Brian Madison f1c9e12618 fix(installer): address PR #2353 review comments
Carry forward unknown --set keys across upgrades (CodeRabbit major).
Without this, an unknown key like --set bmm.future_thing=hello landed in
config.toml on run #1 but was silently dropped on the next install
because collectModuleConfig rebuilds collectedConfig from prompt answers
only. collectModuleConfig now copies any non-declared keys from
_existingConfig into collectedConfig and tracks them in setOverrideKeys
so the manifest writer's schema-strict partition keeps them.

Guard single-select rendering with Array.isArray (CodeRabbit major):
a malformed truthy non-array would have aborted --list-options.

Unify core override handling: move the inline post-collection block
from ui.js into OfficialModules.applyOverridesAfterSeeding so core and
non-core take a single validated path. Removes duplicated schema-load
logic and inline requires from ui.js.

Remove dead code: findOfficialModuleYaml and readDeclaredKeys in
set-overrides.js were exported but never imported. Drop them and
their path/fs/yaml/project-root imports — the module is now pure
string-parsing with zero deps.

Doc fix: change "silently ignored" to "ignored with a warning" for
the --action quick-update note (Augment + CodeRabbit).

Polish: clearer flag placeholder (--set <module.key=value> instead of
the misleading <key=value>), trim-asymmetry rationale comment in
parseSetEntry, dedupe rationale in list-options.

Tests: +6 cases — collectModuleConfig --set application end-to-end
(prompt-skip with template rendering), and carry-forward of unknown
keys from _existingConfig. Total 333 passing.

BMad CLI Tool

Installing external repo BMad official modules

For external official modules to be discoverable during install, ensure an entry for the external repo is added to external-official-modules.yaml.

For community modules - this will be handled in a different way. This file is only for registration of modules under the bmad-code-org.

Post-Install Notes

Modules can display setup guidance to users after configuration is collected during npx bmad-method install. Notes are defined in the module's own module.yaml — no changes to the installer are needed.

Simple Format

Always displayed after the module is configured:

post-install-notes: |
  Thank you for choosing the XYZ Cool Module
  For Support about this Module call 555-1212  

Conditional Format

Display different messages based on a config question's answer:

post-install-notes:
  config_key_name:
    value1: |
      Instructions for value1...      
    value2: |
      Instructions for value2...      

Values without an entry (e.g., none) display nothing. Multiple config keys can each have their own conditional notes.

Example: TEA Module

The TEA module uses the conditional format keyed on tea_browser_automation:

post-install-notes:
  tea_browser_automation:
    cli: |
      Playwright CLI Setup:
        npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest
        playwright-cli install --skills      
    mcp: |
      Playwright MCP Setup (two servers):
        1. playwright    — npx @playwright/mcp@latest
        2. playwright-test — npx playwright run-test-mcp-server      
    auto: |
      Playwright CLI Setup:
        ...
      Playwright MCP Setup (two servers):
        ...      

When a user selects auto, they see both CLI and MCP instructions. When they select none, nothing is shown.
