TODO-001 Investigation Report: Locating the Problematic File

Status: ⚠️ Issue Not Found in Current Codebase

Files Searched:

  1. c:\Users\kdejo\DEV\bmad-v6\bmad\core\agents\bmad-master.md - Found, examined
  2. c:\Users\kdejo\DEV\bmad-v6\src\core\agents\bmad-master.agent.yaml - Found, examined (YAML format)
  3. .claude\commands\bmad\core\agents\bmad-master.md - Found (duplicate)

Search Results:

  • No instances of Dependencies map to root/type/name found
  • No instances of root/type/name pattern found
  • No IDE-FILE-RESOLUTION documentation found
  • Line 14 in bmad-master.md does not contain dependency mapping

Current bmad-master.md Content (Line 14):

  <step n="4">Load into memory {project-root}/bmad/core/config.yaml and set variable project_name, output_folder, user_name, communication_language</step>

This line uses proper variable interpolation syntax: {project-root}

Investigation Findings:

1. Path Resolution Logic Found:

  • File: tools/cli/installers/lib/core/dependency-resolver.js
  • Function: parseFileReferences() and resolveSingleDependency()
  • Status: Already uses correct {project-root} syntax

2. Variable Interpolation Patterns:

Throughout the codebase, I found consistent use of:

  • {project-root} - Correctly used everywhere
  • {user_name} - Properly formatted variables
  • {communication_language} - Proper syntax

3. Dependency Resolution Code Analysis:

// From dependency-resolver.js line 295+
if (depPath.includes('{project-root}')) {
  // Remove {project-root} and resolve as bmad path
  depPath = depPath.replace('{project-root}', '');
  // ... proper resolution logic
}

Code correctly handles variable interpolation with curly braces

Hypothesis: Issue Status

Possible Scenarios:

  1. 🎯 Issue Already Fixed: The bug may have been fixed in a previous commit
  2. 🔄 Different Branch: Issue exists on a different branch (main vs v6-alpha)
  3. 📁 Different File: Issue is in a file we haven't found yet
  4. 🏷️ Different Version: Issue reporter was using an older version

Next Actions:

  1. Check commit history for previous fixes to dependency resolution
  2. Search main branch to see if issue exists there
  3. Search for any file containing IDE-FILE-RESOLUTION
  4. Look for workflow.xml or similar files that might contain the problematic syntax

Updated TODO Status:

  • TODO-001.1: Found bmad-master.md files
  • TODO-001.2: Line 14 does NOT contain problematic syntax
  • TODO-001.3: Documented current behavior (uses correct syntax)

Recommendation:

Either the issue has already been resolved, or we need to investigate further to find where the root/type/name syntax actually exists in the codebase.
