🚀 Quick Start

Step 1: Understand the Problem (5 min)

Read the Quick Summary section in README.md:

  • What's wrong
  • Example of the bug
  • Root cause
  • Expected behavior

Step 2: Review the Solution (10 min)

Review Solution Overview in README.md:

  • 5-component architecture
  • How it fixes the problem
  • Key files to modify

Step 3: Start Phase 1 (2 hours)

Open TODO.md and begin Phase 1: Code Analysis

  • Task 1.1: Examine Install Command Entry Point
  • Task 1.2: Map All Configuration Questions
  • Task 1.3: Understand Current Manifest Usage

🎯 Success Criteria

The fix is complete when ALL of these are true:

  1. ✅ No configuration questions asked during update
  2. ✅ Existing settings preserved from install-manifest.yaml
  3. ✅ Version detection still works (shows update available)
  4. ✅ Files properly updated without re-asking
  5. ✅ All IDE configurations preserved
  6. ✅ All expansion packs preserved
  7. ✅ Backward compatible with old installations
  8. ✅ Graceful fallback on corrupted manifest
  9. ✅ Comprehensive test coverage
  10. ✅ Documentation updated

📦 What Gets Changed

Files to Modify (5)

  • tools/cli/commands/install.js - Add update detection, config loading
  • tools/cli/lib/config.js - Add manifest loading methods
  • tools/cli/installers/lib/core/installer.js - Add mode detection
  • tools/cli/installers/lib/core/manifest.js - Add validation
  • All prompt functions in tools/cli/installers/lib/ - Add skipping logic

Files to Create (1-2)

  • tools/cli/lib/config-loader.js - New configuration loader
  • test/ - New test files (10+ test files)

No Breaking Changes

  • Backward compatible with old manifest formats
  • Graceful handling of missing fields
  • Safe fallback to fresh install if needed

📊 Effort Breakdown

Phase 1: Code Analysis          2 hours (understand current code)
Phase 2: Configuration Loading  3 hours (build config loader)
Phase 3: Update Detection       3 hours (add version detection)
Phase 4: Question Skipping      4 hours (skip questions on update)
Phase 5: Validation             2 hours (error handling)
Phase 6: Integration & Testing  4 hours (test and validate)
Phase 7: Documentation & Release 2 hours (docs and PR)
────────────────────────────────────
TOTAL:                          20 hours

Recommended: 2-4 hour work sessions, one phase per session

🧪 Testing Strategy

Category Count Time
Unit Tests 12 ~30 min
Integration Tests 8 ~45 min
End-to-End Scenarios 6 ~60 min
Manual Tests 8 ~90 min
TOTAL 34 ~3.5 hours

All tests run automatically - just follow the test plan in TEST-SPECIFICATIONS.md

🎓 Key Concepts

Update Detection

No manifest file → FRESH INSTALL (ask all questions)
Manifest exists:
  - Version changed → UPDATE (skip questions)
  - Version same → REINSTALL (skip questions)
  - Invalid manifest → treat as FRESH (ask all questions)

Configuration Flow

1. User runs: npx bmad-method install
2. System checks for existing manifest
3. If update/reinstall detected:
   - Load previous configuration
   - Skip all configuration questions
   - Use cached values
4. If fresh install:
   - Ask all questions
   - Store answers in manifest
5. Proceed with installation

Error Handling

Error in manifest loading/validation:
  1. Log warning to user
  2. Treat as fresh install
  3. Ask all questions
  4. Create new manifest
  5. Never corrupt existing manifest

💡 Pro Tips

Before Starting

  1. Read README.md completely (15 minutes)
  2. Skim IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md (10 minutes)
  3. Skim TEST-SPECIFICATIONS.md (5 minutes)
  4. Understand the 5-component solution

During Implementation

  1. Follow TODO.md checklist strictly
  2. Check off items as completed
  3. Create tests BEFORE implementing (TDD)
  4. Commit after each phase
  5. Run tests frequently

After Each Phase

  1. Run unit tests: npm test -- test/unit/ --verbose
  2. Review code for clarity
  3. Add comments explaining logic
  4. Commit with phase number: git commit -m "feat(#477): Phase X - Name"

Before PR

  1. All tests pass locally
  2. No console logs or debug code
  3. Documentation updated
  4. Backward compatibility verified
  5. Manual testing completed

📍 Current Status

✅ Planning Complete

  • All documentation created
  • Solution architected
  • Test strategy defined
  • Task list ready

⏳ Next: Phase 1 - Code Analysis

  • Open TODO.md
  • Start at Task 1.1
  • Estimate: 2 hours

⏭ After Phase 1: Phase 2 - Configuration Loading (3 hours)

⚠️ Important Notes

  1. Stay in Branch: All work must be in fix/477-installer-update-config
  2. Test First: Create tests before implementing (TDD approach)
  3. No Breaking Changes: Must be backward compatible
  4. Graceful Fallback: Never fail silently, always provide options
  5. Comprehensive Testing: 34 test scenarios - don't skip any
  6. Documentation: Update README and add code comments

🎯 Definition of Done

A phase is "done" when:

  • All tasks marked complete in TODO.md
  • Code written and committed
  • All tests passing (unit, integration, or e2e as applicable)
  • No console errors or warnings
  • Code reviewed for quality
  • Documentation updated
  • Next phase ready to start
