Merge c6e53dbbc7 into 0b9290789e

- Fix esc() bracket expression (] must be first in POSIX regex)
- Fix delete job: inline helper to avoid checkout of deleted ref
- Fix issue notifications: attribute close/reopen to actor, not author
- Simplify trunc() comment (remove false Unicode-safe claim)
- Smart truncation with wall-of-text detection
- Escape markdown and @mentions for safe display

+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+the official BMAD Discord server (https://discord.com/invite/gk8jAdXWmj) - DM a moderator or flag a post.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.

+
+## Phase 3: File Size, Formatting, and Data Validation Results
+
+### File Size Analysis
+
+**Workflow File:**
+
+- workflow.md: 2.9K - ✅ **Optimal** - Excellent performance and maintainability
+
+**Step Files Distribution:**
+
+- **Optimal (≤5K):** 3 files
+  - step-09-complete.md: 5.1K
+  - step-01-init.md: 5.3K
+- **Good (5K-7K):** 1 file
+  - step-04-plan-review.md: 6.6K

+
+**CSV Data Files:**
+
+- Total CSV files: 0
+- No data files present requiring validation
+
+### Markdown Formatting Validation
+
+**✅ Strengths:**
+
+- Consistent frontmatter structure across all files
+- Proper heading hierarchy (H1→H2→H3) maintained
+- Standardized section patterns across all steps
+- Proper code block formatting in 7 of 10 files
+- Consistent bullet point usage throughout
+
+**⚠️ Minor Issues:**
+
+- File size range significant (2.9K to 10K) but all within acceptable limits
+- step-07-build.md approaching concern threshold at 10K
+
+### Performance Impact Assessment
+
+**Overall workflow performance:** ✅ **Excellent**
+
+- All files optimized for performance
+- No files requiring immediate size optimization
+- Well-structured maintainable codebase
+- Professional markdown implementation
+
+**Most critical file size issue:** None - all files within acceptable ranges
+**Primary formatting concerns:** None significant - excellent consistency maintained
+
+## Phase 4: Intent vs Prescriptive Spectrum Analysis
+
+### Current Position Assessment
+
+**Analyzed Position:** Balanced Middle (leaning prescriptive)
+**Evidence:**
+
+- Highly structured step files with mandatory execution rules
+- Specific sequence enforcement and template compliance requirements
+- Conversational partnership model within rigid structural constraints
+- Limited creative adaptation but maintains collaborative dialogue
+  **Confidence Level:** High - Clear patterns in implementation demonstrate intentional structure
+
+### Expert Recommendation
+
+**Recommended Position:** Balanced Middle (slightly toward prescriptive)
+**Reasoning:**
+
+- Workflow creation needs systematic structure for BMAD compliance
+- Template requirements demand prescriptive elements
+- Creative aspects need room for user ownership
+- Best workflows emerge from structured collaboration
+  **Workflow Type Considerations:**
+- Primary purpose: Creating structured, repeatable workflows
+- User expectations: Reliable, consistent BMAD-compliant outputs
+- Success factors: Template compliance and systematic approach
+- Risk level: Medium - compliance critical for ecosystem coherence
+
+### User Decision
+
+**Selected Position:** Option 1 - Keep Current Position (Balanced Middle leaning prescriptive)
+**Rationale:** User prefers to maintain current structured approach
+**Implementation Guidance:**
+
+- Continue with current balance of structure and collaborative dialogue
+- Maintain template compliance requirements
+- Preserve systematic execution patterns
+- Keep conversational elements within prescribed framework
+
+### Spectrum Validation Results
+
+✅ Spectrum position is intentional and understood
+✅ User educated on implications of their choice
+✅ Implementation guidance provided for maintaining position
+✅ Decision documented for future reference
+
+## Phase 5: Web Search & Subprocess Optimization Analysis
+
+### Web Search Optimization
+
+**Unnecessary Searches Identified:** 1
+
+- Step 6 loads 5+ template files individually - these are static templates that rarely change
+  **Essential Searches to Keep:** 2
+- CSV tool database in Step 3 (dynamic data)
+- Reference workflow example in Step 2 (concrete patterns)
+  **Optimization Recommendations:**
+- Implement template caching to eliminate repeated file loads
+- Use selective CSV loading based on workflow type
+  **Estimated Time Savings:** 5-7 seconds per workflow execution
+
+### Subprocess Optimization Opportunities
+
+**Parallel Processing:** 2 major opportunities identified
+
+1. **Step 3 + Step 5 Parallelization:** Tools configuration and output format design can run simultaneously
+   - Savings: 5-10 minutes per workflow
+2. **Background Template Loading:** Pre-load templates during Step 1 idle time
+   - Savings: Eliminate design-phase delays
+
+**Batch Processing:** 1 grouping opportunity
+
+- Parallel file generation in Step 7 (workflow.md, step files, templates)
+- Savings: 60-80% reduction in build time for multi-step workflows
+
+**Background Processing:** 2 task opportunities
+
+- Template pre-loading during initialization
+- File generation coordination during build phase
+
+**Performance Improvement:** 40-60% estimated overall improvement
+
+### Resource Efficiency Analysis
+
+**Context Optimization:**
+
+- JIT context loading: 40-60% reduction in token usage
+- Reference content deduplication: 8,000-12,000 token savings
+- Step file size reduction: 30-50% smaller files
+
+**LLM Resource Usage:**
+
+- Smart context pruning by workflow phase
+- Compact step instructions with external references
+- Selective context loading based on current phase
+
+**User Experience Impact:**
+
+- Significantly faster workflow creation (15-25 minutes saved)
+- More responsive interaction patterns
+- Reduced waiting times during critical phases
+
+### Implementation Recommendations
+
+**Immediate Actions (High Impact, Low Risk):**
+
+1. Implement template caching in workflow.md frontmatter
+2. Optimize CSV loading with category filtering
+3. Reduce step file sizes by moving examples to reference files
+
+**Strategic Improvements (High Impact, Medium Risk):**
+
+1. Parallelize Step 3 and Step 5 execution
+2. Implement JIT context loading by phase
+3. Background template pre-loading
+
+**Future Enhancements (Highest Impact, Higher Risk):**
+
+1. Parallel file generation with sub-process coordination
+2. Smart context pruning across workflow phases
+3. Complete reference deduplication system
+
+## Phase 6: Holistic Workflow Analysis Results
+
+### Flow Validation
+
+**Completion Path Analysis:**
+
+- ✅ All steps have clear continuation paths
+- ✅ No orphaned steps or dead ends
+- ⚠️ Minor issue: Steps 07 and 09 use non-standard menu patterns
+
+**Sequential Logic:**
+
+- ✅ Logical workflow creation progression maintained
+- ✅ Dependencies properly structured
+- ⚠️ Steps 05-06 could potentially be consolidated
+
+### Goal Alignment
+
+**Alignment Score:** 85%
+
+**Stated Goal:** "Create structured, repeatable standalone workflows through collaborative conversation and step-by-step guidance"
+
+**Actual Implementation:** Creates structured workflows with heavy emphasis on template compliance and systematic validation
+
+**Gap Analysis:**
+
+- Workflow emphasizes structure over creativity (aligned with spectrum choice)
+- Template compliance heavier than user guidance (may need balance adjustment)
+
+### Meta-Workflow Failure Analysis
+
+**Issues That Should Have Been Prevented by create-workflow:**
+
+1. Missing outputFile variables in all 9 steps (Critical)
+2. Non-standard menu patterns in Steps 07 and 09 (Major)
+3. Missing Task/Template/Data references across all steps (Major)
+4. Path variable inconsistencies throughout workflow (Major)
+5. Step naming violations for Steps 05-09 (Major)
+6. Core Principles text deviation from template (Critical)
+
+**Recommended Meta-Workflow Improvements:**
+
+- Add frontmatter completeness validation during creation
+- Implement path variable format checking
+- Include menu pattern enforcement validation
+- Add Intent vs Prescriptive spectrum selection in Step 01
+- Validate template compliance before finalization

+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator

+
+### 4. Collect Feedback and Refinements
+
+"**Review Feedback:**
+
+Please review each section and provide feedback:
+
+1. What looks good and should stay as-is?
+2. What needs modification or refinement?
+3. What's missing that should be added?
+4. Anything unclear or confusing?"

+- Modify requirements section as needed
+- Update tools configuration if changed
+- Add any missing specifications
+- Ensure all changes are clearly documented
+
+### 6. Output Document Check
+
+"**Output Document Check:**
+
+Before we proceed to design, does your workflow produce any output documents or files?
+
+Based on your requirements:
+
+- [Analyze if workflow produces documents/files]
+- Consider: Does it create reports, forms, stories, or any persistent output?"
+
+**If NO:**
+"Great! Your workflow focuses on actions/interactions without document output. We'll proceed directly to designing the workflow steps."
+
+**If YES:**
+"Perfect! Let's design your output format to ensure your workflow produces exactly what you need."
+
+### 7. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue to Design
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+- Use menu handling logic section below
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:

+# Step 5: Output Format Design
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+To design and document the output format for workflows that produce documents or files, determining whether they need strict templates or flexible formatting.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a workflow architect and output format specialist
+- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- ✅ You bring expertise in document design and template creation
+- ✅ User brings their specific output requirements and preferences
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus ONLY on output format design
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to design workflow steps in this step
+- 💬 Help user understand the format spectrum
+- 🚫 DO NOT proceed without clear format requirements
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Guide user through format spectrum with examples
+- 💾 Document format decisions in workflow plan
+- 📖 Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]` before loading next step
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until user selects 'C'
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Approved plan from step 4 is available
+- Focus ONLY on output document formatting
+- Skip this step if workflow produces no documents
+- This step only runs when documents need structure
+
+## OUTPUT FORMAT DESIGN PROCESS:
+
+### 1. Initialize Output Format Discussion
+
+"**Designing Your Output Format**
+
+Based on your approved plan, your workflow will produce output documents. Let's design how these outputs should be formatted."
+
+### 2. Present the Format Spectrum
+
+"**Output Format Spectrum - Where does your workflow fit?**
+
+**Strictly Structured Examples:**
+
+- Government forms - exact fields, precise positions
+- Legal documents - must follow specific templates
+- Technical specifications - required sections, specific formats
+- Compliance reports - mandatory fields, validation rules
+
+**Structured Examples:**
+
+- Project reports - required sections, flexible content
+- Business proposals - consistent format, customizable sections
+- Technical documentation - standard structure, adaptable content
+- Research papers - IMRAD format, discipline-specific variations
+
+**Semi-structured Examples:**
+
+- Character sheets (D&D) - core stats + flexible background
+- Lesson plans - required components, flexible delivery
+- Recipes - ingredients/method format, flexible descriptions
+- Meeting minutes - agenda/attendees/actions, flexible details
+
+**Free-form Examples:**
+
+- Creative stories - narrative flow, minimal structure
+- Blog posts - title/body, organic organization
+- Personal journals - date/entry, free expression
+- Brainstorming outputs - ideas, flexible organization"
+
+### 3. Determine Format Type
+
+"**Which format type best fits your workflow?**
+
+1. **Strict Template** - Must follow exact format with specific fields
+2. **Structured** - Required sections but flexible within each
+3. **Semi-structured** - Core sections plus optional additions
+4. **Free-form** - Content-driven with minimal structure
+
+Please choose 1-4:"
+
+### 4. Deep Dive Based on Choice
+
+#### IF Strict Template (Choice 1):
+
+"**Strict Template Design**
+
+You need exact formatting. Let's define your requirements:
+
+**Template Source Options:**
+A. Upload existing template/image to follow
+B. Create new template from scratch
+C. Use standard form (e.g., government, industry)
+D. AI proposes template based on your needs
+
+**Template Requirements:**
+
+- Exact field names and positions
+- Required vs optional fields
+- Validation rules
+- File format (PDF, DOCX, etc.)
+- Any legal/compliance considerations"
+
+#### IF Structured (Choice 2):
+
+"**Structured Document Design**
+
+You need consistent sections with flexibility:
+
+**Section Definition:**
+
+- What sections are required?
+- Any optional sections?
+- Section ordering rules?
+- Cross-document consistency needs?
+
+**Format Guidelines:**
+
+- Any formatting standards (APA, MLA, corporate)?
+- Section header styles?
+- Content organization principles?"
+
+#### IF Semi-structured (Choice 3):
+
+"**Semi-structured Design**
+
+Core sections with flexibility:
+
+**Core Components:**
+
+- What information must always appear?
+- Which parts can vary?
+- Any organizational preferences?
+
+**Polishing Options:**
+
+- Would you like automatic TOC generation?
+- Summary section at the end?
+- Consistent formatting options?"
+
+#### IF Free-form (Choice 4):
+
+"**Free-form Content Design**
+
+Focus on content with minimal structure:
+
+**Organization Needs:**
+
+- Basic headers for readability?
+- Date/title information?
+- Any categorization needs?
+
+**Final Polish Options:**
+
+- Auto-generated summary?
+- TOC based on content?
+- Formatting for readability?"
+
+### 5. Template Creation (if applicable)
+
+For Strict/Structured workflows:
+
+"**Template Creation Approach:**
+
+A. **Design Together** - We'll create the template step by step
+B. **AI Proposes** - I'll suggest a structure based on your needs
+C. **Import Existing** - Use/upload your existing template
+
+Which approach would you prefer?"
+
+If A or B:
+
+- Design/create template sections
+- Define placeholders
+- Specify field types and validation
+- Document template structure in plan
+
+If C:
+
+- Request file upload or detailed description
+- Analyze template structure
+- Document requirements
+
+### 6. Document Format Decisions
+
+Append to {workflowPlanFile}:
+
+```markdown
+## Output Format Design
+
+**Format Type**: [Strict/Structured/Semi-structured/Free-form]
+
+**Output Requirements**:
+
+- Document type: [report/form/story/etc]
+- File format: [PDF/MD/DOCX/etc]
+- Frequency: [single/batch/continuous]
+
+**Structure Specifications**:
+[Detailed structure based on format type]
+
+**Template Information**:
+
+- Template source: [created/imported/standard]
+- Template file: [path if applicable]
+- Placeholders: [list if applicable]
+
+**Special Considerations**:
+
+- Legal/compliance requirements
+- Validation needs
+- Accessibility requirements

-### 5. Confirm or Revise
-
-Based on feedback:
-
-- If approved: Proceed to build step
-- If changes needed: Go back to design step with specific feedback
-- If major revisions: Consider going back to requirements step
-
-## REVIEW CHECKPOINTS:
-
-### Requirements Coverage
-
-- [ ] All user requirements addressed
-- [ ] Success criteria defined
-- [ ] Technical constraints considered
-- [ ] User interaction level appropriate
-
-### Design Quality
-
-- [ ] Step flow is logical
-- [ ] Instruction style chosen appropriately
-- [ ] Menu systems designed properly
-- [ ] Error handling included
-
-### Implementation Feasibility
-
-- [ ] File structure is clear
-- [ ] Target location confirmed
-- [ ] Templates identified correctly
-- [ ] Dependencies documented
-
-## PLAN APPROVAL:
-
-### Explicit Confirmation Required
-
-Before proceeding to build, get explicit confirmation:
-"Based on this plan, I will generate:
-
-- [List of files]
-  in [target location]"
-
-Ready to proceed when you are! Select your option below to build or modify the plan.
-
-### 6. Present MENU OPTIONS
-
-Display: **Review Complete - Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue to Build
-
-#### EXECUTION RULES:
-
-- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
-- ONLY proceed to build step with explicit 'C' selection AND approval
-- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
-- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
-- Use menu handling logic section below
-
-#### Menu Handling Logic:
-
-- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
-- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
-- IF C: AND user has approved the plan, update plan frontmatter, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
-- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#6-present-menu-options)
-
-## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
-
-ONLY WHEN C is selected AND user has explicitly approved the plan, will you then update the plan frontmatter and load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile} to execute and begin workflow file generation step.
-
----
-
-## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
-
-### ✅ SUCCESS:
-
-- Complete plan presented clearly
-- All user questions answered
-- Feedback collected and documented
-- Explicit approval received (or revisions planned)
-- Plan ready for implementation
-
-### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
-
-- Skipping the review presentation
-- Proceeding without explicit approval
-- Not answering user questions
-- Rushing through the review process
-
-**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
