
+### For Folder-Based IDEs (convert to colon format)
+
+**IDEs affected:** claude-code, cursor, crush
+
+```
+Format: bmad:{module}:{type}:{name}.md
+
+Examples:
+- Agent:      bmad:bmm:agents:pm.md
+- Agent:      bmad:core:agents:dev.md
+- Workflow:   bmad:bmm:workflows:correct-course.md
+- Task:       bmad:bmm:tasks:bmad-help.md
+- Tool:       bmad:core:tools:code-review.md
+- Custom:     bmad:custom:agents:fred-commit-poet.md
+```
+
+### For Already-Flat IDEs (keep using dashes)
+
+**IDEs affected:** antigravity, codex, cline, roo
+
+```
+Format: bmad-{module}-{type}-{name}.md
+
+Examples:
+- Agent:      bmad-bmm-agents-pm.md
+- Workflow:   bmad-bmm-workflows-correct-course.md
+- Task:       bmad-bmm-tasks-bmad-help.md
+- Custom:     bmad-custom-agents-fred-commit-poet.md
+```
+
+### For Hybrid IDEs (keep as-is)
+
+**IDEs affected:** auggie, iflow
+
+These use `{module}-{name}.md` format within subdirectories - keep as-is.
+
+### Skip (drastically different)
+
+**IDEs affected:** trae, github-copilot
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Create Shared Utility
+
+**File:** `shared/path-utils.js`
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Convert hierarchical path to flat colon-separated name (for folder-based IDEs)
+ * @param {string} module - Module name (e.g., 'bmm', 'core')
+ * @param {string} type - Artifact type ('agents', 'workflows', 'tasks', 'tools')
+ * @param {string} name - Artifact name (e.g., 'pm', 'correct-course')
+ * @returns {string} Flat filename like 'bmad:bmm:agents:pm.md'
+ */
+function toColonName(module, type, name) {
+  return `bmad:${module}:${type}:${name}.md`;
+}
+
+/**
+ * Convert relative path to flat colon-separated name (for folder-based IDEs)

+function toColonPath(relativePath) {
+  const withoutExt = relativePath.replace('.md', '');
+  const parts = withoutExt.split(/[\/\\]/);
+  return `bmad:${parts.join(':')}.md`;
+}
+
+/**
+ * Convert hierarchical path to flat dash-separated name (for flat IDEs)
+ * @param {string} relativePath - Path like 'bmm/agents/pm.md'
+ * @returns {string} Flat filename like 'bmad-bmm-agents-pm.md'
+ */
+function toDashPath(relativePath) {
+  const withoutExt = relativePath.replace('.md', '');
+  const parts = withoutExt.split(/[\/\\]/);
+  return `bmad-${parts.join('-')}.md`;
+}
+
+/**
+ * Create custom agent colon name
+ * @param {string} agentName - Custom agent name
+ * @returns {string} Flat filename like 'bmad:custom:agents:fred-commit-poet.md'
+ */
+function customAgentColonName(agentName) {
+  return `bmad:custom:agents:${agentName}.md`;
+}
+
+/**
+ * Create custom agent dash name
+ * @param {string} agentName - Custom agent name
+ * @returns {string} Flat filename like 'bmad-custom-agents-fred-commit-poet.md'
+ */
+function customAgentDashName(agentName) {
+  return `bmad-custom-agents-${agentName}.md`;
+}
+
+module.exports = {
+  toColonName,
+  toColonPath,
+  toDashPath,
+  customAgentColonName,
+  customAgentDashName,
+};
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Update Shared Generators
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `shared/agent-command-generator.js`
+- `shared/task-tool-command-generator.js`
+- `shared/workflow-command-generator.js`
+
+**Changes:**
+1. Import path utilities
+2. Change `relativePath` to use flat format
+3. Add method `writeColonArtifacts()` for folder-based IDEs
+4. Add method `writeDashArtifacts()` for flat IDEs
+
+### Phase 3: Update Folder-Based IDEs
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `claude-code.js`
+- `cursor.js`
+- `crush.js`
+
+**Changes:**
+1. Import `toColonPath`, `customAgentColonName` from path-utils
+2. Change from hierarchical to flat colon naming
+3. Update cleanup to handle flat structure
+
+### Phase 4: Update Flat IDEs
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `antigravity.js`
+- `codex.js`
+- `cline.js`
+- `roo.js`
+
+**Changes:**
+1. Import `toDashPath`, `customAgentDashName` from path-utils
+2. Replace local `flattenFilename()` with shared `toDashPath()`
+
+### Phase 5: Update Base Class
+
+**File:** `_base-ide.js`
+
+**Changes:**
+1. Mark `flattenFilename()` as `@deprecated`
+2. Add comment pointing to new path-utils
+
+## Migration Checklist
+

+
+## Notes
+
+1. **Keep segments**: agents, workflows, tasks, tools all become part of the flat name
+2. **Colon vs Dash**: Colons for folder-based IDEs converting to flat, dashes for already-flat IDEs
+3. **Custom agents**: Follow the same pattern as regular agents
+4. **Backward compatibility**: Cleanup will remove old folder structure
