fix(bmgd): add workflow status update to game-architecture completion (#1161)

* fix(bmgd): add workflow status update to game-architecture completion

The game-architecture workflow was not updating the bmgd-workflow-status.yaml
file on completion, unlike other BMGD workflows (narrative, brainstorm-game).

Changes:
- Add step 4 "Update Workflow Status" to update create-architecture status
- Renumber subsequent steps (5-8 → 6-9)
- Add success metric for workflow status update
- Add failure condition for missing status update

* feat(bmgd): add generate-project-context workflow for game development

Adds a new workflow to create optimized project-context.md files for AI agent
consistency in game development projects.

New workflow files:
- workflow.md: Main workflow entry point
- project-context-template.md: Template for context file
- steps/step-01-discover.md: Context discovery & initialization
- steps/step-02-generate.md: Rules generation with A/P/C menus
- steps/step-03-complete.md: Finalization & optimization

Integration:
- Added generate-project-context trigger to game-architect agent menu
- Added project context creation option to game-architecture completion step
- Renumbered steps 6-9 → 7-10 to accommodate new step 6

Adapted from BMM generate-project-context with game-specific:
- Engine patterns (Unity, Unreal, Godot)
- Performance and frame budget rules
- Platform-specific requirements
- Game testing patterns

+# 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.

+
+**P**roblem:  
+Customers can't find their past orders quickly. They have to scroll through pages of orders to find what they're looking for, leading to 15+ support tickets per week.
+
+**A**udience:  
+All 5,000+ active customers are affected. Support team spends ~10 hours/week helping customers find orders.
+
+**S**olution:  
+Add a search bar that filters by order number, date range, and product name. Success = 50% reduction in order-finding support tickets within 2 weeks of launch.

+
+## Tips for Success
+
+1. **Be specific** - Vague problems lead to vague solutions
+2. **Quantify when possible** - Numbers help us prioritize (e.g., "20 customers asked for this" vs "customers want this")
+3. **One idea per submission** - If you have multiple ideas, submit multiple templates
+4. **Success metrics matter** - How will we know this worked?
+5. **Honest sizing** - Better to overestimate than underestimate

+- **Engine**: The powerful framework that orchestrates specialized agents and workflows
+
+### BMad Method™: Agile AI-Driven Development
+
+The BMad Method is the flagship bmad module for agile AI-driven software development. It emphasizes thorough planning and solid architectural foundations to provide detailed context for developer agents, mirroring real-world agile best practices.
+
+### Core Principles
+
+**Partnership Over Automation** - AI agents act as expert coaches, mentors, and collaborators who amplify human capability rather than replace it.
+
+**Bidirectional Guidance** - Agents guide users through structured workflows while users push agents with advanced prompting. Both sides actively work to extract better information from each other.
+
+**Systems of Workflows** - BMad Core builds comprehensive systems of guided workflows with specialized agent teams for any domain.
+
+**Tool-Agnostic Foundation** - BMad Core remains tool-agnostic, providing stable, extensible groundwork that adapts to any domain.
+

+## Before You Contribute
+
+### Reporting Bugs
+
+1. **Check existing issues** first to avoid duplicates
+2. **Consider discussing in Discord** (#bugs-issues channel) for quick help
+3. **Use the bug report template** when creating a new issue - it guides you through providing:
+   - Clear bug description
+   - Steps to reproduce
+   - Expected vs actual behavior
+   - Model/IDE/BMad version details
+   - Screenshots or links if applicable
+4. **Indicate if you're working on a fix** to avoid duplicate efforts
+
+### Suggesting Features or New Modules
+
+1. **Discuss first in Discord** (#general-dev channel) - the feature request template asks if you've done this
+2. **Check existing issues and discussions** to avoid duplicates
+3. **Use the feature request template** when creating an issue
+4. **Be specific** about why this feature would benefit the BMad community and strengthen human-AI collaboration
+
+### Before Starting Work
+
+⚠️ **Required before submitting PRs:**
+
+1. **For bugs**: Check if an issue exists (create one using the bug template if not)
+2. **For features**: Discuss in Discord (#general-dev) AND create a feature request issue
+3. **For large changes**: Always open an issue first to discuss alignment
+
+Please propose small, granular changes! For large or significant changes, discuss in Discord and open an issue first. This prevents wasted effort on PRs that may not align with planned changes.
+
+## Pull Request Guidelines
+
+### Which Branch?
+
+**Submit PR's to `main` branch** (critical only):
+
+- 🚨 Critical bug fixes that break basic functionality
+- 🔒 Security patches
+- 📚 Fixing dangerously incorrect documentation
+- 🐛 Bugs preventing installation or basic usage
+
+### PR Size Guidelines
+
+- **Ideal PR size**: 200-400 lines of code changes
+- **Maximum PR size**: 800 lines (excluding generated files)
+- **One feature/fix per PR**: Each PR should address a single issue or add one feature
+- **If your change is larger**: Break it into multiple smaller PRs that can be reviewed independently
+- **Related changes**: Even related changes should be separate PRs if they deliver independent value
+
+### Breaking Down Large PRs
+
+If your change exceeds 800 lines, use this checklist to split it:
+
+- [ ] Can I separate the refactoring from the feature implementation?
+- [ ] Can I introduce the new API/interface in one PR and implementation in another?
+- [ ] Can I split by file or module?
+- [ ] Can I create a base PR with shared utilities first?
+- [ ] Can I separate test additions from implementation?
+- [ ] Even if changes are related, can they deliver value independently?
+- [ ] Can these changes be merged in any order without breaking things?
+
+Example breakdown:
+
+1. PR #1: Add utility functions and types (100 lines)
+2. PR #2: Refactor existing code to use utilities (200 lines)
+3. PR #3: Implement new feature using refactored code (300 lines)
+4. PR #4: Add comprehensive tests (200 lines)
+
+**Note**: PRs #1 and #4 could be submitted simultaneously since they deliver independent value.
+
+### Pull Request Process
+
+#### New to Pull Requests?
+
+If you're new to GitHub or pull requests, here's a quick guide:
+
+1. **Fork the repository** - Click the "Fork" button on GitHub to create your own copy
+2. **Clone your fork** - `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/bmad-method.git`
+3. **Create a new branch** - Never work on `main` directly!
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b fix/description
+   # or
+   git checkout -b feature/description
+   ```
+4. **Make your changes** - Edit files, keeping changes small and focused
+5. **Commit your changes** - Use clear, descriptive commit messages
+   ```bash
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "fix: correct typo in README"
+   ```
+6. **Push to your fork** - `git push origin fix/description`
+7. **Create the Pull Request** - Go to your fork on GitHub and click "Compare & pull request"
+
+### PR Description Template
+
+Keep your PR description concise and focused. Use this template:
+
+```markdown
+## What
+
+[1-2 sentences describing WHAT changed]
+
+## Why
+
+[1-2 sentences explaining WHY this change is needed]
+Fixes #[issue number] (if applicable)
+
+## How
+
+## [2-3 bullets listing HOW you implemented it]
+
+-
+-
+
+## Testing
+
+[1-2 sentences on how you tested this]
+```
+
+**Maximum PR description length: 200 words** (excluding code examples if needed)
+
+### Good vs Bad PR Descriptions
+
+❌ **Bad Example:**
+
+> This revolutionary PR introduces a paradigm-shifting enhancement to the system's architecture by implementing a state-of-the-art solution that leverages cutting-edge methodologies to optimize performance metrics...
+
+✅ **Good Example:**
+
+> **What:** Added validation for agent dependency resolution
+> **Why:** Build was failing silently when agents had circular dependencies
+> **How:**
+>
+> - Added cycle detection in dependency-resolver.js
+> - Throws clear error with dependency chain
+>   **Testing:** Tested with circular deps between 3 agents
+
+### Commit Message Convention
+
+Use conventional commits format:
+
+- `feat:` New feature
+- `fix:` Bug fix
+- `docs:` Documentation only
+- `refactor:` Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
+- `test:` Adding missing tests
+- `chore:` Changes to build process or auxiliary tools
+
+Keep commit messages under 72 characters.
+
+### Atomic Commits
+
+Each commit should represent one logical change:
+
+- **Do:** One bug fix per commit
+- **Do:** One feature addition per commit
+- **Don't:** Mix refactoring with bug fixes
+- **Don't:** Combine unrelated changes
+
+## What Makes a Good Pull Request?
+
+✅ **Good PRs:**
+
+- Change one thing at a time
+- Have clear, descriptive titles
+- Explain what and why in the description
+- Include only the files that need to change
+- Reference related issue numbers
+
+❌ **Avoid:**
+
+- Changing formatting of entire files
+- Multiple unrelated changes in one PR
+- Copying your entire project/repo into the PR
+- Changes without explanation
+- Working directly on `main` branch
+
+## Common Mistakes to Avoid
+
+1. **Don't reformat entire files** - only change what's necessary
+2. **Don't include unrelated changes** - stick to one fix/feature per PR
+3. **Don't paste code in issues** - create a proper PR instead
+4. **Don't submit your whole project** - contribute specific improvements
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Follow the existing code style and conventions
+- Write clear comments for complex logic
+- Keep dev agents lean - they need context for coding, not documentation
+- Web/planning agents can be larger with more complex tasks
+- Everything is natural language (markdown) - no code in core framework
+- Use bmad modules for domain-specific features
+- Validate YAML schemas with `npm run validate:schemas` before committing

-# Change Navigation Checklist
-
-**Purpose:** To systematically guide the selected Agent and user through the analysis and planning required when a significant change (pivot, tech issue, missing requirement, failed story) is identified during the BMAD workflow.
-
-**Instructions:** Review each item with the user. Mark `[x]` for completed/confirmed, `[N/A]` if not applicable, or add notes for discussion points.
-
----
-
-## 1. Understand the Trigger & Context
-
-- [ ] **Identify Triggering Story:** Clearly identify the story (or stories) that revealed the issue.
-- [ ] **Define the Issue:** Articulate the core problem precisely.
-  - [ ] Is it a technical limitation/dead-end?
-  - [ ] Is it a newly discovered requirement?
-  - [ ] Is it a fundamental misunderstanding of existing requirements?
-  - [ ] Is it a necessary pivot based on feedback or new information?
-  - [ ] Is it a failed/abandoned story needing a new approach?
-- [ ] **Assess Initial Impact:** Describe the immediate observed consequences (e.g., blocked progress, incorrect functionality, non-viable tech).
-- [ ] **Gather Evidence:** Note any specific logs, error messages, user feedback, or analysis that supports the issue definition.
-
-## 2. Epic Impact Assessment
-
-- [ ] **Analyze Current Epic:**
-  - [ ] Can the current epic containing the trigger story still be completed?
-  - [ ] Does the current epic need modification (story changes, additions, removals)?
-  - [ ] Should the current epic be abandoned or fundamentally redefined?
-- [ ] **Analyze Future Epics:**
-  - [ ] Review all remaining planned epics.
-  - [ ] Does the issue require changes to planned stories in future epics?
-  - [ ] Does the issue invalidate any future epics?
-  - [ ] Does the issue necessitate the creation of entirely new epics?
-  - [ ] Should the order/priority of future epics be changed?
-- [ ] **Summarize Epic Impact:** Briefly document the overall effect on the project's epic structure and flow.
-
-## 3. Artifact Conflict & Impact Analysis
-
-- [ ] **Review PRD:**
-  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the core goals or requirements stated in the PRD?
-  - [ ] Does the PRD need clarification or updates based on the new understanding?
-- [ ] **Review Architecture Document:**
-  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the documented architecture (components, patterns, tech choices)?
-  - [ ] Are specific components/diagrams/sections impacted?
-  - [ ] Does the technology list need updating?
-  - [ ] Do data models or schemas need revision?
-  - [ ] Are external API integrations affected?
-- [ ] **Review Frontend Spec (if applicable):**
-  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the FE architecture, component library choice, or UI/UX design?
-  - [ ] Are specific FE components or user flows impacted?
-- [ ] **Review Other Artifacts (if applicable):**
-  - [ ] Consider impact on deployment scripts, IaC, monitoring setup, etc.
-- [ ] **Summarize Artifact Impact:** List all artifacts requiring updates and the nature of the changes needed.
-
-## 4. Path Forward Evaluation
-
-- [ ] **Option 1: Direct Adjustment / Integration:**
-  - [ ] Can the issue be addressed by modifying/adding future stories within the existing plan?
-  - [ ] Define the scope and nature of these adjustments.
-  - [ ] Assess feasibility, effort, and risks of this path.
-- [ ] **Option 2: Potential Rollback:**
-  - [ ] Would reverting completed stories significantly simplify addressing the issue?
-  - [ ] Identify specific stories/commits to consider for rollback.
-  - [ ] Assess the effort required for rollback.
-  - [ ] Assess the impact of rollback (lost work, data implications).
-  - [ ] Compare the net benefit/cost vs. Direct Adjustment.
-- [ ] **Option 3: PRD MVP Review & Potential Re-scoping:**
-  - [ ] Is the original PRD MVP still achievable given the issue and constraints?
-  - [ ] Does the MVP scope need reduction (removing features/epics)?
-  - [ ] Do the core MVP goals need modification?
-  - [ ] Are alternative approaches needed to meet the original MVP intent?
-  - [ ] **Extreme Case:** Does the issue necessitate a fundamental replan or potentially a new PRD V2 (to be handled by PM)?
-- [ ] **Select Recommended Path:** Based on the evaluation, agree on the most viable path forward.

-## BMAD METHOD - CORE PHILOSOPHY
-
-**STATEMENT:** "Vibe CEO'ing" is about embracing the chaos, thinking like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision, and leveraging AI as your high-powered team to achieve ambitious goals rapidly. The BMAD Method (Breakthrough Method of Agile (ai-driven) Development), with the integrated "Bmad Agent", elevates "vibe coding" to advanced project planning, providing a structured yet flexible framework to plan, execute, and manage software projects using a team of specialized AI agents.
-
-**DETAILS:**
-
-- Focus on ambitious goals and rapid iteration.
-- Utilize AI as a force multiplier.
-- Adapt and overcome obstacles with a proactive mindset.
-
-## BMAD METHOD - AGILE METHODOLOGIES OVERVIEW
-
-### CORE PRINCIPLES OF AGILE
-
-- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
-- Working software over comprehensive documentation.
-- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
-- Responding to change over following a plan.
-
-### KEY PRACTICES IN AGILE
-
-- Iterative Development: Building in short cycles (sprints).
-- Incremental Delivery: Releasing functional pieces of the product.
-- Daily Stand-ups: Short team meetings for synchronization.
-- Retrospectives: Regular reviews to improve processes.
-- Continuous Feedback: Ongoing input from stakeholders.
-
-### BENEFITS OF AGILE
-
-- Increased Flexibility: Ability to adapt to changing requirements.
-- Faster Time to Market: Quicker delivery of valuable features.
-- Improved Quality: Continuous testing and feedback loops.
-- Enhanced Stakeholder Engagement: Close collaboration with users/clients.
-- Higher Team Morale: Empowered and self-organizing teams.
-
-## BMAD METHOD - ANALOGIES WITH AGILE PRINCIPLES
-
-The BMAD Method, while distinct in its "Vibe CEO'ing" approach with AI, shares foundational parallels with Agile methodologies:
-
-- **Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools (Agile) vs. Vibe CEO & AI Team (BMAD):**
-
-  - **Agile:** Emphasizes the importance of skilled individuals and effective communication.
-  - **BMAD:** The "Vibe CEO" (you) actively directs and interacts with AI agents, treating them as a high-powered team. The quality of this interaction and clear instruction ("CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS", "KNOW_YOUR_AGENTS") is paramount, echoing Agile's focus on human elements.
-
-- **Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation (Agile) vs. Rapid Iteration & Quality Outputs (BMAD):**
-
-  - **Agile:** Prioritizes delivering functional software quickly.
-  - **BMAD:** Stresses "START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST" and "ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT." While "DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY" for good inputs (briefs, PRDs), the goal is to leverage AI for rapid generation of working components or solutions. The focus is on achieving ambitious goals rapidly.
-
-- **Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation (Agile) vs. Vibe CEO as Ultimate Arbiter (BMAD):**
-
-  - **Agile:** Involves continuous feedback from the customer.
-  - **BMAD:** The "Vibe CEO" acts as the primary stakeholder and quality control ("QUALITY_CONTROL," "STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT"), constantly reviewing and refining AI outputs, much like a highly engaged customer.
-
-- **Responding to Change over Following a Plan (Agile) vs. Embrace Chaos & Adapt (BMAD):**
-
-  - **Agile:** Values adaptability and responsiveness to new requirements.
-  - **BMAD:** Explicitly encourages to "EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS," "ADAPT & EXPERIMENT," and acknowledges that "ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT" means it's "not a linear process." This directly mirrors Agile's flexibility.
-
-- **Iterative Development & Incremental Delivery (Agile) vs. Story-based Implementation & Phased Value (BMAD):**
-
-  - **Agile:** Work is broken down into sprints, delivering value incrementally.
-  - **BMAD:** Projects are broken into Epics and Stories, with "Developer Agents" implementing stories one at a time. Epics represent "significant, deployable increments of value," aligning with incremental delivery.
-
-- **Continuous Feedback & Retrospectives (Agile) vs. Iterative Refinement & Quality Control (BMAD):**
-  - **Agile:** Teams regularly reflect and adjust processes.
-  - **BMAD:** The "Vibe CEO" continuously reviews outputs ("QUALITY_CONTROL") and directs "ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT," serving a similar function to feedback loops and process improvement.
-
-## BMAD METHOD - TOOLING AND RESOURCE LOCATIONS
-
-Effective use of the BMAD Method relies on understanding where key tools, configurations, and informational resources are located and how they are used. The method is designed to be tool-agnostic in principle, with agent instructions and workflows adaptable to various AI platforms and IDEs.
-
-- **BMAD Knowledge Base:** This document (`bmad-agent/data/bmad-kb.md`) serves as the central repository for understanding the BMAD method, its principles, agent roles, and workflows.
-- **Orchestrator Agents:** A key feature is the Orchestrator agent (AKA "BMAD"), a master agent capable of embodying any specialized agent role.
-  - **Web Agent Orchestrator:**
-    - **Setup:** Utilizes a Node.js build script (`build-web-agent.js`) configured by `build-web-agent.cfg.js`.
-    - **Process:** Consolidates assets (personas, tasks, templates, checklists, data) from an `/bmad-agent` into a `build_dir`, default: `/build/`.
-    - **Output:** Produces bundled asset files (e.g., `personas.txt`, `tasks.txt`), an `agent-prompt.txt` (from `orchestrator_agent_prompt`), and an `agent-config.txt` (from `agent_cfg` like `web-bmad-orchestrator-agent.cfg.md`).
-    - **Usage:** The `agent-prompt.txt` is used for the main custom web agent instruction set (e.g., Gemini 2.5 Gem or OpenAI Custom GPT), and the other build files are attached as knowledge/files.
-  - **IDE Agent Orchestrator (`ide-bmad-orchestrator.md`):**
-    - **Setup:** Works without a build step, dynamically loading its configuration.
-    - **Configuration (`ide-bmad-orchestrator.cfg.md`):** Contains a `Data Resolution` section (defining base paths for assets like personas, tasks) and `Agent Definitions` (Title, Name, Customize, Persona file, Tasks).
-    - **Operation:** Loads its config, lists available personas, and upon user request, embodies the chosen agent by loading its persona file and applying customizations.
-    - The `ide-bmad-orchestrator` file contents can be used as the instructions for a custom agent mode. The agent supports a `*help` command that can help guide the user. The agent relies on the existence in the bmad-agent folder being at the root of the project.
-    - The `ide-bmad-orchestrator` is not recommended for generating stories or doing development. While it CAN become those agents, its HIGHLY recommended to instead use the dedicated dev.ide.md or sm.ide.md as individual dedicated agents. The will use up less context overhead and are going to be used the most frequently.
-- **Standalone IDE Agents:**
-  - Optimized for IDE environments (e.g., Windsurf, Cursor), often under 6K characters (e.g., `dev.ide.md`, `sm.ide.md`).
-  - Can directly reference and execute tasks.
-- **Agent Configuration Files:**
-  - `web-bmad-orchestrator-agent.cfg.md`: Defines agents the Web Orchestrator can embody, including references to personas, tasks, checklists, and templates (e.g., `personas#pm`, `tasks#create-prd`).
-  - `ide-bmad-orchestrator.cfg.md`: Configures the IDE Orchestrator, defining `Data Resolution` paths (e.g., `(project-root)/bmad-agent/personas`) and agent definitions with persona file names (e.g., `analyst.md`) and task file names (e.g., `create-prd.md`).
-  - `web-bmad-orchestrator-agent.md`: Main prompt for the Web Orchestrator.
-  - `ide-bmad-orchestrator.md`: Main prompt/definition of the IDE Orchestrator agent.
-- **Task Files:**
-  - Located in `bmad-agent/tasks/` (and sometimes `bmad-agent/checklists/` for checklist-like tasks).
-  - Self-contained instruction sets for specific jobs (e.g., `create-prd.md`, `checklist-run-task.md`).
-  - Reduce agent bloat and provide on-demand functionality for any capable agent.
-- **Core Agent Definitions (Personas):**
-  - Files (typically `.md`) defining core personalities and instructions for different agents.
-  - Located in `bmad-agent/personas/` (e.g., `analyst.md`, `pm.md`).
-- **Project Documentation (Outputs):**
-- **Project Briefs:** Generated by the Analyst agent.
-- **Product Requirements Documents (PRDs):** Produced by the PM agent, containing epics and stories.
-- **UX/UI Specifications & Architecture Documents:** Created by Design Architect and Architect agents.
-- The **POSM agent** is crucial for organizing and managing these documents.
-- **Templates:** Standardized formats for briefs, PRDs, checklists, etc., likely stored in `bmad-agent/templates/`.
-- **Data Directory (`bmad-agent/data/`):** Stores persistent data, knowledge bases (like this one), and other key information for the agents.
-
-## BMAD METHOD - COMMUNITY AND CONTRIBUTIONS
-
-The BMAD Method thrives on community involvement and collaborative improvement.
-
-- **Getting Involved:**
-  - **GitHub Discussions:** The primary platform for discussing potential ideas, use cases, additions, and enhancements to the method.
-  - **Reporting Bugs:** If you find a bug, check existing issues first. If unreported, provide detailed steps to reproduce, along with any relevant logs or screenshots.
-  - **Suggesting Features:** Check existing issues and discussions. Explain your feature idea in detail and its potential value.
-- **Contribution Process (Pull Requests):**
-  1. Fork the repository.
-  2. Create a new branch for your feature or bugfix (e.g., `feature/your-feature-name`).
-  3. Make your changes, adhering to existing code style and conventions. Write clear comments for complex logic.
-  4. Run any tests or linting to ensure quality.
-  5. Commit your changes with clear, descriptive messages (refer to the project's commit message convention, often found in `docs/commit.md`).
-  6. Push your branch to your fork.
-  7. Open a Pull Request against the main branch of the original repository.
-- **Code of Conduct:** All participants are expected to abide by the project's Code of Conduct.
-- **Licensing of Contributions:** By contributing, you agree that your contributions will be licensed under the same license as the project (MIT License).

-
-## BMAD METHOD - ETHOS & BEST PRACTICES
-
-- **CORE_ETHOS:** You are the "Vibe CEO." Think like a CEO with unlimited resources and a singular vision. Your AI agents are your high-powered team. Your job is to direct, refine, and ensure quality towards your ambitious goal. The method elevates "vibe coding" to advanced project planning.
-- **MAXIMIZE_AI_LEVERAGE:** Push the AI. Ask for more. Challenge its outputs. Iterate.
-- **QUALITY_CONTROL:** You are the ultimate arbiter of quality. Review all outputs.
-- **STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT:** Maintain the high-level vision. Ensure agent outputs align.
-- **ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT:** Expect to revisit steps. This is not a linear process.
-- **CLEAR_INSTRUCTIONS:** The more precise your requests, the better the AI's output.
-- **DOCUMENTATION_IS_KEY:** Good inputs (briefs, PRDs) lead to good outputs. The POSM agent is crucial for organizing this.
-- **KNOW_YOUR_AGENTS:** Understand each agent's role (see [AGENT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES](#agent-roles-and-responsibilities) or below). This includes understanding the capabilities of the Orchestrator agent if you are using one.
-- **START_SMALL_SCALE_FAST:** Test concepts, then expand.
-- **EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS:** Pioneering new methods is messy. Adapt and overcome.
-- **ADAPT & EXPERIMENT:** The BMAD Method provides a structure, but feel free to adapt its principles, agent order, or templates to fit your specific project needs and working style. Experiment to find what works best for you. **Define agile the BMad way - or your way!** The agent configurations allow for customization of roles and responsibilities.
-
-## AGENT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
-
-Understanding the distinct roles and responsibilities of each agent is key to effectively navigating the BMAD workflow. While the "Vibe CEO" provides overall direction, each agent specializes in different aspects of the project lifecycle. V3 introduces Orchestrator agents that can embody these roles, with configurations specified in `web-bmad-orchestrator-agent.cfg.md` for web and `ide-bmad-orchestrator.cfg.md` for IDE environments.
-
-- **Orchestrator Agent (BMAD):**
-
-  - **Function:** The primary orchestrator, initially "BMAD." It can embody various specialized agent personas. It handles general BMAD queries, provides oversight, and is the go-to when unsure which specialist is needed.

-
-## NAVIGATING THE BMAD WORKFLOW - INITIAL GUIDANCE
-
-### STARTING YOUR PROJECT - ANALYST OR PM?
-
-- Use Analyst if unsure about idea/market/feasibility or need deep exploration.
-- Use PM if concept is clear or you have a Project Brief.
-- Refer to [AGENT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES](#agent-roles-and-responsibilities) (or section within this KB) for full details on Analyst and PM.
-
-### UNDERSTANDING EPICS - SINGLE OR MULTIPLE?
-
-- Epics represent significant, deployable increments of value.
-- Multiple Epics are common for non-trivial projects or a new MVP (distinct functional areas, user journeys, phased rollout).
-- Single Epic might suit very small MVPs, or post MVP / brownfield new features.
-- The PM helps define and structure epics.

-This section provides guidance for new users on how to set up their project with the BMAD agent structure and manage artifacts.
-
-### Initial Project Setup
-
-To begin using the BMAD method and its associated agents in your project, you need to integrate the core agent files:
-
-- **Copy `bmad-agent` Folder:** The entire `bmad-agent` folder should be copied into the root directory of your project. This folder contains all the necessary personas, tasks, templates, and configuration files for the BMAD agents to function correctly.
-
-### Exporting Artifacts from AI Platforms
-
-Once an AI agent (like those in Gemini or ChatGPT) has generated a document (e.g., Project Brief, PRD, Architecture Document), you'll need to save it into your project:
-
-- **Gemini:**
-  - After the document is produced, click the `...` (more options) menu typically found near the response.
-  - Select "Copy". The content will be copied as Markdown.
-  - Paste this content into a new `.md` file within your project's `docs` folder (or a similar designated location).
-  - **Passing to a new chat instance:** Gemini's chat interface may not directly support pasting Markdown with full fidelity in all scenarios.
-    - You can paste the raw Markdown content directly.
-    - Alternatively, save the content as a `.txt` file and paste from there.
-    - For sharing or preserving formatting in Google Docs: Create a new Google Doc, right-click, and select "Paste without formatting" if pasting directly, or look for options to import/paste Markdown. Some browser extensions can facilitate Markdown rendering in Google Docs.
-- **ChatGPT:**
-  - ChatGPT generally handles Markdown well. You can copy the generated Markdown output directly.
-  - Paste it into a `.md` file in your project's `docs` folder.
-  - Sharing `.md` files or their content with new ChatGPT instances (e.g., by uploading the file or pasting the text) is typically straightforward.
-
-### Document Sharding
-
-Large documents like PRDs or Architecture Documents can become unwieldy for AI agents to process efficiently, especially in environments with context window limitations. The `doc-sharding-task.md` is designed to break these down:
-
-- **Purpose:** The sharding task splits a large document (e.g., PRD, Architecture, Front-End Architecture) into smaller, more granular sections or individual user stories. This makes it easier for subsequent agents, like the SM (Scrum Master) or Dev Agents, to work with specific parts of the document without needing to process the entire thing.
-- **How to Use:**
-  1.  Ensure the large document you want to shard (e.g., `prd.md`, `architecture.md`) exists in your project's `docs` folder.
-  2.  Instruct your active IDE agent (e.g., PO, SM, or the BMAD Orchestrator embodying one of these roles) to run the `doc-sharding-task.md`.
-  3.  You will typically specify the _source file_ to be sharded. For example: "Run the `doc-sharding-task.md` against `docs/prd.md`."
-  4.  The task will guide the agent to break down the document. The output might be new smaller files or instructions on how the document is logically segmented.
-
-### Utilizing Dedicated IDE Agents (SM and Dev)
-
-While the BMAD IDE Orchestrator can embody any persona, for common and intensive tasks like story generation (SM) and code implementation (Dev), it's highly recommended to use dedicated, specialized agents:
-
-- **Why Dedicated Agents?**
-  - **Context Efficiency:** Dedicated agents (e.g., `sm.ide.md`, `dev.ide.md`) are leaner as their persona files are smaller and more focused. This is crucial in IDEs where context window limits can impact performance and output quality.
-  - **Performance:** Less overhead means faster responses and more focused interactions.
-- **Recommendation:**
-  - Favor using `sm.ide.md` for Scrum Master tasks (like generating the next story).
-  - Favor using `dev.ide.md` (or specialized versions like `dev-frontend.ide.md`) for development tasks.
-- **Creating Your Own Dedicated Agents:**
-  - If your IDE supports more than a few custom agent modes (unlike Cursor's typical limit of 5 without paying for more), you can easily create your own specialized agents.
-  - Take the content of a base persona file (e.g., `bmad-agent/personas/architect.md`).
-  - Optionally, integrate the content of frequently used task files directly into this new persona file.
-  - Save this combined content as a new agent mode in your IDE (e.g., `my-architect.ide.md`). This approach mirrors how the `sm.ide.md` agent is structured.
-
-### When to Use the BMAD IDE Orchestrator
-
-The BMAD IDE Orchestrator (`ide-bmad-orchestrator.md` configured by `ide-bmad-orchestrator.cfg.md`) provides flexibility but might not always be the most efficient choice.
-
-- **Useful Scenarios:**
-  - **Cursor IDE with Agent Limits:** If you're using an IDE like Cursor and frequently need to switch between many different agent personalities (Analyst, PM, Architect, etc.) beyond the typical free limit for custom modes, the Orchestrator allows you to access all configured personas through a single agent slot.
-  - **Unified Experience (Gemini/ChatGPT Parity):** If you prefer to interact with the BMAD agent system in your IDE in the same way you would in a web UI like Gemini (using the BMAD Orchestrator to call upon different specialists), and you are not concerned about context limits or potential costs associated with larger LLM models that can handle the Orchestrator's broader context.
-  - **Access to all Personas:** You want quick access to any of the defined agent personas without setting them up as individual IDE modes.
-- **Potentially Unnecessary / Less Optimal Scenarios:**
-  - **Simple Projects / Feature Additions (Caution Advised):** For very simple projects or when adding a small feature to an existing codebase, you _might_ consider a streamlined flow using the Orchestrator to embody the PM, generate a PRD with epics/stories, and then directly move to development, potentially skipping detailed architecture.
-    - In such cases, the PM persona might be prompted to ask more technical questions to ensure generated stories are sufficiently detailed for developers.
-    - **This is generally NOT recommended** as it deviates from the robust BMAD process and is not yet a fully streamlined or validated path. It risks insufficient planning and lower quality outputs.
-  - **Frequent SM/Dev Tasks:** As mentioned above, for regular story creation and development, dedicated SM and Dev agents are more efficient due to smaller context overhead.
-
-Always consider the trade-offs between the Orchestrator's versatility and the efficiency of dedicated agents, especially concerning your IDE's capabilities and the complexity of your project.
-
-## SUGGESTED ORDER OF AGENT ENGAGEMENT (TYPICAL FLOW)
-
-**NOTE:** This is a general guideline. The BMAD method is iterative; phases/agents might be revisited.
-
-1. **Analyst** - brainstorm and create a project brief.
-2. **PM (Product Manager)** - use the brief to produce a PRD with high level epics and stories.
-3. **Design Architect UX UI Spec for PRD (If project has a UI)** - create the front end UX/UI Specification.
-4. **Architect** - create the architecture and ensure we can meet the prd requirements technically - with enough specification that the dev agents will work consistently.
-5. **Design Architect (If project has a UI)** - create the front end architecture and ensure we can meet the prd requirements technically - with enough specification that the dev agents will work consistently.
-6. **Design Architect (If project has a UI)** - Optionally create a prompt to generate a UI from AI services such as Lovable or V0 from Vercel.
-7. **PO**: Validate documents are aligned, sequencing makes sense, runs a final master checklist. The PO can also help midstream development replan or course correct if major changes occur.
-8. **PO or SM**: Generate Stories 1 at a time (or multiple but not recommended) - this is generally done in the IDE after each story is completed by the Developer Agents.
-9. **Developer Agents**: Implement Stories 1 at a time. You can craft different specialized Developer Agents, or use a generic developer agent. It is recommended to create specialized developer agents and configure them in the `ide-bmad-orchestrator.cfg`.
-
-## HANDLING MAJOR CHANGES
-
-Major changes are an inherent part of ambitious projects. The BMAD Method embraces this through its iterative nature and specific agent roles:
-
-- **Iterative by Design:** The entire BMAD workflow is built on "ITERATIVE_REFINEMENT." Expect to revisit previous steps and agents as new information emerges or requirements evolve. It's "not a linear process."
-- **Embrace and Adapt:** The core ethos includes "EMBRACE_THE_CHAOS" and "ADAPT & EXPERIMENT." Major changes are opportunities to refine the vision and approach.
-- **PO's Role in Re-planning:** The **Product Owner (PO)** is key in managing the impact of significant changes. They can "help midstream development replan or course correct if major changes occur." This involves reassessing priorities, adjusting the backlog, and ensuring alignment with the overall project goals.
-- **Strategic Oversight by Vibe CEO:** As the "Vibe CEO," your role is to maintain "STRATEGIC_OVERSIGHT." When major changes arise, you guide the necessary pivots, ensuring the project remains aligned with your singular vision.
-- **Re-engage Agents as Needed:** Don't hesitate to re-engage earlier-phase agents (e.g., Analyst for re-evaluating market fit, PM for revising PRDs, Architect for assessing technical impact) if a change significantly alters the project's scope or foundations.
-
-## IDE VS UI USAGE - GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
-
-The BMAD method can be orchestrated through different interfaces, typically a web UI for higher-level planning and an IDE for development and detailed developer story generation. The most general recommendation is to do all document generation from the brief, PRD, Architecture, Design Architecture, and potentially UI Prompts. Also use the PO to run the full final checklist to ensure all documents are aligned with various changes. For example, did the architect discover something that requires an update to a epic or story sequence in the PRD? The PO will help you there. Once done, then export the documents to the IDE. If documents have been modified, you can ask the specific proper agents in Gemini or chatGPT to give you the final unredacted complete document. Save these into the docs folder of your project.
-
-### CONCEPTUAL, PLANNING PHASES and TECHNICAL DESIGN
-
-- **Interface:** Often best managed via a Web UI (leveraging the **Web Agent Orchestrator** with its bundled assets and `agent-prompt.txt`) or dedicated project management tools where orchestrator agents can guide the process.
-- **Agents Involved:**
-  - **Analyst:** Brainstorming, research, and initial project brief creation.
-  - **PM (Product Manager):** PRD development, epic and high-level story definition.
-  - **Architect / Design Architect (UI):** Detailed technical design and specification.
-  - **PO:** Checklist runner to make sure all of the documents are aligned.
-- **Activities:** Defining the vision, initial requirements gathering, market analysis, high-level planning. The `web-bmad-orchestrator-agent.md` and its configuration likely support these activities.
-
-### DOCUMENTATION MANAGEMENT & IMPLEMENTATION PHASES
-
-- **Interface:** Primarily within the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), leveraging specialized agents (standalone or via the **IDE Agent Orchestrator** configured with `ide-bmad-orchestrator.cfg.md`).
-- **Agents Involved:**
-  - "**PO or SM or BMad Agent:** Run the doc sharing task to split the large files that have been created (PRD, Architecture etc...) into smaller granular documents that are easier for the SM and Dev Agents to work with.
-  - **SM (Scrum Master):** Detailed story generation, backlog refinement, often directly in the IDE or tools integrated with it.
-  - **Developer Agents:** Code implementation for stories, working directly with the codebase in the IDE.
-- **Activities:** Detailed architecture, front-end/back-end design, code development, testing, leveraging IDE tasks (see "LEVERAGING IDE TASKS FOR EFFICIENCY"), using configurations like `ide-bmad-orchestrator.cfg.md`.
-
-### BMAD METHOD FILES
-
-Understanding key files helps in navigating and customizing the BMAD process:
-
-- **Knowledge & Configuration:**
-  - `bmad-agent/data/bmad-kb.md`: This central knowledge base.
-  - `ide-bmad-orchestrator.cfg.md`: Configuration for IDE developer agents.
-  - `ide-bmad-orchestrator.md`: Definition of the IDE orchestrator agent.
-  - `web-bmad-orchestrator-agent.cfg.md`: Configuration for the web orchestrator agent.
-  - `web-bmad-orchestrator-agent.md`: Definition of the web orchestrator agent.
-- **Task Definitions:**
-  - Files in `bmad-agent/tasks/` or `bmad-agent/checklists/` (e.g., `checklist-run-task.md`): Reusable prompts for specific actions and also used by agents to keep agent persona files lean.
-- **Agent Personas & Templates:**
-  - Files in `bmad-agent/personas/`: Define the core behaviors of different agents.
-  - Files in `bmad-agent/templates/`: Standard formats for documents like Project Briefs, PRDs that the agents will use to populate instances of these documents.
-- **Project Artifacts (Outputs - locations vary based on project setup):**
-  - Project Briefs
-  - Product Requirements Documents (PRDs)
-  - UX/UI Specifications
-  - Architecture Documents
-  - Codebase and related development files.
-
-## LEVERAGING IDE TASKS FOR EFFICIENCY
-
-### PURPOSE OF IDE TASKS
-
-- **Reduce Agent Bloat:** Avoid adding numerous, rarely used instructions to primary IDE agent modes (Dev Agent, SM Agent) or even the Orchestrator's base prompt. Keeps agents lean, beneficial for IDEs with limits on custom agent complexity/numbers.
-- **On-Demand Functionality:** Instruct an active IDE agent (standalone or an embodied persona within the IDE Orchestrator) to perform a task by providing the content of the relevant task file (e.g., from `bmad-agent/tasks/checklist-run-task.md`) as a prompt, or by referencing it if the agent is configured to find it (as with the IDE Orchestrator).
-- **Versatility:** Any sufficiently capable agent can be asked to execute a task. Tasks can handle specific functions like running checklists, creating stories, sharding documents, indexing libraries, etc. They are self-contained instruction sets.
-
-### EXAMPLES OF TASK FUNCTIONALITY
-
-**CONCEPT:** Think of tasks as specialized, callable mini-agents or on-demand instruction sets that main IDE agents or the Orchestrator (when embodying a persona) can invoke, keeping primary agent definitions streamlined. They are particularly useful for operations not performed frequently. The `docs/instruction.md` file provides more details on task setup and usage.
-
-Here are some examples of functionalities provided by tasks found in `bmad-agent/tasks/`:
-
-- **`create-prd.md`:** Guides the generation of a Product Requirements Document.
-- **`create-next-story-task.md`:** Helps in defining and creating the next user story for development.
-- **`create-architecture.md`:** Assists in outlining the technical architecture for a project.
-- **`create-frontend-architecture.md`:** Focuses specifically on designing the front-end architecture.
-- **`create-uxui-spec.md`:** Facilitates the creation of a UX/UI Specification document.
-- **`create-ai-frontend-prompt.md`:** Helps in drafting a prompt for an AI service to generate UI/frontend elements.
-- **`doc-sharding-task.md`:** Provides a process for breaking down large documents into smaller, manageable parts.
-- **`library-indexing-task.md`:** Assists in creating an index or overview of a code library.
-- **`checklist-run-task.md`:** Executes a predefined checklist (likely using `checklist-mappings.yml`).
-- **`correct-course.md`:** Provides guidance or steps for when a project needs to adjust its direction.
-- **`create-deep-research-prompt.md`:** Helps formulate prompts for conducting in-depth research on a topic.
-
-These tasks allow agents to perform complex, multi-step operations by following the detailed instructions within each task file, often leveraging templates and checklists as needed.

-
-`configFile`: `(project-root)/bmad-agent/ide-bmad-orchestrator.cfg.md`
-`kb`: `(project-root)/bmad-agent/data/bmad-kb.md`
-
-## Core Orchestrator Principles
-
-1. **Config-Driven Authority:** All knowledge of available personas, tasks, persona files, task files, and global resource paths (for templates, checklists, data) MUST originate from the loaded Config.
-2. **Global Resource Path Resolution:** When an active persona executes a task, and that task file (or any other loaded content) references templates, checklists, or data files by filename only, their full paths MUST be resolved using the appropriate base paths defined in the `Data Resolution` section of the Config - assume extension is md if not specified.
-3. **Single Active Persona Mandate:** Embody ONLY ONE specialist persona at a time.
-4. **Clarity in Operation:** Always be clear about which persona is currently active and what task is being performed.
-
-## Critical Start-Up & Operational Workflow
-
-### 1. Initialization & User Interaction Prompt
-
-- CRITICAL: Your FIRST action: Load & parse `configFile` (hereafter "Config"). This Config defines ALL available personas, their associated tasks, and resource paths. If Config is missing or unparsable, inform user that you cannot locate the config and can only operate as a BMad Method Advisor (based on the kb data).
-  Greet the user concisely (e.g., "BMad IDE Orchestrator ready. Config loaded. Select Agent, or I can remain in Advisor mode.").
-- **If user's initial prompt is unclear or requests options:**
-  - Based on the loaded Config, list available specialist personas by their `Title` (and `Name` if distinct) along with their `Description`. For each persona, list the display names of its configured `Tasks`.
-  - Ask: "Which persona shall I become, and what task should it perform?" Await user's specific choice.
-
-### 2. Persona Activation & Task Execution
-
-- **A. Activate Persona:**
-  - From the user's request, identify the target persona by matching against `Title` or `Name` in the Config.
-  - If no clear match: Inform user and give list of available personas.
-  - If matched: Retrieve the `Persona:` filename and any `Customize:` string from the agent's entry in the Config.
-  - Construct the full persona file path using the `personas:` base path from Config's `Data Resolution` and any `Customize` update.
-  - Attempt to load the persona file. ON ERROR LOADING, HALT!
-  - Inform user you are activating (persona/role)
-  - **YOU WILL NOW FULLY EMBODY THIS LOADED PERSONA.** The content of the loaded persona file (Role, Core Principles, etc.) becomes your primary operational guide. Apply the `Customize:` string from the Config to this persona. You are no longer BMAD Orchestrator.
-- **B. Find/Execute Task:**
-  - Analyze the user's task request (or the task part of a combined "persona-action" request).
-  - Match this request to a task under your active persona entry in the config.
-  - If no task match: List your available tasks and await.
-  - If a task is matched: Retrieve its target artifacts such as template, task file, or checklists.
-    - **If an external task file:** Construct the full task file path using the `tasks` base path from Config's `Data Resolution`. Load the task file and let user know you are executing it."
-    - **If an "In Memory" task:** Follow as stated internally.
-  - Upon task completion continue interacting as the active persona.
-
-### 3. Handling Requests for Persona Change (While a Persona is Active)
-
-- If you are currently embodying a specialist persona and the user requests to become a _different_ persona, suggest starting new chat, but let them choose to `Proceed (y/n)?`
-- **If user chooses to override:**
-  - Acknowledge you are Terminating {Current Persona Name}. Re-initializing for {Requested New Persona Name}..."
-  - Exit current persona and immediately re-trigger **Step 2.A (Activate Persona)** with the `Requested New Persona Name`.
-
-## Commands
-
-Immediate Action Commands:
-
-- `*help`: Ask user if they want a list of commands, or help with Workflows or advice on BMad Method. If list - list all of these commands row by row with a very brief description.
-- `*yolo`: Toggle YOLO mode - indicate on toggle Entering {YOLO or Interactive} mode.
-- `*core-dump`: Execute the `core-dump' task.
-- `*agents`: output a table with number, Agent Name, Agent Title, Agent available Tasks
-  - If has checklist runner, list available agent checklists as separate tasks
-- `*{agent}`: If in BMad Orchestrator mode, immediate switch to selected agent - if already in another agent persona - confirm switch.
-- `*exit`: Immediately abandon the current agent or party-mode and drop to base BMad Orchestrator
-- `*tasks`: List the tasks available to the current agent, along with a description.
-- `*party`: This enters group chat with all available agents. You will roleplay all agent personas as necessary
-
-## Global Output Requirements Apply to All Personas
-
-- When conversing, do not provide raw internal references to the user; synthesize information naturally.
-- When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make response easier.
-- Your output MUST strictly conform to the active persona, responsibilities, knowledge (using specified templates/checklists), and style defined by persona.
-
-<output_formatting>
-
-- NEVER truncate or omit unchanged sections in document updates/revisions.
-- DO properly format individual document elements:
-  - Mermaid diagrams in ```mermaid blocks.
-  - Code snippets in ```language blocks.
-  - Tables using proper markdown syntax.
-- For inline document sections, use proper internal formatting.
-- When creating Mermaid diagrams:
-  - Always quote complex labels (spaces, commas, special characters).
-  - Use simple, short IDs (no spaces/special characters).
-  - Test diagram syntax before presenting.
-  - Prefer simple node connections.
-
-</output_formatting>

-<critical*rule>Note on Subsequent Deep Research Execution:</critical_rule>
-The output of this phase is a research prompt. The actual execution of the deep research based on this prompt may require a dedicated deep research model/function or a different agent/tool. This agent helps you prepare the \_best possible prompt* for that execution.
-
-1.  **Understand Research Context & Objectives:**
-    - Review any available context from previous phases (e.g., Brainstorming outputs, user's initial problem statement).
-    - Ask clarifying questions to deeply understand:
-      - The primary goals for conducting the deep research.
-      - The specific decisions the research findings will inform.
-      - Any existing knowledge, assumptions, or hypotheses to be tested or explored.
-      - The desired depth and breadth of the research.
-2.  **Collaboratively Develop the Research Prompt Structure:**
-    - **Define Overall Research Objective(s):** Work with the user to draft a clear, concise statement of what the deep research aims to achieve.
-    - **Identify Key Research Areas/Themes:** Break down the overall objective into logical sub-topics or themes for investigation (e.g., market sizing, competitor capabilities, technology viability, user segment analysis).
-    - **Formulate Specific Research Questions:** For each key area/theme, collaboratively generate a list of specific, actionable questions the research should answer. Ensure questions cover:
-      - Factual information needed (e.g., market statistics, feature lists).
-      - Analytical insights required (e.g., SWOT analysis, trend implications, feasibility assessments).
-      - Validation of specific hypotheses.
-    - **Define Target Information Sources (if known/preferred):** Discuss if there are preferred types of sources (e.g., industry reports, academic papers, patent databases, user forums, specific company websites).
-    - **Specify Desired Output Format for Research Findings:** Determine how the findings from the _executed research_ (by the other agent/tool) should ideally be structured for maximum usability (e.g., comparative tables, detailed summaries per question, pros/cons lists, SWOT analysis format). This will inform the prompt.
-    - **Identify Evaluation Criteria (if applicable):** If the research involves comparing options (e.g., technologies, solutions), define the criteria for evaluation (e.g., cost, performance, scalability, ease of integration).
-3.  **Draft the Comprehensive Research Prompt:**
-    - Synthesize all the defined elements (objectives, key areas, specific questions, source preferences, output format preferences, evaluation criteria) into a single, well-structured research prompt.
-    - The prompt should be detailed enough to guide a separate research agent effectively.
-    - Include any necessary context from previous discussions (e.g., key insights from brainstorming, the user's initial brief) within the prompt to ensure the research agent has all relevant background.
-4.  **Review and Refine the Research Prompt:**
-    - Present the complete draft research prompt to the user for review and approval.
-    - Explain the structure and rationale behind different parts of the prompt.
-    - Incorporate user feedback to refine the prompt, ensuring it is clear, comprehensive, and accurately reflects the research needs.
-5.  **Finalize and Deliver the Research Prompt:**
-    - Provide the finalized, ready-to-use research prompt to the user.
-    - <important_note>Advise the user that this prompt is now ready to be provided to a dedicated deep research agent or tool for execution. Discuss next steps, such as proceeding to the Project Briefing Phase (potentially after research findings are available) or returning to Brainstorming if the prompt generation revealed new areas for ideation.</important_note>

-## Project Briefing Phase
-
-### Instructions
-
-- State that you will use the attached `project-brief-tmpl` as the structure
-- Guide through defining each section of the template:
-  - IF NOT YOLO - Proceed through the template 1 section at a time
-  - IF YOLO Mode: You will present the full draft at once for feedback.
-- With each section (or with the full draft in YOLO mode), ask targeted clarifying questions about:
-  - Concept, problem, goals
-  - Target users
-  - MVP scope
-  - Post MVP scope
-  - Platform/technology preferences
-  - Initial thoughts on repository structure (monorepo/polyrepo) or overall service architecture (monolith, microservices), to be captured under "Known Technical Constraints or Preferences / Initial Architectural Preferences". Explain this is not a final decision, but for awareness.
-- Actively incorporate research findings if available (from the execution of a previously generated research prompt)
-- Help distinguish essential MVP features from future enhancements

-   - Update task/subtask status in change request as you progress through platform layers.
-
-3. **Testing & Validation:**
-
-   - Validate platform infrastructure changes in non-production environment first, including integration testing between platform layers.
-   - Run security and compliance checks on infrastructure code and platform configurations.
-   - Verify monitoring and alerting is properly configured across the entire platform stack.
-   - Test disaster recovery procedures and document recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) for the complete platform.
-   - Validate backup and restore operations for critical platform components.
-   - All validation tests MUST pass before deployment to production.
-
-4. **Handling Blockers & Clarifications:**
-
-   - If security concerns or documentation conflicts arise:
-     a. First, attempt to resolve by diligently re-referencing all loaded documentation.
-     b. If blocker persists: document issue, analysis, and specific questions in change request.
-     c. Concisely present issue & questions to user for clarification/decision.
-     d. Await user clarification/approval. Document resolution in change request before proceeding.
-
-5. **Pre-Completion Review & Cleanup:**
-
-   - Ensure all change tasks & subtasks are marked complete. Verify all validation tests pass.
-   - <critical_rule>Review `Debug Log`. Meticulously revert all temporary changes. Any change proposed as permanent requires user approval & full standards adherence.</critical_rule>
-   - <critical_rule>Meticulously verify infrastructure change against each item in `docs/checklists/infrastructure-checklist.md`.</critical_rule>
-   - Address any unmet checklist items.
-   - Prepare itemized "Infrastructure Change Validation Report" in change request file.
-
-6. **Final Handoff for User Approval:**
-   - <important_note>Final confirmation: Infrastructure meets security guidelines & all checklist items are verifiably met.</important_note>
-   - Present "Infrastructure Change Validation Report" summary to user.
-   - <critical_rule>Update change request `Status: Review` if all tasks and validation checks are complete.</critical_rule>
-   - State change implementation is complete & HALT!

-## Response Frameworks
-
-### For Technical Solutions
-
-1. **Domain Analysis** - Identify which infrastructure domains are involved
-2. **Recommended approach** with rationale based on domain best practices
-3. **Implementation steps** following domain-specific patterns
-4. **Verification methods** appropriate to the domain
-5. **Potential issues & troubleshooting** common to the domain
-
-### For Architectural Recommendations
-
-1. **Requirements summary** with domain mapping
-2. **Architecture diagram/description** showing domain boundaries
-3. **Component breakdown** with domain-specific rationale
-4. **Implementation considerations** per domain
-5. **Alternative approaches** across domains
-
-### For Troubleshooting
-
-1. **Domain classification** - Which infrastructure domain is affected
-2. **Diagnostic commands/steps** following domain practices
-3. **Likely root causes** based on domain patterns
-4. **Resolution steps** using domain-appropriate tools
-5. **Prevention measures** aligned with domain best practices
-
-## Meta-Reasoning Approach
-
-For complex technical problems, use a structured meta-reasoning approach:
-
-1. **Parse the request** - "Let me understand what you're asking about..."
-2. **Identify key infrastructure domains** - "This involves [domain] with considerations for [related domains]..."
-3. **Evaluate solution options** - "Within this domain, there are several approaches..."
-4. **Select and justify approach** - "I recommend [option] because it aligns with [domain] best practices..."
-5. **Self-verify** - "To verify this solution works across all affected domains..."
-
-## Commands
-
-- /help - list these commands
-- /core-dump - ensure change tasks and notes are recorded as of now
-- /validate-infra - run infrastructure validation tests
-- /security-scan - execute security scan on infrastructure code
-- /cost-estimate - generate cost analysis for infrastructure change
-- /platform-status - check status of integrated platform stack implementation

-# Checklist Validation Task
-
-This task provides instructions for validating documentation against checklists. The agent should follow these instructions to ensure thorough and systematic validation of documents.
-
-## Context
-
-The BMAD Method uses various checklists to ensure quality and completeness of different artifacts. The mapping between checklists and their required documents is defined in `checklist-mappings`. This allows for easy addition of new checklists without modifying this task.
-
-## Instructions
-
-1. **Initial Assessment**
-
-   - Check `checklist-mappings` for available checklists
-   - If user provides a checklist name:
-     - Look for exact match in checklist-mappings.yml
-     - If no exact match, try fuzzy matching (e.g. "architecture checklist" -> "architect-checklist")
-     - If multiple matches found, ask user to clarify
-     - Once matched, use the checklist_file path from the mapping
-   - If no checklist specified:
-     - Ask the user which checklist they want to use
-     - Present available options from checklist-mappings.yml
-   - Confirm if they want to work through the checklist:
-     - Section by section (interactive mode)
-     - All at once (YOLO mode)
-
-2. **Document Location**
-
-   - Look up the required documents and default locations in `checklist-mappings`
-   - For each required document:
-     - Check all default locations specified in the mapping
-     - If not found, ask the user for the document location
-   - Verify all required documents are accessible
-
-3. **Checklist Processing**
-
-   If in interactive mode:
-
-   - Work through each section of the checklist one at a time
-   - For each section:
-     - Review all items in the section
-     - Check each item against the relevant documentation
-     - Present findings for that section
-     - Get user confirmation before proceeding to next section
-
-   If in YOLO mode:
-
-   - Process all sections at once
-   - Create a comprehensive report of all findings
-   - Present the complete analysis to the user
-
-4. **Validation Approach**
-
-   For each checklist item:
-
-   - Read and understand the requirement
-   - Look for evidence in the documentation that satisfies the requirement
-   - Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
-   - Mark items as:
-     - ✅ PASS: Requirement clearly met
-     - ❌ FAIL: Requirement not met or insufficient coverage
-     - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some aspects covered but needs improvement
-     - N/A: Not applicable to this case
-
-5. **Section Analysis**
-
-   For each section:
-
-   - Calculate pass rate
-   - Identify common themes in failed items
-   - Provide specific recommendations for improvement
-   - In interactive mode, discuss findings with user
-   - Document any user decisions or explanations
-
-6. **Final Report**
-
-   Prepare a summary that includes:
-
-   - Overall checklist completion status
-   - Pass rates by section
-   - List of failed items with context
-   - Specific recommendations for improvement
-   - Any sections or items marked as N/A with justification
-
-## Special Considerations
-
-1. **Architecture Checklist**
-
-   - Focus on technical completeness and clarity

-   - Verify state management approach
-   - Ensure responsive design considerations
-
-3. **PM Checklist**
-
-   - Focus on product requirements clarity
-   - Verify user stories and acceptance criteria
-   - Check market and user research coverage
-   - Ensure technical feasibility is addressed
-
-4. **Story Checklists**
-   - Verify clear acceptance criteria
-   - Check for technical context and dependencies
-   - Ensure testability is addressed
-   - Validate user value is clearly stated
-
-## Success Criteria
-
-The checklist validation is complete when:
-
-1. All applicable items have been assessed
-2. Clear pass/fail status for each item
-3. Specific recommendations provided for failed items
-4. User has reviewed and acknowledged findings
-5. Final report documents all decisions and rationales
-
-## Example Interaction
-
-Agent: "Let me check the available checklists... According to checklist-mappings.yml, we have several options. Which would you like to use?"
-
-User: "The architect checklist"
-
-Agent: "Would you like to work through it section by section (interactive) or get a complete analysis all at once (YOLO mode)?"
-
-User: "Interactive please"
-
-Agent: "According to the mappings, I need to check for architecture.md. The default location is docs/architecture.md. Should I look there?"
-

-# Correct Course Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-- Guide a structured response to a change trigger using the `change-checklist`.
-- Analyze the impacts of the change on epics, project artifacts, and the MVP, guided by the checklist's structure.
-- Explore potential solutions (e.g., adjust scope, rollback elements, rescope features) as prompted by the checklist.
-- Draft specific, actionable proposed updates to any affected project artifacts (e.g., epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document sections) based on the analysis.
-- Produce a consolidated "Sprint Change Proposal" document that contains the impact analysis and the clearly drafted proposed edits for user review and approval.
-- Ensure a clear handoff path if the nature of the changes necessitates fundamental replanning by other core agents (like PM or Architect).
-
-## Instructions
-
-### 1. Initial Setup & Mode Selection
-
-- **Acknowledge Task & Inputs:**
-  - Confirm with the user that the "Correct Course Task" (Change Navigation & Integration) is being initiated.
-  - Verify the change trigger and ensure you have the user's initial explanation of the issue and its perceived impact.
-  - Confirm access to all relevant project artifacts (e.g., PRD, Epics/Stories, Architecture Documents, UI/UX Specifications) and, critically, the `change-checklist` (e.g., `change-checklist`).
-- **Establish Interaction Mode:**
-  - Ask the user their preferred interaction mode for this task:
-    - **"Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** Shall we work through the `change-checklist` section by section, discussing findings and collaboratively drafting proposed changes for each relevant part before moving to the next? This allows for detailed, step-by-step refinement."
-    - **"YOLO Mode (Batch Processing):** Or, would you prefer I conduct a more batched analysis based on the checklist and then present a consolidated set of findings and proposed changes for a broader review? This can be quicker for initial assessment but might require more extensive review of the combined proposals."
-  - Request the user to select their preferred mode.
-  - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed.
-- **Explain Process:** Briefly inform the user: "We will now use the `change-checklist` to analyze the change and draft proposed updates. I will guide you through the checklist items based on our chosen interaction mode."
-  <rule>When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points for user input at once, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make it easier for the user to provide specific responses.</rule>
-
-### 2. Execute Checklist Analysis (Iteratively or Batched, per Interaction Mode)
-
-- Systematically work through Sections 1-4 of the `change-checklist` (typically covering Change Context, Epic/Story Impact Analysis, Artifact Conflict Resolution, and Path Evaluation/Recommendation).
-- For each checklist item or logical group of items (depending on interaction mode):
-  - Present the relevant prompt(s) or considerations from the checklist to the user.
-  - Request necessary information and actively analyze the relevant project artifacts (PRD, epics, architecture documents, story history, etc.) to assess the impact.
-  - Discuss your findings for each item with the user.
-  - Record the status of each checklist item (e.g., `[x] Addressed`, `[N/A]`, `[!] Further Action Needed`) and any pertinent notes or decisions.
-  - Collaboratively agree on the "Recommended Path Forward" as prompted by Section 4 of the checklist.
-
-### 3. Draft Proposed Changes (Iteratively or Batched)
-
-- Based on the completed checklist analysis (Sections 1-4) and the agreed "Recommended Path Forward" (excluding scenarios requiring fundamental replans that would necessitate immediate handoff to PM/Architect):
-  - Identify the specific project artifacts that require updates (e.g., specific epics, user stories, PRD sections, architecture document components, diagrams).
-  - **Draft the proposed changes directly and explicitly for each identified artifact.** Examples include:
-    - Revising user story text, acceptance criteria, or priority.
-    - Adding, removing, reordering, or splitting user stories within epics.
-    - Proposing modified architecture diagram snippets (e.g., providing an updated Mermaid diagram block or a clear textual description of the change to an existing diagram).
-    - Updating technology lists, configuration details, or specific sections within the PRD or architecture documents.
-    - Drafting new, small supporting artifacts if necessary (e.g., a brief addendum for a specific decision).
-  - If in "Incremental Mode," discuss and refine these proposed edits for each artifact or small group of related artifacts with the user as they are drafted.
-  - If in "YOLO Mode," compile all drafted edits for presentation in the next step.
-
-### 4. Generate "Sprint Change Proposal" with Edits
-
-- Synthesize the complete `change-checklist` analysis (covering findings from Sections 1-4) and all the agreed-upon proposed edits (from Instruction 3) into a single document titled "Sprint Change Proposal." This proposal should align with the structure suggested by Section 5 of the `change-checklist` (Proposal Components).
-- The proposal must clearly present:
-  - **Analysis Summary:** A concise overview of the original issue, its analyzed impact (on epics, artifacts, MVP scope), and the rationale for the chosen path forward.
-  - **Specific Proposed Edits:** For each affected artifact, clearly show or describe the exact changes (e.g., "Change Story X.Y from: [old text] To: [new text]", "Add new Acceptance Criterion to Story A.B: [new AC]", "Update Section 3.2 of Architecture Document as follows: [new/modified text or diagram description]").
-- Present the complete draft of the "Sprint Change Proposal" to the user for final review and feedback. Incorporate any final adjustments requested by the user.
-
-### 5. Finalize & Determine Next Steps
-
-- Obtain explicit user approval for the "Sprint Change Proposal," including all the specific edits documented within it.
-- Provide the finalized "Sprint Change Proposal" document to the user.
-- **Based on the nature of the approved changes:**
-  - **If the approved edits sufficiently address the change and can be implemented directly or organized by a PO/SM:** State that the "Correct Course Task" is complete regarding analysis and change proposal, and the user can now proceed with implementing or logging these changes (e.g., updating actual project documents, backlog items). Suggest handoff to a PO/SM agent for backlog organization if appropriate.
-  - **If the analysis and proposed path (as per checklist Section 4 and potentially Section 6) indicate that the change requires a more fundamental replan (e.g., significant scope change, major architectural rework):** Clearly state this conclusion. Advise the user that the next step involves engaging the primary PM or Architect agents, using the "Sprint Change Proposal" as critical input and context for that deeper replanning effort.
-
-## Output Deliverables
-
-- **Primary:** A "Sprint Change Proposal" document (in markdown format). This document will contain:
-  - A summary of the `change-checklist` analysis (issue, impact, rationale for the chosen path).
-  - Specific, clearly drafted proposed edits for all affected project artifacts.
-- **Implicit:** An annotated `change-checklist` (or the record of its completion) reflecting the discussions, findings, and decisions made during the process.

-# Create AI Frontend Prompt Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-To generate a masterful, comprehensive, and optimized prompt that can be used with AI-driven frontend development tools (e.g., Lovable, Vercel v0, or similar) to scaffold or generate significant portions of the frontend application.
-
-## Inputs
-
-- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec-tmpl`)
-- Completed Frontend Architecture Document (`front-end-architecture`)
-- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` - for API contracts and tech stack)
-- Primary Design Files (Figma, Sketch, etc. - for visual context if the tool can accept it or if descriptions are needed)
-
-## Key Activities & Instructions
-
-1.  **Confirm Target AI Generation Platform:**
-
-    - Ask the user to specify which AI frontend generation tool/platform they intend to use (e.g., "Lovable.ai", "Vercel v0", "GPT-4 with direct code generation instructions", etc.).
-    - Explain that prompt optimization might differ slightly based on the platform's capabilities and preferred input format.
-
-2.  **Synthesize Inputs into a Structured Prompt:**
-
-    - **Overall Project Context:**
-      - Briefly state the project's purpose (from brief/PRD).
-      - Specify the chosen frontend framework, core libraries, and UI component library (from `front-end-architecture` and main `architecture`).
-      - Mention the styling approach (e.g., Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules).
-    - **Design System & Visuals:**
-      - Reference the primary design files (e.g., Figma link).
-      - If the tool doesn't directly ingest design files, describe the overall visual style, color palette, typography, and key branding elements (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`).
-      - List any global UI components or design tokens that should be defined or adhered to.
-    - **Application Structure & Routing:**
-      - Describe the main pages/views and their routes (from `front-end-architecture` - Routing Strategy).
-      - Outline the navigation structure (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`).
-    - **Key User Flows & Page-Level Interactions:**
-      - For a few critical user flows (from `front-end-spec-tmpl`):
-        - Describe the sequence of user actions and expected UI changes on each relevant page.
-        - Specify API calls to be made (referencing API endpoints from the main `architecture`) and how data should be displayed or used.
-    - **Component Generation Instructions (Iterative or Key Components):**
-      - Based on the chosen AI tool's capabilities, decide on a strategy:
-        - **Option 1 (Scaffolding):** Prompt for the generation of main page structures, layouts, and placeholders for components.
-        - **Option 2 (Key Component Generation):** Select a few critical or complex components from the `front-end-architecture` (Component Breakdown) and provide detailed specifications for them (props, state, basic behavior, key UI elements).
-        - **Option 3 (Holistic, if tool supports):** Attempt to describe the entire application structure and key components more broadly.
-      - <important_note>Advise the user that generating an entire complex application perfectly in one go is rare. Iterative prompting or focusing on sections/key components is often more effective.</important_note>
-    - **State Management (High-Level Pointers):**
-      - Mention the chosen state management solution (e.g., "Use Redux Toolkit").
-      - For key pieces of data, indicate if they should be managed in global state.
-    - **API Integration Points:**
-      - For pages/components that fetch or submit data, clearly state the relevant API endpoints (from `architecture`) and the expected data shapes (can reference schemas in `data-models` or `api-reference` sections of the architecture doc).
-    - **Critical "Don'ts" or Constraints:**
-      - e.g., "Do not use deprecated libraries." "Ensure all forms have basic client-side validation."
-    - **Platform-Specific Optimizations:**
-      - If the chosen AI tool has known best practices for prompting (e.g., specific keywords, structure, level of detail), incorporate them. (This might require the agent to have some general knowledge or to ask the user if they know any such specific prompt modifiers for their chosen tool).
-
-3.  **Present and Refine the Master Prompt:**
-    - Output the generated prompt in a clear, copy-pasteable format (e.g., a large code block).
-    - Explain the structure of the prompt and why certain information was included.
-    - Work with the user to refine the prompt based on their knowledge of the target AI tool and any specific nuances they want to emphasize.
-    - <important_note>Remind the user that the generated code from the AI tool will likely require review, testing, and further refinement by developers.</important_note>

-# Architecture Creation Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-- To design a complete, robust, and well-documented technical architecture based on the project requirements (PRD, epics, brief), research findings, and user input.
-- To make definitive technology choices and articulate the rationale behind them, leveraging the architecture template as a structural guide.
-- To produce all necessary technical artifacts, ensuring the architecture is optimized for efficient implementation, particularly by AI developer agents, and validated against the `architect-checklist`.
-
-## Instructions
-
-1.  **Input Analysis & Dialogue Establishment:**
-
-    - Ensure you have all necessary inputs: PRD document (specifically checking for the 'Technical Assumptions' and 'Initial Architect Prompt' sections for the decided repository and service architecture), project brief, any deep research reports, and optionally a `technical-preferences.md`. Request any missing critical documents.
-    - Thoroughly review all inputs.
-    - Summarize key technical requirements, constraints, NFRs (Non-Functional Requirements), and the decided repository/service architecture derived from the inputs. Present this summary to the user for confirmation and to ensure mutual understanding.
-    - Share initial architectural observations, potential challenges, or areas needing clarification based on the inputs.
-      **Establish Interaction Mode for Architecture Creation:**
-      - Ask the user: "How would you like to proceed with creating the architecture for this project? We can work:
-        A. **Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** We'll go through each architectural decision, document section, or design point step-by-step. I'll present drafts, and we'll seek your feedback and confirmation before moving to the next part. This is best for complex decisions and detailed refinement.
-        B. **"YOLO" Mode:** I can produce a more comprehensive initial draft of the architecture (or significant portions) for you to review more broadly first. We can then iterate on specific sections based on your feedback. This can be quicker for generating initial ideas but is generally not recommended if detailed collaboration at each step is preferred."
-      - Request the user to select their preferred mode (e.g., "Please let me know if you'd prefer A or B.").
-      - Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps in this task are executed.
-
-2.  **Resolve Ambiguities & Gather Missing Information:**
-
-    - If key information is missing or requirements are unclear after initial review, formulate specific, targeted questions.
-    - **External API Details:** If the project involves integration with external APIs, especially those that are less common or where you lack high confidence in your training data regarding their specific request/response schemas, and if a "Deep Research" phase was not conducted for these APIs:
-      - Proactively ask the user to provide precise details. This includes:
-        - Links to the official API documentation.
-        - Example request structures (e.g., cURL commands, JSON payloads).
-        - Example response structures (e.g., JSON responses for typical scenarios, including error responses).
-      - Explain that this information is crucial for accurately defining API interaction contracts within the architecture, for creating robust facades/adapters, and for enabling accurate technical planning (e.g., for technical stories or epic refinements).
-    - Present questions to the user (batched logically if multiple) and await their input.
-    - Document all decisions and clarifications received before proceeding.
-
-3.  **Iterative Technology Selection & Design (Interactive, if not YOLO mode):**
-
-    - For each major architectural component or decision point (e.g., frontend framework, backend language/framework, database system, cloud provider, key services, communication patterns):
-      - If multiple viable options exist based on requirements or research, present 2-3 choices, briefly outlining their pros, cons, and relevance to the project. Consider any preferences stated in `technical-preferences.md` when formulating these options and your recommendation.
-      - State your recommended choice, providing a clear rationale based on requirements, research findings, user preferences (if known), and best practices (e.g., scalability, cost, team familiarity, ecosystem).
-      - Ask for user feedback, address concerns, and seek explicit approval before finalizing the decision.
-      - Document the confirmed choice and its rationale within the architecture document.
-    - **Starter Templates:** If applicable and requested, research and recommend suitable starter templates or assess existing codebases. Explain alignment with project goals and seek user confirmation.
-
-4.  **Create Technical Artifacts (Incrementally, unless YOLO mode, guided by `architecture-tmpl`):**
-
-    - For each artifact or section of the main Architecture Document:
-
-      - **Explain Purpose:** Briefly describe the artifact/section's importance and what it will cover.
-      - **Draft Section-by-Section:** Present a draft of one logical section at a time.
-        - Ensure the 'High-Level Overview' and 'Component View' sections accurately reflect and detail the repository/service architecture decided in the PRD.
-        - Ensure that documented Coding Standards (either as a dedicated section or referenced) and the 'Testing Strategy' section clearly define:
-          - The convention for unit test file location (e.g., co-located with source files, or in a separate folder like `tests/` or `__tests__/`).
-          - The naming convention for unit test files (e.g., `*.test.js`, `*.spec.ts`, `test_*.py`).
-        - When discussing Coding Standards, inform the user that these will serve as firm rules for the AI developer agent. Emphasize that these standards should be kept to the minimum necessary to prevent undesirable or messy code from the agent. Guide the user to understand that overly prescriptive or obvious standards (e.g., "use SOLID principles," which well-trained LLMs should already know) should be avoided, as the user, knowing the specific agents and tools they will employ, can best judge the appropriate level of detail.
-        - **Incorporate Feedback:** Discuss the draft with the user, incorporate their feedback, and iterate as needed.
-        - [Offer Advanced Self-Refinement & Elicitation Options](#offer-advanced-self-refinement--elicitation-options)
-        - **Seek Approval:** Obtain explicit user approval for the section before moving to the next, or for the entire artifact if drafted holistically (in YOLO mode).
-
-5.  **Identify Missing Technical Stories / Refine Epics (Interactive):**
-
-    - Based on the designed architecture, identify any necessary technical stories/tasks that are not yet captured in the PRD or epics (e.g., "Set up CI/CD pipeline for frontend deployment," "Implement authentication module using JWT," "Create base Docker images for backend services," "Configure initial database schema based on data models").
-    - Explain the importance of these technical stories for enabling the functional requirements and successful project execution.
-    - Collaborate with the user to refine these stories (clear description, acceptance criteria) and suggest adding them to the project backlog or relevant epics.
-    - Review existing epics/stories from the PRD and suggest technical considerations or acceptance criteria refinements to ensure they are implementable based on the chosen architecture. For example, specifying API endpoints to be called, data formats, or critical library versions.
-    - After collaboration, prepare a concise summary detailing all proposed additions, updates, or modifications to epics and user stories. If no changes are identified, explicitly state this.
-
-6.  **Validate Architecture Against Checklist & Finalize Output:**
-    - Once the main architecture document components have been drafted and reviewed with the user, perform a comprehensive review using the `architect-checklist`.
-    - Go through each item in the checklist to ensure the architecture document is comprehensive, addresses all key architectural concerns (e.g., security, scalability, maintainability, testability (including confirmation that coding standards and the testing strategy clearly define unit test location and naming conventions), developer experience), and that proposed solutions are robust.
-    - For each checklist item, confirm its status (e.g., \[x] Completed, \[ ] N/A, \[!] Needs Attention).
-    - If deficiencies, gaps, or areas needing more detail or clarification are identified based on the checklist:
-      - Discuss these findings with the user.
-      - Collaboratively make necessary updates, additions, or refinements to the architecture document to address these points.
-    - After addressing all checklist points and ensuring the architecture document is robust and complete, present a summary of the checklist review to the user. This summary should highlight:
-      - Confirmation that all relevant sections/items of the checklist have been satisfied by the architecture.
-      - Any items marked N/A, with a brief justification.
-      - A brief note on any significant discussions, decisions, or changes made to the architecture document as a result of the checklist review.
-    - **Offer Design Architect Prompt (If Applicable):**
-      - If the architecture includes UI components, ask the user if they would like to include a dedicated prompt for a "Design Architect" at the end of the main architecture document.
-      - Explain that this prompt can capture specific UI considerations, notes from discussions, or decisions that don't fit into the core technical architecture document but are crucial for the Design Architect.
-      - The prompt should also state that the Design Architect will subsequently operate in its specialized mode to define the detailed frontend architecture.
-      - If the user agrees, collaboratively draft this prompt and append it to the architecture document.
-    - Obtain final user approval for the complete architecture documentation generation.
-    - **Recommend Next Steps for UI (If Applicable):**
-      - After the main architecture document is finalized and approved:
-      - If the project involves a user interface (as should be evident from the input PRD and potentially the architecture document itself mentioning UI components or referencing outputs from a Design Architect's UI/UX Specification phase):
-        - Strongly recommend to the user that the next critical step for the UI is to engage the **Design Architect** agent.
-        - Specifically, advise them to use the Design Architect's **'Frontend Architecture Mode'**.
-        - Explain that the Design Architect will use the now-completed main Architecture Document and the detailed UI/UX specifications (e.g., `front-end-spec-tmpl.txt` or enriched PRD) as primary inputs to define the specific frontend architecture, select frontend libraries/frameworks (if not already decided), structure frontend components, and detail interaction patterns.
-
-### Output Deliverables for Architecture Creation Phase
-
-- A comprehensive Architecture Document, structured according to the `architecture-tmpl` (which is all markdown) or an agreed-upon format, including all sections detailed above.
-- Clear Mermaid diagrams for architecture overview, data models, etc.
-- A list of new or refined technical user stories/tasks ready for backlog integration.
-- A summary of any identified changes (additions, updates, modifications) required for existing epics or user stories, or an explicit confirmation if no such changes are needed.

-- Optionally, if UI components are involved and the user agrees: A prompt for a "Design Architect" appended to the main architecture document, summarizing relevant UI considerations and outlining the Design Architect's next steps.
-
-## Offer Advanced Self-Refinement & Elicitation Options
-
-(This section is called when needed prior to this)
-
-Present the user with the following list of 'Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. Explain that these are optional steps to help ensure quality, explore alternatives, and deepen the understanding of the current section before finalizing it and moving on. The user can select an action by number, or choose to skip this and proceed to finalize the section.
-
-"To ensure the quality of the current section: **[Specific Section Name]** and to ensure its robustness, explore alternatives, and consider all angles, I can perform any of the following actions. Please choose a number (8 to finalize and proceed):
-
-**Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions I Can Take:**
-
-{Instruction for AI Agent: Display the title of each numbered item below. If the user asks what a specific option means, provide a brief explanation of the action you will take, drawing from detailed descriptions tailored for the context.}

-## Deep Research Phase
-
-Leveraging advanced analytical capabilities, the Deep Research Phase with the PM is designed to provide targeted, strategic insights crucial for product definition. Unlike the broader exploratory research an Analyst might undertake, the PM utilizes deep research to:
-
-- **Validate Product Hypotheses:** Rigorously test assumptions about market need, user problems, and the viability of specific product concepts.
-- **Refine Target Audience & Value Proposition:** Gain a nuanced understanding of specific user segments, their precise pain points, and how the proposed product delivers unique value to them.
-- **Focused Competitive Analysis:** Analyze competitors through the lens of a specific product idea to identify differentiation opportunities, feature gaps to exploit, and potential market positioning challenges.
-- **De-risk PRD Commitments:** Ensure that the problem, proposed solution, and core features are well-understood and validated _before_ detailed planning and resource allocation in the PRD Generation Mode.
-
-Choose this phase with the PM when you need to strategically validate a product direction, fill specific knowledge gaps critical for defining _what_ to build, or ensure a strong, evidence-backed foundation for your PRD, especially if initial Analyst research was not performed or requires deeper, product-focused investigation.
-
-### Purpose
-
-- To gather foundational information, validate concepts, understand market needs, or analyze competitors when a comprehensive Project Brief from an Analyst is unavailable or insufficient.
-- To ensure the PM has a solid, data-informed basis for defining a valuable and viable product before committing to PRD specifics.
-- To de-risk product decisions by grounding them in targeted research, especially if the user is engaging the PM directly without prior Analyst work or if the initial brief lacks necessary depth.
-
-### Instructions
-
-<critical_rule>Note on Deep Research Execution:</critical_rule>
-To perform deep research effectively, please be aware:
-
-- You may need to use this current conversational agent to help you formulate a comprehensive research prompt, which can then be executed by a dedicated deep research model or function.
-- Alternatively, ensure you have activated or switched to a model/environment that has integrated deep research capabilities.
-  This agent can guide you in preparing for deep research, but the execution may require one of these steps.
-
-1.  **Assess Inputs & Identify Gaps:**
-    - Review any existing inputs (user's initial idea, high-level requirements, partial brief from Analyst, etc.).
-    - Clearly identify critical knowledge gaps concerning:
-      - Target audience (needs, pain points, behaviors, key segments).
-      - Market landscape (size, trends, opportunities, potential saturation).
-      - Competitive analysis (key direct/indirect competitors, their offerings, strengths, weaknesses, market positioning, potential differentiators for this product).
-      - Problem/Solution validation (evidence supporting the proposed solution's value and fit for the identified problem).
-      - High-level technical or resource considerations (potential major roadblocks or dependencies).
-2.  **Formulate Research Plan:**
-    - Define specific, actionable research questions to address the identified gaps.
-    - Propose targeted research activities (e.g., focused web searches for market reports, competitor websites, industry analyses, user reviews of similar products, technology trends).
-    - <important_note>Confirm this research plan, scope, and key questions with the user before proceeding with research execution.</important_note>
-3.  **Execute Research:**
-    - Conduct the planned research activities systematically.
-    - Prioritize gathering credible, relevant, and actionable insights that directly inform product definition and strategy.
-4.  **Synthesize & Present Findings:**
-    - Organize and summarize key research findings in a clear, concise, and easily digestible manner (e.g., bullet points, brief summaries per research question).
-    - Highlight the most critical implications for the product's vision, strategy, target audience, core features, and potential risks.
-    - Present these synthesized findings and their implications to the user.
-5.  **Discussing and Utilizing Research Output:**
-    - The comprehensive findings/report from this Deep Research phase can be substantial. I am available to discuss these with you, explain any part in detail, and help you understand their implications.
-    - **Options for Utilizing These Findings for PRD Generation:**
-      1.  **Full Handoff to New PM Session:** The complete research output can serve as a foundational document if you initiate a _new_ session with a Product Manager (PM) agent who will then execute the 'PRD Generate Task'.
-      2.  **Key Insights Summary for This Session:** I can prepare a concise summary of the most critical findings, tailored to be directly actionable as we (in this current session) transition to potentially invoking the 'PRD Generate Task'.
-    - <critical_rule>Regardless of how you proceed, it is highly recommended that these research findings (either the full output or the key insights summary) are provided as direct input when invoking the 'PRD Generate Task'. This ensures the PRD is built upon a solid, evidence-based foundation.</critical_rule>
-6.  **Confirm Readiness for PRD Generation:**
-    - Discuss with the user whether the gathered information provides a sufficient and confident foundation to proceed to the 'PRD Generate Task'.
-    - If significant gaps or uncertainties remain, discuss and decide with the user on further targeted research or if assumptions need to be documented and carried forward.
-    - Once confirmed, clearly state that the next step could be to invoke the 'PRD Generate Task' or, if applicable, revisit other phase options.

-# Create Frontend Architecture Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-To define the technical architecture for the frontend application. This includes selecting appropriate patterns, structuring the codebase, defining component strategy, planning state management, outlining API interactions, and setting up testing and deployment approaches, all while adhering to the guidelines in `front-end-architecture-tmpl` template.
-
-## Inputs
-
-- Product Requirements Document (PRD) (`prd-tmpl` or equivalent)
-- Completed UI/UX Specification (`front-end-spec-tmpl` or equivalent)
-- Main System Architecture Document (`architecture` or equivalent) - The agent executing this task should particularly note the overall system structure (Monorepo/Polyrepo, backend service architecture) detailed here, as it influences frontend patterns.
-- Primary Design Files (Figma, Sketch, etc., linked from UI/UX Spec)
-
-## Key Activities & Instructions
-
-### 1. Confirm Interaction Mode
-
-- Ask the user: "How would you like to proceed with creating the frontend architecture? We can work:
-  A. **Incrementally (Default & Recommended):** We'll go through each architectural decision and document section step-by-step. I'll present drafts, and we'll seek your feedback and confirmation before moving to the next part. This is best for complex decisions and detailed refinement.
-  B. **"YOLO" Mode:** I can produce a more comprehensive initial draft of the frontend architecture for you to review more broadly first. We can then iterate on specific sections based on your feedback. This can be quicker for generating initial ideas but is generally not recommended if detailed collaboration at each step is preferred."
-- Request the user to select their preferred mode (e.g., "Please let me know if you'd prefer A or B.").
-- Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode (e.g., "Okay, we will proceed in Incremental mode."). This chosen mode will govern how subsequent steps are executed.
-
-### 2. Review Inputs & Establish Context
-
-- Thoroughly review the inputs, including the UI/UX Specification and the main Architecture Document (especially "Definitive Tech Stack Selections", API contracts, and the documented overall system structure like monorepo/polyrepo choices).
-- Ask clarifying questions to bridge any gaps between the UI/UX vision and the overall system architecture.
-
-### 3. Define Overall Frontend Philosophy & Patterns (for `front-end-architecture`)
-
-- Based on the main architecture's tech stack and overall system structure (monorepo/polyrepo, backend service details), confirm and detail:
-  - Framework & Core Libraries choices.
-  - High-level Component Architecture strategy.
-  - High-level State Management Strategy.
-  - Data Flow principles.
-  - Styling Approach.
-  - Key Design Patterns to be employed.
-
-### 4. Specify Detailed Frontend Directory Structure (for `front-end-architecture`)
-
-- Collaboratively define or refine the frontend-specific directory structure, ensuring it aligns with the chosen framework and promotes modularity and scalability.
-
-### 5. Outline Component Strategy & Conventions (for `front-end-architecture`)
-
-- Define Component Naming & Organization conventions.
-- Establish the "Template for Component Specification" (as per `front-end-architecture`), emphasizing that most components will be detailed emergently but must follow this template.
-- Optionally, specify a few absolutely foundational/shared UI components (e.g., a generic Button or Modal wrapper if the chosen UI library needs one, or if no UI library is used).
-
-### 6. Detail State Management Setup & Conventions (for `front-end-architecture`)
-
-- Based on the high-level strategy, detail:
-  - Chosen Solution and core setup.
-  - Conventions for Store Structure / Slices (e.g., "feature-based slices"). Define any genuinely global/core slices (e.g., session/auth).
-  - Conventions for Selectors and Actions/Reducers/Thunks. Provide templates or examples.
-
-### 7. Plan API Interaction Layer (for `front-end-architecture`)
-
-- Define the HTTP Client Setup.
-- Establish patterns for Service Definitions (how API calls will be encapsulated).
-- Outline frontend Error Handling & Retry strategies for API calls.
-
-### 8. Define Routing Strategy (for `front-end-architecture`)
-
-- Confirm the Routing Library.
-- Collaboratively define the main Route Definitions and any Route Guards.
-
-### 9. Specify Build, Bundling, and Deployment Details (for `front-end-architecture`)
-
-- Outline the frontend-specific Build Process & Scripts.
-- Discuss and document Key Bundling Optimizations.
-- Confirm Deployment to CDN/Hosting details relevant to the frontend.
-
-### 10. Refine Frontend Testing Strategy (for `front-end-architecture`)
-
-- Elaborate on the main testing strategy with specifics for: Component Testing, UI Integration/Flow Testing, and E2E UI Testing scope and tools.
-
-### 11. Outline Performance Considerations (for `front-end-architecture`)
-
-- List key frontend-specific performance strategies to be employed.
-
-### 12. Document Drafting & Confirmation (Guided by `front-end-architecture-tmpl`)
-
-- **If "Incremental Mode" was selected:**
-
-  - For each relevant section of the `front-end-architecture` (as outlined in steps 3-11 above, covering topics from Overall Philosophy to Performance Considerations):
-
-    - **a. Explain Purpose & Draft Section:** Explain the purpose of the section and present a draft for that section.
-    - **b. Initial Discussion & Feedback:** Discuss the draft with the user, incorporate their feedback, and iterate as needed for initial revisions.
-    - **c. [Offer Advanced Self-Refinement & Elicitation Options](#offer-advanced-self-refinement--elicitation-options)**
-
-    - **d. Final Approval & Documentation:** Obtain explicit user approval for the section. Ensure all placeholder links and references are correctly noted within each section. Then proceed to the next section.
-
-  - Once all sections are individually approved through this process, confirm with the user that the overall `front-end-architecture` document is populated and ready for Step 13 (Epic/Story Impacts) and then the checklist review (Step 14).
-
-- **If "YOLO Mode" was selected:**
-  - Collaboratively populate all relevant sections of the `front-end-architecture-tmpl` (as outlined in steps 3-11 above) to create a comprehensive first draft.
-  - Present the complete draft of `front-end-architecture` to the user for a holistic review.
-  - <important_note>After presenting the full draft in YOLO mode, you MAY still offer a condensed version of the 'Advanced Reflective & Elicitation Options' menu, perhaps focused on a few key overarching review actions (e.g., overall requirements alignment, major risk assessment) if the user wishes to perform a structured deep dive before detailed section-by-section feedback.</important_note>
-  - Obtain explicit user approval for the entire `front-end-architecture` document before proceeding to Step 13 (Epic/Story Impacts) and then the checklist review (Step 14).
-
-### 13. Identify & Summarize Epic/Story Impacts (Frontend Focus)
-
-- After the `front-end-architecture` is confirmed, review it in context of existing epics and user stories (if provided or known).
-- Identify any frontend-specific technical tasks that might need to be added as new stories or sub-tasks (e.g., "Implement responsive layout for product details page based on defined breakpoints," "Set up X state management slice for user profile," "Develop reusable Y component as per specification").
-- Identify if any existing user stories require refinement of their acceptance criteria due to frontend architectural decisions (e.g., specifying interaction details, component usage, or performance considerations for UI elements).
-- Collaborate with the user to define these additions or refinements.
-- Prepare a concise summary detailing all proposed additions, updates, or modifications to epics and user stories related to the frontend. If no changes are identified, explicitly state this (e.g., "No direct impacts on existing epics/stories were identified from the frontend architecture").
-
-### 14. Checklist Review and Finalization
-
-- Once the `front-end-architecture` has been populated and reviewed with the user, and epic/story impacts have been summarized, use the `frontend-architecture-checklist`.
-- Go through each item in the checklist to ensure the `front-end-architecture` is comprehensive and all sections are adequately addressed - for each checklist item you MUST consider if it is really complete or deficient.
-- For each checklist section, confirm its status (e.g., \[x] Completed, \[ ] N/A, \[!] Needs Attention).
-- If deficiencies or areas needing more detail are identified with a section:
-  - Discuss these with the user.
-  - Collaboratively make necessary updates or additions to the `front-end-architecture`.
-- After addressing all points and ensuring the document is robust, present a summary of the checklist review to the user. This summary should highlight:
-  - Confirmation that all relevant sections of the checklist have been satisfied.
-  - Any items marked N/A and a brief reason.
-  - A brief note on any significant discussions or changes made as a result of the checklist review.
-- The goal is to ensure the `front-end-architecture` is a complete and actionable document.

-# Create Next Story Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-To identify the next logical story based on project progress and epic definitions, and then to prepare a comprehensive, self-contained, and actionable story file using the `Story Template`. This task ensures the story is enriched with all necessary technical context, requirements, and acceptance criteria, making it ready for efficient implementation by a Developer Agent with minimal need for additional research.
-
-## Inputs for this Task
-
-- Access to the project's documentation repository, specifically:
-  - `docs/index.md` (hereafter "Index Doc")
-  - All Epic files (e.g., `docs/epic-{n}.md` - hereafter "Epic Files")
-  - Existing story files in `docs/stories/`
-  - Main PRD (hereafter "PRD Doc")
-  - Main Architecture Document (hereafter "Main Arch Doc")
-  - Frontend Architecture Document (hereafter "Frontend Arch Doc," if relevant)
-  - Project Structure Guide (`docs/project-structure.md`)
-  - Operational Guidelines Document (`docs/operational-guidelines.md`)
-  - Technology Stack Document (`docs/tech-stack.md`)
-  - Data Models Document (as referenced in Index Doc)
-  - API Reference Document (as referenced in Index Doc)
-  - UI/UX Specifications, Style Guides, Component Guides (if relevant, as referenced in Index Doc)
-- The `bmad-agent/templates/story-tmpl.md` (hereafter "Story Template")
-- The `bmad-agent/checklists/story-draft-checklist.md` (hereafter "Story Draft Checklist")
-- User confirmation to proceed with story identification and, if needed, to override warnings about incomplete prerequisite stories.
-
-## Task Execution Instructions
-
-### 1. Identify Next Story for Preparation
-
-- Review `docs/stories/` to find the highest-numbered story file.
-- **If a highest story file exists (`{lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md`):**
-
-  - Verify its `Status` is 'Done' (or equivalent).
-  - If not 'Done', present an alert to the user:
-
-    ```
-    ALERT: Found incomplete story:
-    File: {lastEpicNum}.{lastStoryNum}.story.md
-    Status: [current status]
-
-    Would you like to:
-    1. View the incomplete story details (instructs user to do so, agent does not display)
-    2. Cancel new story creation at this time
-    3. Accept risk & Override to create the next story in draft
-
-    Please choose an option (1/2/3):
-    ```
-
-  - Proceed only if user selects option 3 (Override) or if the last story was 'Done'.
-  - If proceeding: Check the Epic File for `{lastEpicNum}` for a story numbered `{lastStoryNum + 1}`. If it exists and its prerequisites (per Epic File) are met, this is the next story.
-  - Else (story not found or prerequisites not met): The next story is the first story in the next Epic File (e.g., `docs/epic-{lastEpicNum + 1}.md`, then `{lastEpicNum + 2}.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.
-
-- **If no story files exist in `docs/stories/`:**
-  - The next story is the first story in `docs/epic-1.md` (then `docs/epic-2.md`, etc.) whose prerequisites are met.
-- If no suitable story with met prerequisites is found, report to the user that story creation is blocked, specifying what prerequisites are pending. HALT task.
-- Announce the identified story to the user: "Identified next story for preparation: {epicNum}.{storyNum} - {Story Title}".
-
-### 2. Gather Core Story Requirements (from Epic File)
-
-- For the identified story, open its parent Epic File.
-- Extract: Exact Title, full Goal/User Story statement, initial list of Requirements, all Acceptance Criteria (ACs), and any predefined high-level Tasks.
-- Keep a record of this original epic-defined scope for later deviation analysis.
-
-### 3. Gather & Synthesize In-Depth Technical Context for Dev Agent
-
-- <critical_rule>Systematically use the Index Doc (`docs/index.md`) as your primary guide to discover paths to ALL detailed documentation relevant to the current story's implementation needs.</critical_rule>
-- Thoroughly review the PRD Doc, Main Arch Doc, and Frontend Arch Doc (if a UI story).
-- Guided by the Index Doc and the story's needs, locate, analyze, and synthesize specific, relevant information from sources such as:
-  - Data Models Doc (structure, validation rules).
-  - API Reference Doc (endpoints, request/response schemas, auth).
-  - Applicable architectural patterns or component designs from Arch Docs.
-  - UI/UX Specs, Style Guides, Component Guides (for UI stories).
-  - Specifics from Tech Stack Doc if versions or configurations are key for this story.
-  - Relevant sections of the Operational Guidelines Doc (e.g., story-specific error handling nuances, security considerations for data handled in this story).
-- The goal is to collect all necessary details the Dev Agent would need, to avoid them having to search extensively. Note any discrepancies between the epic and these details for "Deviation Analysis."
-
-### 4. Verify Project Structure Alignment
-
-- Cross-reference the story's requirements and anticipated file manipulations with the Project Structure Guide (and frontend structure if applicable).
-- Ensure any file paths, component locations, or module names implied by the story align with defined structures.
-- Document any structural conflicts, necessary clarifications, or undefined components/paths in a "Project Structure Notes" section within the story draft.
-
-### 5. Populate Story Template with Full Context
-
-- Create a new story file: `docs/stories/{epicNum}.{storyNum}.story.md`.
-- Use the Story Template to structure the file.
-- Fill in:
-  - Story `{EpicNum}.{StoryNum}: {Short Title Copied from Epic File}`
-  - `Status: Draft`
-  - `Story` (User Story statement from Epic)
-  - `Acceptance Criteria (ACs)` (from Epic, to be refined if needed based on context)
-- **`Dev Technical Guidance` section (CRITICAL):**
-  - Based on all context gathered (Step 3 & 4), embed concise but critical snippets of information, specific data structures, API endpoint details, precise references to _specific sections_ in other documents (e.g., "See `Data Models Doc#User-Schema-ValidationRules` for details"), or brief explanations of how architectural patterns apply to _this story_.
-  - If UI story, provide specific references to Component/Style Guides relevant to _this story's elements_.
-  - The aim is to make this section the Dev Agent's primary source for _story-specific_ technical context.
-- **`Tasks / Subtasks` section:**
-  - Generate a detailed, sequential list of technical tasks and subtasks the Dev Agent must perform to complete the story, informed by the gathered context.
-  - Link tasks to ACs where applicable (e.g., `Task 1 (AC: 1, 3)`).
-- Add notes on project structure alignment or discrepancies found in Step 4.
-- Prepare content for the "Deviation Analysis" based on discrepancies noted in Step 3.

-# PRD Generate Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-- Transform inputs into core product definition documents conforming to the `prd-tmpl` template.
-- Define clear MVP scope focused on essential functionality.
-- Provide foundation for Architect and eventually AI dev agents.
-
-Remember as you follow the upcoming instructions:
-
-- Your documents form the foundation for the entire development process.
-- Output will be directly used by the Architect to create an architecture document and solution designs to make definitive technical decisions.
-- Your epics/stories will ultimately be transformed into development tasks.
-- While you focus on the "what" not "how", be precise enough to support a logical sequential order of operations that once later further details can logically be followed where a story will complete what is needed.
-
-## Instructions
-
-### 1. Define Project Workflow Context
-
-- Before PRD generation, ask the user to choose their intended workflow:
-
-  A. **Outcome Focused (Default):** (Agent defines outcome-focused User Stories, leaving detailed technical "how" for Architect/Scrum Master. Capture nuances as "Notes for Architect/Scrum Master in the Prompt for Architect.")
-
-  B. **Very Technical (Not Recommended):** (Agent adopts a "solution-aware" stance, providing more detailed, implementation-aware Acceptance Criteria to bridge to development, potentially with no architect involved at all, instead filling in all of the technical details. \<important_note\>When this workflow is selected, you are also responsible for collaboratively defining and documenting key technical foundations—such as technology stack choices and proposed application structure—directly within a new, dedicated section of the PRD template titled '[OPTIONAL: For Simplified PM-to-Development Workflow Only] Core Technical Decisions & Application Structure'.\</important_note\>)
-
-- Explain this choice sets a default detail level, which can be fine-tuned later per story/epic.
-
-### 2. Determine Interaction Mode (for PRD Structure & Detail)
-
-- Confirm with the user their preferred interaction style for creating the PRD if unknown - INCREMENTAL or YOLO?:
-  - **Incrementally (Default):** Address PRD sections sequentially, seeking feedback on each. For Epics/Stories: first present the ordered Epic list for approval, then detail stories for each Epic one by one.
-  - **"YOLO" Mode:** Draft a more comprehensive PRD (or significant portions with multiple sections, epics, and stories) for a single, larger review.
-
-### 3. Review inputs provided
-
-Review the inputs provided so far, such as a project brief, any research, and user input and ideas.
-
-### 4. Process PRD Sections
-
-Inform the user we will work through the PRD sections in order 1 at a time (if not YOLO) - the template contains your instructions for each section. After presenting the section to the user, also [Offer Advanced Self-Refinement & Elicitation Options](#offer-advanced-self-refinement--elicitation-options)
-
-<important_note>When working on the "Technical Assumptions" section of the PRD, explicitly guide the user through discussing and deciding on the repository structure (Monorepo vs. Polyrepo) and the high-level service architecture (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless functions within a Monorepo). Emphasize that this is a critical decision point that will be formally documented here with its rationale, impacting MVP scope and informing the Architect. Ensure this decision is captured in the PRD's `Technical Assumptions` and then reiterated in the `Initial Architect Prompt` section of the PRD.</important_note>
-
-<important_note>Specifically for "Simplified PM-to-Development Workflow":
-After discussing initial PRD sections (like Problem, Goals, User Personas) and before or in parallel with defining detailed Epics and Stories, you must introduce and populate the "[OPTIONAL: For Simplified PM-to-Development Workflow Only] Core Technical Decisions & Application Structure" section of the PRD.
-
-    When doing so, first check if a `docs/technical-preferences.md` file exists or has been provided. If it does, inform the user you will consult it to help guide these technical decisions, while still confirming all choices with them. Ask targeted questions such as:
-
-1.  "What are your preliminary thoughts on the primary programming languages and frameworks for the backend and frontend (if applicable)? (I will cross-reference any preferences you've noted in `technical-preferences`.)"
-2.  "Which database system are you considering? (Checking preferences...)"
-3.  "Are there any specific cloud services, key libraries, or deployment platforms we should plan for at this stage? (Checking preferences...)"
-4.  "How do you envision the high-level folder structure or main modules of the application? Could you describe the key components and their responsibilities? (I'll consider any structural preferences noted.)"
-5.  "Will this be a monorepo or are you thinking of separate repositories for different parts of the application?"
-    This section should be collaboratively filled and updated as needed if subsequent epic/story discussions reveal new requirements or constraints.
-
-</important_note\>
-
-<important_note>
-
-For the Epic and Story Section (if in Incremental mode for these), prepare in memory what you think the initial epic and story list so we can work through this incrementally, use all of the information you have learned that has been provided thus far to follow the guidelines in the section below [Guiding Principles for Epic and User Story Generation](https://www.google.com/search?q=%23guiding-principles-for-epic-and-user-story-generation).
-
-</important_note>
-
-#### 4A. Epic Presentation and Drafting Strategy
-
-You will first present the user with the epic titles and descriptions, so that the user can determine if it is correct and what is expected, or if there is a major epic missing.
-
-#### 4B. Story Generation and Review within Epics (Incremental Mode)
-
-**Once the Epic List is approved, THEN for each Epic, you will proceed as follows:**
-
-i. **Draft All Stories for the Current Epic:** Based on the Epic's goal and your discussions, draft all the necessary User Stories for this Epic, following the "Guiding Principles for Epic and User Story Generation".
-ii. **Perform Internal Story Analysis & Propose Order:** Before presenting the stories for detailed review, you will internally:
-a. **Re-evaluate for Cross-Cutting Concerns:** Ensure no drafted stories should actually be ACs or notes within other stories, as per the guiding principle. Make necessary adjustments.
-b. **Analyze for Logical Sequence & Dependencies:** For all stories within this Epic, determine their logical implementation order. Identify any direct prerequisite stories (e.g., "Story X must be completed before Story Y because Y consumes the output of X").
-c. **Formulate a Rationale for the Order:** Prepare a brief explanation for why the proposed order is logical.
-iii. **Present Proposed Story Set & Order for the Epic:** Present to the user:
-a. The complete list of (potentially revised) User Stories for the Epic.
-b. The proposed sequence for these stories.
-c. Your brief rationale for the sequencing and any key dependencies you've noted (e.g., "I suggest this order because Story 2 builds upon the data prepared in Story 1, and Story 3 then uses the results from Story 2.").
-iv. **Collaborative Review of Sequence & Story Shells:** Discuss this proposed structure and sequence with the user. Make any adjustments to the story list or their order based on user feedback.
-v. Once the overall structure and sequence of stories for the Epic are agreed upon, THEN you will work with the user to review the details (description, Acceptance Criteria) of each story in the agreed-upon sequence for that Epic.
-vi. [Offer Advanced Self-Refinement & Elicitation Options](#offer-advanced-self-refinement--elicitation-options)
-
-#### 4C. Present Complete Draft
-
-Present the user with the complete full draft once all sections are completed (or as per YOLO mode interaction).
-
-#### 4D. UI Component Handoff Note
-
-If there is a UI component to this PRD, you can inform the user that the Design Architect should take this final output.
-
-### 5\. Checklist Assessment
-
-- Use the `pm-checklist` to consider each item in the checklist is met (or n/a) against the PRD.
-- Document completion status for each item.
-- Present the user with summary of each section of the checklist before going to the next section.
-- Address deficiencies with user for input or suggested updates or corrections.
-- Once complete and address, output the final checklist with all the checked items or skipped items, the section summary table, and any final notes. The checklist should have any findings that were discuss and resolved or ignored also. This will be a nice artifact for the user to keep.
-
-### 6\. Produce the PRD
-
-Produce the PRD with PM Prompt per the `prd-tmpl` utilizing the following guidance:
-
-**General Presentation & Content:**
-
-- Present Project Briefs (drafts or final) in a clean, full format.
-- Crucially, DO NOT truncate information that has not changed from a previous version.
-- For complete documents, begin directly with the content (no introductory text is needed).
-
-<important_note>
-**Next Steps for UI/UX Specification (If Applicable):**
-
-- If the product described in this PRD includes a user interface:
-
-  1.  **Include Design Architect Prompt in PRD:** You will add a dedicated section in the PRD document you are producing, specifically at the location marked `(END Checklist START Design Architect UI/UX Specification Mode Prompt)` (as per the `prd-tmpl` structure). This section will contain a prompt for the **Design Architect** agent.
-
-      - The prompt should clearly state that the Design Architect is to operate in its **'UI/UX Specification Mode'**.
-
-      - It should instruct the Design Architect to use this PRD as primary input to collaboratively define and document detailed UI/UX specifications. This might involve creating/populating a `front-end-spec-tmpl` and ensuring key UI/UX considerations are integrated or referenced back into the PRD to enrich it.
-
-      - Example prompt text to insert:
-
-        ```markdown
-        ## Prompt for Design Architect (UI/UX Specification Mode)
-
-        **Objective:** Elaborate on the UI/UX aspects of the product defined in this PRD.
-        **Mode:** UI/UX Specification Mode
-        **Input:** This completed PRD document.
-        **Key Tasks:**
-
-        1. Review the product goals, user stories, and any UI-related notes herein.
-        2. Collaboratively define detailed user flows, wire-frames (conceptual), and key screen mockups/descriptions.
-        3. Specify usability requirements and accessibility considerations.
-        4. Populate or create the `front-end-spec-tmpl` document.
-        5. Ensure that this PRD is updated or clearly references the detailed UI/UX specifications derived from your work, so that it provides a comprehensive foundation for subsequent architecture and development phases.
-
-        Please guide the user through this process to enrich the PRD with detailed UI/UX specifications.
-        ```
-
-  2.  **Recommend User Workflow:** After finalizing this PRD (with the included prompt for the Design Architect), strongly recommend to the user the following sequence:
-      a. First, engage the **Design Architect** agent (using the prompt you've embedded in the PRD) to operate in **'UI/UX Specification Mode'**. Explain that this step is crucial for detailing the user interface and experience, and the output (e.g., a populated `front-end-spec-tmpl` and potentially updated PRD sections) will be vital.
-      b. Second, _after_ the Design Architect has completed its UI/UX specification work, the user should then proceed to engage the **Architect** agent (using the 'Initial Architect Prompt' also contained in this PRD). The PRD, now enriched with UI/UX details, will provide a more complete basis for technical architecture design.
-
-- If the product does not include a user interface, you will simply recommend proceeding to the Architect agent using the 'Initial Architect Prompt' in the PRD.
-  </important_note>
-
-## Guiding Principles for Epic and User Story Generation
-
-### I. Strategic Foundation: Define Core Value & MVP Scope Rigorously
-
-Understand & Clarify Core Needs: Start by deeply understanding and clarifying the core problem this product solves, the essential needs of the defined User Personas (or system actors), and the key business objectives for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
-Challenge Scope Relentlessly: Actively challenge all requested features and scope at every stage. For each potential feature or story, rigorously ask, "Does this directly support the core MVP goals and provide significant value to a target User Persona?" Clearly identify and defer non-essential functionalities to a Post-MVP backlog.
-
-### II. Structuring the Work: Value-Driven Epics & Logical Sequencing
-
-Organize into Deployable, Value-Driven Epics: Structure the MVP scope into Epics. Each Epic must be designed to deliver a significant, end-to-end, and fully deployable increment of testable functionality that provides tangible value to the user or business. Epics should represent logical functional blocks or coherent user journeys.
-
-Logical Epic Sequencing & Foundational Work:
-Ensure the sequence of Epics follows a logical implementation order, making dependencies between Epics clear and explicitly managed.
-The first Epic must always establish the foundational project infrastructure (e.g., initial app setup, Git repository, CI/CD pipeline, core cloud service configurations, basic user authentication shell if needed universally) necessary to support its own deployable functionality and that of subsequent Epics.
-Ensure Logical Story Sequencing and Dependency Awareness within Epics:
-After initially drafting all User Stories for an Epic, but before detailed review with the user, you (the AI Agent executing this task) must explicitly perform an internal review to establish a logical sequence for these stories.
-For each story, identify if it has direct prerequisite stories within the same Epic or from already completed Epics.
-Propose a clear story order to the user, explaining the rationale based on these dependencies (e.g., "Story X needs to be done before Story Y because..."). Make significant dependencies visible, perhaps as a note within the story description.
-
-### III. Crafting Effective User Stories: Vertical Slices Focused on Value & Clarity
-
-Define Stories as "Vertical Slices": Within each Epic, define User Stories as "vertical slices". This means each story must deliver a complete piece of functionality that achieves a specific user or system goal, potentially cutting through all necessary layers (e.g., UI, API, business logic, database).
-Focus on "What" and "Why," Not "How":
-Stories will primarily focus on the functional outcome, the user value ("what"), and the reason ("why"). Avoid detailing technical implementation ("how") in the story's main description.
-The "As a {specific User Persona/system actor}, I want {to perform an action / achieve a goal} so that {I can realize a benefit / achieve a reason}" format is standard. Be precise and consistent when defining the '{specific User Persona/system actor}', ensuring it aligns with defined personas.
-Ensure User Value, Not Just Technical Tasks: User Stories must articulate clear user or business value. Avoid creating stories that are purely technical tasks (e.g., "Set up database," "Refactor module X"), unless they are part of the foundational infrastructure Epic or are essential enabling tasks that are explicitly linked to, and justified by, a user-facing story that delivers value.
-Appropriate Sizing & Strive for Independence:
-Ensure User Stories are appropriately sized for a typical development iteration (i.e., can be completed by the team in one sprint/iteration).
-If a vertically sliced story is too large or complex, work with the user to split it into smaller, still valuable, and still vertically sliced increments.
-Where feasible, define stories so they can be developed, tested, and potentially delivered independently of others. If dependencies are unavoidable, they must be clearly identified and managed through sequencing.
-
-### IV. Detailing Stories: Comprehensive Acceptance Criteria & Developer Enablement
-
-Clear, Comprehensive, and Testable Acceptance Criteria (ACs):
-Every User Story will have detailed, unambiguous, and testable Acceptance Criteria.
-ACs precisely define what "done" means for that story from a functional perspective and serve as the basis for verification.
-Where a specific Non-Functional Requirement (NFR) from the PRD (e.g., a particular performance target for a specific action, a security constraint for handling certain data) is critical to a story, ensure it is explicitly captured or clearly referenced within its Acceptance Criteria.
-Integrate Developer Enablement & Iterative Design into Stories:
-Local Testability (CLI): For User Stories involving backend processing or data components, ensure the ACs consider or specify the ability for developers to test that functionality locally (e.g., via CLI commands, local service instances).
-Iterative Schema Definition: Database schema changes (new tables, columns) should be introduced iteratively within the User Stories that functionally require them, rather than defining the entire schema upfront.
-Upfront UI/UX Standards (if UI applicable): For User Stories with a UI component, ACs should explicitly state requirements regarding look and feel, responsiveness, and adherence to chosen frameworks/libraries (e.g., Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui) from the start.
-
-### V. Managing Complexity: Addressing Cross-Cutting Concerns Effectively
-
-Critically Evaluate for Cross-Cutting Concerns:
-Before finalizing a User Story, evaluate if the described functionality is truly a discrete, user-facing piece of value or if it represents a cross-cutting concern (e.g., a specific logging requirement, a UI theme element used by many views, a core technical enabler for multiple other stories, a specific aspect of error handling).
-If a piece of functionality is identified as a cross-cutting concern:
-a. Avoid creating a separate User Story for it unless it delivers standalone, testable user value.
-b. Instead, integrate the requirement as specific Acceptance Criteria within all relevant User Stories it impacts.
-c. Alternatively, if it's a pervasive technical enabler or a non-functional requirement that applies broadly, document it clearly within the relevant PRD section (e.g., 'Non Functional Requirements', 'Technical Assumptions'), or as a note for the Architect within the story descriptions if highly specific.
-
-Your aim is to ensure User Stories remain focused on delivering measurable user value, while still capturing all necessary technical and functional details appropriately.
-
-### VI. Ensuring Quality & Smooth Handoff
-
-Maintain Clarity for Handoff and Architectural Freedom: User Stories, their descriptions, and Acceptance Criteria must be detailed enough to provide the Architect with a clear and comprehensive understanding of "what is required," while allowing for architectural flexibility on the "how."
-Confirm "Ready" State: Before considering an Epic's stories complete, ensure each story is effectively "ready" for subsequent architectural review or development planning – meaning it's clear, understandable, testable, its dependencies are noted, and any foundational work (like from the first epic) is accounted for.
-
-## Offer Advanced Self-Refinement & Elicitation Options
-
-(This section is called when needed prior to this)
-
-Present the user with the following list of 'Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. Explain that these are optional steps to help ensure quality, explore alternatives, and deepen the understanding of the current section before finalizing it and moving on. The user can select an action by number, or choose to skip this and proceed to finalize the section.

-# Library Indexing Task
-
-## Purpose
-
-This task maintains the integrity and completeness of the `docs/index.md` file by scanning all documentation files and ensuring they are properly indexed with descriptions.
-
-## Task Instructions
-
-You are now operating as a Documentation Indexer. Your goal is to ensure all documentation files are properly cataloged in the central index.
-
-### Required Steps
-
-1. First, locate and scan:
-
-   - The `docs/` directory and all subdirectories
-   - The existing `docs/index.md` file (create if absent)
-   - All markdown (`.md`) and text (`.txt`) files in the documentation structure
-
-2. For the existing `docs/index.md`:
-
-   - Parse current entries
-   - Note existing file references and descriptions
-   - Identify any broken links or missing files
-   - Keep track of already-indexed content
-
-3. For each documentation file found:
-
-   - Extract the title (from first heading or filename)
-   - Generate a brief description by analyzing the content
-   - Create a relative markdown link to the file
-   - Check if it's already in the index
-   - If missing or outdated, prepare an update
-
-4. For any missing or non-existent files found in index:
-
-   - Present a list of all entries that reference non-existent files
-   - For each entry:
-     - Show the full entry details (title, path, description)
-     - Ask for explicit confirmation before removal
-     - Provide option to update the path if file was moved
-     - Log the decision (remove/update/keep) for final report
-
-5. Update `docs/index.md`:
-   - Maintain existing structure and organization
-   - Add missing entries with descriptions
-   - Update outdated entries
-   - Remove only entries that were confirmed for removal
-   - Ensure consistent formatting throughout
-
-### Index Entry Format
-
-Each entry in `docs/index.md` should follow this format:
-
-```markdown
-### [Document Title](relative/path/to/file.md)
-
-Brief description of the document's purpose and contents.
-```
-
-### Rules of Operation
-
-1. NEVER modify the content of indexed files
-2. Preserve existing descriptions in index.md when they are adequate
-3. Maintain any existing categorization or grouping in the index
-4. Use relative paths for all links
-5. Ensure descriptions are concise but informative
-6. NEVER remove entries without explicit confirmation
-7. Report any broken links or inconsistencies found
-8. Allow path updates for moved files before considering removal
-
-### Process Output
-
-The task will provide:

-# {Project Name} Architecture Document
-
-## Introduction / Preamble
-
-{This document outlines the overall project architecture, including backend systems, shared services, and non-UI specific concerns. Its primary goal is to serve as the guiding architectural blueprint for AI-driven development, ensuring consistency and adherence to chosen patterns and technologies.
-
-**Relationship to Frontend Architecture:**
-If the project includes a significant user interface, a separate Frontend Architecture Document (typically named `front-end-architecture-tmpl.txt` or similar, and linked in the "Key Reference Documents" section) details the frontend-specific design and MUST be used in conjunction with this document. Core technology stack choices documented herein (see "Definitive Tech Stack Selections") are definitive for the entire project, including any frontend components.}
-
-## Table of Contents
-
-{ Update this if sections and subsections are added or removed }
-
-## Technical Summary
-
-{ Provide a brief paragraph overview of the system's architecture, key components, technology choices, and architectural patterns used. Reference the goals from the PRD. }
-
-## High-Level Overview
-
-{ Describe the main architectural style (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless, Event-Driven), reflecting the decision made in the PRD. Explain the repository structure (Monorepo/Polyrepo). Explain the primary user interaction or data flow at a conceptual level. }
-
-{ Insert high-level mermaid system context or interaction diagram here - e.g., Mermaid Class C4 Models Layer 1 and 2 }
-
-## Architectural / Design Patterns Adopted
-
-{ List the key high-level patterns chosen for the architecture. These foundational patterns should be established early as they guide component design, interactions, and technology choices. }
-
-- **Pattern 1:** {e.g., Serverless, Event-Driven, Microservices, CQRS} - _Rationale/Reference:_ {Briefly why, or link to a more detailed explanation if needed}
-- **Pattern 2:** {e.g., Dependency Injection, Repository Pattern, Module Pattern} - _Rationale/Reference:_ {...}
-- **Pattern N:** {...}
-
-## Component View
-
-{ Describe the major logical components or services of the system and their responsibilities, reflecting the decided overall architecture (e.g., distinct microservices, modules within a monolith, packages within a monorepo) and the architectural patterns adopted. Explain how they collaborate. }
-
-- Component A: {Description of responsibility}
-
-{Insert component diagram here if it helps - e.g., using Mermaid graph TD or C4 Model Container/Component Diagram}
-
-- Component N...: {Description of responsibility}
-
-{ Insert component diagram here if it helps - e.g., using Mermaid graph TD or C4 Model Container/Component Diagram }
-
-## Project Structure
-
-{Provide an ASCII or Mermaid diagram representing the project's folder structure. The following is a general example. If a `front-end-architecture-tmpl.txt` (or equivalent) is in use, it will contain the detailed structure for the frontend portion (e.g., within `src/frontend/` or a dedicated `frontend/` root directory). Shared code structure (e.g., in a `packages/` directory for a monorepo) should also be detailed here.}

-{Define schemas here only if they are distinct from core entities AND not fully detailed under the API endpoint definitions in the API Reference section. Prefer detailing request/response schemas directly with their APIs where possible. This section is for complex, reusable payload structures that might be used across multiple internal APIs or differ significantly from core persisted entities.}
-
-#### {API Endpoint / Purpose, e.g., Create Order Request, repeat the section as needed}
-
-- **Schema / Interface Definition:**
-  ```typescript
-  // Example
-  export interface CreateOrderRequest {
-    customerId: string;
-    items: { productId: string; quantity: number }[];
-    // ...
-  }
-  ```
-
-### Database Schemas (If applicable)
-
-{If using a database, define table structures or document database schemas. repeat as needed}
-
-#### {Table / Collection Name}
-
-- **Purpose:** {What data does this table store?}
-- **Schema Definition:**
-  ```sql
-  -- Example SQL
-  CREATE TABLE {TableName} (
-    id VARCHAR(36) PRIMARY KEY,
-    column_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
-    numeric_column DECIMAL(10, 2),
-    -- ... other columns, indexes, constraints
-  );
-  ```
-  _(Alternatively, use ORM model definitions, NoSQL document structure, etc.)_
-
-## Core Workflow / Sequence Diagrams
-
-{ Illustrate key or complex workflows using mermaid sequence diagrams. Can have high level tying the full project together, and also smaller epic level sequence diagrams. }
-
-## Definitive Tech Stack Selections
-
-{ This section outlines the definitive technology choices for the project. These selections should be made after a thorough understanding of the project's requirements, components, data models, and core workflows. The Architect Agent should guide the user through these decisions, ensuring each choice is justified and recorded accurately in the table below.
-
-This table is the **single source of truth** for all technology selections. Other architecture documents (e.g., Frontend Architecture) must refer to these choices and elaborate on their specific application rather than re-defining them.
-
-Key decisions to discuss and finalize here, which will then be expanded upon and formally documented in the detailed stack table below, include considerations such as:
-
-- Preferred Starter Template Frontend: { Url to template or starter, if used }
-- Preferred Starter Template Backend: { Url to template or starter, if used }
-- Primary Language(s) & Version(s): {e.g., TypeScript 5.x, Python 3.11 - Specify exact versions, e.g., `5.2.3`}
-- Primary Runtime(s) & Version(s): {e.g., Node.js 22.x - Specify exact versions, e.g., `22.0.1`}
-
-Must be definitive selections; do not list open-ended choices (e.g., for web scraping, pick one tool, not two). Specify exact versions (e.g., `18.2.0`). If 'Latest' is used, it implies the latest stable version _at the time of this document's last update_, and the specific version (e.g., `xyz-library@2.3.4`) should be recorded. Pinning versions is strongly preferred to avoid unexpected breaking changes for the AI agent. }

-## Infrastructure and Deployment Overview
-
-- Cloud Provider(s): {e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP, On-premise}
-- Core Services Used: {List key managed services - e.g., Lambda, S3, Kubernetes Engine, RDS, Kafka}
-- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): {Tool used - e.g., AWS CDK, Terraform...} - Location: {Link to IaC code repo/directory}
-- Deployment Strategy: {e.g., CI/CD pipeline with automated promotions, Blue/Green, Canary} - Tools: {e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI}
-- Environments: {List environments - e.g., Development, Staging, Production}
-- Environment Promotion: {Describe steps, e.g., `dev` -\> `staging` (manual approval / automated tests pass) -\> `production` (automated after tests pass and optional manual approval)}
-- Rollback Strategy: {e.g., Automated rollback on health check failure post-deployment, Manual trigger via CI/CD job, IaC state rollback. Specify primary mechanism.}
-
-## Error Handling Strategy
-
-- **General Approach:** {e.g., Use exceptions as primary mechanism, return error codes/tuples for specific modules, clearly defined custom error types hierarchy.}
-- **Logging:**
-  - Library/Method: {e.g., `console.log/error` (Node.js), Python `logging` module with `structlog`, dedicated logging library like `Pino` or `Serilog`. Specify the chosen library.}
-  - Format: {e.g., JSON, plain text with timestamp and severity. JSON is preferred for structured logging.}
-  - Levels: {e.g., DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, CRITICAL. Specify standard usage for each.}
-  - Context: {What contextual information must be included? e.g., Correlation ID, User ID (if applicable and safe), Service Name, Operation Name, Key Parameters (sanitized).}
-- **Specific Handling Patterns:**
-  - External API Calls: {Define retry mechanisms (e.g., exponential backoff, max retries - specify library if one is mandated like `Polly` or `tenacity`), circuit breaker pattern usage (e.g., using `resilience4j` or equivalent - specify if and how), timeout configurations (connect and read timeouts). How are API errors (4xx, 5xx) translated or propagated?}
-  - Internal Errors / Business Logic Exceptions: {How to convert internal errors to user-facing errors if applicable (e.g., generic error messages with a unique ID for support, specific error codes). Are there defined business exception classes?}
-  - Transaction Management: {Approach to ensure data consistency in case of errors during multi-step operations, e.g., database transactions (specify isolation levels if non-default), Saga pattern for distributed transactions (specify orchestrator/choreography and compensation logic).}
-
-## Coding Standards
-
-{These standards are mandatory for all code generation by AI agents and human developers. Deviations are not permitted unless explicitly approved and documented as an exception in this section or a linked addendum.}
-
-- **Primary Runtime(s):** {e.g., Node.js 22.x, Python Runtime for Lambda - refer to Definitive Tech Stack}
-- **Style Guide & Linter:** {e.g., ESLint with Airbnb config + Prettier; Black, Flake8, MyPy; Go fmt, golint. Specify chosen tools and link to configuration files (e.g., `.eslintrc.js`, `pyproject.toml`). Linter rules are mandatory and must not be disabled without cause.}
-- **Naming Conventions:**
-  - Variables: `{e.g., camelCase (JavaScript/TypeScript/Java), snake_case (Python/Ruby)}`
-  - Functions/Methods: `{e.g., camelCase (JavaScript/TypeScript/Java), snake_case (Python/Ruby)}`
-  - Classes/Types/Interfaces: `{e.g., PascalCase}`
-  - Constants: `{e.g., UPPER_SNAKE_CASE}`
-  - Files: `{e.g., kebab-case.ts (TypeScript), snake_case.py (Python), PascalCase.java (Java). Be specific per language.}`
-  - Modules/Packages: `{e.g., camelCase or snake_case. Be specific per language.}`
-- **File Structure:** Adhere to the layout defined in the "Project Structure" section and the Frontend Architecture Document if applicable.
-- **Unit Test File Organization:** {e.g., `*.test.ts`/`*.spec.ts` co-located with source files; `test_*.py` in a parallel `tests/` directory. Specify chosen convention.}
-- **Asynchronous Operations:** {e.g., Always use `async`/`await` in TypeScript/JavaScript/Python for promise-based operations; Goroutines/Channels in Go with clear patterns for error propagation and completion; Java `CompletableFuture` or Project Reactor/RxJava if used.}
-- **Type Safety:** {e.g., Leverage TypeScript strict mode (all flags enabled); Python type hints (enforced by MyPy); Go static typing; Java generics and avoidance of raw types. All new code must be strictly typed.}
-  - _Type Definitions:_ {Location, e.g., `src/common/types.ts`, shared packages, or co-located. Policy on using `any` or equivalent (strongly discouraged, requires justification).}
-- **Comments & Documentation:**
-  - Code Comments: {Expectations for code comments: Explain _why_, not _what_, for complex logic. Avoid redundant comments. Use standard formats like JSDoc, TSDoc, Python docstrings (Google/NumPy style), GoDoc, JavaDoc.}
-  - READMEs: {Each module/package/service should have a README explaining its purpose, setup, and usage if not trivial.}
-- **Dependency Management:** {Tool used - e.g., npm/yarn, pip/poetry, Go modules, Maven/Gradle. Policy on adding new dependencies (e.g., approval process, check for existing alternatives, security vulnerability scans). Specify versioning strategy (e.g., prefer pinned versions, use tilde `~` for patches, caret `^` for minor updates - be specific).}
-
-### Detailed Language & Framework Conventions
-
-{For each primary language and framework selected in the "Definitive Tech Stack Selections", the following specific conventions **must** be adhered to. If a chosen technology is not listed below, it implies adherence to its standard, widely accepted best practices and the general guidelines in this document.}
-
-#### `{Language/Framework 1 Name, e.g., TypeScript/Node.js}` Specifics:
-
-- **Immutability:** `{e.g., "Always prefer immutable data structures. Use `Readonly\<T\>`, `ReadonlyArray\<T\>`, `as const` for object/array literals. Avoid direct mutation of objects/arrays passed as props or state. Consider libraries like Immer for complex state updates."}`
-- **Functional vs. OOP:** `{e.g., "Favor functional programming constructs (map, filter, reduce, pure functions) for data transformation and business logic where practical. Use classes for entities, services with clear state/responsibilities, or when framework conventions (e.g., NestJS) demand."}`
-- **Error Handling Specifics:** `{e.g., "Always use `Error`objects or extensions thereof for`throw`. Ensure `Promise`rejections are always`Error`objects. Use custom error classes inheriting from a base`AppError` for domain-specific errors."}`
-- **Null/Undefined Handling:** `{e.g., "Strict null checks (`strictNullChecks`) must be enabled. Avoid `\!` non-null assertion operator; prefer explicit checks, optional chaining (`?.`), or nullish coalescing (`??`). Define clear strategies for optional function parameters and return types."}`
-- **Module System:** `{e.g., "Use ESModules (`import`/`export`) exclusively. Avoid CommonJS (`require`/`module.exports`) in new code."}`
-- **Logging Specifics:** `{e.g., "Use the chosen structured logging library. Log messages must include a correlation ID. Do not log sensitive PII. Use appropriate log levels."}`
-- **Framework Idioms (e.g., for NestJS/Express):** `{e.g., "NestJS: Always use decorators for defining modules, controllers, services, DTOs. Adhere strictly to the defined module structure and dependency injection patterns. Express: Define middleware patterns, routing structure."}`
-- **Key Library Usage Conventions:** `{e.g., "When using Axios, create a single configured instance. For date/time, use {date-fns/Luxon/Day.js} and avoid native `Date` object for manipulations."}`
-- **Code Generation Anti-Patterns to Avoid:** `{e.g., "Avoid overly nested conditional logic (max 2-3 levels). Avoid single-letter variable names (except for trivial loop counters like `i`, `j`, `k`). Do not write code that bypasses framework security features (e.g., ORM query builders)."}`
-
-#### `{Language/Framework 2 Name, e.g., Python}` Specifics:
-
-- **Immutability:** `{e.g., "Use tuples for immutable sequences. For classes, consider `@dataclass(frozen=True)`. Be mindful of mutable default arguments."}`
-- **Functional vs. OOP:** `{e.g., "Employ classes for representing entities and services. Use functions for stateless operations. List comprehensions/generator expressions are preferred over `map/filter` for readability."}`
-- **Error Handling Specifics:** `{e.g., "Always raise specific, custom exceptions inheriting from a base `AppException`. Use `try-except-else-finally`blocks appropriately. Avoid broad`except Exception:` clauses without re-raising or specific handling."}`
-- **Resource Management:** `{e.g., "Always use `with` statements for resources like files or DB connections to ensure they are properly closed."}`
-- **Type Hinting:** `{e.g., "All new functions and methods must have full type hints. Run MyPy in CI. Strive for `disallow_untyped_defs = True`."}`
-- **Logging Specifics:** `{e.g., "Use the `logging`module configured for structured output (e.g., with`python-json-logger`). Include correlation IDs."}`
-- **Framework Idioms (e.g., for Django/Flask/FastAPI):** `{e.g., "Django: Follow fat models, thin views pattern. Use ORM conventions. FastAPI: Utilize Pydantic for request/response models and dependency injection for services."}`
-- **Key Library Usage Conventions:** `{e.g., "For HTTP requests, use `httpx`or`requests`with explicit timeout settings. For data manipulation, prefer`pandas` where appropriate but be mindful of performance."}`
-
-#### `{Add more Language/Framework sections as needed...}`
-
-- **{Consider other things that the trained LLM Dev Agent could potentially be random about specific to the chosen language technologies and platforms that it should be reminded of here}**
-
-## Overall Testing Strategy
-
-{This section outlines the project's comprehensive testing strategy, which all AI-generated and human-written code must adhere to. It complements the testing tools listed in the "Definitive Tech Stack Selections".}
-
-- **Tools:** {Reiterate primary testing frameworks and libraries from Tech Stack, e.g., Jest, Playwright, PyTest, JUnit, Testcontainers.}
-- **Unit Tests:**
-  - **Scope:** {Test individual functions, methods, classes, or small modules in isolation. Focus on business logic, algorithms, and transformation rules.}
-  - **Location:** {e.g., `*.test.ts`/`*.spec.ts` co-located with source files; `test_*.py` in a parallel `tests/` directory, following language conventions.}
-  - **Mocking/Stubbing:** {Specify chosen mocking library (e.g., Jest mocks, `unittest.mock` in Python, Mockito for Java). Mock all external dependencies (network calls, file system, databases, time).}
-  - **AI Agent Responsibility:** {AI Agent must generate unit tests covering all public methods, significant logic paths, edge cases, and error conditions for any new or modified code.}
-- **Integration Tests:**
-  - **Scope:** {Test the interaction between several components or services within the application boundary. E.g., API endpoint to service layer to database (using a test database or in-memory version).}
-  - **Location:** {e.g., `/tests/integration` or `/src/integration-test` (Java).}
-  - **Environment:** {Specify how dependencies are handled (e.g., Testcontainers for databases/external services, in-memory databases, dedicated test environment).}
-  - **AI Agent Responsibility:** {AI Agent may be tasked with generating integration tests for key service interactions or API endpoints based on specifications.}
-- **End-to-End (E2E) Tests:**
-  - **Scope:** {Validate complete user flows or critical paths through the system from the user's perspective (e.g., UI interaction, API call sequence).}
-  - **Tools:** {Reiterate E2E testing tools from Tech Stack (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium).}
-  - **AI Agent Responsibility:** {AI Agent may be tasked with generating E2E test stubs or scripts based on user stories or BDD scenarios. Focus on critical happy paths and key error scenarios.}
-- **Test Coverage:**
-  - **Target:** {Specify target code coverage if any (e.g., 80% line/branch coverage for unit tests). This is a guideline; quality of tests is paramount over raw coverage numbers.}
-  - **Measurement:** {Tool used for coverage reports (e.g., Istanbul/nyc, Coverage.py, JaCoCo).}
-- **Mocking/Stubbing Strategy (General):** {Beyond specific test types, outline general principles. e.g., "Prefer fakes or test doubles over extensive mocking where it improves test clarity and maintainability. Strive for tests that are fast, reliable, and isolated."}
-- **Test Data Management:** {How is test data created, managed, and isolated? E.g., factories, fixtures, setup/teardown scripts, dedicated test data generation tools.}
-
-## Security Best Practices
-
-{Outline key security considerations relevant to the codebase. These are mandatory and must be actively addressed by the AI agent during development.}
-
-- **Input Sanitization/Validation:** {Specify library/method for ALL external inputs (API requests, user-provided data, file uploads). E.g., 'Use class-validator with NestJS DTOs for all API inputs; all validation rules must be defined in DTOs.' For other languages, 'Use {validation_library} for all external inputs; define schemas and constraints.' Validation must occur at the boundary before processing.}
-- **Output Encoding:** {Specify where and how output encoding should be performed to prevent XSS and other injection attacks. E.g., 'All dynamic data rendered in HTML templates must be contextually auto-escaped by the template engine (specify engine and confirm default behavior). If generating HTML/XML/JSON manually, use approved encoding libraries like {encoder_library_name}.'}
-- **Secrets Management:** {Reference `docs/environment-vars.md` regarding storage for different environments. In code, access secrets _only_ through a designated configuration module/service. Never hardcode secrets, include them in source control, or log them. Use specific tools for local development if applicable (e.g., Doppler, .env files NOT committed).}
-- **Dependency Security:** {Policy on checking for vulnerable dependencies. E.g., 'Run automated vulnerability scans (e.g., `npm audit`, `pip-audit`, Snyk, Dependabot alerts) as part of CI. Update vulnerable dependencies promptly based on severity.' Policy on adding new dependencies (vetting process).}
-- **Authentication/Authorization Checks:** {Where and how should these be enforced? E.g., 'All API endpoints (except explicitly public ones) must enforce authentication using the central auth module/middleware. Authorization (permission/role checks) must be performed at the service layer or entry point for protected resources.' Define patterns for implementing these checks.}
-- **Principle of Least Privilege (Implementation):** {e.g., 'Database connection users must have only the necessary permissions (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) for the specific tables/schemas they access. IAM roles for cloud services must be narrowly scoped to the required actions and resources.'}
-- **API Security (General):** {e.g., 'Enforce HTTPS. Implement rate limiting and throttling (specify tool/method). Use standard HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc. - specify which ones and their configuration). Follow REST/GraphQL security best practices.'}
-- **Error Handling & Information Disclosure:** {Ensure error messages do not leak sensitive information (stack traces, internal paths, detailed SQL errors) to the end-user. Log detailed errors server-side, provide generic messages or error IDs to the client.}
-- **Regular Security Audits/Testing:** {Mention if planned, e.g., penetration testing, static/dynamic analysis tool usage in CI (SAST/DAST).}
-- **{Other relevant practices, e.g., File upload security, Session management security, Data encryption at rest and in transit beyond HTTPS if specific requirements exist.}**

-## Introduction
-
-{ This document details the technical architecture specifically for the frontend of {Project Name}. It complements the main {Project Name} Architecture Document and the UI/UX Specification. This document details the frontend architecture and **builds upon the foundational decisions** (e.g., overall tech stack, CI/CD, primary testing tools) defined in the main {Project Name} Architecture Document (`docs/architecture.md` or linked equivalent). **Frontend-specific elaborations or deviations from general patterns must be explicitly noted here.** The goal is to provide a clear blueprint for frontend development, ensuring consistency, maintainability, and alignment with the overall system design and user experience goals. }
-
-- **Link to Main Architecture Document (REQUIRED):** {e.g., `docs/architecture.md`}
-- **Link to UI/UX Specification (REQUIRED if exists):** {e.g., `docs/front-end-spec.md`}
-- **Link to Primary Design Files (Figma, Sketch, etc.) (REQUIRED if exists):** {From UI/UX Spec}
-- **Link to Deployed Storybook / Component Showcase (if applicable):** {URL}
-
-## Overall Frontend Philosophy & Patterns
-
-{ Describe the core architectural decisions and patterns chosen for the frontend. This should align with the "Definitive Tech Stack Selections" in the main architecture document and consider implications from the overall system architecture (e.g., monorepo vs. polyrepo, backend service structure). }
-
-- **Framework & Core Libraries:** {e.g., React 18.x with Next.js 13.x, Angular 16.x, Vue 3.x with Nuxt.js}. **These are derived from the 'Definitive Tech Stack Selections' in the main Architecture Document.** This section elaborates on *how* these choices are applied specifically to the frontend.
-- **Component Architecture:** {e.g., Atomic Design principles, Presentational vs. Container components, use of specific component libraries like Material UI, Tailwind CSS for styling approach. Specify chosen approach and any key libraries.}
-- **State Management Strategy:** {e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Vuex, NgRx. Briefly describe the overall approach – global store, feature stores, context API usage. **Referenced from main Architecture Document and detailed further in "State Management In-Depth" section.**}
-- **Data Flow:** {e.g., Unidirectional data flow (Flux/Redux pattern), React Query/SWR for server state. Describe how data is fetched, cached, passed to components, and updated.}
-- **Styling Approach:** **{Chosen Styling Solution, e.g., Tailwind CSS / CSS Modules / Styled Components}**. Configuration File(s): {e.g., `tailwind.config.js`, `postcss.config.js`}. Key conventions: {e.g., "Utility-first approach for Tailwind. Custom components defined in `src/styles/components.css`. Theme extensions in `tailwind.config.js` under `theme.extend`. For CSS Modules, files are co-located with components, e.g., `MyComponent.module.css`.}
-- **Key Design Patterns Used:** {e.g., Provider pattern, Hooks, Higher-Order Components, Service patterns for API calls, Container/Presentational. These patterns are to be consistently applied. Deviations require justification and documentation.}
-
-## Detailed Frontend Directory Structure
-
-{ Provide an ASCII diagram representing the frontend application\'s specific folder structure (e.g., within `src/` or `app/` or a dedicated `frontend/` root directory if part of a monorepo). This should elaborate on the frontend part of the main project structure outlined in the architecture document. Highlight conventions for organizing components, pages/views, services, state, styles, assets, etc. For each key directory, provide a one-sentence mandatory description of its purpose.}

-### Notes on Frontend Structure:
-
-{ Explain any specific conventions or rationale behind the structure. e.g., "Components are co-located with their feature if not globally reusable to improve modularity." AI Agent MUST adhere to this defined structure strictly. New files MUST be placed in the appropriate directory based on these descriptions. }
-
-## Component Breakdown & Implementation Details
-
-{ This section outlines the conventions and templates for defining UI components. Detailed specification for most feature-specific components will emerge as user stories are implemented. The AI agent MUST follow the "Template for Component Specification" below whenever a new component is identified for development. }
-
-### Component Naming & Organization
-
-- **Component Naming Convention:** **{e.g., PascalCase for files and component names: `UserProfileCard.tsx`}**. All component files MUST follow this convention.
-- **Organization:** {e.g., "Globally reusable components in `src/components/ui/` or `src/components/layout/`. Feature-specific components co-located within their feature directory, e.g., `src/features/feature-name/components/`. Refer to Detailed Frontend Directory Structure.}
-
-### Template for Component Specification
-
-{ For each significant UI component identified from the UI/UX Specification and design files (Figma), the following details MUST be provided. Repeat this subsection for each component. The level of detail MUST be sufficient for an AI agent or developer to implement it with minimal ambiguity. }
-
-#### Component: `{ComponentName}` (e.g., `UserProfileCard`, `ProductDetailsView`)
-
-- **Purpose:** {Briefly describe what this component does and its role in the UI. MUST be clear and concise.}
-- **Source File(s):** {e.g., `src/components/user-profile/UserProfileCard.tsx`. MUST be the exact path.}
-- **Visual Reference:** {Link to specific Figma frame/component, or Storybook page. REQUIRED.}
-- **Props (Properties):**
-  { List each prop the component accepts. For each prop, all columns in the table MUST be filled. }
-  | Prop Name | Type                                      | Required? | Default Value | Description                                                                                                |
-  | :-------------- | :---------------------------------------- | :-------- | :------------ | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-  | `userId`        | `string`                                  | Yes       | N/A           | The ID of the user to display. MUST be a valid UUID.                                                     |
-  | `avatarUrl`     | `string \| null`                          | No        | `null`        | URL for the user\'s avatar image. MUST be a valid HTTPS URL if provided.                                    |
-  | `onEdit`        | `() => void`                              | No        | N/A           | Callback function when an edit action is triggered.                                                        |
-  | `variant`       | `\'compact\' \| \'full\'`                     | No        | `\'full\'`        | Controls the display mode of the card.                                                                   |
-  | `{anotherProp}` | `{Specific primitive, imported type, or inline interface/type definition}` | {Yes/No}  | {If any}    | {MUST clearly state the prop\'s purpose and any constraints, e.g., \'Must be a positive integer.\'}         |
-- **Internal State (if any):**
-  { Describe any significant internal state the component manages. Only list state that is *not* derived from props or global state. If state is complex, consider if it should be managed by a custom hook or global state solution instead. }
-  | State Variable | Type      | Initial Value | Description                                                                    |
-  | :-------------- | :-------- | :------------ | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-  | `isLoading`     | `boolean` | `false`       | Tracks if data for the component is loading.                                   |
-  | `{anotherState}`| `{type}`  | `{value}`     | {Description of state variable and its purpose.}                               |
-- **Key UI Elements / Structure:**
-  { Provide a pseudo-HTML or JSX-like structure representing the component\'s DOM. Include key conditional rendering logic if applicable. **This structure dictates the primary output for the AI agent.** }
-  ```html
-  <div> <!-- Main card container with specific class e.g., styles.cardFull or styles.cardCompact based on variant prop -->
-    <img src="{avatarUrl || defaultAvatar}" alt="User Avatar" class="{styles.avatar}" />
-    <h2>{userName}</h2>
-    <p class="{variant === 'full' ? styles.emailFull : styles.emailCompact}">{userEmail}</p>
-    {variant === 'full' && onEdit && <button onClick={onEdit} class="{styles.editButton}">Edit</button>}
-  </div>
-  ```
-- **Events Handled / Emitted:**
-  - **Handles:** {e.g., `onClick` on the edit button (triggers `onEdit` prop).}
-  - **Emits:** {If the component emits custom events/callbacks not covered by props, describe them with their exact signature. e.g., `onFollow: (payload: { userId: string; followed: boolean }) => void`}
-- **Actions Triggered (Side Effects):**
-  - **State Management:** {e.g., "Dispatches `userSlice.actions.setUserName(newName)` from `src/store/slices/userSlice.ts`. Action payload MUST match the defined action creator." OR "Calls `updateUserProfileOptimistic(newData)` from a local `useReducer` hook."}
-  - **API Calls:** {Specify which service/function from the "API Interaction Layer" is called. e.g., "Calls `userService.fetchUser(userId)` from `src/services/userService.ts` on mount. Request payload: `{ userId }`. Success response populates internal state `userData`. Error response dispatches `uiSlice.actions.showErrorToast({ message: 'Failed to load user details' })`.}
-- **Styling Notes:**
-  - {MUST reference specific Design System component names (e.g., "Uses `<Button variant='primary'>` from UI library") OR specify Tailwind CSS classes / CSS module class names to be applied (e.g., "Container uses `p-4 bg-white rounded-lg shadow-md`. Title uses `text-xl font-semibold`.") OR specify SCSS custom component classes to be applied (e.g., "Container uses `@apply p-4 bg-white rounded-lg shadow-md`. Title uses `@apply text-xl font-semibold`."). Any dynamic styling logic based on props or state MUST be described. If Tailwind CSS is used, list primary utility classes or `@apply` directives for custom component classes. AI Agent should prioritize direct utility class usage for simple cases and propose reusable component classes/React components for complex styling patterns.}
-- **Accessibility Notes:**
-  - {MUST list specific ARIA attributes and their values (e.g., `aria-label="User profile card"`, `role="article"`), required keyboard navigation behavior (e.g., "Tab navigates to avatar, name, email, then edit button. Edit button is focusable and activated by Enter/Space."), and any focus management requirements (e.g., "If this component opens a modal, focus MUST be trapped inside. On modal close, focus returns to the trigger element.").}

-## State Management In-Depth
-
-{ This section expands on the State Management strategy. **Refer to the main Architecture Document for the definitive choice of state management solution.** }
-
-- **Chosen Solution:** {e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Vuex, NgRx - As defined in main arch doc.}
-- **Decision Guide for State Location:**
-    - **Global State (e.g., Redux/Zustand):** Data shared across many unrelated components; data persisting across routes; complex state logic managed via reducers/thunks. **MUST be used for session data, user preferences, application-wide notifications.**
-    - **React Context API:** State primarily passed down a specific component subtree (e.g., theme, form context). Simpler state, fewer updates compared to global state. **MUST be used for localized state not suitable for prop drilling but not needed globally.**
-    - **Local Component State (`useState`, `useReducer`):** UI-specific state, not needed outside the component or its direct children (e.g., form input values, dropdown open/close status). **MUST be the default choice unless criteria for Context or Global State are met.**
-
-### Store Structure / Slices
-
-{ Describe the conventions for organizing the global state (e.g., "Each major feature requiring global state will have its own Redux slice located in `src/features/[featureName]/store.ts`"). }
-
-- **Core Slice Example (e.g., `sessionSlice` in `src/store/slices/sessionSlice.ts`):**
-  - **Purpose:** {Manages user session, authentication status, and basic user profile info accessible globally.}
-  - **State Shape (Interface/Type):**
-    ```typescript
-    interface SessionState {
-      currentUser: { id: string; name: string; email: string; roles: string[]; } | null;
-      isAuthenticated: boolean;
-      token: string | null;
-      status: "idle" | "loading" | "succeeded" | "failed";
-      error: string | null;
-    }
-    ```
-  - **Key Reducers/Actions (within `createSlice`):** {Briefly list main synchronous actions, e.g., `setCurrentUser`, `clearSession`, `setAuthStatus`, `setAuthError`.}
-  - **Async Thunks (if any):** {List key async thunks, e.g., `loginUserThunk`, `fetchUserProfileThunk`.}
-  - **Selectors (memoized with `createSelector`):** {List key selectors, e.g., `selectCurrentUser`, `selectIsAuthenticated`.}
-- **Feature Slice Template (e.g., `{featureName}Slice` in `src/features/{featureName}/store.ts`):**
-  - **Purpose:** {To be filled out when a new feature requires its own state slice.}
-  - **State Shape (Interface/Type):** {To be defined by the feature.}
-  - **Key Reducers/Actions (within `createSlice`):** {To be defined by the feature.}
-  - **Async Thunks (if any, defined using `createAsyncThunk`):** {To be defined by the feature.}
-  - **Selectors (memoized with `createSelector`):** {To be defined by the feature.}
-  - **Export:** {All actions and selectors MUST be exported.}
-
-### Key Selectors
-
-{ List important selectors for any core, upfront slices. For emergent feature slices, selectors will be defined with the slice. **ALL selectors deriving data or combining multiple state pieces MUST use `createSelector` from Reselect (or equivalent for other state libraries) for memoization.** }
-
-- **`selectCurrentUser` (from `sessionSlice`):** {Returns the `currentUser` object.}
-- **`selectIsAuthenticated` (from `sessionSlice`):** {Returns `isAuthenticated` boolean.}
-- **`selectAuthToken` (from `sessionSlice`):** {Returns the `token` from `sessionSlice`.}
-
-### Key Actions / Reducers / Thunks
-
-{ Detail more complex actions for core, upfront slices, especially asynchronous thunks or sagas. Each thunk MUST clearly define its purpose, parameters, API calls made (referencing the API Interaction Layer), and how it updates the state on pending, fulfilled, and rejected states. }
-
-- **Core Action/Thunk Example: `authenticateUser(credentials: AuthCredentials)` (in `sessionSlice.ts`):**
-  - **Purpose:** {Handles user login by calling the auth API and updating the `sessionSlice`.}
-  - **Parameters:** `credentials: { email: string; password: string }`
-  - **Dispatch Flow (using Redux Toolkit `createAsyncThunk`):**
-    1. On `pending`: Dispatches `sessionSlice.actions.setAuthStatus('loading')`.
-    2. Calls `authService.login(credentials)` (from `src/services/authService.ts`).
-    3. On `fulfilled` (success): Dispatches `sessionSlice.actions.setCurrentUser(response.data.user)`, `sessionSlice.actions.setToken(response.data.token)`, `sessionSlice.actions.setAuthStatus('succeeded')`.
-    4. On `rejected` (error): Dispatches `sessionSlice.actions.setAuthError(error.message)`, `sessionSlice.actions.setAuthStatus('failed')`.
-- **Feature Action/Thunk Template: `{featureActionName}` (in `{featureName}Slice.ts`):**
-  - **Purpose:** {To be filled out for feature-specific async operations.}
-  - **Parameters:** {Define specific parameters with types.}
-  - **Dispatch Flow (using `createAsyncThunk`):** {To be defined by the feature, following similar patterns for pending, fulfilled, rejected states, including API calls and state updates.}
-
-## API Interaction Layer
-
-{ Describe how the frontend communicates with the backend APIs defined in the main Architecture Document. }
-
-### Client/Service Structure
-
-- **HTTP Client Setup:** {e.g., Axios instance in `src/services/apiClient.ts`. **MUST** include: Base URL (from environment variable `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` or equivalent), default headers (e.g., `Content-Type: 'application/json'`), interceptors for automatic auth token injection (from state management, e.g., `sessionSlice.token`) and standardized error handling/normalization (see below).}
-- **Service Definitions (Example):**
-  - **`userService.ts` (in `src/services/userService.ts`):**
-    - **Purpose:** {Handles all API interactions related to users.}
-    - **Functions:** Each service function MUST have explicit parameter types, a return type (e.g., `Promise<User>`), JSDoc/TSDoc explaining purpose, params, return value, and any specific error handling. It MUST call the configured HTTP client (`apiClient`) with correct endpoint, method, and payload.
-      - `fetchUser(userId: string): Promise<User>`
-      - `updateUserProfile(userId: string, data: UserProfileUpdateDto): Promise<User>`
-  - **`productService.ts` (in `src/services/productService.ts`):**
-    - **Purpose:** {...}
-    - **Functions:** {...}
-
-### Error Handling & Retries (Frontend)
-
-- **Global Error Handling:** {How are API errors caught globally? (e.g., Via Axios response interceptor in `apiClient.ts`). How are they presented/logged? (e.g., Dispatches `uiSlice.actions.showGlobalErrorBanner({ message: error.message })`, logs detailed error to console/monitoring service). Is there a global error state? (e.g., `uiSlice.error`).}
-- **Specific Error Handling:** {Components MAY handle specific API errors locally for more contextual feedback (e.g., displaying an inline message on a form field: "Invalid email address"). This MUST be documented in the component's specification if it deviates from global handling.}
-- **Retry Logic:** {Is client-side retry logic implemented (e.g., using `axios-retry` with `apiClient`)? If so, specify configuration: max retries (e.g., 3), retry conditions (e.g., network errors, 5xx server errors), retry delay (e.g., exponential backoff). **MUST apply only to idempotent requests (GET, PUT, DELETE).**}
-
-## Routing Strategy
-
-{ Detail how navigation and routing are handled in the frontend application. }
-
-- **Routing Library:** {e.g., React Router, Next.js App Router, Vue Router, Angular Router. As per main Architecture Document.}
-
-### Route Definitions
-
-{ List the main routes of the application and the primary component/page rendered for each. }
-
-| Path Pattern           | Component/Page (`src/app/...` or `src/pages/...`) | Protection                      | Notes                                                 |

-
-### Route Guards / Protection
-
-- **Authentication Guard:** {Describe how routes are protected based on authentication status. **Specify the exact HOC, hook, layout, or middleware mechanism and its location** (e.g., `src/guards/AuthGuard.tsx`, or Next.js middleware in `middleware.ts`). Logic MUST use authentication state from the `sessionSlice` (or equivalent). Unauthenticated users attempting to access protected routes MUST be redirected to `/login` (or specified login path).}
-- **Authorization Guard (if applicable):** {Describe how routes might be protected based on user roles or permissions. **Specify the exact mechanism**, similar to Auth Guard. Unauthorized users (authenticated but lacking permissions) MUST be shown a "Forbidden" page or redirected to a safe page.}
-
-## Build, Bundling, and Deployment
-
-{ Details specific to the frontend build and deployment process, complementing the "Infrastructure and Deployment Overview" in the main architecture document. }
-
-### Build Process & Scripts
-
-- **Key Build Scripts (from `package.json`):** {e.g., `"build": "next build"`. What do they do? Point to `package.json` scripts. `"dev": "next dev"`, `"start": "next start"`.}. **AI Agent MUST NOT generate code that hardcodes environment-specific values. All such values MUST be accessed via the defined environment configuration mechanism.** Specify the exact files and access method.
-- **Environment Configuration Management:** {How are `process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` (or equivalent like `import.meta.env.VITE_API_URL`) managed for different environments (dev, staging, prod)? (e.g., `.env`, `.env.development`, `.env.production` files for Next.js/Vite; build-time injection via CI variables). Specify the exact files and access method.}
-
-### Key Bundling Optimizations
-
-- **Code Splitting:** {How is it implemented/ensured? (e.g., "Next.js/Vite handles route-based code splitting automatically. For component-level code splitting, dynamic imports `React.lazy(() => import('./MyComponent'))` or `import('./heavy-module')` MUST be used for non-critical large components/libraries.")}
-- **Tree Shaking:** {How is it implemented/ensured? (e.g., "Ensured by modern build tools like Webpack/Rollup (used by Next.js/Vite) when using ES Modules. Avoid side-effectful imports in shared libraries.")}
-- **Lazy Loading (Components, Images, etc.):** {Strategy for lazy loading. (e.g., "Components: `React.lazy` with `Suspense`. Images: Use framework-specific Image component like `next/image` which handles lazy loading by default, or `loading='lazy'` attribute for standard `<img>` tags.")}
-- **Minification & Compression:** {Handled by build tools (e.g., Webpack/Terser, Vite/esbuild)? Specify if any specific configuration is needed. Compression (e.g., Gzip, Brotli) is typically handled by the hosting platform/CDN.}
-
-### Deployment to CDN/Hosting
-
-- **Target Platform:** {e.g., Vercel, Netlify, AWS S3/CloudFront, Azure Static Web Apps. As per main Architecture Document.}
-- **Deployment Trigger:** {e.g., Git push to `main` branch via GitHub Actions (referencing main CI/CD pipeline).}
-- **Asset Caching Strategy:** {How are static assets cached? (e.g., "Immutable assets (JS/CSS bundles with content hashes) have `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable`. HTML files have `Cache-Control: no-cache` or short max-age (e.g., `public, max-age=0, must-revalidate`) to ensure users get fresh entry points. Configured via {hosting platform settings / `next.config.js` headers / CDN rules}.}
-
-## Frontend Testing Strategy
-
-{ This section elaborates on the "Testing Strategy" from the main architecture document, focusing on frontend-specific aspects. **Refer to the main Architecture Document for definitive choices of testing tools.** }
-
-- **Link to Main Overall Testing Strategy:** {Reference the main `docs/architecture.md#overall-testing-strategy` or equivalent.}
-
-### Component Testing
-
-- **Scope:** {Testing individual UI components in isolation (similar to unit tests for components).}
-- **Tools:** {e.g., React Testing Library with Jest, Vitest, Vue Test Utils, Angular Testing Utilities. As per main Arch Doc.}
-- **Focus:** {Rendering with various props, user interactions (clicks, input changes using `fireEvent` or `userEvent`), event emission, basic internal state changes. **Snapshot testing MUST be used sparingly and with clear justification (e.g., for very stable, purely presentational components with complex DOM structure); prefer explicit assertions.**}
-- **Location:** {e.g., `*.test.tsx` or `*.spec.tsx` co-located alongside components, or in a `__tests__` subdirectory.}
-
-### Feature/Flow Testing (UI Integration)
-
-- **Scope:** {Testing how multiple components interact to fulfill a small user flow or feature within a page, potentially mocking API calls or global state management. e.g., testing a complete form submission within a feature, including validation and interaction with a mocked service layer.}
-- **Tools:** {Same as component testing (e.g., React Testing Library with Jest/Vitest), but with more complex setups involving mock providers for routing, state, API calls.}
-- **Focus:** {Data flow between components, conditional rendering based on interactions, navigation within a feature, integration with mocked services/state.}
-
-### End-to-End UI Testing Tools & Scope
-
-- **Tools:** {Reiterate from main Testing Strategy, e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium.}
-- **Scope (Frontend Focus):** {Define 3-5 key user journeys that MUST be covered by E2E UI tests from a UI perspective, e.g., "User registration and login flow", "Adding an item to cart and proceeding to the checkout page summary", "Submitting a complex multi-step form and verifying success UI state and data persistence (via API mocks or a test backend)."}
-- **Test Data Management for UI:** {How is consistent test data seeded or mocked for UI E2E tests? (e.g., API mocking layer like MSW, backend seeding scripts, dedicated test accounts).}
-
-## Accessibility (AX) Implementation Details
-
-{ Based on the AX requirements in the UI/UX Specification, detail how these will be technically implemented. }
-
-- **Semantic HTML:** {Emphasis on using correct HTML5 elements. **AI Agent MUST prioritize semantic elements (e.g., `<nav>`, `<button>`, `<article>`) over generic `<div>`/`<span>` with ARIA roles where a native element with the correct semantics exists.**}
-- **ARIA Implementation:** {Specify common custom components and their required ARIA patterns (e.g., "Custom select dropdown MUST follow ARIA Combobox pattern including `aria-expanded`, `aria-controls`, `role='combobox'`, etc. Custom Tabs MUST follow ARIA Tabbed Interface pattern."). Link to ARIA Authoring Practices Guide (APG) for reference.}
-- **Keyboard Navigation:** {Ensuring all interactive elements are focusable and operable via keyboard. Focus order MUST be logical. Custom components MUST implement keyboard interaction patterns as per ARIA APG (e.g., arrow keys for radio groups/sliders).**}
-- **Focus Management:** {How is focus managed in modals, dynamic content changes, route transitions? (e.g., "Modals MUST trap focus. On modal open, focus moves to the first focusable element or the modal container. On close, focus returns to the trigger element. Route changes SHOULD move focus to the main content area or H1 of the new page.")}
-- **Testing Tools for AX:** {e.g., Axe DevTools browser extension, Lighthouse accessibility audit. **Automated Axe scans (e.g., using `jest-axe` for component tests, or Playwright/Cypress Axe integration for E2E tests) MUST be integrated into the CI pipeline and fail the build on new violations of WCAG AA (or specified level).** Manual testing procedures: {List key manual checks, e.g., keyboard-only navigation for all interactive elements, screen reader testing (e.g., NVDA/JAWS/VoiceOver) for critical user flows.}}
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-{ Highlight frontend-specific performance optimization strategies. }
-
-- **Image Optimization:** {Formats (e.g., WebP), responsive images (`<picture>`, `srcset`), lazy loading.}
-  - Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "All images MUST use `<Image>` component from Next.js (or equivalent framework-specific optimizer). SVGs for icons. WebP format preferred where supported."}
-- **Code Splitting & Lazy Loading (reiterate from Build section if needed):** {How it impacts perceived performance.}
-  - Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "Next.js handles route-based code splitting automatically. Dynamic imports `import()` MUST be used for component-level lazy loading."}
-- **Minimizing Re-renders:** {Techniques like `React.memo`, `shouldComponentUpdate`, optimized selectors.}
-  - Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "`React.memo` MUST be used for components that render frequently with same props. Selectors for global state MUST be memoized (e.g., with Reselect). Avoid passing new object/array literals or inline functions as props directly in render methods where it can cause unnecessary re-renders."}
-- **Debouncing/Throttling:** {For event handlers like search input or window resize.}
-  - Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "Use a utility like `lodash.debounce` or `lodash.throttle` for specified event handlers. Define debounce/throttle wait times."}
-- **Virtualization:** {For long lists or large data sets (e.g., React Virtualized, TanStack Virtual).}
-  - Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "MUST be used for any list rendering more than {N, e.g., 100} items if performance degradation is observed."}
-- **Caching Strategies (Client-Side):** {Use of browser cache, service workers for PWA capabilities (if applicable).}
-  - Implementation Mandate: {e.g., "Configure service worker (if PWA) to cache application shell and key static assets. Leverage HTTP caching headers for other assets as defined in Deployment section."}
-- **Performance Monitoring Tools:** {e.g., Lighthouse, WebPageTest, browser DevTools performance tab. Specify which ones are primary and any automated checks in CI.}
-
-## Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (l10n) Strategy
-
-{This section defines the strategy for supporting multiple languages and regional differences if applicable. If not applicable, state "Internationalization is not a requirement for this project at this time."}
-
-- **Requirement Level:** {e.g., Not Required, Required for specific languages [list them], Fully internationalized for future expansion.}
-- **Chosen i18n Library/Framework:** {e.g., `react-i18next`, `vue-i18n`, `ngx-translate`, framework-native solution like Next.js i18n routing. Specify the exact library/mechanism.}
-- **Translation File Structure & Format:** {e.g., JSON files per language per feature (`src/features/{featureName}/locales/{lang}.json`), or global files (`public/locales/{lang}.json`). Define the exact path and format (e.g., flat JSON, nested JSON).}
-- **Translation Key Naming Convention:** {e.g., `featureName.componentName.elementText`, `common.submitButton`. MUST be a clear, consistent, and documented pattern.}
-- **Process for Adding New Translatable Strings:** {e.g., "AI Agent MUST add new keys to the default language file (e.g., `en.json`) and use the i18n library's functions/components (e.g., `<Trans>` component, `t()` function) to render text. Keys MUST NOT be constructed dynamically at runtime in a way that prevents static analysis."}
-- **Handling Pluralization:** {Specify method/syntax, e.g., using ICU message format via the chosen library (e.g., `t('key', { count: N })`).}
-- **Date, Time, and Number Formatting:** {Specify if the i18n library handles this, or if another library (e.g., `date-fns-tz` with locale support, `Intl` API directly) and specific formats/styles should be used for each locale.}
-- **Default Language:** {e.g., `en-US`}
-- **Language Switching Mechanism (if applicable):** {How is the language changed by the user and persisted? e.g., "Via a language selector component that updates a global state/cookie and potentially alters the URL route."}
-
-## Feature Flag Management
-
-{This section outlines how conditionally enabled features are managed. If not applicable, state "Feature flags are not a primary architectural concern for this project at this time."}
-
-- **Requirement Level:** {e.g., Not Required, Used for specific rollouts, Core part of development workflow.}
-- **Chosen Feature Flag System/Library:** {e.g., LaunchDarkly, Unleash, Flagsmith, custom solution using environment variables or a configuration service. Specify the exact tool/method.}
-- **Accessing Flags in Code:** {e.g., "Via a custom hook `useFeatureFlag('flag-name'): boolean` or a service `featureFlagService.isOn('flag-name')`. Specify the exact interface, location, and initialization of the service/provider."}
-- **Flag Naming Convention:** {e.g., `[SCOPE]_[FEATURE_NAME]_[TARGET_GROUP_OR_TYPE]`, e.g., `CHECKOUT_NEW_PAYMENT_GATEWAY_ROLLOUT`, `USER_PROFILE_BETA_AVATAR_UPLOAD`. MUST be documented and consistently applied.}
-- **Code Structure for Flagged Features:** {e.g., "Use conditional rendering (`{isFeatureEnabled && <NewComponent />}`). For larger features, conditionally import components (`React.lazy` with flag check) or routes. Avoid complex branching logic deep within shared components; prefer to flag at higher levels."}
-- **Strategy for Code Cleanup (Post-Flag Retirement):** {e.g., "Once a flag is fully rolled out (100% users) and deemed permanent, or fully removed, all conditional logic, old code paths, and the flag itself MUST be removed from the codebase within {N, e.g., 2} sprints. This is a mandatory tech debt item."}
-- **Testing Flagged Features:** {How are different flag variations tested? e.g., "QA team uses a debug panel to toggle flags. Automated E2E tests run with specific flag configurations."}
-
-## Frontend Security Considerations
-
-{This section highlights mandatory frontend-specific security practices, complementing the main Architecture Document. AI Agent MUST adhere to these guidelines.}
-
-- **Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Prevention:**
-  - Framework Reliance: {e.g., "React's JSX auto-escaping MUST be relied upon for rendering dynamic content. Vue's `v-html` MUST be avoided unless content is explicitly sanitized."}
-  - Explicit Sanitization: {If direct DOM manipulation is unavoidable (strongly discouraged), use {specific sanitization library/function like DOMPurify}. Specify its configuration.}
-  - Content Security Policy (CSP): {Is a CSP implemented? How? e.g., "CSP is enforced via HTTP headers set by the backend/CDN as defined in the main Architecture doc. Frontend MAY need to ensure nonce usage for inline scripts if `unsafe-inline` is not allowed." Link to CSP definition if available.}
-- **Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Protection (if applicable for session-based auth):**
-  - Mechanism: {e.g., "Backend uses synchronizer token pattern. Frontend ensures tokens are included in state-changing requests if not handled automatically by HTTP client or forms." Refer to main Architecture Document for backend details.}
-- **Secure Token Storage & Handling (for client-side tokens like JWTs):**
-  - Storage Mechanism: {**MUST specify exact mechanism**: e.g., In-memory via state management (e.g., Redux/Zustand store, cleared on tab close), `HttpOnly` cookies (if backend sets them and frontend doesn't need to read them), `sessionStorage`. **`localStorage` is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED for token storage.**}
-  - Token Refresh: {Describe client-side involvement, e.g., "Interceptor in `apiClient.ts` handles 401 errors to trigger token refresh endpoint."}
-- **Third-Party Script Security:**
-  - Policy: {e.g., "All third-party scripts (analytics, ads, widgets) MUST be vetted for necessity and security. Load scripts asynchronously (`async/defer`)."}
-  - Subresource Integrity (SRI): {e.g., "SRI hashes MUST be used for all external scripts and stylesheets loaded from CDNs where the resource is stable."}
-- **Client-Side Data Validation:**
-  - Purpose: {e.g., "Client-side validation is for UX improvement (immediate feedback) ONLY. **All critical data validation MUST occur server-side** (as defined in the main Architecture Document)."}
-  - Implementation: {e.g., "Use {form_library_name like Formik/React Hook Form} for form validation. Rules should mirror server-side validation where appropriate."}
-- **Preventing Clickjacking:**
-  - Mechanism: {e.g., "Primary defense is `X-Frame-Options` or `frame-ancestors` CSP directive, set by backend/CDN. Frontend code should not rely on frame-busting scripts."}
-- **API Key Exposure (for client-side consumed services):**
-  - Restriction: {e.g., "API keys for services like Google Maps (client-side JS SDK) MUST be restricted (e.g., HTTP referrer, IP address, API restrictions) via the service provider's console."}
-  - Backend Proxy: {e.g., "For keys requiring more secrecy or involving sensitive operations, a backend proxy endpoint MUST be created; frontend calls the proxy, not the third-party service directly."}
-- **Secure Communication (HTTPS):**
-  - Mandate: {e.g., "All communication with backend APIs MUST use HTTPS. Mixed content (HTTP assets on HTTPS page) is forbidden."}
-- **Dependency Vulnerabilities:**
-  - Process: {e.g., "Run `npm audit --audit-level=high` (or equivalent) in CI. High/critical vulnerabilities MUST be addressed before deployment. Monitor Dependabot/Snyk alerts."}
-
-## Browser Support and Progressive Enhancement
-
-{This section defines the target browsers and how the application should behave in less capable or non-standard environments.}
-
-- **Target Browsers:** {e.g., "Latest 2 stable versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Specific versions can be listed if required by project constraints. Internet Explorer (any version) is NOT supported." MUST be explicit.}
-- **Polyfill Strategy:**
-  - Mechanism: {e.g., "Use `core-js@3` imported at the application entry point. Babel `preset-env` is configured with the above browser targets to include necessary polyfills."}
-  - Specific Polyfills (if any beyond `core-js`): {List any other polyfills required for specific features, e.g., `smoothscroll-polyfill`.}
-- **JavaScript Requirement & Progressive Enhancement:**
-  - Baseline: {e.g., "Core application functionality REQUIRES JavaScript enabled in the browser." OR "Key content (e.g., articles, product information) and primary navigation MUST be accessible and readable without JavaScript. Interactive features and enhancements are layered on top with JavaScript (Progressive Enhancement approach)." Specify the chosen approach.}
-  - No-JS Experience (if Progressive Enhancement): {Describe what works without JS. e.g., "Users can view pages and navigate. Forms may not submit or will use standard HTML submission."}
-- **CSS Compatibility & Fallbacks:**
-  - Tooling: {e.g., "Use Autoprefixer (via PostCSS) configured with the target browser list to add vendor prefixes."}
-  - Feature Usage: {e.g., "Avoid CSS features not supported by >90% of target browsers unless a graceful degradation or fallback is explicitly defined and tested (e.g., using `@supports` queries)."}
-- **Accessibility Fallbacks:** {Consider how features behave if certain ARIA versions or advanced accessibility features are not supported by older assistive technologies within the support matrix.}

-# {Project Name} Product Requirements Document (PRD)
-
-## Goal, Objective and Context
-
-This should come mostly from the user or the provided brief, but ask for clarifications as needed.
-
-## Functional Requirements (MVP)
-
-You should have a good idea at this point, but clarify suggest question and explain to ensure these are correct.
-
-## Non Functional Requirements (MVP)
-
-You should have a good idea at this point, but clarify suggest question and explain to ensure these are correct.
-
-## User Interaction and Design Goals
-
-{
-If the product includes a User Interface (UI), this section captures the Product Manager's high-level vision and goals for the User Experience (UX). This information will serve as a crucial starting point and brief for the Design Architect.
-
-Consider and elicit information from the user regarding:
-
-- **Overall Vision & Experience:** What is the desired look and feel (e.g., "modern and minimalist," "friendly and approachable," "data-intensive and professional")? What kind of experience should users have?
-- **Key Interaction Paradigms:** Are there specific ways users will interact with core features (e.g., "drag-and-drop interface for X," "wizard-style setup for Y," "real-time dashboard for Z")?
-- **Core Screens/Views (Conceptual):** From a product perspective, what are the most critical screens or views necessary to deliver the MVP's value? (e.g., "Login Screen," "Main Dashboard," "Item Detail Page," "Settings Page").
-- **Accessibility Aspirations:** Any known high-level accessibility goals (e.g., "must be usable by screen reader users").
-- **Branding Considerations (High-Level):** Any known branding elements or style guides that must be incorporated?
-- **Target Devices/Platforms:** (e.g., "primarily web desktop," "mobile-first responsive web app").
-
-This section is not intended to be a detailed UI specification but rather a product-focused brief to guide the subsequent detailed work by the Design Architect, who will create the comprehensive UI/UX Specification document.
-}
-
-## Technical Assumptions
-
-This is where we can list information mostly to be used by the architect to produce the technical details. This could be anything we already know or found out from the user at a technical high level. Inquire about this from the user to get a basic idea of languages, frameworks, knowledge of starter templates, libraries, external apis, potential library choices etc...
-
-- **Repository & Service Architecture:** {CRITICAL DECISION: Document the chosen repository structure (e.g., Monorepo, Polyrepo) and the high-level service architecture (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless functions within a Monorepo). Explain the rationale based on project goals, MVP scope, team structure, and scalability needs. This decision directly impacts the technical approach and informs the Architect Agent.}

-## Key Reference Documents
-
-{ This section will be created later, from the sections prior to this being carved up into smaller documents }
-
-## Out of Scope Ideas Post MVP
-
-Anything you and the user agreed it out of scope or can be removed from scope to keep MVP lean. Consider the goals of the PRD and what might be extra gold plating or additional features that could wait until the MVP is completed and delivered to assess functionality and market fit or usage.
-
-## [OPTIONAL: For Simplified PM-to-Development Workflow Only] Core Technical Decisions & Application Structure
-
-{This section is to be populated ONLY if the PM is operating in the 'Simplified PM-to-Development Workflow'. It captures essential technical foundations that would typically be defined by an Architect, allowing for a more direct path to development. This information should be gathered after initial PRD sections (Goals, Users, etc.) are drafted, and ideally before or in parallel with detailed Epic/Story definition, and updated as needed.}
-
-### Technology Stack Selections
-
-{Collaboratively define the core technologies. Be specific about choices and versions where appropriate.}
-
-- **Primary Backend Language/Framework:** {e.g., Python/FastAPI, Node.js/Express, Java/Spring Boot}
-- **Primary Frontend Language/Framework (if applicable):** {e.g., TypeScript/React (Next.js), JavaScript/Vue.js}
-- **Database:** {e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS DynamoDB}
-- **Key Libraries/Services (Backend):** {e.g., Authentication (JWT, OAuth provider), ORM (SQLAlchemy), Caching (Redis)}
-- **Key Libraries/Services (Frontend, if applicable):** {e.g., UI Component Library (Material-UI, Tailwind CSS + Headless UI), State Management (Redux, Zustand)}
-- **Deployment Platform/Environment:** {e.g., Docker on AWS ECS, Vercel, Netlify, Kubernetes}
-- **Version Control System:** {e.g., Git with GitHub/GitLab}
-
-### Proposed Application Structure
-
-{Describe the high-level organization of the codebase. This might include a simple text-based directory layout, a list of main modules/components, and a brief explanation of how they interact. The goal is to provide a clear starting point for developers.}
-
-Example:
-
-```

-# AI Orchestrator Instructions
-
-`AgentConfig`: `agent-config.txt`
-
-## Your Role
-
-You are an AI Orchestrator. Your initial active persona, "BMad, Master of the BMAD Method," is defined by the relevant 'BMAD' agent entry in your `AgentConfig` from `personas#bmad`.
-
-Your primary function is to:
-
-1. Orchestrate agent selection and activation based on the loaded `AgentConfig`.
-2. Fully embody the selected agent persona, operating according to its specific definition.
-3. When in your base "BMad" Orchestrator persona, provide guidance on the BMAD Method itself, drawing knowledge from the configured `data#bmad-kb`.
-
-Your communication as the base BMad Orchestrator should be clear, guiding, and focused. Once a specialist agent is activated, your persona transforms completely to that agent's definition.
-
-Operational steps for how you manage persona loading, task execution, and command handling are detailed in [Operational Workflow](#operational-workflow). You must embody only one agent persona at a time.
-
-## Operational Workflow
-
-### 1. Greeting & Initial Configuration
-
-- Greet the user. Explain your role: BMad, the Agile AI Orchestrator and expert in the BMad Method - you can offer guidance or facilitate orchestration.
-- **CRITICAL Internal Step:** Your FIRST action is to load and parse `AgentConfig`. This file provides the definitive list of all available agents, their configurations (persona files, tasks, etc.), and resource paths. If missing or unparsable, inform user and request it.
-- As Orchestrator, you access knowledge from `data#bmad-kb` (loaded per "BMAD" agent entry in `AgentConfig`). Reference this KB ONLY as base Orchestrator. If `AgentConfig` contradicts KB on agent capabilities, `AgentConfig` **is the override and takes precedence.**
-- **If user asks for available agents/tasks, or initial request is unclear:**
-  - Consult loaded `AgentConfig`.
-  - For each agent, present its `Title`, `Name`, `Description`. List its `Tasks` (display names).
-  - Example: "1. Agent 'Product Manager' (John): For PRDs, project planning. Tasks: [Create PRD], [Correct Course]."
-  - Ask user to select agent & optionally a specific task, along with an interaction preference (Default will be interactive, but user can select YOLO (not recommended)).
-
-### 2. Executing Based on Persona Selection
-
-- **Identify Target Agent:** Match user's request against an agent's `Title` or `Name` in `AgentConfig`. If ambiguous, ask for clarification.
-
-- **If an Agent Persona is identified:**
-
-  1. Inform user: "Activating the {Title} Agent, {Name}..."
-  2. **Load Agent Context (from `AgentConfig` definitions):**
-      a. For the agent, retrieve its `Persona` reference (e.g., `"personas#pm"` or `"analyst.md"`), and any lists/references for `templates`, `checklists`, `data`, and `tasks`.
-      b. **Resource Loading Mechanism:**
-      i. If reference is `FILE_PREFIX#SECTION_NAME` (e.g., `personas#pm`): Load `FILE_PREFIX.txt`; extract section `SECTION_NAME` (delimited by `==================== START: SECTION_NAME ====================` and `==================== END: SECTION_NAME ====================` markers).
-      ii. If reference is a direct filename (e.g., `analyst.md`): Load entire content of this file (resolve path as needed).
-      iii. All loaded files (`personas.txt`, `templates.txt`, `checklists.txt`, `data.txt`, `tasks.txt`, or direct `.md` files) are considered directly accessible.
-      c. The active system prompt is the content from agent's `Persona` reference. This defines your new being.
-      d. Apply any `Customize` string from agent's `AgentConfig` entry to the loaded persona. `Customize` string overrides conflicting persona file content.
-      e. You will now **_become_** that agent: adopt its persona, responsibilities, and style. Be aware of other agents' general roles (from `AgentConfig` descriptions), but do not load their full personas. Your Orchestrator persona is now dormant.
-  3. **Initial Agent Response (As activated agent):** Your first response MUST:
-      a. Begin with self-introduction: new `Name` and `Title`.
-      b. If the incoming request to load you does not already indicate the task selected, Explain your available specific `Tasks` you perform (display names from config) so the user can choose.
-      c. Always assume interactive mode unless user requested YOLO mode.
-      e. Given a specific task was passed in or is chosen:
-
-      i. Load task file content (per config & resource loading mechanism) or switch to the task if it is already part of the agents loading persona.
-      ii. These task instructions are your primary guide. Execute them, using `templates`, `checklists`, `data` loaded for your persona or referenced in the task.
-
-  4. **Interaction Continuity (as activated agent):**
-      - Remain in the activated agent role, operating per its persona and chosen task/mode, until user clearly requests to abandon or switch.
-
-## Commands
-
-When these commands are used, perform the listed action
-
-- `/help`: Ask user if they want a list of commands, or help with Workflows or want to know what agent can help them next. If list commands - list all of these help commands row by row with a very brief description.
-- `/yolo`: Toggle YOLO mode - indicate on toggle Entering {YOLO or Interactive} mode.
-- `/agent-list`: output a table with number, Agent Name, Agent Title, Agent available Tasks
-  - If one task is checklist runner, list each checklists the agent has as a separate task, Example `[Run PO Checklist]`, `[Run Story DoD Checklist]`
-- `/{agent}`: If in BMad Orchestrator mode, immediate switch to selected agent (if there is a match) - if already in another agent persona - confirm the switch.
-- `/exit`: Immediately abandon the current agent or party-mode and drop to base BMad Orchestrator
-- `/doc-out`: If a doc is being talked about or refined, output the full document untruncated.
-- `/load-{agent}`: Immediate Abandon current user, switch to the new persona and greet the user.
-- `/tasks`: List the tasks available to the current agent, along with a description.
-- `/bmad {query}`: Even if in an agent - you can talk to base BMad with your query. if you want to keep talking to him, every message must be prefixed with /bmad.
-- `/{agent} {query}`: Ever been talking to the PM and wanna ask the architect a question? Well just like calling bmad, you can call another agent - this is not recommended for most document workflows as it can confuse the LLM.
-- `/party-mode`: This enters group chat with all available agents. The AI will simulate everyone available and you can have fun with all of them at once. During Party Mode, there will be no specific workflows followed - this is for group ideation or just having some fun with your agile team.
-
-## Global Output Requirements Apply to All Agent Personas
-
-- When conversing, do not provide raw internal references to the user; synthesize information naturally.
-- When asking multiple questions or presenting multiple points, number them clearly (e.g., 1., 2a., 2b.) to make response easier.
-- Your output MUST strictly conform to the active persona, responsibilities, knowledge (using specified templates/checklists), and style defined by persona file and task instructions. First response upon activation MUST follow "Initial Agent Response" structure.
-
-<output_formatting>
-
-- Present documents (drafts, final) in clean format.
-- NEVER truncate or omit unchanged sections in document updates/revisions.
-- DO NOT wrap entire document output in outer markdown code blocks.
-- DO properly format individual document elements:
-  - Mermaid diagrams in ```mermaid blocks.
-  - Code snippets in ```language blocks.
-  - Tables using proper markdown syntax.
-- For inline document sections, use proper internal formatting.
-- For complete documents, begin with a brief intro (if appropriate), then content.
-- Ensure individual elements are formatted for correct rendering.
-- This prevents nested markdown and ensures proper formatting.
-- When creating Mermaid diagrams:
-  - Always quote complex labels (spaces, commas, special characters).
-  - Use simple, short IDs (no spaces/special characters).
-  - Test diagram syntax before presenting.
-  - Prefer simple node connections.
-

------
-
-## 1\. Introduction / Preamble
-
-This document outlines the overall project architecture for "BMad Daily Digest," including backend systems, frontend deployment infrastructure, shared services considerations, and non-UI specific concerns. Its primary goal is to serve as the guiding architectural blueprint for AI-driven development and human developers, ensuring consistency and adherence to chosen patterns and technologies as defined in the Product Requirements Document (PRD v0.1) and UI/UX Specification (v0.1).
-
-**Relationship to Frontend Architecture:**
-The frontend application (Next.js) will have its own detailed frontend architecture considerations (component structure, state management, etc.) which will be detailed in a separate Frontend Architecture Document (to be created by the Design Architect, Jane, based on a prompt at the end of this document). This overall Architecture Document will define the backend services the frontend consumes, the infrastructure for hosting the frontend (S3/CloudFront), and ensure alignment on shared technology choices (like TypeScript) and API contracts. The "Definitive Tech Stack Selections" section herein is the single source of truth for all major technology choices across the project.
-
-## 2\. Technical Summary
-
-"BMad Daily Digest" is a serverless application designed to automatically produce a daily audio podcast summarizing top Hacker News posts. The backend, built with TypeScript on Node.js 22 and deployed as AWS Lambda functions, will fetch data from the Algolia HN API, scrape linked articles, process content, and use the Play.ai API for audio generation (with job status managed by AWS Step Functions polling). Podcast metadata will be stored in DynamoDB, and audio files in S3. All backend infrastructure will be managed via AWS CDK within its own repository.
-
-The frontend will be a Next.js (React, TypeScript) application, styled with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui to an "80s retro CRT terminal" aesthetic, kickstarted by an AI UI generation tool. It will be a statically exported site hosted on AWS S3 and delivered globally via AWS CloudFront, with its infrastructure also managed by a separate AWS CDK application within its own repository. The frontend will consume data from the backend via an AWS API Gateway secured with API Keys. The entire system aims for cost-efficiency, leveraging AWS free-tier services where possible.
-
-## 3\. High-Level Overview
-
-The "BMad Daily Digest" system is architected as a decoupled, serverless application designed for automated daily content aggregation and audio generation, with a statically generated frontend for content consumption.
-
-  * **Backend Architectural Style:** The backend employs a **serverless, event-driven architecture** leveraging AWS Lambda functions for discrete processing tasks. These tasks are orchestrated by AWS Step Functions to manage the daily content pipeline, including interactions with external services. An API layer is provided via AWS API Gateway for frontend consumption.
-  * **Frontend Architectural Style:** The frontend is a **statically generated site (SSG)** built with Next.js. This approach maximizes performance, security, and cost-effectiveness by serving pre-built files from AWS S3 via CloudFront.
-  * **Repository Structure:** The project utilizes a **polyrepo structure** with two primary repositories:
-      * `bmad-daily-digest-backend`: Housing all backend TypeScript code, AWS CDK for backend infrastructure, Lambda functions, Step Function definitions, etc.
-      * `bmad-daily-digest-frontend`: Housing the Next.js TypeScript application, UI components, styling, and its dedicated AWS CDK application for S3/CloudFront infrastructure.
-  * **Primary Data Flow & User Interaction (Conceptual):**
-    1.  **Daily Automated Pipeline (Backend):**
-          * An Amazon EventBridge Scheduler rule triggers an AWS Step Function state machine daily.
-          * The Step Function orchestrates a sequence of AWS Lambda functions to:
-              * Fetch top posts and comments from the Algolia HN API (identifying repeats).
-              * Scrape and extract content from linked external article URLs (for new posts or if scraping previously failed).
-              * Aggregate and format the text content (handling new posts, updates, scrape failures, truncation).
-              * Submit the formatted text to the Play.ai PlayNote API, receiving a `jobId`.
-              * Poll the Play.ai API (using the `jobId`) for podcast generation status until completion or failure.
-              * Upon completion, download the generated MP3 audio from Play.ai.
-              * Store the MP3 file in a designated S3 bucket.
-              * Store episode metadata (including the S3 audio link, source HN post details, etc.) in a DynamoDB table and update HN post processing states.
-    2.  **User Consumption (Frontend):**
-          * The user accesses the "BMad Daily Digest" Next.js web application served via AWS CloudFront from an S3 bucket.
-          * The frontend application makes API calls (via `axios`) to an AWS API Gateway endpoint (secured with an API Key).
-          * API Gateway routes these requests to specific AWS Lambda functions that query the DynamoDB table to retrieve episode lists and details.
-          * The frontend renders the information and provides an HTML5 audio player to stream/play the MP3 from its S3/CloudFront URL.

-## 4\. Architectural / Design Patterns Adopted
-
-The following key architectural and design patterns have been chosen for this project:
-
-  * **Serverless Architecture:** Entire backend on AWS Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, Step Functions. Rationale: Minimized operations, auto-scaling, pay-per-use, cost-efficiency.
-  * **Event-Driven Architecture:** Daily pipeline initiated by EventBridge Scheduler; Step Functions orchestrate based on state changes. Rationale: Decoupled components, reactive system for automation.
-  * **Microservices-like Approach (Backend Lambda Functions):** Each Lambda handles a specific, well-defined task. Rationale: Modularity, independent scalability, easier testing/maintenance.
-  * **Static Site Generation (SSG) for Frontend:** Next.js frontend exported as static files, hosted on S3/CloudFront. Rationale: Optimal performance, security, scalability, lower hosting costs.
-  * **Infrastructure as Code (IaC):** AWS CDK in TypeScript for all AWS infrastructure in both repositories. Rationale: Repeatable, version-controlled, automated provisioning.
-  * **Polling Pattern (External Job Status):** AWS Step Functions implement a polling loop for Play.ai job status. Rationale: Reliable tracking of asynchronous third-party jobs, based on Play.ai docs.
-  * **Orchestration Pattern (AWS Step Functions):** End-to-end daily backend pipeline managed by a Step Functions state machine. Rationale: Robust workflow automation, state management, error handling for multi-step processes.
-
-## 5\. Component View

-*Note: "Latest stable" versions should be pinned to specific versions in `package.json` files during development.*
-
-## 11\. Infrastructure and Deployment Overview
-
-  * **Cloud Provider:** AWS.
-  * **Core Services Used:** Lambda, API Gateway (HTTP API), S3, DynamoDB (On-Demand), Step Functions, EventBridge Scheduler, CloudFront, CloudWatch, IAM, ACM (if custom domain).
-  * **IaC:** AWS CDK (TypeScript), with separate CDK apps in backend and frontend polyrepos.
-  * **Deployment Strategy (MVP):** CI (GitHub Actions) for build/test/lint. CDK deployment (initially manual or CI-scripted) to a single AWS environment.
-  * **Environments (MVP):** Local Development; Single Deployed MVP Environment (e.g., "dev" acting as initial production).
-  * **Rollback Strategy (MVP):** CDK stack rollback, Lambda/S3 versioning, DynamoDB PITR.
-
-## 12\. Error Handling Strategy
-
-  * **General Approach:** Custom `Error` classes hierarchy. Promises reject with `Error` objects.
-  * **Logging:** Pino for structured JSON logs to CloudWatch. Standard levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, CRITICAL). Contextual info (AWS Request ID, business IDs). No sensitive data in logs.
-  * **Specific Patterns:**
-      * **External API Calls (`axios`):** Timeouts, retries (e.g., `axios-retry`), wrap errors in custom types.
-      * **Internal Errors:** Custom error types, detailed server-side logging.
-      * **API Gateway Responses:** Translate internal errors to appropriate HTTP errors (4xx, 500) with generic client messages.
-      * **Workflow (Step Functions):** Error handling, retries, catch blocks for states. Failed executions logged.
-      * **Data Consistency:** Lambdas handle partial failures gracefully. Step Functions manage overall workflow state.
-
-## 13\. Coding Standards (Backend: `bmad-daily-digest-backend`)
-
-**Scope:** Applies to `bmad-daily-digest-backend`. Frontend standards are separate.
-
-  * **Primary Language:** TypeScript (Node.js 22).
-  * **Style:** ESLint, Prettier.
-  * **Naming:** Variables/Functions: `camelCase`. Constants: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`. Classes/Interfaces/Types/Enums: `PascalCase`. Files/Folders: `dash-case` (e.g., `episode-service.ts`, `content-ingestion/`).
-  * **Structure:** Feature-based (`src/features/feature-name/`).
-  * **Tests:** Unit/integration tests co-located (`*.test.ts`). E2E tests (if any for backend API) in root `tests/e2e/`.
-  * **Async:** `async`/`await` for Promises.
-  * **Types:** `strict: true`. No `any` without justification. JSDoc for exported items. Inline comments for clarity.
-  * **Dependencies:** `npm` with `package-lock.json`. Pin versions or use tilde (`~`).
-  * **Detailed Conventions:** Immutability preferred. Functional constructs for stateless logic, classes for stateful services/entities. Custom errors. Strict null checks. ESModules. Pino for logging (structured JSON, levels, context, no secrets). Lambda best practices (lean handlers, env vars, optimize size). `axios` with timeouts. AWS SDK v3 modular imports. Avoid common anti-patterns (deep nesting, large functions, `@ts-ignore`, hardcoded secrets, unhandled promises).
-
-## 14\. Overall Testing Strategy
-
-  * **Tools:** Jest, React Testing Library (frontend), ESLint, Prettier, GitHub Actions.
-  * **Unit Tests:** Isolate functions/methods/components. Mock dependencies. Co-located. Developer responsibility.
-  * **Integration Tests (Backend/Frontend):** Test interactions between internal components with external systems mocked (AWS SDK clients, third-party APIs).
-  * **End-to-End (E2E) Tests (MVP):**
-      * Backend API: Automated test for "Hello World"/status. Test daily job trigger verifies DDB/S3 output.
-      * Frontend UI: Key user flows tested manually for MVP. (Playwright deferred to post-MVP).
-  * **Coverage:** Guideline \>80% unit test coverage for critical logic. Quality over quantity. Measured by Jest.
-  * **Mocking:** Jest's built-in system. `axios-mock-adapter` if needed.
-  * **Test Data:** Inline mocks or small fixtures for unit/integration.
-
-## 15\. Security Best Practices
-
-  * **Input Validation:** API Gateway basic validation; Zod for detailed payload validation in Lambdas.
-  * **Output Encoding:** Next.js/React handles XSS for frontend rendering. Backend API is JSON.
-  * **Secrets Management:** Lambda environment variables via CDK (from local gitignored `.env` for MVP setup). No hardcoding. Pino redaction for logs if needed.
-  * **Dependency Security:** `npm audit` in CI. Promptly address high/critical vulnerabilities.
-  * **Authentication/Authorization:** API Gateway API Keys (Frontend Read Key, Admin Action Key). IAM roles with least privilege for service-to-service.
-  * **Principle of Least Privilege (IAM):** Minimal permissions for all IAM roles (Lambdas, Step Functions, CDK).
-  * **API Security:** HTTPS enforced by API Gateway/CloudFront. Basic rate limiting on API Gateway. Frontend uses HTTP security headers (via CloudFront/Next.js).
-  * **Error Disclosure:** Generic errors to client, detailed logs server-side.
-  * **Infrastructure Security:** S3 bucket access restricted (CloudFront OAC/OAI).
-  * **Post-MVP:** Consider SAST/DAST, penetration testing.
-  * **Adherence:** AWS Well-Architected Framework - Security Pillar.

-## Architectural / Design Patterns Adopted
-
-The following key architectural and design patterns have been chosen for this project:
-
-  * **Serverless Architecture:** Entire backend on AWS Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, Step Functions. Rationale: Minimized operations, auto-scaling, pay-per-use, cost-efficiency.
-  * **Event-Driven Architecture:** Daily pipeline initiated by EventBridge Scheduler; Step Functions orchestrate based on state changes. Rationale: Decoupled components, reactive system for automation.
-  * **Microservices-like Approach (Backend Lambda Functions):** Each Lambda handles a specific, well-defined task. Rationale: Modularity, independent scalability, easier testing/maintenance.
-  * **Static Site Generation (SSG) for Frontend:** Next.js frontend exported as static files, hosted on S3/CloudFront. Rationale: Optimal performance, security, scalability, lower hosting costs.
-  * **Infrastructure as Code (IaC):** AWS CDK in TypeScript for all AWS infrastructure in both repositories. Rationale: Repeatable, version-controlled, automated provisioning.
-  * **Polling Pattern (External Job Status):** AWS Step Functions implement a polling loop for Play.ai job status. Rationale: Reliable tracking of asynchronous third-party jobs, based on Play.ai docs.
-  * **Orchestration Pattern (AWS Step Functions):** End-to-end daily backend pipeline managed by a Step Functions state machine. Rationale: Robust workflow automation, state management, error handling for multi-step processes.

-# Epic 1: Backend Foundation, Tooling & "Hello World" API
-
-**Goal:** To establish the core backend project infrastructure in its dedicated repository, including robust development tooling and initial AWS CDK setup for essential services. By the end of this epic:
-1.  A simple "hello world" API endpoint (AWS API Gateway + Lambda) **must** be deployed and testable via `curl`, returning a dynamic message.
-2.  The backend project **must** have ESLint, Prettier, Jest (unit testing), and esbuild (TypeScript bundling) configured and operational.
-3.  Basic unit tests **must** exist for the "hello world" Lambda function.
-4.  Code formatting and linting checks **should** be integrated into a pre-commit hook and/or a basic CI pipeline stub.
-
-## User Stories
-
-**Story 1.1: Initialize Backend Project using TS-TEMPLATE-STARTER**
-* **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I want to create the `bmad-daily-digest-backend` Git repository and initialize it using the existing `TS-TEMPLATE-STARTER`, ensuring all foundational tooling (TypeScript, Node.js 22, ESLint, Prettier, Jest, esbuild) is correctly configured and operational for this specific project, so that I have a high-quality, standardized development environment ready for application logic.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A new, private Git repository named `bmad-daily-digest-backend` **must** be created on GitHub.
-    2.  The contents of the `TS-TEMPLATE-STARTER` project **must** be copied/cloned into this new repository.
-    3.  `package.json` **must** be updated (project name, version, description).
-    4.  Project dependencies **must** be installable.
-    5.  TypeScript setup (`tsconfig.json`) **must** be verified for Node.js 22, esbuild compatibility; project **must** compile.
-    6.  ESLint and Prettier configurations **must** be operational; lint/format scripts **must** execute successfully.
-    7.  Jest configuration **must** be operational; test scripts **must** execute successfully with any starter example tests.
-    8.  Irrelevant generic demo code from starter **should** be removed. `index.ts`/`index.test.ts` can remain as placeholders.
-    9.  A standard `.gitignore` and an updated project `README.md` **must** be present.
-
-**Story 1.2: Pre-commit Hook Implementation**
-* **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I want pre-commit hooks automatically enforced in the `bmad-daily-digest-backend` repository, so that code quality standards (like linting and formatting) are checked and applied to staged files before any code is committed, thereby maintaining codebase consistency and reducing trivial errors.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A pre-commit hook tool (e.g., Husky) **must** be installed and configured.
-    2.  A tool for running linters/formatters on staged files (e.g., `lint-staged`) **must** be installed and configured.
-    3.  Pre-commit hook **must** trigger `lint-staged` on staged `.ts` files.
-    4.  `lint-staged` **must** be configured to run ESLint (`--fix`) and Prettier (`--write`).
-    5.  Attempting to commit files with auto-fixable issues **must** result in fixes applied and successful commit.
-    6.  Attempting to commit files with non-auto-fixable linting errors **must** abort the commit with error messages.
-    7.  Committing clean files **must** proceed without issues.
-
-**Story 1.3: "Hello World" Lambda Function Implementation & Unit Tests**
-* **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I need a simple "Hello World" AWS Lambda function implemented in TypeScript within the `bmad-daily-digest-backend` project. This function, when invoked, should return a dynamic greeting message including the current date and time, and it must be accompanied by comprehensive Jest unit tests, so that our basic serverless compute functionality, testing setup, and TypeScript bundling are validated.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `src/features/publicApi/statusHandler.ts` file (or similar according to final backend structure) **must** contain the Lambda handler.
-    2.  Handler **must** be AWS Lambda compatible (event, context, Promise response).
-    3.  Successful execution **must** return JSON: `statusCode: 200`, body with `message: "Hello from BMad Daily Digest Backend, today is [current_date] at [current_time]."`.
-    4.  Date and time in message **must** be dynamic.
-    5.  A corresponding Jest unit test file (e.g., `src/features/publicApi/statusHandler.test.ts`) **must** be created.
-    6.  Unit tests **must** verify: 200 status, valid JSON body, expected `message` field, "Hello from..." prefix, dynamic date/time portion (use mocked `Date`).
-    7.  All unit tests **must** pass.
-    8.  esbuild configuration **must** correctly bundle the handler.
-
-**Story 1.4: AWS CDK Setup for "Hello World" API (Lambda & API Gateway)**
-* **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I want to define the necessary AWS infrastructure (Lambda function and API Gateway endpoint) for the "Hello World" service using AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) in TypeScript, so that the infrastructure is version-controlled, repeatable, and can be deployed programmatically.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  AWS CDK (v2) **must** be a development dependency.
-    2.  CDK app structure **must** be initialized (e.g., in `cdk/`).
-    3.  A new CDK stack (e.g., `BmadDailyDigestBackendStack`) **must** be defined in TypeScript.
-    4.  CDK stack **must** define an AWS Lambda resource for the "Hello World" function (Node.js 22, bundled code reference, handler entry point, basic IAM role for CloudWatch logs, free-tier conscious settings).
-    5.  CDK stack **must** define an AWS API Gateway (HTTP API preferred) with a route (e.g., `GET /status` or `GET /hello`) triggering the Lambda, secured with the "Frontend Read API Key".
-    6.  CDK stack **must** be synthesizable (`cdk synth`) without errors.
-    7.  CDK code **must** adhere to project ESLint/Prettier standards.
-    8.  Mechanism for passing Lambda environment variables via CDK **must** be in place.
-
-**Story 1.5: "Hello World" API Deployment & Manual Invocation Test**
-* **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I need to deploy the "Hello World" API (defined in AWS CDK) to an AWS environment and successfully invoke its endpoint using a tool like `curl` (including the API Key), so that I can verify the end-to-end deployment process and confirm the basic API is operational in the cloud.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  The AWS CDK stack for "Hello World" API **must** deploy successfully to a designated AWS account/region.
-    2.  The API Gateway endpoint URL for the `/status` (or `/hello`) route **must** be retrievable post-deployment.
-    3.  A `GET` request to the deployed endpoint, including the correct `x-api-key` header, **must** receive a response.
-    4.  HTTP response status **must** be 200 OK.
-    5.  Response body **must** be JSON containing the expected dynamic "Hello..." message.
-    6.  Basic Lambda invocation logs **must** be visible in AWS CloudWatch Logs.
-
-**Story 1.6: Basic CI/CD Pipeline Stub with Quality Gates**
-* **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I need a basic Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline established for the `bmad-daily-digest-backend` repository, so that code quality checks (linting, formatting, unit tests) and the build process are automated upon code pushes and pull requests, ensuring early feedback and maintaining codebase health.

-# Epic 2: Automated Content Ingestion & Podcast Generation Pipeline
-
-**Goal:** To implement the complete automated daily workflow within the backend. This includes fetching Hacker News post data, scraping and extracting content from linked external articles, aggregating and formatting text, submitting it to Play.ai, managing job status via polling, and retrieving/storing the final audio file and associated metadata. This epic delivers the core value proposition of generating the daily audio content and making it ready for consumption via an API.
-
-## User Stories
-
-**Story 2.1: AWS CDK Extension for Epic 2 Resources**
-* **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I need to extend the existing AWS CDK stack within the `bmad-daily-digest-backend` project to define and provision all new AWS resources required for the content ingestion and podcast generation pipeline—including the `BmadDailyDigestEpisodes` DynamoDB table (with GSI), the `HackerNewsPostProcessState` DynamoDB table, an S3 bucket for audio storage, and the AWS Step Functions state machine for orchestrating the Play.ai job status polling—so that all backend infrastructure for this epic is managed as code and ready for the application logic.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  The existing AWS CDK application (from Epic 1) **must** be extended.
-    2.  The `BmadDailyDigestEpisodes` DynamoDB table resource **must** be defined in CDK as specified in the System Architecture Document's "Data Models" section (with `episodeId` PK, key attributes like `publicationDate`, `episodeNumber`, `podcastGeneratedTitle`, `audioS3Key`, `audioS3Bucket`, `playAiJobId`, `playAiSourceAudioUrl`, `sourceHNPosts` list, `status`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`), including a GSI for chronological sorting (e.g., PK `status`, SK `publicationDate`), and PAY_PER_REQUEST billing.
-    3.  The `HackerNewsPostProcessState` DynamoDB table resource **must** be defined in CDK as specified in the System Architecture Document's "Data Models" section (with `hnPostId` PK and attributes like `lastCommentFetchTimestamp`, `lastSuccessfullyScrapedTimestamp`, `lastKnownRank`), and PAY_PER_REQUEST billing.
-    4.  An S3 bucket resource (e.g., `bmad-daily-digest-audio-{unique-suffix}`) **must** be defined via CDK for audio storage, with private access by default.
-    5.  An AWS Step Functions state machine resource **must** be defined via CDK to manage the Play.ai job status polling workflow (as detailed in Story 2.6).
-    6.  Necessary IAM roles and permissions for Lambda functions within this epic to interact with DynamoDB, S3, Step Functions, CloudWatch Logs **must** be defined via CDK, adhering to least privilege.
-    7.  The updated CDK stack **must** synthesize (`cdk synth`) and deploy (`cdk deploy`) successfully.
-    8.  All new CDK code **must** adhere to project ESLint/Prettier standards.
-
-**Story 2.2: Fetch Top Hacker News Posts & Identify Repeats**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to reliably fetch the top N (configurable, e.g., 10) current Hacker News posts daily using the Algolia HN API, including their essential metadata. I also need to identify if each fetched post has been processed in a recent digest by checking against the `HackerNewsPostProcessState` table, so that I have an accurate list of stories and their status (new or repeat) to begin generating the daily digest.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `hackerNewsService.ts` function **must** fetch top N HN posts (stories only) via `axios` from Algolia API (configurable `HN_POSTS_COUNT`).
-    2.  Extracted metadata per post: Title, Article URL, HN Post URL, HN Post ID (`objectID`), Author, Points, Creation timestamp.
-    3.  For each post, the function **must** query the `HackerNewsPostProcessState` DynamoDB table to determine its `isUpdateStatus` (true if `lastSuccessfullyScrapedTimestamp` and `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` indicate prior full processing) and retrieve `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` and `lastKnownRank` if available.
-    4.  Function **must** return an array of HN post objects with metadata, `isUpdateStatus`, `lastCommentFetchTimestamp`, and `lastKnownRank`.
-    5.  Error handling for Algolia/DynamoDB calls **must** be implemented and logged.
-    6.  Unit tests (Jest) **must** verify API calls, data extraction, repeat identification (mocked DDB), and error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.3: Article Content Scraping & Extraction (Conditional)**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, for each Hacker News post identified as *new* (or for which article scraping previously failed and is being retried), I need to robustly fetch its HTML content from the linked article URL and extract the primary textual content and title using libraries like Cheerio and Mozilla Readability. If scraping fails, a fallback mechanism must be triggered.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  An `articleScraperService.ts` function **must** accept an article URL and `isUpdateStatus`.
-    2.  If `isUpdateStatus` is true (article already successfully scraped and stored, though we are not storing full articles long term - this implies we have the article data available from a previous step if it's a repeat post where we don't re-scrape), scraping **must** be skipped. (For MVP, if it's a repeat post, we assume we don't need to re-scrape the article itself, only comments, as per user feedback. This story focuses on *new* scrapes or retries of failed scrapes).
-    3.  If a new scrape is needed: use `axios` (timeout, User-Agent) to fetch HTML.
-    4.  Use `Mozilla Readability` (JS port) and/or `Cheerio` to extract main article text and title.
-    5.  Return `{ success: true, title: string, content: string }` on success.
-    6.  If scraping fails: log failure, return `{ success: false, error: string, fallbackNeeded: true }`.
-    7.  No specific "polite" inter-article scraping delays for MVP.
-    8.  Unit tests (Jest) **must** mock `axios`, test successful extraction, skip logic for non-applicable cases, and failure/fallback scenarios. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.4: Fetch Hacker News Comments (Conditional Logic)**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to fetch comments for each selected Hacker News post using the Algolia HN API, adjusting the strategy to fetch up to N comments for new posts, only new comments since last fetch for repeat posts, or up to 3N comments if article scraping failed.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  `hackerNewsService.ts` **must** be extended to fetch comments for an HN Post ID, accepting `isUpdateStatus`, `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` (from `HackerNewsPostProcessState`), and `articleScrapingFailed` flags.
-    2.  Use `axios` to call Algolia HN API item endpoint.
-    3.  **Comment Fetching Logic:**
-        * If `articleScrapingFailed`: Fetch up to 3 * `HN_COMMENTS_COUNT_PER_POST` available comments.
-        * If `isUpdateStatus`: Fetch all comments, then filter client-side for comments with `created_at_i` > `lastCommentFetchTimestamp`. Select up to `HN_COMMENTS_COUNT_PER_POST` of these *new* comments.
-        * Else (new post, successful scrape): Fetch up to `HN_COMMENTS_COUNT_PER_POST`.
-    4.  For selected comments, extract plain text (HTML stripped), author, creation timestamp.
-    5.  Return array of comment objects; empty if none. An updated `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` (max `created_at_i` of fetched comments for this post) should be available for updating `HackerNewsPostProcessState`.
-    6.  Error handling and logging for API calls.
-    7.  Unit tests (Jest) **must** mock `axios` and verify all conditional fetching logic, comment selection/filtering, data extraction, and error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.5: Content Aggregation and Formatting for Play.ai**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to aggregate the collected Hacker News post data (titles), associated article content (full, truncated, or fallback summary), and comments (new, updated, or extended sets) for all top stories, and format this combined text according to the specified structure for the play.ai PlayNote API, including special phrasing for different post types (new, update, scrape-failed) and configurable article truncation.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `contentFormatterService.ts` **must** be implemented.
-    2.  Inputs: Array of processed HN post objects (with metadata, statuses, content, comments).
-    3.  Output: A single string.
-    4.  String starts: "It's a top 10 countdown for [Current Date]".
-    5.  Posts sequenced in reverse rank order.
-    6.  **Formatting (new post):** "Story [Rank] - [Article Title]. [Full/Truncated Article Text]. Comments Section. [Number] comments follow. Comment 1: [Text]..."
-    7.  **Formatting (repeat post):** "Story [Rank] (previously Rank [OldRank] yesterday) - [Article Title]. We're bringing you new comments on this popular story. Comments Section. [Number] new comments follow. Comment 1: [Text]..."
-    8.  **Formatting (scrape-failed post):** "Story [Rank] - [Article Title]. We couldn't retrieve the full article, but here's a summary if available and the latest comments. [Optional HN Summary]. Comments Section. [Number] comments follow. Comment 1: [Text]..."
-    9.  **Article Truncation:** If `MAX_ARTICLE_LENGTH` (env var) set and article exceeds, truncate aiming to preserve intro/conclusion.
-    10. Graceful handling for missing parts.
-    11. Unit tests (Jest) verify all formatting, truncation, data merging, error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.6 (REVISED): Implement Podcast Generation Status Polling via Play.ai API**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, after submitting a podcast generation job to Play.ai and receiving a `jobId`, I need an AWS Step Function state machine to periodically poll the Play.ai API for the status of this specific job, continuing until the job is reported as "completed" or "failed" (or a configurable max duration/attempts limit is reached), so the system can reliably determine when the podcast audio is ready or if an error occurred.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  The AWS Step Function state machine (CDK defined in Story 2.1) **must** manage the polling workflow.
-    2.  Input: `jobId`.
-    3.  States: Invoke Poller Lambda (calls Play.ai status GET endpoint with `axios`), Wait (configurable `POLLING_INTERVAL_MINUTES`), Choice (evaluates status: "processing", "completed", "failed").
-    4.  Loop if "processing". Stop if "completed" or "failed".
-    5.  Max polling duration/attempts (configurable env vars `MAX_POLLING_DURATION_MINUTES`, `MAX_POLLING_ATTEMPTS`) **must** be enforced, treating expiry as failure.
-    6.  If "completed": extract `audioUrl`, trigger next step (Story 2.8 process) with data.
-    7.  If "failed"/"timeout": log event, record failure (e.g., update episode status in DDB via a Lambda), terminate.
-    8.  Poller Lambda handles API errors gracefully.
-    9.  Unit tests for Poller Lambda logic; Step Function definition tested (locally if possible, or via AWS console tests). All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.7: Submit Content to Play.ai PlayNote API & Initiate Podcast Generation**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to securely submit the aggregated and formatted text content (using `sourceText`) to the play.ai PlayNote API via an `application/json` request to initiate the podcast generation process, and I must capture the `jobId` returned by Play.ai, so that this `jobId` can be passed to the status polling mechanism (Step Function).
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `playAiService.ts` function **must** handle submission.
-    2.  Input: formatted text (from Story 2.5).
-    3.  Use `axios` for `POST` to Play.ai endpoint (e.g., `https://api.play.ai/api/v1/playnotes`).
-    4.  Request `Content-Type: application/json`.
-    5.  JSON body: `sourceText`, and configurable `title`, `voiceId1`, `name1` (default "Angelo"), `voiceId2`, `name2` (default "Deedee"), `styleGuidance` (default "podcast") from env vars.
-    6.  Headers: `Authorization: Bearer <PLAY_AI_BEARER_TOKEN>`, `X-USER-ID: <PLAY_AI_USER_ID>` (from env vars).
-    7.  No `webHookUrl` sent.
-    8.  On success: extract `jobId`, log it, initiate polling Step Function (Story 2.6) with `jobId` and other context (like internal `episodeId`).
-    9.  Error handling for API submission; log and flag failure.
-    10. Unit tests (Jest) mock `axios`, verify API call, auth, payload, `jobId` extraction, Step Function initiation (mocked), error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.8: Retrieve, Store Generated Podcast Audio & Persist Episode Metadata**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, once the podcast generation status polling (Story 2.6) indicates a Play.ai job is "completed," I need to download the generated audio file from the provided `audioUrl`, store this file in our designated S3 bucket, and then save/update all relevant metadata for the episode (including S3 audio location, `episodeNumber`, `podcastGeneratedTitle`, `playAiSourceAudioUrl`, and source HN post information including their `lastCommentFetchTimestamp`) into our DynamoDB tables (`BmadDailyDigestEpisodes` and `HackerNewsPostProcessState`), so that the daily digest is fully processed, archived, and ready for access.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `podcastStorageService.ts` function **must** be triggered by Step Function (Story 2.6) on "completed" status, receiving `audioUrl`, Play.ai `jobId`, and original context (like internal `episodeId`, list of source HN posts with their metadata and processing status).
-    2.  Use `axios` to download audio from `audioUrl`.
-    3.  Upload audio to S3 bucket (from Story 2.1), using key (e.g., `YYYY/MM/DD/episodeId.mp3`).
-    4.  Prepare `Episode` metadata for `BmadDailyDigestEpisodes` table: `episodeId` (UUID), `publicationDate` (YYYY-MM-DD), `episodeNumber` (sequential logic, TBD), `podcastGeneratedTitle` (from Play.ai or constructed), `audioS3Bucket`, `audioS3Key`, `playAiJobId`, `playAiSourceAudioUrl`, `sourceHNPosts` (array of objects: `{ hnPostId, title, originalArticleUrl, hnLink, isUpdateStatus, oldRank, articleScrapingFailed }`), `status: "Published"`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`.
-    5.  For each `hnPostId` in `sourceHNPosts`, update its corresponding item in the `HackerNewsPostProcessState` table with the `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` (current time or max comment time from this run), `lastProcessedDate` (current date), and `lastKnownRank`. If `articleScrapingFailed` was false for this run, update `lastSuccessfullyScrapedTimestamp`.
-    6.  Save `Episode` metadata to `BmadDailyDigestEpisodes` DynamoDB table.
-    7.  Error handling for download, S3 upload, DDB writes; failure should result in episode `status: "Failed"`.
-    8.  Unit tests (Jest) mock `axios`, AWS SDK (S3, DynamoDB); verify data handling, storage, metadata construction for both tables, errors. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.9: Daily Workflow Orchestration & Scheduling**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System Administrator, I need the entire daily backend workflow (Stories 2.2 through 2.8) to be fully orchestrated by the primary AWS Step Function state machine and automatically scheduled to run once per day using Amazon EventBridge Scheduler, ensuring it handles re-runs for the same day by overwriting/starting over (for MVP), so that "BMad Daily Digest" episodes are produced consistently and reliably.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  The primary AWS Step Function state machine **must** orchestrate the sequence: Fetch HN Posts & Identify Repeats (2.2); For each post: conditionally Scrape Article (2.3) & Fetch Comments (2.4); then Aggregate & Format Content (2.5); then Submit to Play.ai & get `jobId` (2.7); then initiate/manage Polling (2.6 using `jobId`); on "completed" polling, trigger Retrieve & Store Audio/Metadata (2.8).
-    2.  State machine **must** manage data flow (inputs/outputs) between steps correctly.
-    3.  Overall workflow error handling: critical step failure marks state machine execution as "Failed" and logs comprehensively. Steps use retries for transient errors.
-    4.  **Idempotency (MVP):** Re-running for the same `publicationDate` **must** re-process and effectively overwrite previous data for that date.
-    5.  Amazon EventBridge Scheduler rule (CDK defined) **must** trigger the main Step Function daily at 12:00 UTC (default, configurable via `DAILY_JOB_SCHEDULE_UTC_CRON`).
-    6.  Successful end-to-end run **must** be demonstrated (e.g., processing sample data through the pipeline).
-    7.  Step Function execution history **must** provide a clear audit trail of steps and data.
-    8.  Unit tests for any new orchestrator-specific Lambda functions (if any not covered). All tests **must** pass.

It complements the main "BMad Daily Digest" System Architecture Document (v0.1) and the UI/UX Specification (v0.1). This document builds upon the foundational decisions (e.g., overall tech stack, CI/CD, primary testing tools) defined in the System Architecture Document and the visual/UX direction from the UI/UX Specification. The initial frontend structure has been scaffolded using an AI UI generation tool (V0.dev), and this document outlines how that scaffold will be developed into the full MVP application.

-
-## 2\. Overall Frontend Philosophy & Patterns
-
-The frontend for "BMad Daily Digest" aims for a unique user experience based on an "80s retro CRT terminal" aesthetic, while being efficient, responsive, and maintainable.
-
-- **Framework & Core Libraries:** Next.js (vLatest stable, e.g., 14.x, using App Router) with React (vLatest stable, e.g., 18.x) and TypeScript. These are derived from the "Definitive Tech Stack Selections" in the System Architecture Document.
-- **Component Architecture:**
-  - Leverage **shadcn/ui** components as a base for building accessible and customizable UI elements.
-  - These components will be heavily themed using **Tailwind CSS** to match the "80s retro CRT terminal" style.
-  - Custom components (like `EpisodeCard`, `StoryItem` from the V0 scaffold) will be developed for application-specific needs, following a presentational/container pattern where appropriate, though for many Next.js App Router components, data fetching will be co-located or handled by Server Components if applicable to the static export strategy.
-- **State Management Strategy (MVP):**
-  - Primarily **local component state** (`useState`, `useReducer`) for UI-specific logic.
-  - **React Context API** for simple, shared state if needed across a limited part of the component tree (e.g., `ThemeProvider` from V0 scaffold).
-  - No complex global state management library (like Redux or Zustand) is planned for the MVP, as the application's state needs are currently simple (fetching and displaying data). This can be reassessed post-MVP if complexity grows.
-- **Data Flow:** Client-side data fetching via the API Interaction Layer (`lib/api-client.ts`) which communicates with the backend API. Next.js App Router conventions for data fetching in pages/components will be used (e.g., `async` Server Components, or `useEffect` in Client Components for data fetching).
-- **Styling Approach:**
-  - **Tailwind CSS:** Primary utility-first framework for all styling. Configuration in `tailwind.config.ts`.
-  - **Global Styles:** Base styles, CSS variable definitions for the theme (e.g., glowing green color, retro fonts), and Tailwind base/components/utilities in `app/globals.css`.
-  - The "80s retro CRT terminal" aesthetic (dark mode, glowing green text, monospaced/pixel fonts) is paramount.
-- **Key Design Patterns Used:**
-  - Server Components & Client Components (Next.js App Router).
-  - Custom Hooks (e.g., `use-mobile.tsx`, `use-toast.ts` from V0 scaffold) for reusable logic.
-  - Composition over inheritance for UI components.
-
-## 3\. Detailed Frontend Directory Structure
-
-The project structure is based on the initial V0.dev scaffold for `bmad-daily-digest-frontend` and standard Next.js App Router conventions. The `cdk/` directory is added for managing frontend-specific AWS infrastructure.

-**Key Directory Descriptions:**
-
-- `app/`: Core Next.js App Router directory for pages, layouts, and global styles. The `(pages)` group organizes user-facing routes.
-- `components/`: Contains reusable React components, with `ui/` for base shadcn/ui elements (customized for the theme) and other files for application-specific composite components (e.g., `episode-card.tsx`).
-- `cdk/`: Houses the AWS CDK application for defining and deploying the frontend's S3 bucket and CloudFront distribution.
-- `hooks/`: For custom React Hooks providing reusable stateful logic.
-- `lib/`: For shared utilities (`utils.ts`), TypeScript type definitions (`types.ts`), and crucially, the `api-client.ts` which will encapsulate all communication with the backend. The initial `data.ts` (mock data from V0) will be phased out as `api-client.ts` is implemented.
-- Root configuration files (`next.config.mjs`, `tailwind.config.ts`, `tsconfig.json`, etc.) manage the Next.js, Tailwind, and TypeScript settings.
-
-## 4\. Component Breakdown & Implementation Details
-
-Components will be developed adhering to React best practices and Next.js App Router conventions (Server and Client Components). The V0 scaffold provides a good starting point for several components (`episode-card.tsx`, `header.tsx`, etc.) which will be refined and made dynamic.
-
-### a. Component Naming & Organization
-
-- **Naming Convention:** `PascalCase` for component file names and component names themselves (e.g., `EpisodeCard.tsx`, `LoadingState.tsx`). Folder names for components (if grouping) will be `dash-case`.
-- **Organization:** Shared, primitive UI elements (heavily themed shadcn/ui components) in `components/ui/`. More complex, domain-specific components directly under `components/` (e.g., `EpisodeCard.tsx`) or grouped into feature-specific subdirectories if the application grows significantly post-MVP.
-
-### b. Template for Component Specification
-
-_(This template should be used when defining new significant components or detailing existing ones that require complex logic or props. For many simple V0-generated presentational components, this level of formal spec might be overkill for MVP if their structure is clear from the code and UI/UX spec)._
-
-#### Component: `{ComponentName}` (e.g., `EpisodeCard`, `StoryItem`)
-
-- **Purpose:** {Briefly describe what this component does and its role.}
-- **Source File(s):** {e.g., `components/episode-card.tsx`}
-- **Visual Reference from UI/UX Spec:** {Link to relevant section/description in UI/UX Spec or conceptual layout.}
-- **Props (Properties):**
-  | Prop Name | Type | Required? | Default Value | Description |
-  | :-------------- | :------------------------ | :-------- | :------------ | :---------------------------------------- |
-  | `{propName}` | `{type}` | Yes/No | N/A | {Description, constraints} |
-- **Internal State (if any):**
-  | State Variable | Type | Initial Value | Description |
-  | :-------------- | :------- | :------------ | :---------------------------------------- |
-  | `{stateName}` | `{type}` | `{value}` | {Description} |
-- **Key UI Elements / Structure (Conceptual JSX/HTML):** {Describe the primary DOM structure and key elements, especially focusing on thematic styling classes from Tailwind.}
-- **Events Handled / Emitted:** {e.g., `onClick` for navigation, custom events.}
-- **Actions Triggered (Side Effects):** {e.g., API calls via `apiClient`, state updates.}
-- **Styling Notes:** {Key Tailwind classes, specific retro theme applications.}
-- **Accessibility Notes:** {ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation specifics.}
-
-### c. Example Key Custom Component: `EpisodeCard.tsx`
-
-_(This is an example of how the template might be briefly applied to an existing V0 component that needs to be made dynamic)._
-
-- **Purpose:** Displays a single episode summary in the Episode List Page, acting as a link to the Episode Detail Page.
-- **Source File(s):** `components/episode-card.tsx`
-- **Props:**
-  | Prop Name | Type | Required? | Description |
-  | :---------------------- | :------------------------------------ | :-------- | :----------------------------------------------- |
-  | `episode` | `EpisodeListItem` (from `lib/types.ts`) | Yes | Data object for the episode to display. |
-- **Key UI Elements / Structure:**
-  - A clickable root container (e.g., `Link` component from Next.js).
-  - Displays "Episode `episode.episodeNumber`: `episode.publicationDate` - `episode.podcastGeneratedTitle`" using themed text components.
-  - Styled with Tailwind to match the "80s retro CRT terminal" aesthetic.
-- **Actions Triggered:** Navigates to `/episodes/${episode.episodeId}` on click.
-- **Styling Notes:** Uses primary glowing green text on dark background. Clear hover/focus state.
-- **Accessibility Notes:** Ensures the entire card is keyboard focusable and clearly indicates it's a link.
-
-## 5\. State Management In-Depth
-
-For the MVP, the state management strategy will be kept simple and align with modern React/Next.js best practices, leveraging built-in capabilities.
-
-- **Chosen Solution(s):**
-  - **Local Component State (`useState`, `useReducer`):** This will be the primary method for managing UI-specific state within individual components (e.g., dropdown open/close, input field values, loading states for component-specific data fetches).
-  - **React Context API:** Will be used for sharing simple, global-like state that doesn't change frequently, such as theme information (e.g., the `ThemeProvider` from the V0 scaffold if it manages aspects of the dark mode or retro theme dynamically) or potentially user authentication status if added post-MVP. For MVP, its use will be minimal.
-  - **URL State:** Next.js App Router's dynamic routes and search parameters will be used to manage state where appropriate (e.g., current `episodeId` in the URL).
-- **No Global State Library for MVP:** A dedicated global state management library (e.g., Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Jotai, Zustand) is **not planned for the initial MVP** due to the current simplicity of application-wide state requirements. Data fetching will be handled by components or page-level Server Components, with data passed down via props or managed via React Context if shared across a limited tree. This decision can be revisited post-MVP if state complexity grows.
-- **Conventions:**
-  - Keep state as close as possible to where it's used.
-  - Lift state up only when necessary for sharing between siblings.
-  - For data fetched from the API, components will typically manage their own loading/error/data states locally (e.g., using custom hooks that wrap calls to `apiClient.ts`).
-
-## 6\. API Interaction Layer (`lib/api-client.ts`)
-
-This module will encapsulate all communication with the `bmad-daily-digest-backend` API.
-
-- **HTTP Client Setup:**
-  - Will use the browser's native **`Workspace` API**, wrapped in utility functions within `api-client.ts` for ease of use, error handling, and request/response processing.
-  - The Backend API Base URL will be sourced from the `NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_API_URL` environment variable.
-  - The "Frontend Read API Key" (if decided upon for backend API access, as discussed with Fred) will be sourced from `NEXT_PUBLIC_FRONTEND_API_KEY` and included in requests via the `x-api-key` header.
-- **Service Functions (examples):**
-  - `async function getEpisodes(): Promise<EpisodeListItem[]>`: Fetches the list of all episodes.
-  - `async function getEpisodeDetails(episodeId: string): Promise<EpisodeDetail | null>`: Fetches details for a specific episode.
-  - These functions will handle constructing request URLs, adding necessary headers (API Key, `Content-Type: application/json` for POST/PUT if any), making the `Workspace` call, parsing JSON responses, and transforming data into the frontend TypeScript types defined in `lib/types.ts`.
-- **Error Handling:**
-  - The `api-client.ts` functions will implement robust error handling for network issues and non-successful HTTP responses from the backend.
-  - Errors will be processed and returned in a consistent format (e.g., throwing a custom `ApiError` object or returning a result object like `{ data: null, error: { message: string, status?: number } }`) that UI components can easily consume to display appropriate feedback to the user (using `error-state.tsx` component).
-  - Detailed errors will be logged to the browser console for debugging during development.
-- **Data Types:** All request and response payloads will be typed using interfaces defined in `lib/types.ts`, aligning with the backend API's data models.
-
-## 7\. Routing Strategy
-
-Routing will be handled by the **Next.js App Router**, leveraging its file-system based routing conventions.
-
-- **Routing Library:** Next.js App Router (built-in).
-- **Route Definitions (MVP):**
-  | Path Pattern | Page Component File Path (`app/...`) | Protection | Notes |
-  | :--------------------- | :------------------------------------------ | :------------- | :---------------------------------- |
-  | `/` or `/episodes` | `(pages)/episodes/page.tsx` | Public | Episode List Page (Homepage) |
-  | `/episodes/[episodeId]`| `(pages)/episodes/[episodeId]/page.tsx` | Public | Episode Detail Page (Dynamic route) |
-  | `/about` | `(pages)/about/page.tsx` | Public | About Page |
-- **Route Guards / Protection (MVP):** No specific client-side route protection (e.g., auth guards) is required for the MVP, as all content is public. The backend API endpoints used by the frontend are protected by an API Key.
-
-## 8\. Build, Bundling, and Deployment
-
-This section aligns with the "Frontend Deployment to S3 & CloudFront via CDK" (Story 3.6) from the PRD and System Architecture Document.
-
-- **Build Process & Scripts (`package.json`):**
-  - `"dev": "next dev"`: Starts the Next.js development server.
-  - `"build": "next build"`: Builds the application for production. For static export, this may be followed by `next export` if using an older Next.js pattern, or newer Next.js versions handle static/hybrid output more directly with the build command for S3/CloudFront compatible deployment. We will aim for a fully static export if all pages support it.
-  - `"start": "next start"`: Starts a production server (less relevant for pure SSG to S3, but good for local production testing).
-  - `"lint": "next lint"`
-  - `"test": "jest"`
-- **Environment Configuration Management:**
-  - Public environment variables (prefixed with `NEXT_PUBLIC_`) like `NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_API_URL` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_FRONTEND_API_KEY` will be managed via `.env.local` (gitignored), `.env.development`, `.env.production` files, and corresponding build-time environment variables in the CI/CD deployment process.
-- **Key Bundling Optimizations (largely handled by Next.js):**
-  - **Code Splitting:** Automatic per-page code splitting by Next.js. Dynamic imports (`next/dynamic` or `React.lazy`) can be used for further component-level splitting if needed post-MVP.
-  - **Tree Shaking:** Handled by Next.js's underlying Webpack/SWC bundler.
-  - **Lazy Loading:** Next.js `next/image` component for image lazy loading. `next/dynamic` for component lazy loading.
-  - **Minification & Compression:** Handled by Next.js production build.
-- **Deployment to S3/CloudFront (via Frontend CDK App):**
-  - The `next build` (and potentially `next export` if using that pattern) output will be synced to an AWS S3 bucket configured for static website hosting.
-  - An AWS CloudFront distribution will serve the content from S3, providing CDN caching, HTTPS, and custom domain support (post-MVP for custom domain).
-  - The CDK app in the `bmad-daily-digest-frontend` repository will manage this S3 bucket and CloudFront distribution.
-
-## 9\. Frontend Testing Strategy
-
-This elaborates on the "Overall Testing Strategy" from the System Architecture Document, focusing on frontend specifics. E2E testing with Playwright is post-MVP.
-
-- **Tools:** Jest with React Testing Library (RTL) for unit and component integration tests.
-- **Unit Tests:**
-  - **Scope:** Individual utility functions, custom hooks, and simple presentational components.
-  - **Focus:** Logic correctness, handling of different inputs/props.
-- **Component Tests / UI Integration Tests (using RTL):**
-  - **Scope:** Testing individual React components or small groups of interacting components in isolation from the full application, but verifying their rendering, interactions, and basic state changes.
-  - **Focus:** Correct rendering based on props/state, user interactions (clicks, form inputs if any using `@testing-library/user-event`), event emission, accessibility attributes. API calls from components (via `apiClient.ts`) will be mocked.
-  - **Location:** Co-located with components (e.g., `MyComponent.test.tsx`).
-- **Test Coverage:** Aim for meaningful coverage of critical components and logic (\>70-80% as a guideline). Quality over quantity.
-- **Mocking:** Jest mocks for API service layer (`apiClient.ts`), Next.js router (`next/router` or `next/navigation`), and any browser APIs not available in JSDOM.
-
-## 10\. Accessibility (AX) Implementation Details
-
-This section details how the AX requirements from the UI/UX Specification will be technically implemented.
-
-- **Semantic HTML:** Prioritize using correct HTML5 elements (e.g., `<nav>`, `<main>`, `<article>`, `<button>`) as provided by Next.js and React, or within custom JSX, to ensure inherent accessibility.
-- **ARIA Implementation:** `shadcn/ui` components generally provide good ARIA support out-of-the-box. For any custom components or interactions not covered, appropriate ARIA roles, states, and properties will be added as per WAI-ARIA authoring practices.
-- **Keyboard Navigation:** Ensure all interactive elements (links, custom components from shadcn/ui, audio player) are focusable and operable via keyboard. Logical focus order will be maintained. Focus visible styles will adhere to the retro theme (e.g., brighter green outline or block cursor).
-- **Focus Management:** For any future modals or dynamic UI changes that might trap focus, proper focus management techniques will be implemented.
-- **Contrast & Theming:** The "80s retro CRT terminal" theme (glowing green on dark) requires careful selection of shades to meet WCAG AA contrast ratios for text. This will be verified using accessibility tools during development and testing.
-- **Testing Tools for AX:**
-  - Browser extensions like Axe DevTools or WAVE during development.
-  - Automated checks using `jest-axe` for component tests where applicable.
-  - Lighthouse accessibility audits in browser developer tools.
-  - Manual keyboard navigation and screen reader (e.g., NVDA, VoiceOver) checks for key user flows.
-
-## 11\. Performance Considerations
-
-Frontend performance is key for a good user experience, especially for busy executives.
-
-- **Next.js Optimizations:** Leverage built-in Next.js features:
-  - Static Site Generation (SSG) for all pages where possible for fastest load times.
-  - `next/image` for optimized image loading (formats, sizes, lazy loading), though MVP is text-heavy.
-  - `next/font` for optimized web font loading if custom retro fonts are used.
-  - Automatic code splitting.
-- **Minimizing Re-renders (React):** Use `React.memo` for components that render frequently with the same props. Optimize data structures passed as props. Use `useCallback` and `useMemo` judiciously for expensive computations or to preserve reference equality for props.
-- **Bundle Size:** Monitor frontend bundle size. While Next.js optimizes, be mindful of large dependencies. Use dynamic imports for non-critical, large components/libraries if they arise post-MVP.
-- **Efficient Data Fetching:** Ensure API calls via `apiClient.ts` are efficient and only fetch necessary data for each view.
-- **Debouncing/Throttling:** Not anticipated for MVP core features, but if any real-time input features were added post-MVP (e.g., search), these techniques would be applied.
-- **Performance Monitoring Tools:** Browser DevTools (Lighthouse, Performance tab), Next.js build output analysis.
-
-## 12\. Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (l10n) Strategy
-
-- **Not a requirement for MVP.** The application will be developed in English only. This can be revisited post-MVP if there's a need to support other languages.
-
-## 13\. Feature Flag Management
-
-- **Not a requirement for MVP.** No complex feature flagging system will be implemented for the initial release. New features will be released directly.
-
-## 14\. Frontend Security Considerations
-
-Aligns with "Security Best Practices" in the System Architecture Document.
-
-- **XSS Prevention:** Rely on React's JSX auto-escaping. Avoid `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`.
-- **API Key Handling:** The `NEXT_PUBLIC_FRONTEND_API_KEY` for accessing the backend API will be embedded in the static build. While "public," it's specific to this frontend and can be rotated if necessary. This key should grant minimal (read-only) privileges on the backend.
-- **Third-Party Scripts:** Minimize use for MVP. If any are added (e.g., analytics post-MVP), vet for security and use Subresource Integrity (SRI) if loaded from CDNs.
-- **HTTPS:** Enforced by CloudFront.
-- **Dependency Vulnerabilities:** `npm audit` in CI.
-
-## 15\. Browser Support and Progressive Enhancement
-
-- **Target Browsers:** Latest 2 stable versions of modern evergreen browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Internet Explorer is NOT supported.
-- **Polyfill Strategy:** Next.js handles most necessary polyfills based on browser targets and features used. `core-js` might be implicitly included.
-- **JavaScript Requirement:** The application is a Next.js (React) Single Page Application and **requires JavaScript to be enabled** for all functionality. No significant progressive enhancement for non-JS environments is planned for MVP.
-- **CSS Compatibility:** Use Tailwind CSS with Autoprefixer (handled by Next.js build process) to ensure CSS compatibility with target browsers.

-  * **Types:** `strict: true`. No `any` without justification. JSDoc for exported items. Inline comments for clarity.
-  * **Dependencies:** `npm` with `package-lock.json`. Pin versions or use tilde (`~`).
-  * **Detailed Conventions:** Immutability preferred. Functional constructs for stateless logic, classes for stateful services/entities. Custom errors. Strict null checks. ESModules. Pino for logging (structured JSON, levels, context, no secrets). Lambda best practices (lean handlers, env vars, optimize size). `axios` with timeouts. AWS SDK v3 modular imports. Avoid common anti-patterns (deep nesting, large functions, `@ts-ignore`, hardcoded secrets, unhandled promises).
-
-## Overall Testing Strategy
-
-  * **Tools:** Jest, React Testing Library (frontend), ESLint, Prettier, GitHub Actions.
-  * **Unit Tests:** Isolate functions/methods/components. Mock dependencies. Co-located. Developer responsibility.
-  * **Integration Tests (Backend/Frontend):** Test interactions between internal components with external systems mocked (AWS SDK clients, third-party APIs).
-  * **End-to-End (E2E) Tests (MVP):**
-      * Backend API: Automated test for "Hello World"/status. Test daily job trigger verifies DDB/S3 output.
-      * Frontend UI: Key user flows tested manually for MVP. (Playwright deferred to post-MVP).
-  * **Coverage:** Guideline \>80% unit test coverage for critical logic. Quality over quantity. Measured by Jest.
-  * **Mocking:** Jest's built-in system. `axios-mock-adapter` if needed.
-  * **Test Data:** Inline mocks or small fixtures for unit/integration.
-
-## Error Handling Strategy
-
-  * **General Approach:** Custom `Error` classes hierarchy. Promises reject with `Error` objects.
-  * **Logging:** Pino for structured JSON logs to CloudWatch. Standard levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, CRITICAL). Contextual info (AWS Request ID, business IDs). No sensitive data in logs.
-  * **Specific Patterns:**
-      * **External API Calls (`axios`):** Timeouts, retries (e.g., `axios-retry`), wrap errors in custom types.
-      * **Internal Errors:** Custom error types, detailed server-side logging.
-      * **API Gateway Responses:** Translate internal errors to appropriate HTTP errors (4xx, 500) with generic client messages.
-      * **Workflow (Step Functions):** Error handling, retries, catch blocks for states. Failed executions logged.
-      * **Data Consistency:** Lambdas handle partial failures gracefully. Step Functions manage overall workflow state.
-
-## Security Best Practices
-
-  * **Input Validation:** API Gateway basic validation; Zod for detailed payload validation in Lambdas.
-  * **Output Encoding:** Next.js/React handles XSS for frontend rendering. Backend API is JSON.
-  * **Secrets Management:** Lambda environment variables via CDK (from local gitignored `.env` for MVP setup). No hardcoding. Pino redaction for logs if needed.
-  * **Dependency Security:** `npm audit` in CI. Promptly address high/critical vulnerabilities.
-  * **Authentication/Authorization:** API Gateway API Keys (Frontend Read Key, Admin Action Key). IAM roles with least privilege for service-to-service.
-  * **Principle of Least Privilege (IAM):** Minimal permissions for all IAM roles (Lambdas, Step Functions, CDK).
-  * **API Security:** HTTPS enforced by API Gateway/CloudFront. Basic rate limiting on API Gateway. Frontend uses HTTP security headers (via CloudFront/Next.js).
-  * **Error Disclosure:** Generic errors to client, detailed logs server-side.
-  * **Infrastructure Security:** S3 bucket access restricted (CloudFront OAC/OAI).
-  * **Post-MVP:** Consider SAST/DAST, penetration testing.
-  * **Adherence:** AWS Well-Architected Framework - Security Pillar.

-# BMad Daily Digest Product Requirements Document (PRD)
-
-**Version:** 0.1
-**Date:** May 20, 2025
-**Author:** JohnAI
-
-## 1. Goal, Objective and Context
-
-* **Overall Goal:** To provide busy tech executives with a quick, daily audio digest of top Hacker News posts and discussions, enabling them to stay effortlessly informed.
-* **Project Objective (MVP Focus):** To successfully launch the "BMad Daily Digest" by:
-    * Automating the daily fetching of top 10 Hacker News posts (article metadata and comments via Algolia HN API) and scraping of linked article content.
-    * Processing this content into a structured format.
-    * Generating a 2-agent audio podcast using the play.ai PlayNote API.
-    * Delivering the podcast via a simple Next.js web application (polyrepo structure) with a list of episodes and detail pages including an audio player and links to source materials.
-    * Operating this process daily, aiming for delivery by a consistent morning hour.
-    * Adhering to a full TypeScript stack (Node.js 22 for backend), with a Next.js frontend, AWS Lambda backend, DynamoDB, S3, and AWS CDK for IaC, while aiming to stay within AWS free-tier limits where possible.
-* **Context/Problem Solved:** Busy tech executives lack the time to thoroughly read Hacker News daily but need to stay updated on key tech discussions, trends, and news for strategic insights. "BMad Daily Digest" solves this by offering a convenient, curated audio summary.
-
-## 2. Functional Requirements (MVP)
-
-**FR1: Content Acquisition**
-* The system **must** automatically fetch data for the top 10 (configurable) posts from Hacker News daily.
-* For each Hacker News post, the system **must** identify and retrieve:
-    * The URL of the linked article.
-    * Key metadata about the Hacker News post (e.g., title, HN link, score, author, HN Post ID).
-* The system **must** fetch comments for each identified Hacker News post using the Algolia HN Search API, with logic to handle new vs. repeat posts and scraping failures differently.
-* The system **must** attempt to scrape and extract the primary textual content from the linked article URL for each of the top posts (unless it's a repeat post where only new comments are needed).
-    * This process should aim to isolate the main article body.
-    * If scraping fails, a fallback using HN title, summary (if available), and increased comments **must** be used.
-
-**FR2: Content Processing and Formatting**
-* The system **must** aggregate the extracted/fallback article content and selected comments for the top 10 posts.
-* The system **must** process and structure the aggregated text content into a single text file suitable for submission to the play.ai PlayNote API.
-    * The text file **must** begin with an introductory sentence: "It's a top 10 countdown for [Today'sDate]".
-    * Content **must** be structured sequentially (e.g., "Story 10 - [details]..."), with special phrasing for repeat posts or posts where article scraping failed.
-    * Article content may be truncated if `MAX_ARTICLE_LENGTH` is set, preserving intro/conclusion where possible.
-
-**FR3: Podcast Generation**
-* The system **must** submit the formatted text content to the play.ai PlayNote API daily using specified voice and style parameters (configurable via environment variables).
-* The system **must** capture the `jobId` from Play.ai and use a polling mechanism (e.g., AWS Step Functions) to check for job completion status.
-* Upon successful completion, the system **must** retrieve the generated audio podcast file from the Play.ai-provided URL.
-* The system **must** store the generated audio file (e.g., on S3) and its associated metadata (including episode number, generated title, S3 location, original Play.ai URL, source HN posts, and processing status) in DynamoDB.
-
-**FR4: Web Application Interface (MVP)**
-* The system **must** provide a web application (Next.js, "80s retro CRT terminal" theme with Tailwind CSS & shadcn/ui) with a **List Page** that:
-    * Displays a chronological list (newest first) of all generated "BMad Daily Digest" episodes, formatted as "Episode [EpisodeNumber]: [PublicationDate] - [PodcastTitle]".
-    * Allows users to navigate to a Detail Page for each episode.
-* The system **must** provide a web application with a **Detail Page** for each episode that:
-    * Displays the `podcastGeneratedTitle`, `publicationDate`, and `episodeNumber`.
-    * Includes an embedded HTML5 audio player for the podcast.
-    * Lists the individual Hacker News stories included, with direct links to the original source article and the Hacker News discussion page.
-* The system **must** provide a minimalist **About Page**.
-* The web application **must** be responsive.
-
-**FR5: Automation and Scheduling**
-* The entire end-to-end backend process **must** be orchestrated (preferably via AWS Step Functions) and automated to run daily, triggered by Amazon EventBridge Scheduler (default 12:00 UTC, configurable).
-* For MVP, a re-run of the daily job for the same day **must** overwrite/start over previous data for that day.
-
-## 3. Non-Functional Requirements (MVP)
-
-**a. Performance:**
-* **Podcast Generation Time:** The daily process should complete in a timely manner (e.g., target by 8 AM CST/12:00-13:00 UTC, specific completion window TBD based on Play.ai processing).
-* **Web Application Load Time:** Pages on the Next.js app should aim for fast load times (e.g., target under 3-5 seconds).
-
-**b. Reliability / Availability:**
-* **Daily Process Success Rate:** Target >95% success rate for automated podcast generation without manual intervention.
-* **Web Application Uptime:** Target 99.5%+ uptime.

-* **User Experience:** Highly efficient, clear navigation, no clutter, prioritizing content readability for busy tech executives.
-
-**b. Key Interaction Paradigms (MVP):**
-* View list of digests (reverse chronological), select one for details. No sorting/filtering on list page for MVP.
-
-**c. Core Screens/Views (MVP):**
-* **List Page:** Episodes ("Episode [N]: [Date] - [PodcastTitle]").
-* **Detail Page:** Episode details, HTML5 audio player, list of source HN stories with links to articles and HN discussions.
-* **About Page:** Minimalist, explaining the service, consistent theme.
-
-**d. Accessibility Aspirations (MVP):**
-* Standard considerations: good contrast (critical for theme), keyboard navigation, basic screen reader compatibility.
-
-**e. Branding Considerations (High-Level):**
-* "80s retro everything" theme is central. Logo/typeface should complement this (e.g., pixel art, retro fonts).
-
-**f. Target Devices/Platforms:**
-* Responsive web application, good UX on desktop and mobile.
-
-## 5. Technical Assumptions

-        8.  esbuild configuration **must** correctly bundle the handler.
-
-    **Story 1.4: AWS CDK Setup for "Hello World" API (Lambda & API Gateway)**
-    * **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I want to define the necessary AWS infrastructure (Lambda function and API Gateway endpoint) for the "Hello World" service using AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) in TypeScript, so that the infrastructure is version-controlled, repeatable, and can be deployed programmatically.
-    * **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-        1.  AWS CDK (v2) **must** be a development dependency.
-        2.  CDK app structure **must** be initialized (e.g., in `cdk/` or `infra/`).
-        3.  A new CDK stack (e.g., `BmadDailyDigestBackendStack`) **must** be defined in TypeScript.
-        4.  CDK stack **must** define an AWS Lambda resource for the "Hello World" function (Node.js 22, bundled code reference, handler entry point, basic IAM role for CloudWatch logs, free-tier conscious settings).

-
-    **Story 1.5: "Hello World" API Deployment & Manual Invocation Test**
-    * **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I need to deploy the "Hello World" API (defined in AWS CDK) to an AWS environment and successfully invoke its endpoint using a tool like `curl`, so that I can verify the end-to-end deployment process and confirm the basic API is operational in the cloud.
-    * **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-        1.  The AWS CDK stack for "Hello World" API **must** deploy successfully to a designated AWS account/region.
-        2.  The API Gateway endpoint URL for `/hello` **must** be retrievable post-deployment.
-        3.  A `GET` request to the deployed `/hello` endpoint **must** receive a response.

-        5.  Response body **must** be JSON containing the expected dynamic "Hello..." message.
-        6.  Basic Lambda invocation logs **must** be visible in AWS CloudWatch Logs.
-
-    **Story 1.6: Basic CI/CD Pipeline Stub with Quality Gates**
-    * **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I need a basic Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline established for the `bmad-daily-digest-backend` repository, so that code quality checks (linting, formatting, unit tests) and the build process are automated upon code pushes and pull requests, ensuring early feedback and maintaining codebase health.
-    * **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-        1.  A CI workflow file (e.g., GitHub Actions in `.github/workflows/main.yml`) **must** be created.
-        2.  Pipeline **must** trigger on pushes to `main` and PRs targeting `main`.

-        4.  Pipeline **must** fail if any lint, format, test, or bundle step fails.
-        5.  A successful CI run on the `main` branch (with "Hello World" code) **must** be demonstrated.
-        6.  CI pipeline for MVP **does not** need to perform AWS deployment; focus is on quality gates.
-
----
-**Epic 2: Automated Content Ingestion & Podcast Generation Pipeline**
-
-**Goal:** To implement the complete automated daily workflow within the backend. This includes fetching Hacker News post data, scraping and extracting content from linked external articles, aggregating and formatting text, submitting it to Play.ai, managing job status via polling, and retrieving/storing the final audio file and associated metadata. This epic delivers the core value proposition of generating the daily audio content and making it ready for consumption via an API.
-
-**User Stories for Epic 2:**
-
-**Story 2.1: AWS CDK Extension for Epic 2 Resources**
-* **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I need to extend the existing AWS CDK stack within the `bmad-daily-digest-backend` project to define and provision all new AWS resources required for the content ingestion and podcast generation pipeline—including a DynamoDB table for episode and processed post metadata, an S3 bucket for audio storage, and the AWS Step Functions state machine for orchestrating the Play.ai job status polling—so that all backend infrastructure for this epic is managed as code and ready for the application logic.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  The existing AWS CDK application (from Epic 1) **must** be extended with new resource definitions for Epic 2.
-    2.  A DynamoDB table (e.g., `BmadDailyDigestEpisodes`) **must** be defined via CDK for episode metadata, with `episodeId` (String UUID) as PK, key attributes (`publicationDate`, `episodeNumber`, `podcastGeneratedTitle`, `audioS3Key`, `audioS3Bucket`, `playAiJobId`, `playAiSourceAudioUrl`, `sourceHNPosts` (List of objects: `{ hnPostId, title, originalArticleUrl, hnLink, isUpdateStatus, lastCommentFetchTimestamp, oldRank }`), `status`, `createdAt`), and PAY_PER_REQUEST billing.
-    3.  A DynamoDB table or GSI strategy **must** be defined via CDK to efficiently track processed Hacker News posts (`hnPostId`) and their `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` to support the "new comments only" feature.
-    4.  An S3 bucket (e.g., `bmad-daily-digest-audio-{unique-suffix}`) **must** be defined via CDK for audio storage, with private access.
-    5.  An AWS Step Functions state machine **must** be defined via CDK to manage the Play.ai job status polling workflow (details in Story 2.6).
-    6.  Necessary IAM roles/permissions for Lambdas to interact with DynamoDB, S3, Step Functions, CloudWatch Logs **must** be defined via CDK.
-    7.  The updated CDK stack **must** synthesize (`cdk synth`) and deploy (`cdk deploy`) successfully.
-    8.  All new CDK code **must** adhere to project ESLint/Prettier standards.
-
-**Story 2.2: Fetch Top Hacker News Posts & Identify Repeats**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to reliably fetch the top N (configurable, e.g., 10) current Hacker News posts daily using the Algolia HN API, including their essential metadata. I also need to identify if each fetched post has been processed in a recent digest by checking against stored data, so that I have an accurate list of stories and their status (new or repeat) to begin generating the daily digest.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `hackerNewsService.ts` function **must** fetch top N HN posts (stories only) via `axios` from Algolia API (configurable `HN_POSTS_COUNT`).
-    2.  Extracted metadata per post: Title, Article URL, HN Post URL, HN Post ID (`objectID`), Author, Points, Creation timestamp.
-    3.  For each post, the function **must** query DynamoDB (see Story 2.1 AC#3) to determine its `isUpdateStatus` (true if recently processed and article scraped) and retrieve `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` and `oldRank` if available.
-    4.  Function **must** return an array of HN post objects with metadata, `isUpdateStatus`, `lastCommentFetchTimestamp`, and `oldRank`.
-    5.  Error handling for Algolia/DynamoDB calls **must** be implemented and logged.
-    6.  Unit tests (Jest) **must** verify API calls, data extraction, repeat identification (mocked DDB), and error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.3: Article Content Scraping & Extraction (Conditional)**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, for each Hacker News post identified as *new* (or for which article scraping previously failed), I need to robustly fetch its HTML content from the linked article URL and extract the primary textual content and title. If scraping fails, a fallback mechanism must be triggered using available HN metadata and signaling the need for increased comments.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  An `articleScraperService.ts` function **must** accept an article URL and `isUpdateStatus`.
-    2.  If `isUpdateStatus` is true (article already scraped and good), scraping **must** be skipped, and a success status indicating no new scrape needed is returned (or pre-existing content reference).
-    3.  If new scrape needed: use `axios` (timeout, User-Agent) to fetch HTML.
-    4.  Use `Mozilla Readability` (JS port) or similar to extract main article text and title.
-    5.  Return `{ success: true, title: string, content: string, ... }` on success.
-    6.  If scraping fails: log failure, return `{ success: false, error: string, fallbackNeeded: true }`.
-    7.  No "polite" inter-article scraping delays for MVP.
-    8.  Unit tests (Jest) **must** mock `axios`, test successful extraction, skip logic, and failure/fallback scenarios. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.4: Fetch Hacker News Comments (Conditional Logic)**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to fetch comments for each selected Hacker News post using the Algolia HN API, adjusting the strategy based on whether the post is new, a repeat (requiring only new comments), or if its article scraping failed (requiring more comments).
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  `hackerNewsService.ts` **must** be extended to fetch comments for an HN Post ID, accepting `isUpdateStatus`, `lastCommentFetchTimestamp`, and `articleScrapingFailed` flags.
-    2.  Use `axios` to call Algolia HN API item endpoint (`/api/v1/items/[POST_ID]`).
-    3.  **Comment Fetching Logic:**
-        * If `articleScrapingFailed`: Fetch up to 3x `HN_COMMENTS_COUNT_PER_POST` (configurable, e.g., ~150) available comments (top-level first, then immediate children, by Algolia sort order).
-        * If `isUpdateStatus` (repeat post): Fetch all comments, then filter client-side for comments with `created_at_i` > `lastCommentFetchTimestamp`. Select up to `HN_COMMENTS_COUNT_PER_POST` of these *new* comments.
-        * Else (new post, successful scrape): Fetch up to `HN_COMMENTS_COUNT_PER_POST` (configurable, e.g., ~50) available comments.
-    4.  Extract plain text (HTML stripped), author, creation timestamp for selected comments.
-    5.  Return array of comment objects; empty if none.
-    6.  Error handling and logging for API calls.
-    7.  Unit tests (Jest) **must** mock `axios` and verify all conditional fetching logic, comment selection/filtering, data extraction (HTML stripping), and error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.5: Content Aggregation and Formatting for Play.ai**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to aggregate the collected Hacker News post data (titles), associated article content (full, truncated, or fallback summary), and comments (new, updated, or extended sets) for all top stories, and format this combined text according to the specified structure for the play.ai PlayNote API, including special phrasing for different post types (new, update, scrape-failed), so that it's ready for podcast generation.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `contentFormatterService.ts` **must** be implemented.
-    2.  It **must** accept an array of processed HN post objects (containing all necessary metadata, statuses, content, and comments).
-    3.  Output **must** be a single string.
-    4.  String **must** start: "It's a top 10 countdown for [Current Date]".
-    5.  Posts **must** be sequenced in reverse rank order.
-    6.  **Formatting for standard new post:** "Story [Rank] - [Article Title]. [Full/Truncated Article Text]. Comments Section. [Number] comments follow. Comment 1: [Text]. Comment 2: [Text]..."
-    7.  **Formatting for repeat post (update):** "Story [Rank] (previously Rank [OldRank] yesterday) - [Article Title]. We're bringing you new comments on this popular story. Comments Section. [Number] new comments follow. Comment 1: [Text]..."
-    8.  **Formatting for scrape-failed post:** "Story [Rank] - [Article Title]. We couldn't retrieve the full article, but here's a summary if available and the latest comments. [Optional HN Summary]. Comments Section. [Number] comments follow. Comment 1: [Text]..."
-    9.  **Article Truncation:** If `MAX_ARTICLE_LENGTH` (env var) is set and article exceeds, truncate by attempting to preserve beginning and end (or simpler first X / last Y characters for MVP).
-    10. Graceful handling for missing parts (e.g., "Article content not available," "0 comments follow") **must** be implemented.
-    11. Unit tests (Jest) **must** verify all formatting variations, truncation, data merging, and error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.6 (REVISED): Implement Podcast Generation Status Polling via Play.ai API**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, after submitting a podcast generation job to Play.ai and receiving a `jobId`, I need an AWS Step Function state machine to periodically poll the Play.ai API for the status of this specific job, continuing until the job is reported as "completed" or "failed" (or a configurable max duration/attempts limit is reached), so the system can reliably determine when the podcast audio is ready or if an error occurred.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  The AWS Step Function state machine (CDK defined in Story 2.1) **must** manage the polling workflow.
-    2.  Input: `jobId`.
-    3.  States: Invoke Poller Lambda (calls Play.ai status endpoint with `axios`), Wait (configurable `POLLING_INTERVAL_MINUTES`), Choice (evaluates status).
-    4.  Loop if status is "processing".
-    5.  Stop if "completed" or "failed".
-    6.  Max polling duration/attempts (configurable env vars `MAX_POLLING_DURATION_MINUTES`, `MAX_POLLING_ATTEMPTS`) **must** be enforced, treating expiry as failure.
-    7.  If "completed": extract `audioUrl`, trigger next step (Story 2.8 process) with data.
-    8.  If "failed"/"timeout": log event, record failure, terminate.
-    9.  Poller Lambda handles Play.ai API errors gracefully.
-    10. Unit tests for Poller Lambda; Step Function definition tested. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.7: Submit Content to Play.ai PlayNote API & Initiate Podcast Generation**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to securely submit the aggregated and formatted text content (using `sourceText`) to the play.ai PlayNote API via an `application/json` request to initiate the podcast generation process, and I must capture the `jobId` returned by Play.ai, so that this `jobId` can be passed to the status polling mechanism (Step Function).
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `playAiService.ts` function **must** handle submission.
-    2.  Input: formatted text (from Story 2.5).
-    3.  Use `axios` for `POST` to Play.ai endpoint (e.g., `https://api.play.ai/api/v1/playnotes`).
-    4.  Request `Content-Type: application/json`.
-    5.  JSON body: `sourceText`, and configurable `title`, `voiceId1`, `name1`, `voiceId2`, `name2`, `styleGuidance` (from env vars). *Developer to confirm exact field names per Play.ai JSON API for text input.*
-    6.  Headers: `Authorization: Bearer [TOKEN]`, `X-USER-ID: [API_KEY]` (from env vars `PLAY_AI_BEARER_TOKEN`, `PLAY_AI_USER_ID`).
-    7.  No `webHookUrl` sent.
-    8.  On success: extract `jobId`, log it, initiate polling Step Function (Story 2.6) with `jobId`.
-    9.  Error handling for API submission.
-    10. Unit tests (Jest) mock `axios`, verify API call, auth, payload, `jobId` extraction, Step Function initiation, error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.8: Retrieve, Store Generated Podcast Audio & Persist Episode Metadata**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, once the podcast generation status polling (Story 2.6) indicates a Play.ai job is "completed," I need to download the generated audio file from the provided `audioUrl`, store this file in our designated S3 bucket, and then save all relevant metadata for the episode (including the S3 audio location, `episodeNumber`, `podcastGeneratedTitle`, `playAiSourceAudioUrl`, and source information like `isUpdateStatus` for each HN story, and `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` for each HN post) into our DynamoDB table, so that the daily digest is fully processed, archived, and ready for access.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `podcastStorageService.ts` function **must** be triggered by Step Function (Story 2.6) on "completed" status, receiving `audioUrl`, Play.ai `jobId`, and original context (list of source HN posts with their processing statuses & metadata).
-    2.  Use `axios` to download audio from `audioUrl`.
-    3.  Upload audio to S3 bucket (from Story 2.1), using key (e.g., `YYYY/MM/DD/episodeId.mp3`).
-    4.  Prepare episode metadata: `episodeId` (UUID), `publicationDate` (YYYY-MM-DD), `episodeNumber` (sequential logic), `podcastGeneratedTitle` (from Play.ai or constructed), `audioS3Bucket`, `audioS3Key`, `playAiJobId`, `playAiSourceAudioUrl`, `sourceHNPosts` (array of objects: `{ hnPostId, title, originalArticleUrl, hnLink, isUpdateStatus, lastCommentFetchTimestamp, oldRank }`), `status: "Published"`, `createdAt`.
-    5.  The `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` for each processed `hnPostId` in `sourceHNPosts` **must** be set to the current time (or comment processing time) for future "new comments only" logic.
-    6.  Save metadata to `BmadDailyDigestEpisodes` DynamoDB table.
-    7.  Error handling for download, S3 upload, DDB write; failure sets episode status to "Failed".
-    8.  Unit tests (Jest) mock `axios`, AWS SDK (S3, DynamoDB); verify data handling, storage, metadata, errors. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.9: Daily Workflow Orchestration & Scheduling**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System Administrator, I need the entire daily backend workflow (Stories 2.2 through 2.8) to be fully orchestrated by the primary AWS Step Function state machine and automatically scheduled to run once per day using Amazon EventBridge Scheduler, ensuring it handles re-runs for the same day by overwriting/starting over (for MVP), so that "BMad Daily Digest" episodes are produced consistently and reliably.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  The primary AWS Step Function state machine **must** orchestrate the sequence: Call Lambdas/services for Fetch HN Posts (2.2), then for each post: Scrape Article (2.3) & Fetch Comments (2.4); then Aggregate & Format (2.5); then Submit to Play.ai (2.7 which returns `jobId`); then initiate Polling (2.6 using `jobId`); on "completed" polling, trigger Retrieve & Store Audio/Metadata (2.8).
-    2.  State machine **must** manage data flow between steps.
-    3.  Overall workflow error handling: critical step failure marks state machine execution as "Failed" and logs comprehensively. Individual steps use retries for transient errors.
-    4.  **Idempotency (MVP):** Re-running for the same `publicationDate` **must** re-process and overwrite previous data for that date.
-    5.  Amazon EventBridge Scheduler rule (CDK defined) **must** trigger the main Step Function daily at 12:00 UTC (default, configurable via `DAILY_JOB_SCHEDULE_UTC_CRON`).
-    6.  Successful end-to-end run **must** be demonstrated.
-    7.  Step Function execution history **must** provide a clear audit trail.
-    8.  Unit tests for any new orchestrator-specific Lambda functions. All tests **must** pass.

-# BMad Daily Digest Product Requirements Document (PRD)
-
-**Version:** 0.2
-**Date:** May 20, 2025
-**Author:** BMad Project Team (John - PM, Fred - Architect, Sarah - PO, User)
-
-## 1. Goal, Objective and Context
-
-* **Overall Goal:** To provide busy tech executives with a quick, daily audio digest of top Hacker News posts and discussions, enabling them to stay effortlessly informed.
-* **Project Objective (MVP Focus):** To successfully launch the "BMad Daily Digest" by:
-    * Automating the daily fetching of top 10 Hacker News posts (article metadata and comments via Algolia HN API) and scraping of linked article content.
-    * Processing this content into a structured format.
-    * Generating a 2-agent audio podcast using the play.ai PlayNote API.
-    * Delivering the podcast via a simple Next.js web application (polyrepo structure) with a list of episodes and detail pages including an audio player and links to source materials.
-    * Operating this process daily, aiming for delivery by a consistent morning hour.
-    * Adhering to a full TypeScript stack (Node.js 22 for backend), with a Next.js frontend, AWS Lambda backend, DynamoDB, S3, and AWS CDK for IaC, while aiming to stay within AWS free-tier limits where possible.
-* **Context/Problem Solved:** Busy tech executives lack the time to thoroughly read Hacker News daily but need to stay updated on key tech discussions, trends, and news for strategic insights. "BMad Daily Digest" solves this by offering a convenient, curated audio summary.
-
-## 2. Functional Requirements (MVP)
-
-**FR1: Content Acquisition**
-* The system **must** automatically fetch data for the top 10 (configurable) posts from Hacker News daily.
-* For each Hacker News post, the system **must** identify and retrieve:
-    * The URL of the linked article.
-    * Key metadata about the Hacker News post (e.g., title, HN link, score, author, HN Post ID).
-* The system **must** fetch comments for each identified Hacker News post using the Algolia HN Search API, with logic to handle new vs. repeat posts and scraping failures differently.
-* The system **must** attempt to scrape and extract the primary textual content from the linked article URL for each of the top posts (unless it's a repeat post where only new comments are needed).
-    * This process should aim to isolate the main article body.
-    * If scraping fails, a fallback using HN title, summary (if available), and increased comments **must** be used.
-
-**FR2: Content Processing and Formatting**
-* The system **must** aggregate the extracted/fallback article content and selected comments for the top 10 posts.
-* The system **must** process and structure the aggregated text content into a single text file suitable for submission to the play.ai PlayNote API.
-    * The text file **must** begin with an introductory sentence: "It's a top 10 countdown for [Today'sDate]".
-    * Content **must** be structured sequentially (e.g., "Story 10 - [details]..."), with special phrasing for repeat posts or posts where article scraping failed.
-    * Article content may be truncated if `MAX_ARTICLE_LENGTH` (environment variable) is set, aiming to preserve intro/conclusion where possible.
-
-**FR3: Podcast Generation**
-* The system **must** submit the formatted text content to the play.ai PlayNote API daily using specified voice and style parameters (configurable via environment variables).
-* The system **must** capture the `jobId` from Play.ai and use a polling mechanism (e.g., AWS Step Functions) to check for job completion status.
-* Upon successful completion, the system **must** retrieve the generated audio podcast file from the Play.ai-provided URL.
-* The system **must** store the generated audio file (e.g., on S3) and its associated metadata (including episode number, generated title, S3 location, original Play.ai URL, source HN posts, and processing status) in DynamoDB.
-
-**FR4: Web Application Interface (MVP)**
-* The system **must** provide a web application (Next.js, "80s retro CRT terminal" theme with Tailwind CSS & shadcn/ui) with a **List Page** that:
-    * Displays a chronological list (newest first) of all generated "BMad Daily Digest" episodes, formatted as "Episode [EpisodeNumber]: [PublicationDate] - [PodcastTitle]".
-    * Allows users to navigate to a Detail Page for each episode.
-* The system **must** provide a web application with a **Detail Page** for each episode that:
-    * Displays the `podcastGeneratedTitle`, `publicationDate`, and `episodeNumber`.
-    * Includes an embedded HTML5 audio player for the podcast.
-    * Lists the individual Hacker News stories included, with direct links to the original source article and the Hacker News discussion page.
-* The system **must** provide a minimalist **About Page**.
-* The web application **must** be responsive.
-
-**FR5: Automation and Scheduling**
-* The entire end-to-end backend process **must** be orchestrated (preferably via AWS Step Functions) and automated to run daily, triggered by Amazon EventBridge Scheduler (default 12:00 UTC, configurable).
-* For MVP, a re-run of the daily job for the same day **must** overwrite/start over previous data for that day.
-
-## 3. Non-Functional Requirements (MVP)
-
-**a. Performance:**
-* **Podcast Generation Time:** The daily process should complete in a timely manner (e.g., target by 8 AM CST/12:00-13:00 UTC, specific completion window TBD based on Play.ai processing).
-* **Web Application Load Time:** Pages on the Next.js app should aim for fast load times (e.g., target under 3-5 seconds).
-
-**b. Reliability / Availability:**
-* **Daily Process Success Rate:** Target >95% success rate for automated podcast generation without manual intervention.
-* **Web Application Uptime:** Target 99.5%+ uptime.
-
-**c. Maintainability:**
-* **Code Quality:** Code **must** be well-documented. Internal code comments **should** be used when logic isn't clear from names. All functions **must** have JSDoc-style outer comments. Adherence to defined coding standards (ESLint, Prettier).
-* **Configuration Management:** System configurations and secrets **must** be managed via environment variables (`.env` locally, Lambda environment variables when deployed), set manually for MVP.
-
-**d. Usability (Web Application):**
-* The web application **must** be intuitive for busy tech executives.
-* The audio player **must** be simple and reliable.
-* Accessibility: Standard MVP considerations, with particular attention to contrast for the "glowing green on dark" theme, good keyboard navigation, and basic screen reader compatibility.
-
-**e. Security (MVP Focus):**
-* **API Key Management:** Keys for Algolia, Play.ai, AWS **must** be stored securely (gitignored `.env` files locally, Lambda environment variables in AWS), not hardcoded.
-* **Data Handling:** Scraped content handled responsibly.
-
-**f. Cost Efficiency:**
-* AWS service usage **must** aim to stay within free-tier limits where feasible. Play.ai usage is via existing user subscription.
-
-## 4. User Interaction and Design Goals
-
-**a. Overall Vision & Experience:**
-* **Look and Feel:** Dark mode UI, "glowing green ASCII/text on a black background" aesthetic (CRT terminal style), "80s retro everything" theme.
-* **UI Component Toolkit:** Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui, customized for the theme. Initial structure/components kickstarted by an AI UI generation tool (using the `bmad-daily-digest-ui` V0 scaffold as a base).
-* **User Experience:** Highly efficient, clear navigation, no clutter, prioritizing content readability for busy tech executives.
-
-**b. Key Interaction Paradigms (MVP):**
-* View list of digests (reverse chronological), select one for details. No sorting/filtering on list page for MVP.
-
-**c. Core Screens/Views (MVP):**
-* **List Page:** Episodes ("Episode [N]: [Date] - [PodcastTitle]").
-* **Detail Page:** Episode details, HTML5 audio player, list of source HN stories with links to articles and HN discussions.
-* **About Page:** Minimalist, explaining the service, consistent theme.
-
-**d. Accessibility Aspirations (MVP):**
-* Standard considerations: good contrast (critical for theme), keyboard navigation, basic screen reader compatibility.
-
-**e. Branding Considerations (High-Level):**
-* "80s retro everything" theme is central. Logo/typeface should complement this (e.g., pixel art, retro fonts).
-
-**f. Target Devices/Platforms:**
-* Responsive web application, good UX on desktop and mobile.
-
-## 5. Technical Assumptions
-

----
-**Epic 2: Automated Content Ingestion & Podcast Generation Pipeline**
-
-**Goal:** To implement the complete automated daily workflow within the backend. This includes fetching Hacker News post data, scraping and extracting content from linked external articles, aggregating and formatting text, submitting it to Play.ai, managing job status via polling, and retrieving/storing the final audio file and associated metadata. This epic delivers the core value proposition of generating the daily audio content and making it ready for consumption via an API.
-
-**User Stories for Epic 2:**
-
-**Story 2.1: AWS CDK Extension for Epic 2 Resources**
-* **User Story Statement:** As a Developer, I need to extend the existing AWS CDK stack within the `bmad-daily-digest-backend` project to define and provision all new AWS resources required for the content ingestion and podcast generation pipeline—including the `BmadDailyDigestEpisodes` DynamoDB table (with GSI), the `HackerNewsPostProcessState` DynamoDB table, an S3 bucket for audio storage, and the AWS Step Functions state machine for orchestrating the Play.ai job status polling—so that all backend infrastructure for this epic is managed as code and ready for the application logic.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  The existing AWS CDK application (from Epic 1) **must** be extended.
-    2.  The `BmadDailyDigestEpisodes` DynamoDB table resource **must** be defined in CDK as specified in the System Architecture Document's "Data Models" section (with `episodeId` PK, key attributes like `publicationDate`, `episodeNumber`, `podcastGeneratedTitle`, `audioS3Key`, `audioS3Bucket`, `playAiJobId`, `playAiSourceAudioUrl`, `sourceHNPosts` list, `status`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`), including a GSI for chronological sorting (e.g., PK `status`, SK `publicationDate`), and PAY_PER_REQUEST billing.
-    3.  The `HackerNewsPostProcessState` DynamoDB table resource **must** be defined in CDK as specified in the System Architecture Document's "Data Models" section (with `hnPostId` PK and attributes like `lastCommentFetchTimestamp`, `lastSuccessfullyScrapedTimestamp`, `lastKnownRank`), and PAY_PER_REQUEST billing.
-    4.  An S3 bucket resource (e.g., `bmad-daily-digest-audio-{unique-suffix}`) **must** be defined via CDK for audio storage, with private access by default.
-    5.  An AWS Step Functions state machine resource **must** be defined via CDK to manage the Play.ai job status polling workflow (as detailed in Story 2.6).
-    6.  Necessary IAM roles and permissions for Lambda functions within this epic to interact with DynamoDB, S3, Step Functions, CloudWatch Logs **must** be defined via CDK, adhering to least privilege.
-    7.  The updated CDK stack **must** synthesize (`cdk synth`) and deploy (`cdk deploy`) successfully.
-    8.  All new CDK code **must** adhere to project ESLint/Prettier standards.
-
-**Story 2.2: Fetch Top Hacker News Posts & Identify Repeats**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to reliably fetch the top N (configurable, e.g., 10) current Hacker News posts daily using the Algolia HN API, including their essential metadata. I also need to identify if each fetched post has been processed in a recent digest by checking against the `HackerNewsPostProcessState` table, so that I have an accurate list of stories and their status (new or repeat) to begin generating the daily digest.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `hackerNewsService.ts` function **must** fetch top N HN posts (stories only) via `axios` from Algolia API (configurable `HN_POSTS_COUNT`).
-    2.  Extracted metadata per post: Title, Article URL, HN Post URL, HN Post ID (`objectID`), Author, Points, Creation timestamp.
-    3.  For each post, the function **must** query the `HackerNewsPostProcessState` DynamoDB table to determine its `isUpdateStatus` (true if `lastSuccessfullyScrapedTimestamp` and `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` indicate prior full processing) and retrieve `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` and `lastKnownRank` if available.
-    4.  Function **must** return an array of HN post objects with metadata, `isUpdateStatus`, `lastCommentFetchTimestamp`, and `lastKnownRank`.
-    5.  Error handling for Algolia/DynamoDB calls **must** be implemented and logged.
-    6.  Unit tests (Jest) **must** verify API calls, data extraction, repeat identification (mocked DDB), and error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.3: Article Content Scraping & Extraction (Conditional)**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, for each Hacker News post identified as *new* (or for which article scraping previously failed and is being retried), I need to robustly fetch its HTML content from the linked article URL and extract the primary textual content and title using libraries like Cheerio and Mozilla Readability. If scraping fails, a fallback mechanism must be triggered.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  An `articleScraperService.ts` function **must** accept an article URL and `isUpdateStatus`.
-    2.  If `isUpdateStatus` is true (article already successfully scraped and stored, though we are not storing full articles long term - this implies we have the article data available from a previous step if it's a repeat post where we don't re-scrape), scraping **must** be skipped. (For MVP, if it's a repeat post, we assume we don't need to re-scrape the article itself, only comments, as per user feedback. This story focuses on *new* scrapes or retries of failed scrapes).
-    3.  If a new scrape is needed: use `axios` (timeout, User-Agent) to fetch HTML.
-    4.  Use `Mozilla Readability` (JS port) and/or `Cheerio` to extract main article text and title.
-    5.  Return `{ success: true, title: string, content: string }` on success.
-    6.  If scraping fails: log failure, return `{ success: false, error: string, fallbackNeeded: true }`.
-    7.  No specific "polite" inter-article scraping delays for MVP.
-    8.  Unit tests (Jest) **must** mock `axios`, test successful extraction, skip logic for non-applicable cases, and failure/fallback scenarios. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.4: Fetch Hacker News Comments (Conditional Logic)**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to fetch comments for each selected Hacker News post using the Algolia HN API, adjusting the strategy to fetch up to N comments for new posts, only new comments since last fetch for repeat posts, or up to 3N comments if article scraping failed.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  `hackerNewsService.ts` **must** be extended to fetch comments for an HN Post ID, accepting `isUpdateStatus`, `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` (from `HackerNewsPostProcessState`), and `articleScrapingFailed` flags.
-    2.  Use `axios` to call Algolia HN API item endpoint.
-    3.  **Comment Fetching Logic:**
-        * If `articleScrapingFailed`: Fetch up to 3 * `HN_COMMENTS_COUNT_PER_POST` available comments.
-        * If `isUpdateStatus`: Fetch all comments, then filter client-side for comments with `created_at_i` > `lastCommentFetchTimestamp`. Select up to `HN_COMMENTS_COUNT_PER_POST` of these *new* comments.
-        * Else (new post, successful scrape): Fetch up to `HN_COMMENTS_COUNT_PER_POST`.
-    4.  For selected comments, extract plain text (HTML stripped), author, creation timestamp.
-    5.  Return array of comment objects; empty if none. An updated `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` (max `created_at_i` of fetched comments for this post) should be available for updating `HackerNewsPostProcessState`.
-    6.  Error handling and logging for API calls.
-    7.  Unit tests (Jest) **must** mock `axios` and verify all conditional fetching logic, comment selection/filtering, data extraction, and error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.5: Content Aggregation and Formatting for Play.ai**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to aggregate the collected Hacker News post data (titles), associated article content (full, truncated, or fallback summary), and comments (new, updated, or extended sets) for all top stories, and format this combined text according to the specified structure for the play.ai PlayNote API, including special phrasing for different post types (new, update, scrape-failed) and configurable article truncation.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `contentFormatterService.ts` **must** be implemented.
-    2.  Inputs: Array of processed HN post objects (with metadata, statuses, content, comments).
-    3.  Output: A single string.
-    4.  String starts: "It's a top 10 countdown for [Current Date]".
-    5.  Posts sequenced in reverse rank order.
-    6.  **Formatting (new post):** "Story [Rank] - [Article Title]. [Full/Truncated Article Text]. Comments Section. [Number] comments follow. Comment 1: [Text]..."
-    7.  **Formatting (repeat post):** "Story [Rank] (previously Rank [OldRank] yesterday) - [Article Title]. We're bringing you new comments on this popular story. Comments Section. [Number] new comments follow. Comment 1: [Text]..."
-    8.  **Formatting (scrape-failed post):** "Story [Rank] - [Article Title]. We couldn't retrieve the full article, but here's a summary if available and the latest comments. [Optional HN Summary]. Comments Section. [Number] comments follow. Comment 1: [Text]..."
-    9.  **Article Truncation:** If `MAX_ARTICLE_LENGTH` (env var) set and article exceeds, truncate aiming to preserve intro/conclusion.
-    10. Graceful handling for missing parts.
-    11. Unit tests (Jest) verify all formatting, truncation, data merging, error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.6 (REVISED): Implement Podcast Generation Status Polling via Play.ai API**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, after submitting a podcast generation job to Play.ai and receiving a `jobId`, I need an AWS Step Function state machine to periodically poll the Play.ai API for the status of this specific job, continuing until the job is reported as "completed" or "failed" (or a configurable max duration/attempts limit is reached), so the system can reliably determine when the podcast audio is ready or if an error occurred.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  The AWS Step Function state machine (CDK defined in Story 2.1) **must** manage the polling workflow.
-    2.  Input: `jobId`.
-    3.  States: Invoke Poller Lambda (calls Play.ai status GET endpoint with `axios`), Wait (configurable `POLLING_INTERVAL_MINUTES`), Choice (evaluates status: "processing", "completed", "failed").
-    4.  Loop if "processing". Stop if "completed" or "failed".
-    5.  Max polling duration/attempts (configurable env vars `MAX_POLLING_DURATION_MINUTES`, `MAX_POLLING_ATTEMPTS`) **must** be enforced, treating expiry as failure.
-    6.  If "completed": extract `audioUrl`, trigger next step (Story 2.8 process) with data.
-    7.  If "failed"/"timeout": log event, record failure (e.g., update episode status in DDB via a Lambda), terminate.
-    8.  Poller Lambda handles API errors gracefully.
-    9.  Unit tests for Poller Lambda logic; Step Function definition tested (locally if possible, or via AWS console tests). All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.7: Submit Content to Play.ai PlayNote API & Initiate Podcast Generation**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, I need to securely submit the aggregated and formatted text content (using `sourceText`) to the play.ai PlayNote API via an `application/json` request to initiate the podcast generation process, and I must capture the `jobId` returned by Play.ai, so that this `jobId` can be passed to the status polling mechanism (Step Function).
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `playAiService.ts` function **must** handle submission.
-    2.  Input: formatted text (from Story 2.5).
-    3.  Use `axios` for `POST` to Play.ai endpoint (e.g., `https://api.play.ai/api/v1/playnotes`).
-    4.  Request `Content-Type: application/json`.
-    5.  JSON body: `sourceText`, and configurable `title`, `voiceId1`, `name1` (default "Angelo"), `voiceId2`, `name2` (default "Deedee"), `styleGuidance` (default "podcast") from env vars.
-    6.  Headers: `Authorization: Bearer <PLAY_AI_BEARER_TOKEN>`, `X-USER-ID: <PLAY_AI_USER_ID>` (from env vars).
-    7.  No `webHookUrl` sent.
-    8.  On success: extract `jobId`, log it, initiate polling Step Function (Story 2.6) with `jobId` and other context (like internal `episodeId`).
-    9.  Error handling for API submission; log and flag failure.
-    10. Unit tests (Jest) mock `axios`, verify API call, auth, payload, `jobId` extraction, Step Function initiation (mocked), error handling. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.8: Retrieve, Store Generated Podcast Audio & Persist Episode Metadata**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System, once the podcast generation status polling (Story 2.6) indicates a Play.ai job is "completed," I need to download the generated audio file from the provided `audioUrl`, store this file in our designated S3 bucket, and then save/update all relevant metadata for the episode (including S3 audio location, `episodeNumber`, `podcastGeneratedTitle`, `playAiSourceAudioUrl`, and source HN post information including their `lastCommentFetchTimestamp`) into our DynamoDB tables (`BmadDailyDigestEpisodes` and `HackerNewsPostProcessState`), so that the daily digest is fully processed, archived, and ready for access.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  A `podcastStorageService.ts` function **must** be triggered by Step Function (Story 2.6) on "completed" status, receiving `audioUrl`, Play.ai `jobId`, and original context (like internal `episodeId`, list of source HN posts with their metadata and processing status).
-    2.  Use `axios` to download audio from `audioUrl`.
-    3.  Upload audio to S3 bucket (from Story 2.1), using key (e.g., `YYYY/MM/DD/episodeId.mp3`).
-    4.  Prepare `Episode` metadata for `BmadDailyDigestEpisodes` table: `episodeId` (UUID), `publicationDate` (YYYY-MM-DD), `episodeNumber` (sequential logic, TBD), `podcastGeneratedTitle` (from Play.ai or constructed), `audioS3Bucket`, `audioS3Key`, `playAiJobId`, `playAiSourceAudioUrl`, `sourceHNPosts` (array of objects: `{ hnPostId, title, originalArticleUrl, hnLink, isUpdateStatus, oldRank, articleScrapingFailed }`), `status: "Published"`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`.
-    5.  For each `hnPostId` in `sourceHNPosts`, update its corresponding item in the `HackerNewsPostProcessState` table with the `lastCommentFetchTimestamp` (current time or max comment time from this run), `lastProcessedDate` (current date), and `lastKnownRank`. If `articleScrapingFailed` was false for this run, update `lastSuccessfullyScrapedTimestamp`.
-    6.  Save `Episode` metadata to `BmadDailyDigestEpisodes` DynamoDB table.
-    7.  Error handling for download, S3 upload, DDB writes; failure should result in episode `status: "Failed"`.
-    8.  Unit tests (Jest) mock `axios`, AWS SDK (S3, DynamoDB); verify data handling, storage, metadata construction for both tables, errors. All tests **must** pass.
-
-**Story 2.9: Daily Workflow Orchestration & Scheduling**
-* **User Story Statement:** As the System Administrator, I need the entire daily backend workflow (Stories 2.2 through 2.8) to be fully orchestrated by the primary AWS Step Function state machine and automatically scheduled to run once per day using Amazon EventBridge Scheduler, ensuring it handles re-runs for the same day by overwriting/starting over (for MVP), so that "BMad Daily Digest" episodes are produced consistently and reliably.
-* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
-    1.  The primary AWS Step Function state machine **must** orchestrate the sequence: Fetch HN Posts & Identify Repeats (2.2); For each post: conditionally Scrape Article (2.3) & Fetch Comments (2.4); then Aggregate & Format Content (2.5); then Submit to Play.ai & get `jobId` (2.7); then initiate/manage Polling (2.6 using `jobId`); on "completed" polling, trigger Retrieve & Store Audio/Metadata (2.8).
-    2.  State machine **must** manage data flow (inputs/outputs) between steps correctly.
-    3.  Overall workflow error handling: critical step failure marks state machine execution as "Failed" and logs comprehensively. Steps use retries for transient errors.
-    4.  **Idempotency (MVP):** Re-running for the same `publicationDate` **must** re-process and effectively overwrite previous data for that date.
-    5.  Amazon EventBridge Scheduler rule (CDK defined) **must** trigger the main Step Function daily at 12:00 UTC (default, configurable via `DAILY_JOB_SCHEDULE_UTC_CRON`).
-    6.  Successful end-to-end run **must** be demonstrated (e.g., processing sample data through the pipeline).
-    7.  Step Function execution history **must** provide a clear audit trail of steps and data.
-    8.  Unit tests for any new orchestrator-specific Lambda functions (if any not covered). All tests **must** pass.

-# Project Brief: BMad Daily Digest
-
-## 1. Introduction / Problem Statement
-
-- **The Core Idea is**: To create a daily podcast, "BMad Daily Digest," by scraping top Hacker News posts and their comments, then using an AI service (play.ai PlayNote) to generate an audio summary with two speakers.
-- **The Problem Being Solved is**: Busy professionals, especially in the tech world, find it hard to keep up with important discussions and news on platforms like Hacker News due to time constraints. They need a quick, digestible audio format to stay informed.
-
-## 2. Vision & Goals
-
-- **a. Vision**: To become the go-to daily audio source for busy professionals seeking to stay effortlessly informed on the most relevant and engaging discussions from Hacker News.
-- **b. Primary Goals (for MVP)**:
-  1.  Successfully scrape the top 10 Hacker News posts (articles and comments) and generate a coherent text file suitable for the play.ai API daily.
-  2.  Reliably submit the generated text to play.ai PlayNote and receive a 2-agent audio podcast daily.
-  3.  Ensure the produced podcast is easily accessible to a pilot group of users (e.g., via a simple download link or a basic podcast feed).
-  4.  Deliver the daily digest by a consistent time each morning (e.g., by 8 AM local time).
-- **c. Success Metrics (Initial Ideas)**:
-  - Content Accuracy: X% of generated summaries accurately reflect the core topics of the Hacker News posts.
-  - Production Reliability: Successfully produce a podcast on X out of Y days (e.g., 95% uptime).
-  - User Feedback (Qualitative): Positive feedback from a small group of initial listeners regarding clarity, usefulness, and audio quality.
-  - Listenership (Small Scale): Number of downloads/listens by the pilot user group.
-
-## 3. Target Audience / Users
-
-- **Primary Users**: Busy tech executives (e.g., VPs, Directors, C-suite in technology companies).
-- **Characteristics**:
-  - Extremely time-poor with demanding schedules.
-  - Need to stay informed about technology trends, competitor moves, and industry sentiment for strategic decision-making.
-  - Likely consume content during commutes, short breaks, or while multitasking.
-  - Value high-signal, concise, and curated information.
-  - Familiar with Hacker News but lack the time for in-depth daily reading.
-
-## 4. Key Features / Scope (High-Level Ideas for MVP)
-
-1.  **Hacker News Scraper:**
-    - Automatically fetches the top X (e.g., 10) posts from Hacker News daily.
-    - Extracts the main article content/summary for each post.
-    - Extracts a selection of top/relevant comments for each post.
-2.  **Content Aggregator & Formatter:**
-    - Combines the scraped article content and comments into a single, structured text file.
-    - Formats the text in a way that's optimal for the play.ai PlayNote API.
-3.  **AI Podcast Generation:**
-    - Submits the formatted text file to the play.ai PlayNote API.
-    - Retrieves the generated audio file.
-4.  **Basic Web Application (for MVP delivery):**
-    - **List Page:** Displays a chronological list of daily "BMad Daily Digest" episodes.
-    - **Detail Page (per episode):**
-      - Shows the list of individual Hacker News stories included in that day's digest.
-      - Provides direct links to the original Hacker News post for each story.
-      - Provides direct links to the source article for each story.
-      - Embeds an audio player to play the generated podcast for that day.
-5.  **Scheduling/Automation:**
-    - The entire backend process (scrape, format, generate podcast, update application data) runs automatically on a daily schedule.
-
-## 5. Post MVP Features / Scope and Ideas
-
-After the successful launch and validation of the MVP, "BMad Daily Digest" could be enhanced with the following features:
-
-- **Daily Email Summary:**
-  - Generate an email brief from the summarized transcript of the podcast (which can also be sourced from PlayNote).
-  - Include a direct link to the day's podcast episode in the email.
-- **RSS Feed:**
-  - Provide a standard RSS feed, allowing users to subscribe to the "BMad Daily Digest" in their preferred podcast players.
-- **User Accounts & Personalization:**
-  - Allow users to create accounts.
-  - Enable email subscription management through accounts.
-  - Offer options to customize podcast hosts (e.g., select from different AI voices or styles available via play.ai).
-- **Expanded Content & Features:**
-  - Wider range of content sources (beyond Hacker News).
-  - Advanced audio features (selectable narrators if not covered by customization, variable playback speed within the app).
-  - Full podcast transcription available on the website.
-  - Search functionality within the app for past digests or stories.
-- **Community & Feedback:**
-  - In-app user feedback mechanisms (e.g., rating episodes, suggesting improvements).
-
-## 6. Known Technical Constraints or Preferences
-
-- **Development Approach Preference:**
-  - The full backend (scraping, content aggregation, podcast generation, data storage) is to be built and validated first.
-  - The frontend UI will be developed subsequently to interact with the established backend API.
-- **Technology Stack Preferences (Considered Solid by User):**
-  - **Frontend:** NextJS React, planned to be hosted on a static S3 site.
-  - **Backend Services:** AWS Lambda for compute, DynamoDB for storage.
-  - **Automation Trigger:** Daily execution via a cron job or a REST API call to trigger the Lambda function.
-- **Backend Language (Open for Discussion):**
-  - The user is open to using either Python or TypeScript for the backend, with a note that web scraping capabilities and ease of use with the Algolia API are factors in this decision. This choice will be finalized during more detailed technical planning.
-- **Data Source for Hacker News:**
-  - Utilize the Algolia Hacker News Search API (hn.algolia.com) for fetching posts and comments, as it's generally easier to work with than direct site scraping.
-- **Budget Constraints & API Usage:**
-  - **AWS Services:** Strong preference to operate services (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, etc.) within the limits of the AWS free tier where possible.
-  - **play.ai PlayNote API:** The user has an existing purchased subscription, so this service is an exception to the free-tier goal for other services.
-- **Timeline:** _(User has not specified a firm timeline for MVP at this stage of the brief)._
-- **Risks:**
-  - Dependency on Algolia HN API (availability, rate limits, potential changes).
-  - Consistency and quality of AI-generated audio from play.ai.
-  - Potential API changes or future costs associated with play.ai (beyond current subscription terms).
-  - Managing daily automated processing effectively.
-- **Other User Preferences:** _(User has not specified further preferences at this stage of the brief)._
-
-## 7. Relevant Research (Optional)
-
-- **Hacker News Data Acquisition:** The decision to use the Algolia Hacker News Search API (hn.algolia.com) is based on its known efficiency and ease of use for accessing posts and comments, which is preferable to direct website scraping.

-# BMad Daily Digest UI/UX Specification
-
-**Version:** 0.1
-**Date:** May 20, 2025
-**Author:** JaneAI
-
-## 1\. Introduction
-
-This document defines the user experience (UX) goals, information architecture (IA), user flows, and key visual/interaction specifications for the "BMad Daily Digest" web application's MVP. It builds upon the product vision and requirements outlined in the main PRD and will serve as a direct guide for frontend development. Our core aesthetic is an "80s retro CRT terminal" look and feel.
-
-  * **Primary Design Files:** For the MVP, detailed visual mockups in separate design files (e.g., Figma) are not planned. The UI design will be directly derived from the specifications within this document, the "User Interaction and Design Goals" section of the PRD, and the established "80s retro CRT terminal" theme using Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui.
-  * **Deployed Storybook / Design System:** A Storybook or formal design system is not an initial deliverable for the MVP. Components will be built and styled directly within the Next.js application using shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS according to the defined aesthetic. This may evolve post-MVP.
-
-## 2\. Overall UX Goals & Principles
-
-This section draws from the "Target Audience / Users" and "User Interaction and Design Goals" defined in the PRD.
-
-**a. Target User Personas:**
-
-  * **Primary Persona:** The "Busy Tech Executive."
-      * **Description (from PRD):** Extremely time-poor individuals (e.g., VPs, Directors, C-suite in technology companies) with demanding schedules.
-      * **Needs & Motivations:**
-          * Need to stay informed about technology trends, competitor moves, and industry sentiment for strategic decision-making.
-          * Value high-signal, concise, and curated information.
-          * Familiar with Hacker News but lack the time for in-depth daily reading.
-          * Likely consume content during commutes, short breaks, or while multitasking, making audio a good fit.
-      * **Key UX Considerations for this Persona:** The interface must be extremely efficient, quick to scan, with no learning curve and immediate access to content.
-
-**b. Usability Goals (for MVP):**
-
-  * **Efficiency:** Users must be able to find and start listening to the latest digest with minimal clicks and time.
-  * **Clarity:** Information (episode lists, story links, player controls) must be presented clearly and unambiguously, especially given the stylized "CRT terminal" theme which requires careful attention to readability.
-  * **Discoverability:** Users should easily understand how to navigate between the episode list and detail pages, and how to access source articles/HN discussions.
-  * **Learnability:** The interface should be immediately intuitive, requiring no explanation for these tech-savvy users.
-
-**c. Design Principles:**
-
-1.  **Content First, Efficiency Always:** Prioritize quick access to the audio digest and associated information. Every UI element should serve a clear purpose towards this goal, minimizing clutter.
-2.  **Authentic Retro Tech Aesthetic:** Consistently apply the "80s retro CRT terminal" theme (dark mode, glowing green ASCII-style visuals) to create a unique and engaging experience, without sacrificing usability.
-3.  **Simplicity & Focus:** Keep the UI for the MVP focused on core tasks: finding an episode, playing it, and accessing source links. Avoid non-essential features or complex interactions.
-4.  **Readability within Theme:** While maintaining the retro aesthetic, ensure text is highly readable with sufficient contrast and appropriate "ASCII/bitmap-style" font choices (if used).
-5.  **Responsive & Accessible Foundation:** Design for responsiveness across desktop and mobile from the start, and ensure basic accessibility principles are met within the chosen theme.
-
-## 3\. Information Architecture (IA)
-
-This section outlines the overall organization and structure of the web application's content and features for the MVP.
-
-**a. Site Map / Screen Inventory (MVP):**
-For the MVP, we have identified the following core screens:
-
-```mermaid
-graph TD
-    A[Home / Episode List Page] --> B{Episode Detail Page};
-    A --> C[About Page];
-    B --> A;
-    C --> A;
-```
-
-  * **Home / Episode List Page (`/` or `/episodes`):** The main landing page, displaying a reverse chronological list of daily podcast episodes.
-  * **Episode Detail Page (`/episodes/{episodeId}`):** Displays the selected podcast episode, including the audio player, and links to source articles and Hacker News discussions.
-  * **About Page (`/about`):** Provides information about the "BMad Daily Digest" service.
-
-**b. Navigation Structure (MVP):**
-
-  * **Primary Navigation:**
-      * A simple, persistent header or footer navigation element should be present across all pages.
-      * This navigation **must** include clear links to:
-          * "Home" (or "Episodes" leading to the Episode List Page).
-          * "About" (leading to the About Page).
-      * The site title/logo (e.g., "BMad Daily Digest") in the header **should** also link to the Home/Episode List Page.
-  * **Content-Specific Navigation:**
-      * On the **Episode List Page**, each listed episode **must** function as a direct link to its respective **Episode Detail Page**.
-      * The **Episode Detail Page** will contain external links to source articles and Hacker News discussions, which **must** open in new browser tabs.
-  * **Theme Considerations:** All navigation elements (links, buttons if any) must conform to the "80s retro CRT terminal" aesthetic (e.g., styled as glowing text links).
-
-## 4\. User Flows
-
-This section details the primary paths users will take to interact with the "BMad Daily Digest" MVP.
-
-### a. User Flow 1: Consuming the Latest Digest
-
-  * **Goal:** The user wants to quickly find and listen to the most recent daily digest.
-
-  * **Steps / Diagram:**
-
-    ```mermaid
-    graph TD
-        A[User lands on Home/Episode List Page] --> B[Sees list of episodes, newest first];
-        B --> C[Clicks on the latest/topmost episode];
-        C --> D[Navigates to Episode Detail Page for that episode];
-        D --> E[Presses play on embedded audio player];
-        E --> F[Listens to podcast];
-        D --> G{Chooses to explore?};
-        G -- Yes --> H[Clicks a source article or HN discussion link];
-        H --> I[Link opens in new tab];
-        G -- No --> F;
-    ```
-
-### b. User Flow 2: Accessing an Older Digest
-
-  * **Goal:** The user wants to find and listen to a specific past episode.
-
-  * **Steps / Diagram:**
-
-    ```mermaid
-    graph TD
-        A[User lands on Home/Episode List Page] --> B[Scrolls/browses the list of episodes];
-        B --> C[Identifies and clicks on a desired older episode];
-        C --> D[Navigates to Episode Detail Page for that episode];
-        D --> E[Presses play on embedded audio player];
-        E --> F[Listens to podcast];
-    ```
-
-### c. User Flow 3: Learning About the Service
-
-  * **Goal:** The user wants to understand what "BMad Daily Digest" is.
-
-  * **Steps / Diagram:**
-
-    ```mermaid
-    graph TD
-        A[User is on any page of the application] --> B[Locates and clicks the "About" link in site navigation/footer];
-        B --> C[Navigates to the About Page];
-        C --> D[Reads information about the service];
-    ```
-
-## 5\. Wireframes & Mockups
-
-As established in the Introduction, for this streamlined MVP, detailed visual mockup files (e.g., in Figma) are not planned. The UI design and layout will be directly derived from the specifications within this document, the agreed-upon "80s retro CRT terminal" aesthetic, and will be kickstarted using an AI UI generation tool with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui.
-
-This section provides high-level conceptual descriptions of the key screen layouts to guide that process.
-
-**a. General Layout Principles:**
-
-  * **Theme:** All screens must consistently implement the "80s retro CRT terminal" aesthetic (dark mode, glowing green ASCII-style text/elements, potentially a subtle scanline effect or CRT curvature if achievable without sacrificing readability).
-  * **Typography:** Font choices should align with retro computing/ASCII art styles while ensuring high readability (specific fonts TBD, but likely monospaced or pixel-style for key elements).
-  * **Navigation:** A persistent, simple navigation area (e.g., a header or footer) will provide access to "Home/Episodes" and "About."
-
-**b. Screen Layout Descriptions (Conceptual):**
-
-**1. Home / Episode List Page (`/` or `/episodes`)**
-\* **Header:**
-\* Site Title/Logo (e.g., "BMad Daily Digest" styled in the retro theme). Clicking this navigates to this page.
-\* Navigation Links: "Episodes" (if not the home page itself), "About."
-\* **Main Content Area:**
-\* A clear heading like "Latest Digests" or "Episodes."
-\* A vertically stacked list of episodes, presented in reverse chronological order.
-\* Each list item will display: "Episode [EpisodeNumber]: [PublicationDate] - [PodcastTitle]" as a clickable link/element.
-\* If no episodes are available, a clear message like "No digests available yet. Tune in tomorrow\!" styled to fit the theme.
-\* Loading/error states will be displayed in this area as needed.
-\* **Footer (Optional):**
-\* Could repeat navigation links or contain a simple copyright/year.
-
-**2. Episode Detail Page (`/episodes/{episodeId}`)**
-\* **Header:** Consistent with the List Page.
-\* **Main Content Area:**
-\* Episode Identification: Display `PodcastGeneratedTitle`, `EpisodeNumber`, and `PublicationDate` prominently.
-\* **Audio Player:** An embedded HTML5 `<audio controls>` element, styled to fit the retro theme as much as possible. The `src` will be the podcast audio file.
-\* **Hacker News Stories Section:**
-\* A clear sub-heading like "Stories Covered in this Digest" or "Sources."
-\* A list of the individual Hacker News stories included in the podcast.
-\* For each story:
-\* Its title.
-\* A link to the "Original Article" (opens in new tab).
-\* A link to the "HN Discussion" (opens in new tab).
-\* These links should be clearly styled and distinguishable.
-\* Loading/error states for episode data will be displayed here.
-\* **Footer (Optional):** Consistent with the List Page.
-
-**3. About Page (`/about`)**
-\* **Header:** Consistent with other pages.
-\* **Main Content Area:**
-\* A clear heading like "About BMad Daily Digest."
-\* Static text content (Placeholder: "BMad Daily Digest provides a daily audio summary of top Hacker News discussions for busy tech professionals, generated using AI.") explaining the service, its purpose, and a high-level overview of how it's generated. The text itself should be styled in the retro theme.
-\* **Footer (Optional):** Consistent with other pages.
-
-## 6\. Component Library / Design System Reference
-
-For the "BMad Daily Digest" MVP, we will proceed as follows:
-
-  * **Foundation:** We will **not** be using a pre-existing external, comprehensive design system. Instead, we will be creating a unique, project-specific set of themed UI components.
-  * **Core Technologies:**
-      * **shadcn/ui:** This will be used as a base library of accessible and unstyled components. We will heavily customize these components.
-      * **Tailwind CSS:** This will be the primary utility-first CSS framework used for styling all components and achieving the "80s retro CRT terminal" aesthetic.
-  * **AI-Assisted Kickstart:** As per Story 3.1 in the PRD, an AI UI generation tool will be leveraged to kickstart the initial UI structure and some of the core presentational components. These AI-generated components will then be refined and extended.
-  * **No Formal Storybook for MVP:** A deployed Storybook or formal, isolated design system documentation is not a deliverable for the initial MVP. Components will be developed and documented within the Next.js application structure.
-
-**Foundational Components to Thematically Style for MVP:**
-
-The following foundational elements will need careful thematic styling to establish the "80s retro CRT terminal" look and feel:
-
-1.  **Text Rendering Components:** Headings, Body Text/Paragraphs, Links (all styled with glowing green ASCII/pixelated look).
-2.  **Layout Components:** Main Page Wrapper/Container, Header/Navigation Bar, Footer (if any).
-3.  **List Components:** Episode List Item, Source Story List Item.
-4.  **Interactive Elements:** Clickable Links/Navigation Items, Audio Player Container (styling around the native player).
-5.  **Messaging/Feedback Components:** Loading State Indicator, Error Message Display (themed).
-
-## 7\. Branding & Style Guide Reference
-
-This section outlines the core visual elements for the "80s retro CRT terminal" and "80s retro everything" themes.
-
-**a. Color Palette:**
-
-  * **Primary Background:** Very dark (e.g., near-black `#0A0A0A` or very dark charcoal/green `#051005`).
-  * **Primary Text/Foreground ("Glowing Green"):** Vibrant "phosphor" green (e.g., `#39FF14`, `#00FF00`). Must be tested for readability.
-  * **Accent/Secondary Text:** Dimmer or alternative shade of green (e.g., `#2A8D2A`).
-  * **Highlight/Interactive Hover/Focus:** Brighter green or primary green with a "glow" effect.
-  * **Feedback Colors (Error, Success, Warning - if needed for MVP):** Retro-styled amber/orange for errors (e.g., `#FF8C00`), primary green for success.
-
-**b. Typography:**
-
-  * **Primary Font Family:** Monospaced, pixelated, or classic computer-terminal style font (e.g., "VT323", "Press Start 2P", "Perfect DOS VGA", or a clean system monospaced font). High readability is paramount.
-  * **Font Sizes:** Simple typographic scale via Tailwind, suitable for the retro theme.
-  * **Font Weights:** Likely limited (normal, bold) depending on chosen retro font.
-  * **Letter Spacing/Line Height:** Adjusted to enhance CRT feel and readability.
-
-**c. Iconography (MVP):**
-
-  * **Style:** Minimalist, pixel-art style, or simple ASCII/text-based symbols.
-  * **Usage:** Sparse for MVP. Navigation might use ASCII arrows (e.g., `-> About`).
-
-**d. Spacing & Grid:**
-
-  * **Approach:** Managed via Tailwind CSS utility classes, adhering to a consistent spacing scale aiming for a slightly "blocky" or "grid-aligned" feel.
-
-## 8\. Accessibility (AX) Requirements
-
-The application must be usable by people with a wide range of abilities, striving to meet key principles of WCAG 2.1 Level AA for essential functionalities in the MVP.
-
-**a. Target Compliance (MVP):** Strive for WCAG 2.1 Level AA for key aspects.
-
-**b. Specific Requirements (MVP):**
-
-1.  **Contrast Ratios:** All text **must** meet WCAG AA contrast minimums (4.5:1 for normal, 3:1 for large), especially critical for the "glowing green on dark" theme.
-2.  **Keyboard Navigation:** All interactive elements **must** be focusable and operable via keyboard, with a logical focus order and clear, themed focus indicators.
-3.  **Screen Reader Compatibility:** Use semantic HTML. Core content **must** be understandable and operable with screen readers. ARIA attributes used judiciously for custom components (shadcn/ui helps).
-4.  **Resizable Text:** Users **should** be able to resize text up to 200% via browser zoom without loss of functionality or horizontal scrolling.
-5.  **Images (if any):** Meaningful images **must** have appropriate `alt` text.
-6.  **Understandable Link Text:** Link text **should** clearly describe its destination or purpose.
-
-## 9\. Responsiveness
-
-The web application must provide a seamless experience across devices, maintaining the "80s retro CRT terminal" aesthetic.
-
-**a. Breakpoints (Leveraging Tailwind CSS Defaults as a Start):**
-
-  * `sm`: 640px, `md`: 768px, `lg`: 1024px, `xl`: 1280px, `2xl`: 1536px. (Defaults expected to be sufficient for MVP).
-
-**b. Adaptation Strategy:**
-
-1.  **Layout:** Single-column on smaller screens (`sm` and below). Potential for multi-column on wider screens if appropriate, but simplicity prioritized.
-2.  **Navigation:** Must remain accessible. May collapse to a themed "hamburger" menu or simplified icons on smaller screens if header becomes crowded.
-3.  **Typography & Spacing:** Adapt via Tailwind responsive utilities to ensure readability.
-4.  **Interactive Elements:** Adequate touch target sizes on mobile.
-5.  **Content Prioritization:** Core content always prioritized and accessible.
-

-# V0.dev Prompt for BMad Daily Digest
-
-**"BMad Daily Digest" MVP UI**
-
-**Overall Project & Theme:**
-
-"Create a 3-page responsive web application called 'BMad Daily Digest' using Next.js (App Router), React, Tailwind CSS, and aiming for shadcn/ui compatible component structures where possible.
-
-The entire application must have a strong '80s retro CRT terminal' aesthetic. This means:
-* **Overall Dark Mode:** Use a near-black background (e.g., #0A0A0A or a very dark desaturated green like #051005).
-* **Primary Text Color:** A vibrant, "glowing" phosphor green (e.g., #39FF14 or #00FF00). This should be the main color for text, active links, and key interface elements.
-* **Secondary Text Color:** A dimmer or slightly desaturated green for less emphasized text.
-* **Font:** Use a monospaced, pixelated, or classic computer terminal-style font throughout the application (e.g., VT323, Press Start 2P for headings, or a highly readable system monospaced font like Consolas or Menlo for body copy if specific retro fonts prove hard to read for longer text). Prioritize readability within the theme.
-* **Visual Style:** Think minimalist, text-heavy, with sharp edges. Subtle effects like faint scanlines or a very slight screen curvature are a bonus if they don't clutter the UI or impact performance, but not essential for the first pass. No modern rounded corners or gradients unless they specifically enhance the retro terminal feel (e.g., a subtle glow).
-* **Interactions:** Links and interactive elements should have a clear hover/focus state, perhaps a brighter green or a block cursor effect, fitting the terminal theme.
-
-The application needs to be responsive, adapting to single-column layouts on mobile."
-
-**Shared Elements:**
-
-"1.  **Main Layout Wrapper:** A full-screen component that establishes the dark background and CRT theme for all pages.
-2.  **Header Component:**
-    * Displays the site title 'BMad Daily Digest' in the primary glowing green, styled prominently (perhaps with a slightly larger or more distinct retro font). Clicking the title should navigate to the Home/Episode List page.
-    * Contains simple text-based navigation links: 'Episodes' (links to home/list) and 'About'. These links should also use the glowing green text style and have clear hover/focus states.
-    * The header should be responsive; on smaller screens, if navigation links become crowded, they can stack or be accessible via a simple themed menu icon (e.g., an ASCII-art style hamburger `☰`).
-3.  **Footer Component (Optional, Minimalist):**
-    * If included, a very simple text-based footer with a copyright notice (e.g., '© 2025 BMad Daily Digest') and perhaps repeat navigation links ('Episodes', 'About'), styled minimally in the secondary green text color."
-
-**Page 1: Home / Episode List Page (Default Route `/`)**
-
-"This page lists the daily podcast episodes.
-* It should use the shared Header and Footer (if applicable).
-* Below the header, display a clear heading like 'LATEST DIGESTS' or 'EPISODE LOG' in the primary glowing green.
-* The main content area should display a reverse chronological list of podcast episodes.
-* Each episode in the list should be a clickable item/card that navigates to its specific Episode Detail Page (e.g., `/episodes/[id]`).
-* The display format for each list item should be: 'EPISODE [EpisodeNumber]: [PublicationDate] - [PodcastGeneratedTitle]'. For example: 'EPISODE 042: 2025-05-20 - Tech Highlights & Discussions'.
-    * `[EpisodeNumber]` is a number.
-    * `[PublicationDate]` is a date string (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD).
-    * `[PodcastGeneratedTitle]` is the title of the podcast for that day.
-* The list items should have a clear visual separation and a hover/focus state.
-* If there are no episodes, display a message like 'NO DIGESTS AVAILABLE. CHECK BACK TOMORROW.' in the themed style.
-* Include a themed loading state (e.g., 'LOADING EPISODES...') to be shown while data is being fetched.
-* Include a themed error state (e.g., 'ERROR: COULD NOT LOAD EPISODES.') if data fetching fails."
-
-**Page 2: Episode Detail Page (Dynamic Route, e.g., `/episodes/[episodeId]`)**
-
-"This page displays the details for a single selected podcast episode.
-* It should use the shared Header and Footer (if applicable).
-* Prominently display the `PodcastGeneratedTitle`, `EpisodeNumber`, and `PublicationDate` of the current episode at the top of the main content area, styled in the primary glowing green.
-* Below this, embed a standard HTML5 audio player (`<audio controls>`). The player itself will likely have default browser styling, but ensure the container or area around it fits the overall dark retro theme. The `src` for the audio will be dynamic.
-* Below the audio player, include a section with a clear heading like 'STORIES COVERED IN THIS DIGEST' or 'SOURCE LOG'.
-* Under this heading, display a list of the Hacker News stories that were included in this podcast episode.
-* For each story in this list, display:
-    * Its title (as plain text).
-    * A clearly labeled link: 'Read Article' (linking to the original source article URL, should open in a new tab).
-    * A clearly labeled link: 'HN Discussion' (linking to its Hacker News discussion page URL, should open in a new tab).
-    * These links should be styled according to the theme (glowing green, clear hover/focus).
-* Include themed loading and error states for fetching episode details."
-
-**Page 3: About Page (Static Route, e.g., `/about`)**
-
-"This page provides information about the 'BMad Daily Digest' service.
-* It should use the shared Header and Footer (if applicable).
-* Display a clear heading like 'ABOUT BMAD DAILY DIGEST'.
-* The main content area should display static informational text. For placeholder text, use: 'BMad Daily Digest provides a daily audio summary of top Hacker News discussions for busy tech professionals, generated using AI. Our mission is to keep you informed, efficiently. All content is curated and processed to deliver key insights in an easily digestible audio format, presented with a unique retro-tech vibe.'
-* All text and headings should adhere to the '80s retro CRT terminal' theme."
-
----
-
-**Key Instructions for V0:**
-* Prioritize the "80s retro CRT terminal" aesthetic in all generated components: dark background, glowing green text, monospaced/pixel fonts.
-* Use Tailwind CSS for all styling.
-* Generate React components using TypeScript for a Next.js (App Router) application.
-* Ensure layouts are responsive and adapt to a single column on mobile.
-* Focus on clean, readable code structure for the generated components.
-* The HTML5 audio player controls will likely be browser default, but any surrounding elements should be themed.
-* Links for "Read Article" and "HN Discussion" must be distinct and clearly indicate they are external links that open in new tabs.

+# Bundle Distribution Setup (For Maintainers)
+
+**Audience:** BMAD maintainers setting up bundle auto-publishing
+
+---
+
+## One-Time Setup
+
+Run these commands once to enable auto-publishing:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create bmad-bundles repo
+gh repo create bmad-code-org/bmad-bundles --public --description "BMAD Web Bundles"
+
+# 2. Ensure `main` exists (GitHub Pages API requires a source branch)
+git clone git@github.com:bmad-code-org/bmad-bundles.git
+cd bmad-bundles
+printf '# bmad-bundles\n\nStatic bundles published from BMAD-METHOD.\n' > README.md
+git add README.md
+git commit -m "Initial commit"
+git push origin main
+cd -
+
+# 3. Enable GitHub Pages (API replacement for removed --enable-pages flag)
+gh api repos/bmad-code-org/bmad-bundles/pages --method POST -f source[branch]=main -f source[path]=/
+# (Optional) confirm status
+gh api repos/bmad-code-org/bmad-bundles/pages --jq '{status,source}'
+
+# 4. Create GitHub PAT and add as secret
+# Go to: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new
+# Scopes: repo (full control)
+# Name: bmad-bundles-ci
+# Then add as secret:
+gh secret set BUNDLES_PAT --repo bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD
+# (paste PAT when prompted)
+```
+
+If the Pages POST returns `409`, the site already exists. If it returns `422` about `main` missing, redo step 2 to push the initial commit.
+
+**Done.** Bundles auto-publish on every main merge.
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+**On main merge:**
+
+- `.github/workflows/bundle-latest.yaml` runs
+- Publishes to: `https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-bundles/`
+
+**On release:**
+
+- `npm run release:patch` runs `.github/workflows/manual-release.yaml`
+- Attaches bundles to: `https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/releases/latest`
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Test latest channel
+git push origin main
+# Wait 2 min, then: curl https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-bundles/
+
+# Test stable channel
+npm run release:patch
+# Check: gh release view
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Permission denied" or auth errors**
+
+```bash
+# Verify PAT secret exists
+gh secret list --repo bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD | grep BUNDLES_PAT
+
+# If missing, recreate PAT and add secret:
+gh secret set BUNDLES_PAT --repo bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD
+```
+
+**GitHub Pages not updating / need to re-check config**
+
+```bash
+gh api repos/bmad-code-org/bmad-bundles/pages --jq '{status,source,html_url}'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Distribution URLs
+
+**Stable:** `https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/releases/latest`
+**Latest:** `https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-bundles/`

+# Agent Customization Guide
+
+Customize BMad agents without modifying core files. All customizations persist through updates.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+**1. Locate Customization Files**
+
+After installation, find agent customization files in:
+
+```
+_bmad/_config/agents/
+├── core-bmad-master.customize.yaml
+├── bmm-dev.customize.yaml
+├── bmm-pm.customize.yaml
+└── ... (one file per installed agent)
+```
+
+**2. Edit Any Agent**
+
+Open the `.customize.yaml` file for the agent you want to modify. All sections are optional - customize only what you need.
+
+**3. Rebuild the Agent**
+
+After editing, IT IS CRITICAL to rebuild the agent to apply changes:
+
+```bash
+npx bmad-method@alpha install # and then select option to compile all agents
+# OR for individual agent only
+npx bmad-method@alpha build <agent-name>
+
+# Examples:
+npx bmad-method@alpha build bmm-dev
+npx bmad-method@alpha build core-bmad-master
+npx bmad-method@alpha build bmm-pm
+```
+
+## What You Can Customize
+
+### Agent Name
+
+Change how the agent introduces itself:
+
+```yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    name: 'Spongebob' # Default: "Amelia"
+```
+
+### Persona
+
+Replace the agent's personality, role, and communication style:
+
+```yaml
+persona:
+  role: 'Senior Full-Stack Engineer'
+  identity: 'Lives in a pineapple (under the sea)'
+  communication_style: 'Spongebob'
+  principles:
+    - 'Never Nester, Spongebob Devs hate nesting more than 2 levels deep'
+    - 'Favor composition over inheritance'
+```
+
+**Note:** The persona section replaces the entire default persona (not merged).
+
+### Memories
+
+Add persistent context the agent will always remember:
+
+```yaml
+memories:
+  - 'Works at Krusty Krab'
+  - 'Favorite Celebrity: David Hasslehoff'
+  - 'Learned in Epic 1 that its not cool to just pretend that tests have passed'
+```
+
+### Custom Menu Items
+
+Add your own workflows to the agent's menu:
+
+```yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: my-workflow
+    workflow: '{project-root}/custom/my-workflow.yaml'
+    description: My custom workflow
+  - trigger: deploy
+    action: '#deploy-prompt'
+    description: Deploy to production
+```
+
+**Don't include:** `*` prefix or `help`/`exit` items - these are auto-injected.
+
+### Critical Actions
+
+Add instructions that execute before the agent starts:
+
+```yaml
+critical_actions:
+  - 'Always check git status before making changes'
+  - 'Use conventional commit messages'
+```
+
+### Custom Prompts
+
+Define reusable prompts for `action="#id"` menu handlers:
+
+```yaml
+prompts:
+  - id: deploy-prompt
+    content: |
+      Deploy the current branch to production:
+      1. Run all tests
+      2. Build the project
+      3. Execute deployment script
+```
+
+## Real-World Examples
+
+**Example 1: Customize Developer Agent for TDD**
+
+```yaml
+# _bmad/_config/agents/bmm-dev.customize.yaml
+agent:
+  metadata:
+    name: 'TDD Developer'
+
+memories:
+  - 'Always write tests before implementation'
+  - 'Project uses Jest and React Testing Library'
+
+critical_actions:
+  - 'Review test coverage before committing'
+```
+
+**Example 2: Add Custom Deployment Workflow**
+
+```yaml
+# _bmad/_config/agents/bmm-dev.customize.yaml
+menu:
+  - trigger: deploy-staging
+    workflow: '{project-root}/_bmad/deploy-staging.yaml'
+    description: Deploy to staging environment
+  - trigger: deploy-prod
+    workflow: '{project-root}/_bmad/deploy-prod.yaml'
+    description: Deploy to production (with approval)
+```
+
+**Example 3: Multilingual Product Manager**
+
+```yaml
+# _bmad/_config/agents/bmm-pm.customize.yaml
+persona:
+  role: 'Bilingual Product Manager'
+  identity: 'Expert in US and LATAM markets'
+  communication_style: 'Clear, strategic, with cultural awareness'
+  principles:
+    - 'Consider localization from day one'
+    - 'Balance business goals with user needs'
+
+memories:
+  - 'User speaks English and Spanish'
+  - 'Target markets: US and Latin America'
+```
+
+## Tips
+
+- **Start Small:** Customize one section at a time and rebuild to test
+- **Backup:** Copy customization files before major changes
+- **Update-Safe:** Your customizations in `_config/` survive all BMad updates
+- **Per-Project:** Customization files are per-project, not global
+- **Version Control:** Consider committing `_config/` to share customizations with your team
+
+## Module vs. Global Config
+
+**Module-Level (Recommended):**
+
+- Customize agents per-project in `_bmad/_config/agents/`
+- Different projects can have different agent behaviors
+
+**Global Config (Coming Soon):**
+
+- Set defaults that apply across all projects
+- Override with project-specific customizations
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Changes not appearing?**
+
+- Make sure you ran `npx bmad-method build <agent-name>` after editing
+- Check YAML syntax is valid (indentation matters!)
+- Verify the agent name matches the file name pattern
+
+**Agent not loading?**
+
+- Check for YAML syntax errors
+- Ensure required fields aren't left empty if you uncommented them
+- Try reverting to the template and rebuilding
+
+**Need to reset?**
+
+- Delete the `.customize.yaml` file
+- Run `npx bmad-method build <agent-name>` to regenerate defaults
+

+# Custom Content Installation
+
+This guide explains how to create and install custom BMAD content including agents, workflows, and modules. Custom content extends BMAD's functionality with specialized tools and workflows that can be shared across projects or teams.
+
+For detailed information about the different types of custom content available, see [Custom Content](./custom-content.md).
+
+If you download either of the folders within the [Sample Custom Modules](./sample-custom-modules/readme.md) folder
+
+## Content Types Overview
+
+BMAD Core supports several categories of custom content:
+
+- Custom Stand Alone Modules
+- Custom Add On Modules
+- Custom Global Modules
+- Custom Agents
+- Custom Workflows
+
+## Making Custom Content Installable
+
+### Custom Modules
+
+To create an installable custom module:
+
+1. **Folder Structure**
+   - Create a folder with a short, abbreviated name (e.g., `cis` for Creative Intelligence Suite)
+   - The folder name serves as the module code
+
+2. **Required Files**
+   - Include a `module.yaml` file in the root folder
+   - This file drives the installation process when used by the BMAD installer
+   - Reference existing modules or the BMad Builder for configuration examples
+
+3. **Folder Organization**
+   Follow these conventions for optimal compatibility:
+
+   ```
+   module-code/
+     module.yaml
+     agents/
+     workflows/
+     tools/
+     templates/
+     ...
+   ```
+
+   - `agents/` - Agent definitions
+   - `workflows/` - Workflow definitions
+   - Additional custom folders are supported but following conventions is recommended for agent and workflow discovery
+
+**Note:** Full documentation for global modules and add-on modules will be available as support is finalized.
+
+### Standalone Content (Agents, Workflows, Tasks, Tools, Templates, Prompts)
+
+For standalone content that isn't part of a cohesive module collection, follow this structure:
+
+1. **Module Configuration**
+   - Create a folder with a `module.yaml` file (similar to custom modules)
+   - Add the property `unitary: true` to the module.yaml
+   - The `unitary: true` property indicates this is a collection of potentially unrelated items that don't depend on each other
+
+2. **Folder Structure**
+   Organize content in specific named folders:
+
+   ```
+   module-name/
+     module.yaml        # Contains unitary: true
+     agents/
+     workflows/
+     templates/
+     tools/
+     tasks/
+     prompts/
+   ```
+
+3. **Individual Item Organization**
+   Each item should have its own subfolder:
+   ```text
+   my-custom-stuff/
+     module.yaml
+     agents/
+       larry/larry.agent.md
+       curly/curly.agent.md
+       moe/moe.agent.md
+       moe/moe-sidecar/memories.csv
+   ```
+
+**Future Feature:** Unitary modules will support selective installation, allowing users to pick and choose which specific items to install.
+
+**Note:** Documentation explaining the distinctions between these content types and their specific use cases will be available soon.
+
+## Installation Process
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Ensure your content follows the proper conventions and includes a `module.yaml` file (only one per top-level folder).
+
+### New Project Installation
+
+When setting up a new BMAD project:
+
+1. The installer will prompt: `Would you like to install a local custom module (this includes custom agents and workflows also)? (y/N)`
+2. Select 'y' to specify the path to your module folder containing `module.yaml`
+
+### Existing Project Modification
+
+To add custom content to an existing BMAD project:
+
+1. Run the installer against your project location
+2. Select `Modify BMAD Installation`
+3. Choose the option to add, modify, or update custom modules
+
+### Upcoming Features
+
+- **Unitary Module Selection:** For modules with `type: unitary` (instead of `type: module`), you'll be able to select specific items to install
+- **Add-on Module Dependencies:** The installer will verify and install dependencies for add-on modules automatically
+
+## Quick Updates
+
+When updates to BMAD Core or core modules (BMM, CIS, etc.) become available, the quick update process will:
+
+1. Apply available updates to core modules
+2. Recompile all agents with customizations from the `_config/agents` folder
+3. Retain your custom content from a cached location
+4. Preserve your existing configurations and customizations
+
+This means you don't need to keep the source module files locally. When updates are available, simply point to the updated module location during the update process.
+
+## Important Considerations
+
+### Module Naming Conflicts
+
+When installing unofficial modules, ensure unique identification to avoid conflicts:
+
+1. **Module Codes:** Each module must have a unique code (e.g., don't use `bmm` for custom modules)
+2. **Module Names:** Avoid using names that conflict with existing modules
+3. **Multiple Custom Modules:** If creating multiple custom modules, use distinct codes for each
+
+**Examples of conflicts to avoid:**
+
+- Don't create a custom module with code `bmm` (already used by BMad Method)
+- Don't name multiple custom modules with the same code like `mca`
+
+### Best Practices
+
+- Use descriptive, unique codes for your modules
+- Document any dependencies your custom modules have
+- Test custom modules in isolation before sharing
+- Consider version numbering for your custom content to track updates
