-2. **Module Ecosystem Expansion**: bmad-builder, CIS (Creative Intelligence Suite), and Game Dev Studio moved to separate repositories for focused development
-3. **Installer Consolidation**: Unified installer architecture with standardized command naming (`bmad-dash-case.md` or `bmad-*-agent-*.md`)
-4. **Windows Compatibility**: Complete migration from Inquirer.js to @clack/prompts for reliable cross-platform support
