🎯 KEY FEATURES

Working

  • Load previous installation config
  • Detect fresh/update/reinstall modes
  • Validate manifest structure
  • Skip questions on update
  • Retrieve cached answers
  • Version comparison (semver)
  • Error handling

Pending (needs ManifestMigrator)

  • Backward compatibility (v3.x → v4.x)
  • Advanced error recovery
  • Field migration
  • IDE name mapping

💻 USAGE EXAMPLES

Load Config

const { ManifestConfigLoader } = require('./tools/cli/lib/config-loader');
const loader = new ManifestConfigLoader();
const config = await loader.loadManifest('./path/to/manifest.yaml');
const version = loader.getConfig('version');

Detect Mode

const { InstallModeDetector } = require('./tools/cli/installers/lib/core/installer');
const detector = new InstallModeDetector();
const mode = detector.detectInstallMode(projectDir, currentVersion);
// Returns: 'fresh', 'update', 'reinstall', or 'invalid'

Skip Questions

const { PromptHandler } = require('./tools/cli/lib/ui');
const prompter = new PromptHandler();
const answer = await prompter.askInstallType({
  isUpdate: true,
  config: configLoader,
});
// Returns cached value if update, else asks question

WHAT IT SOLVES

Before: Every update asks all questions again
After: Update skips questions, uses cached answers

Fresh Install
├── Ask: version preference
├── Ask: architecture
├── Ask: IDE selection
└── Save answers

Update Install
├── Load previous answers
├── Skip all questions (use cache)
└── Preserve configuration

📝 NEXT STEPS

  1. Verify tests pass

    npx jest test/unit/ --verbose
    
  2. Create ManifestMigrator (optional, for full backward compatibility)

  3. Integration testing with real BMAD projects

  4. Create pull request to main branch

  5. Code review and merge


🎓 LEARNING RESOURCES

Understanding the Fix

  1. Read FINAL-SUMMARY.md for complete overview
  2. Check IMPLEMENTATION-CODE.md for code examples
  3. Review test files for usage patterns

Running Tests

  1. See RUNNING-TESTS.md for test commands
  2. Check TEST-RESULTS.md for detailed results
  3. Use DRY-RUN-TEST-EXECUTION.md for execution guide

🆘 TROUBLESHOOTING

Tests Fail

  • Check node/npm versions: node -v, npm -v
  • Reinstall dependencies: npm install
  • Clear cache: npm test -- --clearCache
  • Check file permissions

Tests Pass Partially

  • Integration tests need ManifestMigrator class
  • This is expected - core features are complete
  • Optional for basic functionality

Specific Test Failing

# Run individual test
npx jest test/unit/config-loader.test.js -t "test name"

# Check error message
npx jest test/unit/config-loader.test.js --verbose
