Nine fixes covering bugs caught by my code-review, Augment, and CodeRabbit:
quickUpdate identity overwrite (official-modules.js): collectModuleConfigQuick
now lazy-loads globalConfig and falls back through ~/.bmad/config.user.toml
before getDefaultUsername(), so `bmad update` no longer silently overwrites
the user's global identity with the OS username.
computeProcessedDefault placeholder asymmetry (manifest-generator.js): build
a shipped-defaults crossKeyDefaults map and feed BOTH writeCentralConfig and
writeModuleTomls through it. Previously stripDefaults resolved {output_folder}
against user answers while module.toml resolved it against shipped defaults —
overriding output_folder silently reverted every derived path on read.
parseTomlScalar escape order (global-config.js): single-pass regex replacer
so `\\n` round-trips as backslash+n instead of collapsing to a newline.
Windows paths and any TOML string with literal `\n`/`\t`/`\r` survive.
writeGlobalUserCore nested-table corruption (manifest-generator.js): emit
nested objects as proper dotted sub-tables (`[modules.bmm]`) instead of
serializing them as `"[object Object]"` strings inside the parent section.
extractAgentBlocks dead code (manifest-generator.js): deleted. The agent
preservation invariant was intentionally retired by Task F (agents live in
module.toml floor); the function had no callers.
applySetOverrides 3-tier routing (set-overrides.js): consults
~/.bmad/config.user.toml first, then project config.user.toml, then routes
known core scope:user keys (user_name, communication_language per core
schema) to global when neither file owns them. Prevents
`bmad install --set core.user_name=Alice` from polluting project team config.
BMAD_HOME tilde expansion (global-config.js): JS resolver now matches
Python's Path.expanduser() so installer and resolver agree on the global
location when BMAD_HOME is set in non-shell contexts (.env, Docker, Windows).
resolve_config.py fail-fast (resolve_config.py): when --project-root is
explicitly passed but _bmad/ doesn't exist, exit 1 with a clear error
instead of silently returning {}. Global-only mode (no --project-root)
remains permissive.
_MODULE_SKILLS_RE hyphen support (resolve_customization.py): allow hyphens
in module slugs (e.g. `foo-bar-skills/`) so qualified-name skill matching
works for hyphenated modules.
Tests: 383 JS tests + 21 Python tests pass; lint, markdownlint, prettier all
green. Suite 44 now isolates BMAD_HOME and asserts the new 3-tier routing
contract for `--set` overrides.

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.
