Shared canonical memlog script (src/scripts/memlog.py) + bmad-spec as first consumer (#2462)
* bmad-spec: make the memlog canonical, SPEC.md a derived view

Replace the bespoke .decision-log.md with the shared memlog script
(_bmad/scripts/memlog.py, same location as resolve_customization.py).
The append-only memlog becomes the single source of truth; SPEC.md and
spec-authored companions are re-derived from it (plus cited sources for
raw content) on each run instead of hand-patched. This makes bmad-spec
the sole writer of the spec and lets the surrounding steps (PRD, UX,
architecture, epics) feed one spec in any order without merge drift.

- New "Memory and derivation" section: memlog canonical, SPEC.md a
  projection, single-writer rule, append/init via the shared script,
  no status field (terminal moments are event entries).
- Operation reads the prior memlog (not the rendered SPEC.md) as the
  authority on decisions and capability IDs on update.
- Conflict-surfacing: live sources/companions that disagree on a field
  are raised to the user, resolution logged as a new entry.
- Rename .decision-log.md -> .memlog.md across SKILL.md and assets.

* core: add shared canonical memlog.py in src/scripts

Single source-of-truth memlog: append-only, chronological working-memory
log for skills. Installs to _bmad/scripts/memlog.py via the existing
src/scripts sync (beside resolve_customization.py), so any skill can call
it at runtime — bmad-spec is the first consumer.

Merges the neutral API (--workspace, free-form --type/--by, generic set)
with crash-safe fsync atomic writes. No lifecycle status by design: a
memory log records completion as an event entry, never a frontmatter flag.
Also accepts --path for callers that hold the file path directly. 30 tests.

* bmad-spec: include event in memlog --type list

The documented append --type set omitted event while the next line
requires --type event for terminal moments. Align the list.

* Fix memlog Python floor and exclude tests from install

- memlog.py: add 'from __future__ import annotations' so PEP 585/604
  hints stay lazy; the script runs on Python 3.8+ instead of crashing
  below 3.10. Correct the requires-python header to >=3.8.
- installer.js: filter tests/, __pycache__/, .pytest_cache/, and *.pyc
  out of _installSharedScripts so dev-only files never ship to users.

BMad CLI Tool

Installing external repo BMad official modules

For external official modules to be discoverable during install, ensure an entry for the external repo is added to external-official-modules.yaml.

For community modules - this will be handled in a different way. This file is only for registration of modules under the bmad-code-org.

Post-Install Notes

Modules can display setup guidance to users after configuration is collected during npx bmad-method install. Notes are defined in the module's own module.yaml — no changes to the installer are needed.

Simple Format

Always displayed after the module is configured:

post-install-notes: |
  Thank you for choosing the XYZ Cool Module
  For Support about this Module call 555-1212  

Conditional Format

Display different messages based on a config question's answer:

post-install-notes:
  config_key_name:
    value1: |
      Instructions for value1...      
    value2: |
      Instructions for value2...      

Values without an entry (e.g., none) display nothing. Multiple config keys can each have their own conditional notes.

Example: TEA Module

The TEA module uses the conditional format keyed on tea_browser_automation:

post-install-notes:
  tea_browser_automation:
    cli: |
      Playwright CLI Setup:
        npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest
        playwright-cli install --skills      
    mcp: |
      Playwright MCP Setup (two servers):
        1. playwright    — npx @playwright/mcp@latest
        2. playwright-test — npx playwright run-test-mcp-server      
    auto: |
      Playwright CLI Setup:
        ...
      Playwright MCP Setup (two servers):
        ...      

When a user selects auto, they see both CLI and MCP instructions. When they select none, nothing is shown.
