Description

What

This pull request simply changes all references to v5 to instead be v6.

Why

While testing out the convert-legacy workflow on the v6-alpha branch, I noticed a bunch of v5 references in files it produced. There is no v5, but there will be a v6. :)

How

I used Claude Code to assist finding/changing all references.

Testing

While trying to follow the steps in the contributing guidelines for testing, it looks like a number of the scripts were renamed or refactored and npm run does not find them. E.g., there is no pre-release script anymore:

$ find . -name 'pre-release*'
$ find . -name 'pre-*'
./node_modules/figlet/.husky/pre-commit
./.husky/pre-commit
$ find . -name '*-release'
./node_modules/@semantic-release

I think this PR might need to be manually validated, due to changes to processes that have not yet had documentation updates to accompany them. In time... :)

Pattern Analysis

Type of Changes

  • Consistent text replacement: v5 → v6 throughout all files
  • Scope: Documentation files (README.md, checklist.md, instructions.md, workflow.yaml)
  • Affected workflows:
    • convert-legacy (most changes - 122 lines)
    • create-module (4 lines)
    • create-workflow (4 lines)
    • module-brief (4 lines)
    • brainstorming (2 lines)

Common Replacements

  1. v4 to v5 → v4 to v6 (conversion workflow context)
  2. v5 compliant → v6 compliant
  3. v5 architecture → v6 architecture
  4. v5 conventions → v6 conventions
  5. v5 patterns → v6 patterns
  6. v5 structure → v6 structure
  7. v5.0.0 → v6.0.0 (version number)
  8. Part of the BMad Method v5 → Part of the BMad Method v6 (footers)

Files NOT Changed

  • No code files (.js, .yaml configs, etc.)
  • No agent files
  • No core workflow logic
  • Only documentation and README files

Review Context

Contributor Notes

  1. Testing Issue: Contributor mentions that testing scripts in CONTRIBUTING.md don't match current repository state
  2. Missing Scripts: pre-release script no longer exists
  3. Manual Validation Needed: Due to documentation/process mismatch

Repository Context

  • Target Branch: v6-alpha (development branch for v6)
  • Context: BMAD is transitioning from v4 to v6 (skipping v5)
  • Issue: Legacy documentation had incorrect v5 references that should be v6

Initial Assessment

Scope

  • ✅ Straightforward: Text-only replacements in documentation
  • ✅ Consistent: Same pattern across all files
  • ✅ Focused: Only affects documentation, not code
  • ✅ Symmetric: Changes duplicated in both bmad/ and src/ directories

Potential Issues

  1. Duplication: Changes appear in both bmad/ and src/ directories - is this intentional?
  2. Testing Gap: Contributor can't verify using documented testing process
  3. Completeness: Are there other v5 references elsewhere in the codebase?
  4. Search Scope: Need to verify no v5 references remain

Questions to Investigate

  1. Are there other files with v5 references not caught?
  2. Should bmad/ and src/ have identical files (duplication concern)?
  3. Are there v5 references in code/config files?
  4. Should CONTRIBUTING.md be updated to reflect current testing process?

Completeness Analysis

Search Results: Remaining v5 References

CRITICAL FINDING: The PR is INCOMPLETE. Many v5 references remain in the codebase:

Files Checked by PR ✅

  • bmad/bmb/workflows/convert-legacy/* (4 files)
  • bmad/bmb/workflows/create-module/README.md
  • bmad/bmb/workflows/create-workflow/README.md
  • bmad/bmb/workflows/module-brief/README.md
  • bmad/core/workflows/brainstorming/README.md
  • src/ mirrors of the above (7 files)

Files with v5 References NOT Fixed by PR ❌

CHANGELOG.md:

  • Line 19: expansion packs from v5 to modules in v5 (2 instances)
  • Line 22: ## [v5.0.0] - SKIPPED (intentional version marker)

Both bmad/ and src/ still have v5 in convert-legacy/:

  • checklist.md: 12+ instances (v5 Compliance, v5 structure, v5 patterns, etc.)
  • instructions.md: 40+ instances (v4 to v5 conversion, v5 equivalents, v5 format, etc.)
  • README.md: 25+ instances (v5 compliant, v5 architecture, v5 conventions, etc.)
  • workflow.yaml: 1 instance (v4 to v5 Converter)

Other files:

  • module-brief/README.md footer: Part of the BMad Method v5
  • create-workflow/README.md: v5.0.0 version history
  • brainstorming/README.md footer: Part of the BMad Method v5

Why Files Were Missed

Looking at the PR patches, it appears the PR did update the convert-legacy files but ONLY in a few places - the patches show changes like:

  • Line 1: # Convert Legacy - v4 to v5 Conversion → v4 to v6 Conversion ✅
  • Line 59: Map v4 patterns to v5 equivalents → v6 equivalents ✅

BUT the current codebase (v6-alpha branch) STILL HAS v5 references in those same files at different lines, meaning either:

  1. The PR branch is ahead of v6-alpha but not merged yet
  2. The PR is incomplete and didn't catch all instances
  3. Our search is finding the pre-PR state of the files

Assessment

The PR changes ONLY 15 files but there are 100+ v5 references across the codebase, with significant concentrations in:

  • convert-legacy workflow files (still have v5 references despite PR claims)
  • CHANGELOG.md (has intentional v5.0.0 marker + accidental v5 references)
  • Module footers (several still say "Part of the BMad Method v5")

Next Steps for Investigation

  1. ✅ COMPLETED: Search entire codebase for remaining v5 references
    • Result: 100+ matches found, PR addresses only 15 files
  2. TODO: Download PR patch and apply to see exact scope of changes
  3. TODO: Validate that bmad/ and src/ duplication is intentional
  4. TODO: Determine if some v5 references are intentional (CHANGELOG version marker)
  5. TODO: Assess if PR is complete or needs expansion to catch all v5 references
  6. TODO: Review testing scripts mentioned in CONTRIBUTING.md

Status: INITIAL SUMMARY COMPLETE - CRITICAL ISSUE FOUND: PR IS INCOMPLETE

Recommendation: This PR needs significant expansion to address all v5 references in the codebase, or it needs to clarify its limited scope.

UPDATED ANALYSIS (Phase 1.2 - Patch Application Test)

GitHub API vs Actual Patch Discrepancy

CRITICAL DISCOVERY:

  • GitHub API Reports: 15 files changed
  • Actual Patch File Contains: 658 files changed

This massive discrepancy (15 vs 658) indicates the PR is FAR more comprehensive than GitHub's summary suggests.

Patch Application Results

Attempted to apply PR-827.patch to test branch pr-827-test: Command: git apply .patch/827/PR-827.patch Result: FAILED - Patch does not apply cleanly

Failure Categories:

  1. "already exists in working directory" - Files added to v6-alpha after PR was created
  2. "No such file or directory" - Files PR expects but don't exist in current base
  3. "patch does not apply" - Line number mismatches from base branch changes

Example Errors:

  • est/fixtures/agent-schema/valid/menu-commands/all-command-types.agent.yaml: already exists
  • src/modules/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/story-approved/instructions.md: No such file
  • src/modules/bmm/workflows/workflow-status/paths/brownfield-level-3.yaml: patch does not apply

Conclusion

The PR is significantly outdated relative to the current 6-alpha branch:

  • Created: 2025-10-27
  • Base SHA: b753fb293b
  • Current v6-alpha has diverged substantially since then
  • PR would require a complete rebase to merge cleanly

Revised Scope Assessment

The original analysis showing "15 files changed" was based on GitHub's API summary. The actual patch file reveals:

  • 658 files are touched by this PR
  • This is FAR MORE comprehensive than initially thought
  • The PR appears to be a massive find-replace operation across the entire codebase

Critical Questions Raised

  1. Are all 658 changes legitimate v5→v6 fixes?

    • Or are some changes unintended side effects?

  2. Does the 658-file PR cover ALL v5 references?

    • Original grep found 100+ v5 refs in current v6-alpha
    • But v6-alpha has changed since PR was created
    • Need to analyze what the PR actually changes vs what still needs fixing

  3. Why can't the patch apply?

    • PR is ~3 months old (created 2025-10-27, today is 2025-01-22)
    • v6-alpha has had significant development since then
    • Files added, removed, renamed, or modified

  4. What should the review strategy be?

    • REQUEST CHANGES (ask contributor to rebase)?
    • CLOSE PR (too outdated, fix ourselves from current v6-alpha)?
    • EXTRACT INTENT (use PR as reference, apply our own comprehensive fix)?

Next Phase Actions (Updated)

Phase 1.3: Analyze Patch Content Directly

  • Extract sample changes from patch file to understand intent
  • Identify patterns in the 658 files
  • Categorize change types (documentation, code, config, etc.)

Phase 1.4: Compare Against Current State

  • Cross-reference PR's 658 files against current v6-alpha grep results
  • Determine if PR was comprehensive for its time
  • Identify what's covered vs what's missing in current v6-alpha

Phase 1.5: Formulate Recommendation

  • Option A: Request changes (rebase required)
  • Option B: Close PR, create fresh comprehensive fix
  • Option C: Hybrid approach (acknowledge PR, but fix independently)

Updated Status: Phase 1.2 COMPLETE - Patch failed to apply as expected (PR is outdated)
Next: Phase 1.3 - Extract and analyze actual changes from 658-file patch
