jheyworth 81badb92cd fix(installer): address PR #2324 review feedback
Six fixes from CodeRabbit + Augment review on the OpenCode command
pointer generation:

- skipTarget no longer suppresses installCommandPointers in multi-IDE
  shared-target_dir batches. Pointers live in a per-IDE directory and
  are not deduped across peers, so OpenCode must still generate them
  even when a peer (e.g. openhands) won the .agents/skills write race.
- skipTarget no longer suppresses cleanupCommandPointers either, so
  partial uninstalls leave no stale pointers when a peer remains.
- canonicalId is validated as a safe basename before being interpolated
  into a file path (defense in depth against a malformed manifest entry
  writing outside commands_target_dir).
- yamlSafeSingleLine now quotes descriptions starting with `[` or `{`
  so YAML doesn't parse them as a sequence/map.
- Per-record fs.writeFile failures are caught and counted (writeFailures)
  rather than aborting the whole IDE install — pointer files are a
  non-essential adjunct to the skill copy.
- Generator-shaped pointer files are refreshed when the manifest
  description changes; hand-modified files (body diverges from the
  generator pattern) are still preserved unless forceCommands is set.

Tests: extends Suite 8 with description-update propagation; adds new
Suite 40c covering OpenCode + openhands batches in both orderings plus
partial-IDE uninstall pointer cleanup. 308 tests pass (was 296).

Follow the installer prompts, then open your AI IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) in your project folder.

Non-Interactive Installation (for CI/CD):

npx bmad-method install --directory /path/to/project --modules bmm --tools claude-code --yes

See all installation options

Not sure what to do? Ask bmad-help — it tells you exactly what's next and what's optional. You can also ask questions like bmad-help I just finished the architecture, what do I do next?

Modules

BMad Method extends with official modules for specialized domains. Available during installation or anytime after.

Module Purpose
BMad Method (BMM) Core framework with 34+ workflows
BMad Builder (BMB) Create custom BMad agents and workflows
