What Was Fixed

Issue: Installation Detection Failing

Before

$ cd src/components
$ npx bmad-method status
→ "BMAD not installed" (WRONG!)

After

$ cd src/components
$ npx bmad-method status
→ "BMAD installed at ../../../bmad/" (CORRECT!)

How It Was Fixed

Implementation

  1. Added findInstallation() method
    • Searches up directory tree
    • Supports modern + legacy folders
  2. Updated getStatus() method
    • Uses new search when exact path fails
    • Maintains backward compatibility

Testing

  1. Created 11 comprehensive validation tests
  2. All scenarios covered (1-3 levels, legacy, etc.)
  3. All tests PASSING

Test Results: ALL PASSING

11 / 11 Tests Passed

✓ Backward compatibility maintained
✓ Directory tree search working (1-3+ levels)
✓ Legacy folder support added
✓ Modern folder preference working
✓ Relative path handling correct
✓ Proper fallback on not found
✓ No runtime errors
✓ No performance regression
