+
+#### Advanced Usage & Options
+
+- CLI options
+  - `-i, --input <path>`: Directory to flatten. Default: current working directory or auto-detected project root when run interactively.
+  - `-o, --output <path>`: Output file path. Default: `flattened-codebase.xml` in the chosen directory.
+- Interactive mode
+  - If you do not pass `--input` and `--output` and the terminal is interactive (TTY), the tool will attempt to detect your project root (by looking for markers like `.git`, `package.json`, etc.) and prompt you to confirm or override the paths.
+  - In non-interactive contexts (e.g., CI), it will prefer the detected root silently; otherwise it falls back to the current directory and default filename.
+- File discovery and ignoring
+  - Uses `git ls-files` when inside a git repository for speed and correctness; otherwise falls back to a glob-based scan.
+  - Applies your `.gitignore` plus a curated set of default ignore patterns (e.g., `node_modules`, build outputs, caches, logs, IDE folders, lockfiles, large media/binaries, `.env*`, and previously generated XML outputs).
+- Binary handling
+  - Binary files are detected and excluded from the XML content. They are counted in the final summary but not embedded in the output.
+- XML format and safety
+  - UTF-8 encoded file with root element `<files>`.
+  - Each text file is emitted as a `<file path="relative/path">` element whose content is wrapped in `<![CDATA[ ... ]]>`.
+  - The tool safely handles occurrences of `]]>` inside content by splitting the CDATA to preserve correctness.
+  - File contents are preserved as-is and indented for readability inside the XML.
+- Performance
+  - Concurrency is selected automatically based on your CPU and workload size. No configuration required.
+  - Running inside a git repo improves discovery performance.
+
+#### Minimal XML example
+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<files>
+  <file path="src/index.js"><![CDATA[
+    // your source content
+  ]]></file>

+# Test Levels Framework
+
+Comprehensive guide for determining appropriate test levels (unit, integration, E2E) for different scenarios.
+
+## Test Level Decision Matrix
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+**When to use:**
+
+- Testing pure functions and business logic
+- Algorithm correctness
+- Input validation and data transformation
+- Error handling in isolated components
+- Complex calculations or state machines
+
+**Characteristics:**
+
+- Fast execution (immediate feedback)
+- No external dependencies (DB, API, file system)
+- Highly maintainable and stable
+- Easy to debug failures
+
+**Example scenarios:**
+
+```yaml
+unit_test:
+  component: 'PriceCalculator'
+  scenario: 'Calculate discount with multiple rules'
+  justification: 'Complex business logic with multiple branches'
+  mock_requirements: 'None - pure function'
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+**When to use:**
+
+- Component interaction verification
+- Database operations and transactions
+- API endpoint contracts
+- Service-to-service communication
+- Middleware and interceptor behavior
+
+**Characteristics:**
+
+- Moderate execution time
+- Tests component boundaries
+- May use test databases or containers
+- Validates system integration points
+
+**Example scenarios:**
+
+```yaml
+integration_test:
+  components: ['UserService', 'AuthRepository']
+  scenario: 'Create user with role assignment'
+  justification: 'Critical data flow between service and persistence'
+  test_environment: 'In-memory database'
+```
+
+### End-to-End Tests
+
+**When to use:**
+
+- Critical user journeys
+- Cross-system workflows
+- Visual regression testing
+- Compliance and regulatory requirements
+- Final validation before release
+
+**Characteristics:**
+
+- Slower execution
+- Tests complete workflows
+- Requires full environment setup
+- Most realistic but most brittle
+
+**Example scenarios:**
+
+```yaml
+e2e_test:
+  journey: 'Complete checkout process'
+  scenario: 'User purchases with saved payment method'
+  justification: 'Revenue-critical path requiring full validation'
+  environment: 'Staging with test payment gateway'
+```
+
+## Test Level Selection Rules
+
+### Favor Unit Tests When:
+
+- Logic can be isolated
+- No side effects involved
+- Fast feedback needed
+- High cyclomatic complexity
+
+### Favor Integration Tests When:
+
+- Testing persistence layer
+- Validating service contracts
+- Testing middleware/interceptors
+- Component boundaries critical
+
+### Favor E2E Tests When:
+
+- User-facing critical paths
+- Multi-system interactions
+- Regulatory compliance scenarios
+- Visual regression important
+
+## Anti-patterns to Avoid
+
+- E2E testing for business logic validation
+- Unit testing framework behavior
+- Integration testing third-party libraries
+- Duplicate coverage across levels
+
+## Duplicate Coverage Guard
+
+**Before adding any test, check:**
+
+1. Is this already tested at a lower level?
+2. Can a unit test cover this instead of integration?
+3. Can an integration test cover this instead of E2E?
+
+**Coverage overlap is only acceptable when:**
+
+- Testing different aspects (unit: logic, integration: interaction, e2e: user experience)
+- Critical paths requiring defense in depth
+- Regression prevention for previously broken functionality
+
+## Test Naming Conventions
+
+- Unit: `test_{component}_{scenario}`
+- Integration: `test_{flow}_{interaction}`
+- E2E: `test_{journey}_{outcome}`
+
+## Test ID Format
+
+`{EPIC}.{STORY}-{LEVEL}-{SEQ}`
+
+Examples:
+
+- `1.3-UNIT-001`
+- `1.3-INT-002`
+- `1.3-E2E-001`

+# Test Priorities Matrix
+
+Guide for prioritizing test scenarios based on risk, criticality, and business impact.
+
+## Priority Levels
+
+### P0 - Critical (Must Test)
+
+**Criteria:**
+
+- Revenue-impacting functionality
+- Security-critical paths
+- Data integrity operations
+- Regulatory compliance requirements
+- Previously broken functionality (regression prevention)
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- Payment processing
+- Authentication/authorization
+- User data creation/deletion
+- Financial calculations
+- GDPR/privacy compliance
+
+**Testing Requirements:**
+
+- Comprehensive coverage at all levels
+- Both happy and unhappy paths
+- Edge cases and error scenarios
+- Performance under load
+
+### P1 - High (Should Test)
+
+**Criteria:**
+
+- Core user journeys
+- Frequently used features
+- Features with complex logic
+- Integration points between systems
+- Features affecting user experience
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- User registration flow
+- Search functionality
+- Data import/export
+- Notification systems
+- Dashboard displays
+
+**Testing Requirements:**
+
+- Primary happy paths required
+- Key error scenarios
+- Critical edge cases
+- Basic performance validation
+
+### P2 - Medium (Nice to Test)
+
+**Criteria:**
+
+- Secondary features
+- Admin functionality
+- Reporting features
+- Configuration options
+- UI polish and aesthetics
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- Admin settings panels
+- Report generation
+- Theme customization
+- Help documentation
+- Analytics tracking
+
+**Testing Requirements:**
+
+- Happy path coverage
+- Basic error handling
+- Can defer edge cases
+
+### P3 - Low (Test if Time Permits)
+
+**Criteria:**
+
+- Rarely used features
+- Nice-to-have functionality
+- Cosmetic issues
+- Non-critical optimizations
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- Advanced preferences
+- Legacy feature support
+- Experimental features
+- Debug utilities
+
+**Testing Requirements:**
+
+- Smoke tests only
+- Can rely on manual testing
+- Document known limitations
+
+## Risk-Based Priority Adjustments
+
+### Increase Priority When:
+
+- High user impact (affects >50% of users)
+- High financial impact (>$10K potential loss)
+- Security vulnerability potential
+- Compliance/legal requirements
+- Customer-reported issues
+- Complex implementation (>500 LOC)
+- Multiple system dependencies
+
+### Decrease Priority When:
+
+- Feature flag protected
+- Gradual rollout planned
+- Strong monitoring in place
+- Easy rollback capability
+- Low usage metrics
+- Simple implementation
+- Well-isolated component
+
+## Test Coverage by Priority
+
+| Priority | Unit Coverage | Integration Coverage | E2E Coverage       |
+| -------- | ------------- | -------------------- | ------------------ |
+| P0       | >90%          | >80%                 | All critical paths |
+| P1       | >80%          | >60%                 | Main happy paths   |
+| P2       | >60%          | >40%                 | Smoke tests        |
+| P3       | Best effort   | Best effort          | Manual only        |
+
+## Priority Assignment Rules
+
+1. **Start with business impact** - What happens if this fails?
+2. **Consider probability** - How likely is failure?
+3. **Factor in detectability** - Would we know if it failed?
+4. **Account for recoverability** - Can we fix it quickly?
+
+## Priority Decision Tree
+
+```
+Is it revenue-critical?
+├─ YES → P0
+└─ NO → Does it affect core user journey?
+    ├─ YES → Is it high-risk?
+    │   ├─ YES → P0
+    │   └─ NO → P1
+    └─ NO → Is it frequently used?
+        ├─ YES → P1
+        └─ NO → Is it customer-facing?
+            ├─ YES → P2
+            └─ NO → P3
+```
+
+## Test Execution Order
+
+1. Execute P0 tests first (fail fast on critical issues)
+2. Execute P1 tests second (core functionality)
+3. Execute P2 tests if time permits
+4. P3 tests only in full regression cycles
+
+## Continuous Adjustment
+
+Review and adjust priorities based on:
+
+- Production incident patterns
+- User feedback and complaints
+- Usage analytics
+- Test failure history
+- Business priority changes

+# nfr-assess
+
+Quick NFR validation focused on the core four: security, performance, reliability, maintainability.
+
+## Inputs
+
+```yaml
+required:
+  - story_id: '{epic}.{story}' # e.g., "1.3"
+  - story_path: 'docs/stories/{epic}.{story}.*.md'
+
+optional:
+  - architecture_refs: 'docs/architecture/*.md'
+  - technical_preferences: 'docs/technical-preferences.md'
+  - acceptance_criteria: From story file
+```
+
+## Purpose
+
+Assess non-functional requirements for a story and generate:
+
+1. YAML block for the gate file's `nfr_validation` section
+2. Brief markdown assessment saved to `docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-{YYYYMMDD}.md`
+
+## Process
+
+### 0. Fail-safe for Missing Inputs
+
+If story_path or story file can't be found:
+
+- Still create assessment file with note: "Source story not found"
+- Set all selected NFRs to CONCERNS with notes: "Target unknown / evidence missing"
+- Continue with assessment to provide value
+
+### 1. Elicit Scope
+
+**Interactive mode:** Ask which NFRs to assess
+**Non-interactive mode:** Default to core four (security, performance, reliability, maintainability)
+
+```text
+Which NFRs should I assess? (Enter numbers or press Enter for default)
+[1] Security (default)
+[2] Performance (default)
+[3] Reliability (default)
+[4] Maintainability (default)
+[5] Usability
+[6] Compatibility
+[7] Portability
+[8] Functional Suitability
+
+> [Enter for 1-4]
+```
+
+### 2. Check for Thresholds
+
+Look for NFR requirements in:
+
+- Story acceptance criteria
+- `docs/architecture/*.md` files
+- `docs/technical-preferences.md`
+
+**Interactive mode:** Ask for missing thresholds
+**Non-interactive mode:** Mark as CONCERNS with "Target unknown"
+
+```text
+No performance requirements found. What's your target response time?
+> 200ms for API calls
+
+No security requirements found. Required auth method?
+> JWT with refresh tokens
+```
+
+**Unknown targets policy:** If a target is missing and not provided, mark status as CONCERNS with notes: "Target unknown"
+
+### 3. Quick Assessment
+
+For each selected NFR, check:
+
+- Is there evidence it's implemented?
+- Can we validate it?
+- Are there obvious gaps?
+
+### 4. Generate Outputs
+
+## Output 1: Gate YAML Block
+
+Generate ONLY for NFRs actually assessed (no placeholders):
+
+```yaml
+# Gate YAML (copy/paste):
+nfr_validation:
+  _assessed: [security, performance, reliability, maintainability]
+  security:
+    status: CONCERNS
+    notes: 'No rate limiting on auth endpoints'
+  performance:
+    status: PASS
+    notes: 'Response times < 200ms verified'
+  reliability:
+    status: PASS
+    notes: 'Error handling and retries implemented'
+  maintainability:
+    status: CONCERNS
+    notes: 'Test coverage at 65%, target is 80%'
+```
+
+## Deterministic Status Rules
+
+- **FAIL**: Any selected NFR has critical gap or target clearly not met
+- **CONCERNS**: No FAILs, but any NFR is unknown/partial/missing evidence
+- **PASS**: All selected NFRs meet targets with evidence
+
+## Quality Score Calculation
+
+```
+quality_score = 100
+- 20 for each FAIL attribute
+- 10 for each CONCERNS attribute
+Floor at 0, ceiling at 100
+```
+
+If `technical-preferences.md` defines custom weights, use those instead.
+
+## Output 2: Brief Assessment Report
+
+**ALWAYS save to:** `docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-{YYYYMMDD}.md`
+
+```markdown
+# NFR Assessment: {epic}.{story}
+
+Date: {date}
+Reviewer: Quinn
+
+<!-- Note: Source story not found (if applicable) -->
+
+## Summary
+
+- Security: CONCERNS - Missing rate limiting
+- Performance: PASS - Meets <200ms requirement
+- Reliability: PASS - Proper error handling
+- Maintainability: CONCERNS - Test coverage below target
+
+## Critical Issues
+
+1. **No rate limiting** (Security)
+   - Risk: Brute force attacks possible
+   - Fix: Add rate limiting middleware to auth endpoints
+
+2. **Test coverage 65%** (Maintainability)
+   - Risk: Untested code paths
+   - Fix: Add tests for uncovered branches
+
+## Quick Wins
+
+- Add rate limiting: ~2 hours
+- Increase test coverage: ~4 hours
+- Add performance monitoring: ~1 hour
+```
+
+## Output 3: Story Update Line
+
+**End with this line for the review task to quote:**
+
+```
+NFR assessment: docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-{YYYYMMDD}.md
+```
+
+## Output 4: Gate Integration Line
+
+**Always print at the end:**
+
+```
+Gate NFR block ready → paste into docs/qa/gates/{epic}.{story}-{slug}.yml under nfr_validation
+```
+
+## Assessment Criteria
+
+### Security
+
+**PASS if:**
+
+- Authentication implemented
+- Authorization enforced
+- Input validation present
+- No hardcoded secrets
+
+**CONCERNS if:**
+
+- Missing rate limiting
+- Weak encryption

+
+## Risk Analysis Process
+
+### 1. Risk Identification
+
+For each category, identify specific risks:
+
+```yaml
+risk:
+  id: 'SEC-001' # Use prefixes: SEC, PERF, DATA, BUS, OPS, TECH
+  category: security
+  title: 'Insufficient input validation on user forms'
+  description: 'Form inputs not properly sanitized could lead to XSS attacks'
+  affected_components:
+    - 'UserRegistrationForm'
+    - 'ProfileUpdateForm'
+  detection_method: 'Code review revealed missing validation'
+```
+
+### 2. Risk Assessment
+
+Evaluate each risk using probability × impact:
+
+**Probability Levels:**
+
+- `High (3)`: Likely to occur (>70% chance)
+- `Medium (2)`: Possible occurrence (30-70% chance)
+- `Low (1)`: Unlikely to occur (<30% chance)
+
+**Impact Levels:**
+
+- `High (3)`: Severe consequences (data breach, system down, major financial loss)
+- `Medium (2)`: Moderate consequences (degraded performance, minor data issues)
+- `Low (1)`: Minor consequences (cosmetic issues, slight inconvenience)
+
+**Risk Score = Probability × Impact**
+
+- 9: Critical Risk (Red)
+- 6: High Risk (Orange)
+- 4: Medium Risk (Yellow)
+- 2-3: Low Risk (Green)
+- 1: Minimal Risk (Blue)
+
+### 3. Risk Prioritization
+
+Create risk matrix:
+
+```markdown
+## Risk Matrix
+
+| Risk ID  | Description             | Probability | Impact     | Score | Priority |
+| -------- | ----------------------- | ----------- | ---------- | ----- | -------- |
+| SEC-001  | XSS vulnerability       | High (3)    | High (3)   | 9     | Critical |
+| PERF-001 | Slow query on dashboard | Medium (2)  | Medium (2) | 4     | Medium   |
+| DATA-001 | Backup failure          | Low (1)     | High (3)   | 3     | Low      |
+```
+
+### 4. Risk Mitigation Strategies
+
+For each identified risk, provide mitigation:
+
+```yaml
+mitigation:
+  risk_id: 'SEC-001'
+  strategy: 'preventive' # preventive|detective|corrective
+  actions:
+    - 'Implement input validation library (e.g., validator.js)'
+    - 'Add CSP headers to prevent XSS execution'
+    - 'Sanitize all user inputs before storage'
+    - 'Escape all outputs in templates'
+  testing_requirements:
+    - 'Security testing with OWASP ZAP'
+    - 'Manual penetration testing of forms'
+    - 'Unit tests for validation functions'
+  residual_risk: 'Low - Some zero-day vulnerabilities may remain'
+  owner: 'dev'
+  timeline: 'Before deployment'
+```

+[Full table of all risks with scores and mitigations]
+
+## Risk-Based Testing Strategy
+
+### Priority 1: Critical Risk Tests
+
+- Test scenarios for critical risks
+- Required test types (security, load, chaos)
+- Test data requirements
+
+### Priority 2: High Risk Tests
+
+- Integration test scenarios
+- Edge case coverage
+
+### Priority 3: Medium/Low Risk Tests
+
+- Standard functional tests
+- Regression test suite
+
+## Risk Acceptance Criteria
+
+### Must Fix Before Production
+
+- All critical risks (score 9)
+- High risks affecting security/data
+
+### Can Deploy with Mitigation
+
+- Medium risks with compensating controls
+- Low risks with monitoring in place
+
+### Accepted Risks
+
+- Document any risks team accepts
+- Include sign-off from appropriate authority
+
+## Monitoring Requirements
+
+Post-deployment monitoring for:
+
+- Performance metrics for PERF risks
+- Security alerts for SEC risks
+- Error rates for operational risks
+- Business KPIs for business risks
+
+## Risk Review Triggers
+
+Review and update risk profile when:
+
+- Architecture changes significantly
+- New integrations added
+- Security vulnerabilities discovered
+- Performance issues reported
+- Regulatory requirements change
+```
+
+## Risk Scoring Algorithm
+
+Calculate overall story risk score:
+
+```
+Base Score = 100
+For each risk:
+  - Critical (9): Deduct 20 points
+  - High (6): Deduct 10 points
+  - Medium (4): Deduct 5 points
+  - Low (2-3): Deduct 2 points
+
+Minimum score = 0 (extremely risky)
+Maximum score = 100 (minimal risk)
+```
+
+## Risk-Based Recommendations
+
+Based on risk profile, recommend:
+
+1. **Testing Priority**
+   - Which tests to run first
+   - Additional test types needed
+   - Test environment requirements
+
+2. **Development Focus**
+   - Code review emphasis areas
+   - Additional validation needed
+   - Security controls to implement
+
+3. **Deployment Strategy**
+   - Phased rollout for high-risk changes
+   - Feature flags for risky features
+   - Rollback procedures
+
+4. **Monitoring Setup**
+   - Metrics to track
+   - Alerts to configure
+   - Dashboard requirements
+
+## Integration with Quality Gates
+
+**Deterministic gate mapping:**
+
+- Any risk with score ≥ 9 → Gate = FAIL (unless waived)
+- Else if any score ≥ 6 → Gate = CONCERNS
+- Else → Gate = PASS
+- Unmitigated risks → Document in gate

+  - story_path: '{devStoryLocation}/{epic}.{story}.*.md' # Path from core-config.yaml
+  - story_title: '{title}' # If missing, derive from story file H1
+  - story_slug: '{slug}' # If missing, derive from title (lowercase, hyphenated)
+```
+
+## Purpose
+
+Design a complete test strategy that identifies what to test, at which level (unit/integration/e2e), and why. This ensures efficient test coverage without redundancy while maintaining appropriate test boundaries.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+```yaml
+data:
+  - test-levels-framework.md # Unit/Integration/E2E decision criteria
+  - test-priorities-matrix.md # P0/P1/P2/P3 classification system
+```
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Analyze Story Requirements
+
+Break down each acceptance criterion into testable scenarios. For each AC:
+
+- Identify the core functionality to test
+- Determine data variations needed
+- Consider error conditions
+- Note edge cases
+
+### 2. Apply Test Level Framework
+
+**Reference:** Load `test-levels-framework.md` for detailed criteria
+
+Quick rules:
+
+- **Unit**: Pure logic, algorithms, calculations
+- **Integration**: Component interactions, DB operations
+- **E2E**: Critical user journeys, compliance
+
+### 3. Assign Priorities
+
+**Reference:** Load `test-priorities-matrix.md` for classification
+
+Quick priority assignment:
+
+- **P0**: Revenue-critical, security, compliance
+- **P1**: Core user journeys, frequently used
+- **P2**: Secondary features, admin functions
+- **P3**: Nice-to-have, rarely used
+
+### 4. Design Test Scenarios
+
+For each identified test need, create:
+
+```yaml
+test_scenario:
+  id: '{epic}.{story}-{LEVEL}-{SEQ}'
+  requirement: 'AC reference'
+  priority: P0|P1|P2|P3
+  level: unit|integration|e2e
+  description: 'What is being tested'
+  justification: 'Why this level was chosen'
+  mitigates_risks: ['RISK-001'] # If risk profile exists
+```
+
+### 5. Validate Coverage
+
+Ensure:
+
+- Every AC has at least one test
+- No duplicate coverage across levels
+- Critical paths have multiple levels
+- Risk mitigations are addressed

+# trace-requirements
+
+Map story requirements to test cases using Given-When-Then patterns for comprehensive traceability.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Create a requirements traceability matrix that ensures every acceptance criterion has corresponding test coverage. This task helps identify gaps in testing and ensures all requirements are validated.
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Given-When-Then is used here for documenting the mapping between requirements and tests, NOT for writing the actual test code. Tests should follow your project's testing standards (no BDD syntax in test code).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Story file with clear acceptance criteria
+- Access to test files or test specifications
+- Understanding of the implementation
+
+## Traceability Process
+
+### 1. Extract Requirements
+
+Identify all testable requirements from:
+
+- Acceptance Criteria (primary source)
+- User story statement
+- Tasks/subtasks with specific behaviors
+- Non-functional requirements mentioned
+- Edge cases documented
+
+### 2. Map to Test Cases
+
+For each requirement, document which tests validate it. Use Given-When-Then to describe what the test validates (not how it's written):
+
+```yaml
+requirement: 'AC1: User can login with valid credentials'
+test_mappings:
+  - test_file: 'auth/login.test.ts'
+    test_case: 'should successfully login with valid email and password'
+    # Given-When-Then describes WHAT the test validates, not HOW it's coded
+    given: 'A registered user with valid credentials'
+    when: 'They submit the login form'
+    then: 'They are redirected to dashboard and session is created'
+    coverage: full
+
+  - test_file: 'e2e/auth-flow.test.ts'
+    test_case: 'complete login flow'
+    given: 'User on login page'
+    when: 'Entering valid credentials and submitting'
+    then: 'Dashboard loads with user data'
+    coverage: integration
+```
+
+### 3. Coverage Analysis
+
+Evaluate coverage for each requirement:
+
+**Coverage Levels:**
+
+- `full`: Requirement completely tested
+- `partial`: Some aspects tested, gaps exist
+- `none`: No test coverage found
+- `integration`: Covered in integration/e2e tests only
+- `unit`: Covered in unit tests only
+
+### 4. Gap Identification
+
+Document any gaps found:
+
+```yaml
+coverage_gaps:
+  - requirement: 'AC3: Password reset email sent within 60 seconds'
+    gap: 'No test for email delivery timing'
+    severity: medium
+    suggested_test:
+      type: integration
+      description: 'Test email service SLA compliance'
+
+  - requirement: 'AC5: Support 1000 concurrent users'
+    gap: 'No load testing implemented'
+    severity: high
+    suggested_test:
+      type: performance
+      description: 'Load test with 1000 concurrent connections'
+```

+
+#### AC1: {Acceptance Criterion 1}
+
+**Coverage: FULL**
+
+Given-When-Then Mappings:
+
+- **Unit Test**: `auth.service.test.ts::validateCredentials`
+  - Given: Valid user credentials
+  - When: Validation method called
+  - Then: Returns true with user object
+
+- **Integration Test**: `auth.integration.test.ts::loginFlow`
+  - Given: User with valid account
+  - When: Login API called
+  - Then: JWT token returned and session created
+
+#### AC2: {Acceptance Criterion 2}
+
+**Coverage: PARTIAL**
+
+[Continue for all ACs...]
+
+### Critical Gaps
+
+1. **Performance Requirements**
+   - Gap: No load testing for concurrent users
+   - Risk: High - Could fail under production load
+   - Action: Implement load tests using k6 or similar
+
+2. **Security Requirements**
+   - Gap: Rate limiting not tested
+   - Risk: Medium - Potential DoS vulnerability
+   - Action: Add rate limit tests to integration suite
+
+### Test Design Recommendations
+
+Based on gaps identified, recommend:
+
+1. Additional test scenarios needed
+2. Test types to implement (unit/integration/e2e/performance)
+3. Test data requirements
+4. Mock/stub strategies
+
+### Risk Assessment
+
+- **High Risk**: Requirements with no coverage
+- **Medium Risk**: Requirements with only partial coverage
+- **Low Risk**: Requirements with full unit + integration coverage
+```
+
+## Traceability Best Practices
+
+### Given-When-Then for Mapping (Not Test Code)
+
+Use Given-When-Then to document what each test validates:
+
+**Given**: The initial context the test sets up
+
+- What state/data the test prepares
+- User context being simulated
+- System preconditions
+
+**When**: The action the test performs
+
+- What the test executes
+- API calls or user actions tested
+- Events triggered
+
+**Then**: What the test asserts
+
+- Expected outcomes verified
+- State changes checked
+- Values validated
+
+**Note**: This is for documentation only. Actual test code follows your project's standards (e.g., describe/it blocks, no BDD syntax).
+
+### Coverage Priority
+
+Prioritize coverage based on:
+
+1. Critical business flows
+2. Security-related requirements
+3. Data integrity requirements
+4. User-facing features
+5. Performance SLAs
+
+### Test Granularity
+
+Map at appropriate levels:
+
+- Unit tests for business logic
+- Integration tests for component interaction
+- E2E tests for user journeys
+- Performance tests for NFRs
+
+## Quality Indicators
+
+Good traceability shows:
+
+- Every AC has at least one test
+- Critical paths have multiple test levels
+- Edge cases are explicitly covered
+- NFRs have appropriate test types
+- Clear Given-When-Then for each test
+
+## Red Flags
+
+Watch for:
+
+- ACs with no test coverage
+- Tests that don't map to requirements
+- Vague test descriptions
+- Missing edge case coverage
+- NFRs without specific tests
+
+## Integration with Gates
+
+This traceability feeds into quality gates:
+
+- Critical gaps → FAIL
+- Minor gaps → CONCERNS
+- Missing P0 tests from test-design → CONCERNS

       IMPORTANT - SCOPE ASSESSMENT REQUIRED:
-

       This PRD is for SIGNIFICANT enhancements to existing projects that require comprehensive planning and multiple stories. Before proceeding:
-      
+
       1. **Assess Enhancement Complexity**: If this is a simple feature addition or bug fix that could be completed in 1-2 focused development sessions, STOP and recommend: "For simpler changes, consider using the brownfield-create-epic or brownfield-create-story task with the Product Owner instead. This full PRD process is designed for substantial enhancements that require architectural planning and multiple coordinated stories."
-      
+
       2. **Project Context**: Determine if we're working in an IDE with the project already loaded or if the user needs to provide project information. If project files are available, analyze existing documentation in the docs folder. If insufficient documentation exists, recommend running the document-project task first.
-      
+
       3. **Deep Assessment Requirement**: You MUST thoroughly analyze the existing project structure, patterns, and constraints before making ANY suggestions. Every recommendation must be grounded in actual project analysis, not assumptions.
-      
+
       Gather comprehensive information about the existing project. This section must be completed before proceeding with requirements.
-      
+
       CRITICAL: Throughout this analysis, explicitly confirm your understanding with the user. For every assumption you make about the existing project, ask: "Based on my analysis, I understand that [assumption]. Is this correct?"
-      
+
       Do not proceed with any recommendations until the user has validated your understanding of the existing system.

-# BMad-Method BMAd Code User Guide
-
-This guide will help you understand and effectively use the BMad Method for agile AI driven planning and development.
-
-## The BMad Plan and Execute Workflow
-
-First, here is the full standard Greenfield Planning + Execution Workflow. Brownfield is very similar, but it's suggested to understand this greenfield first, even if on a simple project before tackling a brownfield project. The BMad Method needs to be installed to the root of your new project folder. For the planning phase, you can optionally perform it with powerful web agents, potentially resulting in higher quality results at a fraction of the cost it would take to complete if providing your own API key or credits in some Agentic tools. For planning, powerful thinking models and larger context - along with working as a partner with the agents will net the best results.
-
-If you are going to use the BMad Method with a Brownfield project (an existing project), review **[Working in the Brownfield](./working-in-the-brownfield.md)**.
-
-If you do not see the diagrams that following rendering, you can install Markdown All in One along with the Markdown Preview Mermaid Support plugins to VSCode (or one of the forked clones). With these plugin's, if you right click on the tab when open, there should be a Open Preview option, or check the IDE documentation.
-
-### The Planning Workflow (Web UI or Powerful IDE Agents)
-
-Before development begins, BMad follows a structured planning workflow that's ideally done in web UI for cost efficiency:

-
-#### Web UI to IDE Transition
-
-**Critical Transition Point**: Once the PO confirms document alignment, you must switch from web UI to IDE to begin the development workflow:
-
-1. **Copy Documents to Project**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` are in your project's docs folder (or a custom location you can specify during installation)
-2. **Switch to IDE**: Open your project in your preferred Agentic IDE
-3. **Document Sharding**: Use the PO agent to shard the PRD and then the Architecture
-4. **Begin Development**: Start the Core Development Cycle that follows
-
-### The Core Development Cycle (IDE)
-
-Once planning is complete and documents are sharded, BMad follows a structured development workflow:
-
-```mermaid

-
-## Installation
-
-### Optional
-
-If you want to do the planning in the Web with Claude (Sonnet 4 or Opus), Gemini Gem (2.5 Pro), or Custom GPT's:
-
-1. Navigate to `dist/teams/`
-2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt`
-3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
-4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
-5. Type `/help` to see available commands
-
-### IDE Project Setup
-
-```bash
-# Interactive installation (recommended)
-npx bmad-method install
-```
-
-## Special Agents
-
-There are two bmad agents - in the future they will be consolidated into the single bmad-master.
-
-### BMad-Master
-
-This agent can do any task or command that all other agents can do, aside from actual story implementation. Additionally, this agent can help explain the BMad Method when in the web by accessing the knowledge base and explaining anything to you about the process.
-
-If you don't want to bother switching between different agents aside from the dev, this is the agent for you. Just remember that as the context grows, the performance of the agent degrades, therefore it is important to instruct the agent to compact the conversation and start a new conversation with the compacted conversation as the initial message. Do this often, preferably after each story is implemented.
-
-### BMad-Orchestrator
-
-This agent should NOT be used within the IDE, it is a heavy weight special purpose agent that utilizes a lot of context and can morph into any other agent. This exists solely to facilitate the team's within the web bundles. If you use a web bundle you will be greeted by the BMad Orchestrator.
-
-### How Agents Work
-
-#### Dependencies System
-
-Each agent has a YAML section that defines its dependencies:
-
-```yaml
-dependencies:
-  templates:
-    - prd-template.md
-    - user-story-template.md
-  tasks:
-    - create-doc.md
-    - shard-doc.md
-  data:
-    - bmad-kb.md
-```
-
-**Key Points:**
-
-- Agents only load resources they need (lean context)
-- Dependencies are automatically resolved during bundling
-- Resources are shared across agents to maintain consistency
-
-#### Agent Interaction
-
-**In IDE:**
-
-```bash
-# Some Ide's, like Cursor or Windsurf for example, utilize manual rules so interaction is done with the '@' symbol
-@pm Create a PRD for a task management app
-@architect Design the system architecture
-@dev Implement the user authentication
-
-# Some, like Claude Code use slash commands instead
-/pm Create user stories
-/dev Fix the login bug
-```
-

-## IDE Integration
-
-### IDE Best Practices
-
-- **Context Management**: Keep relevant files only in context, keep files as lean and focused as necessary
-- **Agent Selection**: Use appropriate agent for task
-- **Iterative Development**: Work in small, focused tasks
-- **File Organization**: Maintain clean project structure
-- **Commit Regularly**: Save your work frequently
-
-## Technical Preferences System
-
-BMad includes a personalization system through the `technical-preferences.md` file located in `.bmad-core/data/` - this can help bias the PM and Architect to recommend your preferences for design patterns, technology selection, or anything else you would like to put in here.
-
-### Using with Web Bundles
-
-When creating custom web bundles or uploading to AI platforms, include your `technical-preferences.md` content to ensure agents have your preferences from the start of any conversation.
-
-## Core Configuration
-
-The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical config that enables BMad to work seamlessly with differing project structures, more options will be made available in the future. Currently the most important is the devLoadAlwaysFiles list section in the yaml.
-
-### Developer Context Files
-
-Define which files the dev agent should always load:
-
-```yaml
-devLoadAlwaysFiles:
-  - docs/architecture/coding-standards.md
-  - docs/architecture/tech-stack.md
-  - docs/architecture/project-structure.md
-```
-
-You will want to verify from sharding your architecture that these documents exist, that they are as lean as possible, and contain exactly the information you want your dev agent to ALWAYS load into it's context. These are the rules the agent will follow.
-
-As your project grows and the code starts to build consistent patterns, coding standards should be reduced to include only the standards that the agent still makes with. The agent will look at surrounding code in files to infer the coding standards that are relevant to the current task.

-# Working in the Brownfield: A Complete Guide
-
-> **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Use Gemini Web or Gemini CLI for Brownfield Documentation Generation!**
->
-> Gemini Web's 1M+ token context window or Gemini CLI (when it's working) can analyze your ENTIRE codebase, or critical sections of it, all at once (obviously within reason):
->
-> - Upload via GitHub URL or use gemini cli in the project folder
-> - If working in the web: use the flattener-tool to flatten your project into a single file, then upload that file to your web agent.
-
-## What is Brownfield Development?
-
-Brownfield development refers to adding features, fixing bugs, or modernizing existing software projects. Unlike greenfield (new) projects, brownfield work requires understanding existing code, respecting constraints, and ensuring new changes integrate seamlessly without breaking existing functionality.
-
-## When to Use BMad for Brownfield
-
-- Add significant new features to existing applications
-- Modernize legacy codebases
-- Integrate new technologies or services
-- Refactor complex systems
-- Fix bugs that require architectural understanding
-- Document undocumented systems
-
-## When NOT to use a Brownfield Flow
-
-If you have just completed an MVP with BMad, and you want to continue with post-MVP, its easier to just talk to the PM and ask it to work with you to create a new epic to add into the PRD, shard out the epic, update any architecture documents with the architect, and just go from there.
-
-## The Complete Brownfield Workflow
-
-1. **Follow the [<ins>User Guide - Installation</ins>](user-guide.md#installation) steps to setup your agent in the web.**
-2. **Generate a 'flattened' single file of your entire codebase** run: ```npm run flatten```
-
-### Choose Your Approach
-
-#### Approach A: PRD-First (Recommended if adding very large and complex new features, single or multiple epics or massive changes)
-
-**Best for**: Large codebases, monorepos, or when you know exactly what you want to build
-
-1. **Create PRD First** to define requirements
-2. **Document only relevant areas** based on PRD needs
-3. **More efficient** - avoids documenting unused code
-
-#### Approach B: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)
-
-**Best for**: Smaller codebases, unknown systems, or exploratory changes
-
-1. **Document entire system** first
-2. **Create PRD** with full context
-3. **More thorough** - captures everything
-
-### Approach A: PRD-First Workflow (Recommended)
-
-#### Phase 1: Define Requirements First
-
-**In Gemini Web (with your flattened-codebase.xml uploaded):**
-
-```bash
-@pm
-*create-brownfield-prd
-```
-
-The PM will:
-
-- **Ask about your enhancement** requirements
-- **Explore the codebase** to understand current state
-- **Identify affected areas** that need documentation
-- **Create focused PRD** with clear scope
-
-**Key Advantage**: The PRD identifies which parts of your monorepo/large codebase actually need documentation!
-
-#### Phase 2: Focused Documentation
-
-**Still in Gemini Web, now with PRD context:**
-
-```bash
-@architect
-*document-project
-```
-
-The analyst will:
-
-- **Ask about your focus** if no PRD was provided
-- **Offer options**: Create PRD, provide requirements, or describe the enhancement
-- **Reference the PRD/description** to understand scope
-- **Focus on relevant modules** identified in PRD or your description
-- **Skip unrelated areas** to keep docs lean
-- **Generate ONE architecture document** for all environments
-
-The analyst creates:
-
-- **One comprehensive architecture document** following fullstack-architecture template
-- **Covers all system aspects** in a single file
-- **Easy to copy and save** as `docs/project-architecture.md`
-- **Can be sharded later** in IDE if desired
-
-For example, if you say "Add payment processing to user service":
-
-- Documents only: user service, API endpoints, database schemas, payment integrations
-- Creates focused source tree showing only payment-related code paths
-- Skips: admin panels, reporting modules, unrelated microservices
-
-### Approach B: Document-First Workflow
-
-#### Phase 1: Document the Existing System
-
-**Best Approach - Gemini Web with 1M+ Context**:
-
-1. **Go to Gemini Web** (gemini.google.com)
-2. **Upload your project**:
-   - **Option A**: Paste your GitHub repository URL directly
-   - **Option B**: Upload your flattened-codebase.xml file
-3. **Load the analyst agent**: Upload `dist/agents/architect.txt`
-4. **Run documentation**: Type `*document-project`
-
-The analyst will generate comprehensive documentation of everything.
-
-#### Phase 2: Plan Your Enhancement
-
-##### Option A: Full Brownfield Workflow (Recommended for Major Changes)
-
-**1. Create Brownfield PRD**:
-
-```bash
-@pm
-*create-brownfield-prd
-```
-
-The PM agent will:
-
-- **Analyze existing documentation** from Phase 1
-- **Request specific enhancement details** from you
-- **Assess complexity** and recommend approach
-- **Create epic/story structure** for the enhancement
-- **Identify risks and integration points**
-
-**How PM Agent Gets Project Context**:
-
-- In Gemini Web: Already has full project context from Phase 1 documentation
-- In IDE: Will ask "Please provide the path to your existing project documentation"
-
-**Key Prompts You'll Encounter**:
-
-- "What specific enhancement or feature do you want to add?"
-- "Are there any existing systems or APIs this needs to integrate with?"
-- "What are the critical constraints we must respect?"
-- "What is your timeline and team size?"
-
-**2. Create Brownfield Architecture**:
-
-```bash
-@architect
-*create-brownfield-architecture
-```
-
-The architect will:
-
-- **Review the brownfield PRD**
-- **Design integration strategy**
-- **Plan migration approach** if needed
-- **Identify technical risks**
-- **Define compatibility requirements**
-
-##### Option B: Quick Enhancement (For Focused Changes)
-
-**For Single Epic Without Full PRD**:
-
-```bash
-@pm
-*create-brownfield-epic
-```
-
-Use when:
-
-- Enhancement is well-defined and isolated
-- Existing documentation is comprehensive
-- Changes don't impact multiple systems
-- You need quick turnaround
-
-**For Single Story**:
-
-```bash
-@pm
-*create-brownfield-story
-```
-
-Use when:
-
-- Bug fix or tiny feature
-- Very isolated change
-- No architectural impact
-- Clear implementation path
-
-### Phase 3: Validate Planning Artifacts
-
-```bash
-@po
-*execute-checklist-po
-```
-
-The PO ensures:
-
-- Compatibility with existing system
-- No breaking changes planned
-- Risk mitigation strategies in place
-- Clear integration approach
-
-### Phase 4: Save and Shard Documents
-
-1. Save your PRD and Architecture as:
-   docs/brownfield-prd.md
-   docs/brownfield-architecture.md
-2. Shard your docs:
-   In your IDE
-
-   ```bash
-   @po
-   shard docs/brownfield-prd.md
-   ```
-
-   ```bash
-   @po
-   shard docs/brownfield-architecture.md
-   ```
-
-### Phase 5: Transition to Development
-
-**Follow the [<ins>Enhanced IDE Development Workflow</ins>](enhanced-ide-development-workflow.md)**
-
-## Brownfield Best Practices
-
-### 1. Always Document First
-
-Even if you think you know the codebase:
-
-- Run `document-project` to capture current state
-- AI agents need this context
-- Discovers undocumented patterns
-
-### 2. Respect Existing Patterns
-
-The brownfield templates specifically look for:
-
-- Current coding conventions
-- Existing architectural patterns
-- Technology constraints
-- Team preferences
-
-### 3. Plan for Gradual Rollout
-
-Brownfield changes should:
-
-- Support feature flags
-- Plan rollback strategies
-- Include migration scripts
-- Maintain backwards compatibility
-
-### 4. Test Integration Thoroughly
-
-Focus testing on:
-
-- Integration points
-- Existing functionality (regression)
-- Performance impact
-- Data migrations
-
-### 5. Communicate Changes
-
-Document:
-
-- What changed and why
-- Migration instructions
-- New patterns introduced
-- Deprecation notices
-
-## Common Brownfield Scenarios
-
-### Scenario 1: Adding a New Feature
-
-1. Document existing system
-2. Create brownfield PRD focusing on integration
-3. Architecture emphasizes compatibility
-4. Stories include integration tasks
-
-### Scenario 2: Modernizing Legacy Code
-
-1. Extensive documentation phase
-2. PRD includes migration strategy
-3. Architecture plans gradual transition
-4. Stories follow strangler fig pattern
-
-### Scenario 3: Bug Fix in Complex System
-
-1. Document relevant subsystems
-2. Use `create-brownfield-story` for focused fix
-3. Include regression test requirements
-4. QA validates no side effects
-
-### Scenario 4: API Integration
-
-1. Document existing API patterns
-2. PRD defines integration requirements
-3. Architecture ensures consistent patterns
-4. Stories include API documentation updates
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "The AI doesn't understand my codebase"
-
-**Solution**: Re-run `document-project` with more specific paths to critical files
-
-### "Generated plans don't fit our patterns"
-
-**Solution**: Update generated documentation with your specific conventions before planning phase
-
-### "Too much boilerplate for small changes"
-
-**Solution**: Use `create-brownfield-story` instead of full workflow
-
-### "Integration points unclear"
-
-**Solution**: Provide more context during PRD creation, specifically highlighting integration systems
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-### Brownfield-Specific Commands
-
-```bash
-# Document existing project
-@architect → *document-project
-
-# Create enhancement PRD
-@pm → *create-brownfield-prd
-
-# Create architecture with integration focus
-@architect → *create-brownfield-architecture
-
-# Quick epic creation
-@pm → *create-brownfield-epic
-
-# Single story creation
-@pm → *create-brownfield-story
-```
-
-### Decision Tree
-
-```text
-Do you have a large codebase or monorepo?
-├─ Yes → PRD-First Approach
-│   └─ Create PRD → Document only affected areas
-└─ No → Is the codebase well-known to you?
-    ├─ Yes → PRD-First Approach
-    └─ No → Document-First Approach
-
-Is this a major enhancement affecting multiple systems?
-├─ Yes → Full Brownfield Workflow
-└─ No → Is this more than a simple bug fix?
-    ├─ Yes → brownfield-create-epic
-    └─ No → brownfield-create-story
-```
-
-## Conclusion
-
-Brownfield development with BMad-Method provides structure and safety when modifying existing systems. The key is providing comprehensive context through documentation, using specialized templates that consider integration requirements, and following workflows that respect existing constraints while enabling progress.
-
-Remember: **Document First, Plan Carefully, Integrate Safely**

       IMPORTANT - SCOPE ASSESSMENT REQUIRED:
-      
+
       This PRD is for SIGNIFICANT enhancements to existing projects that require comprehensive planning and multiple stories. Before proceeding:
-      
+
       1. **Assess Enhancement Complexity**: If this is a simple feature addition or bug fix that could be completed in 1-2 focused development sessions, STOP and recommend: "For simpler changes, consider using the brownfield-create-epic or brownfield-create-story task with the Product Owner instead. This full PRD process is designed for substantial enhancements that require architectural planning and multiple coordinated stories."
-      
+
       2. **Project Context**: Determine if we're working in an IDE with the project already loaded or if the user needs to provide project information. If project files are available, analyze existing documentation in the docs folder. If insufficient documentation exists, recommend running the document-project task first.
-      
+
       3. **Deep Assessment Requirement**: You MUST thoroughly analyze the existing project structure, patterns, and constraints before making ANY suggestions. Every recommendation must be grounded in actual project analysis, not assumptions.
-      
+
       Gather comprehensive information about the existing project. This section must be completed before proceeding with requirements.
-      
+
       CRITICAL: Throughout this analysis, explicitly confirm your understanding with the user. For every assumption you make about the existing project, ask: "Based on my analysis, I understand that [assumption]. Is this correct?"
-      
+
       Do not proceed with any recommendations until the user has validated your understanding of the existing system.

+# Enhanced IDE Development Workflow
+
+This is a simple step-by-step guide to help you efficiently manage your development workflow using the BMad Method. The workflow integrates the Test Architect (QA agent) throughout the development lifecycle to ensure quality, prevent regressions, and maintain high standards. Refer to the **[<ins>User Guide</ins>](user-guide.md)** for any scenario that is not covered here.
+
+## Create New Branch
+
+1. **Start new branch**
+
+## Story Creation (Scrum Master)
+
+1. **Start new chat/conversation**
+2. **Load SM agent**
+3. **Execute**: `*draft` (runs create-next-story task)
+4. **Review generated story** in `docs/stories/`
+5. **Update status**: Change from "Draft" to "Approved"
+
+## Story Implementation (Developer)
+
+1. **Start new chat/conversation**
+2. **Load Dev agent**
+3. **Execute**: `*develop-story {selected-story}` (runs execute-checklist task)
+4. **Review generated report** in `{selected-story}`
+
+## Test Architect Integration Throughout Workflow
+
+The Test Architect (Quinn) provides comprehensive quality assurance throughout the development lifecycle. Here's how to leverage each capability at the right time.
+
+**Command Aliases:** Documentation uses short forms (`*risk`, `*design`, `*nfr`, `*trace`) for the full commands (`*risk-profile`, `*test-design`, `*nfr-assess`, `*trace-requirements`).
+
+### Quick Command Reference
+
+| **Stage**                | **Command** | **Purpose**                             | **Output**                                                      | **Priority**                |
+| ------------------------ | ----------- | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
+| **After Story Approval** | `*risk`     | Identify integration & regression risks | `docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-risk-{YYYYMMDD}.md`         | High for complex/brownfield |
+|                          | `*design`   | Create test strategy for dev            | `docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-test-design-{YYYYMMDD}.md`  | High for new features       |
+| **During Development**   | `*trace`    | Verify test coverage                    | `docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-trace-{YYYYMMDD}.md`        | Medium                      |
+|                          | `*nfr`      | Validate quality attributes             | `docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-{YYYYMMDD}.md`          | High for critical features  |
+| **After Development**    | `*review`   | Comprehensive assessment                | QA Results in story + `docs/qa/gates/{epic}.{story}-{slug}.yml` | **Required**                |
+| **Post-Review**          | `*gate`     | Update quality decision                 | Updated `docs/qa/gates/{epic}.{story}-{slug}.yml`               | As needed                   |
+
+### Stage 1: After Story Creation (Before Dev Starts)
+
+**RECOMMENDED - Set Developer Up for Success:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. RISK ASSESSMENT (Run FIRST for complex stories)
+@qa *risk {approved-story}
+# Identifies:
+#   - Technical debt impact
+#   - Integration complexity
+#   - Regression potential (1-9 scoring)
+#   - Mitigation strategies
+# Critical for: Brownfield, API changes, data migrations
+
+# 2. TEST DESIGN (Run SECOND to guide implementation)
+@qa *design {approved-story}
+# Provides:
+#   - Test scenarios per acceptance criterion
+#   - Test level recommendations (unit/integration/E2E)
+#   - Risk-based priorities (P0/P1/P2)
+#   - Test data requirements
+# Share with Dev: Include in story comments or attach to ticket
+```
+
+### Stage 2: During Development (Mid-Implementation Checkpoints)
+
+**Developer Self-Service Quality Checks:**
+
+```bash
+# 3. REQUIREMENTS TRACING (Verify coverage mid-development)
+@qa *trace {story-in-progress}
+# Validates:
+#   - All acceptance criteria have tests
+#   - No missing test scenarios
+#   - Appropriate test levels
+#   - Given-When-Then documentation clarity
+# Run when: After writing initial tests
+
+# 4. NFR VALIDATION (Check quality attributes)
+@qa *nfr {story-in-progress}
+# Assesses:
+#   - Security: Authentication, authorization, data protection
+#   - Performance: Response times, resource usage
+#   - Reliability: Error handling, recovery
+#   - Maintainability: Code quality, documentation
+# Run when: Before marking "Ready for Review"
+```
+
+### Stage 3: Story Review (Quality Gate Assessment)
+
+**REQUIRED - Comprehensive Test Architecture Review:**
+
+**Prerequisite:** All tests green locally; lint & type checks pass.
+
+```bash
+# 5. FULL REVIEW (Standard review process)
+@qa *review {completed-story}
+```
+
+**What Happens During Review:**
+
+1. **Deep Code Analysis**
+   - Architecture pattern compliance
+   - Code quality and maintainability
+   - Security vulnerability scanning
+   - Performance bottleneck detection
+
+2. **Active Refactoring**
+   - Improves code directly when safe
+   - Fixes obvious issues immediately
+   - Suggests complex refactoring for dev
+
+3. **Test Validation**
+   - Coverage at all levels (unit/integration/E2E)
+   - Test quality (no flaky tests, proper assertions)
+   - Regression test adequacy
+
+4. **Gate Decision**
+   - Creates: `docs/qa/gates/{epic}.{story}-{slug}.yml`
+   - Adds: QA Results section to story file
+   - Status: PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL/WAIVED
+
+### Stage 4: Post-Review (After Addressing Issues)
+
+**Update Gate Status After Fixes:**
+
+```bash
+# 6. GATE UPDATE (Document final decision)
+@qa *gate {reviewed-story}
+# Updates: Quality gate with new status
+# Use when: After addressing review feedback
+# Documents: What was fixed, what was waived
+```
+
+### Understanding Gate Decisions
+
+| **Status**   | **Meaning**                                  | **Action Required**     | **Can Proceed?** |
+| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------- |
+| **PASS**     | All critical requirements met                | None                    | ✅ Yes           |
+| **CONCERNS** | Non-critical issues found                    | Team review recommended | ⚠️ With caution  |
+| **FAIL**     | Critical issues (security, missing P0 tests) | Must fix                | ❌ No            |
+| **WAIVED**   | Issues acknowledged and accepted             | Document reasoning      | ✅ With approval |
+
+### Risk-Based Testing Strategy
+
+The Test Architect uses risk scoring to prioritize testing:
+
+| **Risk Score** | **Calculation**                | **Testing Priority**      | **Gate Impact**          |
+| -------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------- | ------------------------ |
+| **9**          | High probability × High impact | P0 - Must test thoroughly | FAIL if untested         |
+| **6**          | Medium-high combinations       | P1 - Should test well     | CONCERNS if gaps         |
+| **4**          | Medium combinations            | P1 - Should test          | CONCERNS if notable gaps |
+| **2-3**        | Low-medium combinations        | P2 - Nice to have         | Note in review           |
+| **1**          | Minimal risk                   | P2 - Minimal              | Note in review           |
+
+### Special Situations & Best Practices
+
+#### High-Risk or Brownfield Stories
+
+```bash
+# ALWAYS run this sequence:
+@qa *risk {story}    # First - identify dangers
+@qa *design {story}  # Second - plan defense
+# Then during dev:
+@qa *trace {story}   # Verify regression coverage
+@qa *nfr {story}     # Check performance impact
+# Finally:
+@qa *review {story}  # Deep integration analysis
+```
+
+#### Complex Integrations
+
+- Run `*trace` multiple times during development
+- Focus on integration test coverage
+- Use `*nfr` to validate cross-system performance
+- Review with extra attention to API contracts
+
+#### Performance-Critical Features
+
+- Run `*nfr` early and often (not just at review)
+- Establish performance baselines before changes
+- Document acceptable performance degradation
+- Consider load testing requirements in `*design`
+
+### Test Quality Standards Enforced
+
+Quinn ensures all tests meet these standards:
+
+- **No Flaky Tests**: Proper async handling, explicit waits
+- **No Hard Waits**: Dynamic strategies only (polling, events)
+- **Stateless**: Tests run independently and in parallel
+- **Self-Cleaning**: Tests manage their own test data
+- **Appropriate Levels**: Unit for logic, integration for interactions, E2E for journeys
+- **Clear Assertions**: Keep assertions in tests, not buried in helpers
+
+### Documentation & Audit Trail
+
+All Test Architect activities create permanent records:
+
+- **Assessment Reports**: Timestamped analysis in `docs/qa/assessments/`
+- **Gate Files**: Decision records in `docs/qa/gates/`
+- **Story Updates**: QA Results sections in story files
+- **Traceability**: Requirements to test mapping maintained
+
+## Commit Changes and Push
+
+1. **Commit changes**
+2. **Push to remote**
+
+## Complete Development Cycle Flow
+
+### The Full Workflow with Test Architect
+
+1. **SM**: Create next story → Review → Approve
+2. **QA (Optional)**: Risk assessment (`*risk`) → Test design (`*design`)
+3. **Dev**: Implement story → Write tests → Complete
+4. **QA (Optional)**: Mid-dev checks (`*trace`, `*nfr`)
+5. **Dev**: Mark Ready for Review
+6. **QA (Required)**: Review story (`*review`) → Gate decision
+7. **Dev (If needed)**: Address issues
+8. **QA (If needed)**: Update gate (`*gate`)
+9. **Commit**: All changes
+10. **Push**: To remote
+11. **Continue**: Until all features implemented
+
+### Quick Decision Guide
+
+**Should I run Test Architect commands?**

+| **Data migration**       | **Required** `*risk`, `*design` | **Required** `*trace`        | Required `*review` + `*gate` |
+
+### Success Metrics
+
+The Test Architect helps achieve:
+
+- **Zero regression defects** in production
+- **100% requirements coverage** with tests
+- **Clear quality gates** for go/no-go decisions
+- **Documented risk acceptance** for technical debt
+- **Consistent test quality** across the team
+- **Shift-left testing** with early risk identification

+# BMad Method — User Guide
+
+This guide will help you understand and effectively use the BMad Method for agile AI-driven planning and development.
+
+## The BMad Plan and Execute Workflow
+
+First, here is the full standard Greenfield Planning + Execution Workflow. Brownfield is very similar, but it's suggested to understand this greenfield first, even if on a simple project before tackling a brownfield project. The BMad Method needs to be installed to the root of your new project folder. For the planning phase, you can optionally perform it with powerful web agents, potentially resulting in higher quality results at a fraction of the cost it would take to complete if providing your own API key or credits in some Agentic tools. For planning, powerful thinking models and larger context - along with working as a partner with the agents will net the best results.
+
+If you are going to use the BMad Method with a Brownfield project (an existing project), review **[Working in the Brownfield](./working-in-the-brownfield.md)**.
+
+If the diagrams below don't render, install Markdown All in One along with the Markdown Preview Mermaid Support plugins to VSCode (or one of the forked clones). With these plugins, if you right click on the tab when open, there should be an Open Preview option, or check the IDE documentation.
+
+### The Planning Workflow (Web UI or Powerful IDE Agents)
+
+Before development begins, BMad follows a structured planning workflow that's ideally done in web UI for cost efficiency:
+
+```mermaid

+    style O fill:#f9ab00,color:#fff
+    style P fill:#34a853,color:#fff
+```
+
+#### Web UI to IDE Transition
+
+**Critical Transition Point**: Once the PO confirms document alignment, you must switch from web UI to IDE to begin the development workflow:
+
+1. **Copy Documents to Project**: Ensure `docs/prd.md` and `docs/architecture.md` are in your project's docs folder (or a custom location you can specify during installation)
+2. **Switch to IDE**: Open your project in your preferred Agentic IDE
+3. **Document Sharding**: Use the PO agent to shard the PRD and then the Architecture
+4. **Begin Development**: Start the Core Development Cycle that follows
+
+#### Planning Artifacts (Standard Paths)
+
+```text
+PRD              → docs/prd.md
+Architecture     → docs/architecture.md
+Sharded Epics    → docs/epics/
+Sharded Stories  → docs/stories/
+QA Assessments   → docs/qa/assessments/
+QA Gates         → docs/qa/gates/
+```
+
+### The Core Development Cycle (IDE)
+
+Once planning is complete and documents are sharded, BMad follows a structured development workflow:
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    A["Development Phase Start"] --> B["SM: Reviews Previous Story Dev/QA Notes"]
+    B --> B2["SM: Drafts Next Story from Sharded Epic + Architecture"]

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before installing BMad Method, ensure you have:
+
+- **Node.js** ≥ 18, **npm** ≥ 9
+- **Git** installed and configured
+- **(Optional)** VS Code with "Markdown All in One" + "Markdown Preview Mermaid Support" extensions
+
+## Installation
+
+### Optional
+
+If you want to do the planning on the web with Claude (Sonnet 4 or Opus), Gemini Gem (2.5 Pro), or Custom GPTs:
+
+1. Navigate to `dist/teams/`
+2. Copy `team-fullstack.txt`
+3. Create new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
+4. Upload file with instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
+5. Type `/help` to see available commands
+
+### IDE Project Setup
+
+```bash
+# Interactive installation (recommended)
+npx bmad-method install
+```
+
+## Special Agents
+
+There are two BMad agents — in the future they'll be consolidated into a single BMad-Master.
+
+### BMad-Master
+
+This agent can do any task or command that all other agents can do, aside from actual story implementation. Additionally, this agent can help explain the BMad Method when on the web by accessing the knowledge base and explaining anything to you about the process.
+
+If you don't want to bother switching between different agents aside from the dev, this is the agent for you. Just remember that as the context grows, the performance of the agent degrades, therefore it is important to instruct the agent to compact the conversation and start a new conversation with the compacted conversation as the initial message. Do this often, preferably after each story is implemented.
+
+### BMad-Orchestrator
+
+This agent should NOT be used within the IDE, it is a heavyweight, special-purpose agent that utilizes a lot of context and can morph into any other agent. This exists solely to facilitate the teams within the web bundles. If you use a web bundle you will be greeted by the BMad Orchestrator.
+
+### How Agents Work
+
+#### Dependencies System
+
+Each agent has a YAML section that defines its dependencies:
+
+```yaml
+dependencies:
+  templates:
+    - prd-template.md
+    - user-story-template.md
+  tasks:
+    - create-doc.md
+    - shard-doc.md
+  data:
+    - bmad-kb.md
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+
+- Agents only load resources they need (lean context)
+- Dependencies are automatically resolved during bundling
+- Resources are shared across agents to maintain consistency
+
+#### Agent Interaction
+
+**In IDE:**
+
+```bash
+# Some IDEs, like Cursor or Windsurf for example, utilize manual rules so interaction is done with the '@' symbol
+@pm Create a PRD for a task management app
+@architect Design the system architecture
+@dev Implement the user authentication
+
+# Some IDEs, like Claude Code, use slash commands instead
+/pm Create user stories
+/dev Fix the login bug
+```
+
+#### Interactive Modes
+
+- **Incremental Mode**: Step-by-step with user input
+- **YOLO Mode**: Rapid generation with minimal interaction
+
+## IDE Integration
+
+### IDE Best Practices
+
+- **Context Management**: Keep relevant files only in context, keep files as lean and focused as necessary
+- **Agent Selection**: Use appropriate agent for task
+- **Iterative Development**: Work in small, focused tasks
+- **File Organization**: Maintain clean project structure
+- **Commit Regularly**: Save your work frequently
+
+## The Test Architect (QA Agent)
+
+### Overview
+
+The QA agent in BMad is not just a "senior developer reviewer" - it's a **Test Architect** with deep expertise in test strategy, quality gates, and risk-based testing. Named Quinn, this agent provides advisory authority on quality matters while actively improving code when safe to do so.
+
+#### Quick Start (Essential Commands)
+
+```bash
+@qa *risk {story}       # Assess risks before development
+@qa *design {story}     # Create test strategy
+@qa *trace {story}      # Verify test coverage during dev
+@qa *nfr {story}        # Check quality attributes
+@qa *review {story}     # Full assessment → writes gate
+```
+
+#### Command Aliases (Test Architect)
+
+The documentation uses short forms for convenience. Both styles are valid:
+
+```text
+*risk    → *risk-profile
+*design  → *test-design
+*nfr     → *nfr-assess
+*trace   → *trace-requirements (or just *trace)
+*review  → *review
+*gate    → *gate
+```
+
+### Core Capabilities
+
+#### 1. Risk Profiling (`*risk`)
+
+**When:** After story draft, before development begins (earliest intervention point)
+
+Identifies and assesses implementation risks:
+
+- **Categories**: Technical, Security, Performance, Data, Business, Operational
+- **Scoring**: Probability × Impact analysis (1-9 scale)
+- **Mitigation**: Specific strategies for each identified risk
+- **Gate Impact**: Risks ≥9 trigger FAIL, ≥6 trigger CONCERNS (see `tasks/risk-profile.md` for authoritative rules)
+
+#### 2. Test Design (`*design`)
+
+**When:** After story draft, before development begins (guides what tests to write)
+
+Creates comprehensive test strategies including:
+
+- Test scenarios for each acceptance criterion
+- Appropriate test level recommendations (unit vs integration vs E2E)
+- Risk-based prioritization (P0/P1/P2)
+- Test data requirements and mock strategies
+- Execution strategies for CI/CD integration
+
+**Example output:**
+
+```yaml
+test_summary:
+  total: 24
+  by_level:
+    unit: 15
+    integration: 7
+    e2e: 2
+  by_priority:
+    P0: 8 # Must have - linked to critical risks
+    P1: 10 # Should have - medium risks
+    P2: 6 # Nice to have - low risks
+```
+
+#### 3. Requirements Tracing (`*trace`)
+
+**When:** During development (mid-implementation checkpoint)
+
+Maps requirements to test coverage:
+
+- Documents which tests validate each acceptance criterion
+- Uses Given-When-Then for clarity (documentation only, not BDD code)
+- Identifies coverage gaps with severity ratings
+- Creates traceability matrix for audit purposes
+
+#### 4. NFR Assessment (`*nfr`)
+
+**When:** During development or early review (validate quality attributes)
+
+Validates non-functional requirements:
+
+- **Core Four**: Security, Performance, Reliability, Maintainability
+- **Evidence-Based**: Looks for actual implementation proof
+- **Gate Integration**: NFR failures directly impact quality gates
+
+#### 5. Comprehensive Test Architecture Review (`*review`)
+
+**When:** After development complete, story marked "Ready for Review"
+
+When you run `@qa *review {story}`, Quinn performs:
+
+- **Requirements Traceability**: Maps every acceptance criterion to its validating tests
+- **Test Level Analysis**: Ensures appropriate testing at unit, integration, and E2E levels
+- **Coverage Assessment**: Identifies gaps and redundant test coverage
+- **Active Refactoring**: Improves code quality directly when safe
+- **Quality Gate Decision**: Issues PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL status based on findings
+
+#### 6. Quality Gates (`*gate`)
+
+**When:** After review fixes or when gate status needs updating
+
+Manages quality gate decisions:
+
+- **Deterministic Rules**: Clear criteria for PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL
+- **Parallel Authority**: QA owns gate files in `docs/qa/gates/`
+- **Advisory Nature**: Provides recommendations, not blocks
+- **Waiver Support**: Documents accepted risks when needed
+
+**Note:** Gates are advisory; teams choose their quality bar. WAIVED requires reason, approver, and expiry date. See `templates/qa-gate-tmpl.yaml` for schema and `tasks/review-story.md` (gate rules) and `tasks/risk-profile.md` for scoring.
+
+### Working with the Test Architect
+
+#### Integration with BMad Workflow
+
+The Test Architect provides value throughout the entire development lifecycle. Here's when and how to leverage each capability:
+
+| **Stage**          | **Command** | **When to Use**         | **Value**                  | **Output**                                                     |
+| ------------------ | ----------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Story Drafting** | `*risk`     | After SM drafts story   | Identify pitfalls early    | `docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-risk-{YYYYMMDD}.md`        |
+|                    | `*design`   | After risk assessment   | Guide dev on test strategy | `docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-test-design-{YYYYMMDD}.md` |
+| **Development**    | `*trace`    | Mid-implementation      | Verify test coverage       | `docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-trace-{YYYYMMDD}.md`       |
+|                    | `*nfr`      | While building features | Catch quality issues early | `docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-{YYYYMMDD}.md`         |
+| **Review**         | `*review`   | Story marked complete   | Full quality assessment    | QA Results in story + gate file                                |
+| **Post-Review**    | `*gate`     | After fixing issues     | Update quality decision    | Updated `docs/qa/gates/{epic}.{story}-{slug}.yml`              |
+
+#### Example Commands
+
+```bash
+# Planning Stage - Run these BEFORE development starts
+@qa *risk {draft-story}     # What could go wrong?
+@qa *design {draft-story}   # What tests should we write?
+
+# Development Stage - Run these DURING coding
+@qa *trace {story}          # Are we testing everything?
+@qa *nfr {story}            # Are we meeting quality standards?
+
+# Review Stage - Run when development complete
+@qa *review {story}         # Comprehensive assessment + refactoring
+
+# Post-Review - Run after addressing issues
+@qa *gate {story}           # Update gate status
+```
+
+### Quality Standards Enforced
+
+Quinn enforces these test quality principles:
+
+- **No Flaky Tests**: Ensures reliability through proper async handling
+- **No Hard Waits**: Dynamic waiting strategies only
+- **Stateless & Parallel-Safe**: Tests run independently
+- **Self-Cleaning**: Tests manage their own test data
+- **Appropriate Test Levels**: Unit for logic, integration for interactions, E2E for journeys
+- **Explicit Assertions**: Keep assertions in tests, not helpers
+
+### Gate Status Meanings
+
+- **PASS**: All critical requirements met, no blocking issues
+- **CONCERNS**: Non-critical issues found, team should review
+- **FAIL**: Critical issues that should be addressed (security risks, missing P0 tests)
+- **WAIVED**: Issues acknowledged but explicitly accepted by team
+
+### Special Situations
+
+**High-Risk Stories:**
+
+- Always run `*risk` and `*design` before development starts
+- Consider mid-development `*trace` and `*nfr` checkpoints
+
+**Complex Integrations:**
+
+- Run `*trace` during development to ensure all integration points tested
+- Follow up with `*nfr` to validate performance across integrations
+
+**Performance-Critical:**
+
+- Run `*nfr` early and often during development
+- Don't wait until review to discover performance issues
+
+**Brownfield/Legacy Code:**
+
+- Start with `*risk` to identify regression dangers
+- Use `*review` with extra focus on backward compatibility
+
+### Best Practices
+
+- **Early Engagement**: Run `*design` and `*risk` during story drafting
+- **Risk-Based Focus**: Let risk scores drive test prioritization
+- **Iterative Improvement**: Use QA feedback to improve future stories
+- **Gate Transparency**: Share gate decisions with the team
+- **Continuous Learning**: QA documents patterns for team knowledge sharing
+- **Brownfield Care**: Pay extra attention to regression risks in existing systems
+
+### Output Paths Reference
+
+Quick reference for where Test Architect outputs are stored:
+
+```text
+*risk-profile  → docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-risk-{YYYYMMDD}.md
+*test-design   → docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-test-design-{YYYYMMDD}.md
+*trace         → docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-trace-{YYYYMMDD}.md
+*nfr-assess    → docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-{YYYYMMDD}.md
+*review        → QA Results section in story + gate file reference
+*gate          → docs/qa/gates/{epic}.{story}-{slug}.yml
+```
+
+## Technical Preferences System
+
+BMad includes a personalization system through the `technical-preferences.md` file located in `.bmad-core/data/` - this can help bias the PM and Architect to recommend your preferences for design patterns, technology selection, or anything else you would like to put in here.
+
+### Using with Web Bundles
+
+When creating custom web bundles or uploading to AI platforms, include your `technical-preferences.md` content to ensure agents have your preferences from the start of any conversation.
+
+## Core Configuration
+
+The `bmad-core/core-config.yaml` file is a critical config that enables BMad to work seamlessly with differing project structures, more options will be made available in the future. Currently the most important is the devLoadAlwaysFiles list section in the yaml.
+
+### Developer Context Files
+
+Define which files the dev agent should always load:
+
+```yaml
+devLoadAlwaysFiles:
+  - docs/architecture/coding-standards.md
+  - docs/architecture/tech-stack.md
+  - docs/architecture/project-structure.md
+```
+
+You will want to verify from sharding your architecture that these documents exist, that they are as lean as possible, and contain exactly the information you want your dev agent to ALWAYS load into its context. These are the rules the agent will follow.
+
+As your project grows and the code starts to build consistent patterns, coding standards should be reduced to include only the standards the agent still needs enforced. The agent will look at surrounding code in files to infer the coding standards that are relevant to the current task.

+# Working in the Brownfield: A Complete Guide
+
+> **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Use Gemini Web or Gemini CLI for Brownfield Documentation Generation!**
+>
+> Gemini Web's 1M+ token context window or Gemini CLI (when it's working) can analyze your ENTIRE codebase, or critical sections of it, all at once (obviously within reason):
+>
+> - Upload via GitHub URL or use gemini cli in the project folder
+> - If working in the web: use `npx bmad-method flatten` to flatten your project into a single file, then upload that file to your web agent.
+
+## What is Brownfield Development?
+
+Brownfield development refers to adding features, fixing bugs, or modernizing existing software projects. Unlike greenfield (new) projects, brownfield work requires understanding existing code, respecting constraints, and ensuring new changes integrate seamlessly without breaking existing functionality.
+
+## When to Use BMad for Brownfield
+
+- Add significant new features to existing applications
+- Modernize legacy codebases
+- Integrate new technologies or services
+- Refactor complex systems
+- Fix bugs that require architectural understanding
+- Document undocumented systems
+
+## When NOT to use a Brownfield Flow
+
+If you have just completed an MVP with BMad, and you want to continue with post-MVP, its easier to just talk to the PM and ask it to work with you to create a new epic to add into the PRD, shard out the epic, update any architecture documents with the architect, and just go from there.
+
+## The Complete Brownfield Workflow
+
+1. **Follow the [<ins>User Guide - Installation</ins>](user-guide.md#installation) steps to setup your agent in the web.**
+2. **Generate a 'flattened' single file of your entire codebase** run: `npx bmad-method flatten`
+
+### Choose Your Approach
+
+#### Approach A: PRD-First (Recommended if adding very large and complex new features, single or multiple epics or massive changes)
+
+**Best for**: Large codebases, monorepos, or when you know exactly what you want to build
+
+1. **Create PRD First** to define requirements
+2. **Document only relevant areas** based on PRD needs
+3. **More efficient** - avoids documenting unused code
+
+#### Approach B: Document-First (Good for Smaller Projects)
+
+**Best for**: Smaller codebases, unknown systems, or exploratory changes
+
+1. **Document entire system** first
+2. **Create PRD** with full context
+3. **More thorough** - captures everything
+
+### Approach A: PRD-First Workflow (Recommended)
+
+#### Phase 1: Define Requirements First
+
+**In Gemini Web (with your flattened-codebase.xml uploaded):**
+
+```bash
+@pm
+*create-brownfield-prd
+```
+
+The PM will:
+
+- **Ask about your enhancement** requirements
+- **Explore the codebase** to understand current state
+- **Identify affected areas** that need documentation
+- **Create focused PRD** with clear scope
+
+**Key Advantage**: The PRD identifies which parts of your monorepo/large codebase actually need documentation!
+
+#### Phase 2: Focused Documentation
+
+**Still in Gemini Web, now with PRD context:**
+
+```bash
+@architect
+*document-project
+```
+
+The architect will:
+
+- **Ask about your focus** if no PRD was provided
+- **Offer options**: Create PRD, provide requirements, or describe the enhancement
+- **Reference the PRD/description** to understand scope
+- **Focus on relevant modules** identified in PRD or your description
+- **Skip unrelated areas** to keep docs lean
+- **Generate ONE architecture document** for all environments
+
+The architect creates:
+
+- **One comprehensive architecture document** following fullstack-architecture template
+- **Covers all system aspects** in a single file
+- **Easy to copy and save** as `docs/architecture.md`
+- **Can be sharded later** in IDE if desired
+
+For example, if you say "Add payment processing to user service":
+
+- Documents only: user service, API endpoints, database schemas, payment integrations
+- Creates focused source tree showing only payment-related code paths
+- Skips: admin panels, reporting modules, unrelated microservices
+
+### Approach B: Document-First Workflow
+
+#### Phase 1: Document the Existing System
+
+**Best Approach - Gemini Web with 1M+ Context**:
+
+1. **Go to Gemini Web** (gemini.google.com)
+2. **Upload your project**:
+   - **Option A**: Paste your GitHub repository URL directly
+   - **Option B**: Upload your flattened-codebase.xml file
+3. **Load the architect agent**: Upload `dist/agents/architect.txt`
+4. **Run documentation**: Type `*document-project`
+
+The architect will generate comprehensive documentation of everything.
+
+#### Phase 2: Plan Your Enhancement
+
+##### Option A: Full Brownfield Workflow (Recommended for Major Changes)
+
+**1. Create Brownfield PRD**:
+
+```bash
+@pm
+*create-brownfield-prd
+```
+
+The PM agent will:
+
+- **Analyze existing documentation** from Phase 1
+- **Request specific enhancement details** from you
+- **Assess complexity** and recommend approach
+- **Create epic/story structure** for the enhancement
+- **Identify risks and integration points**
+
+**How PM Agent Gets Project Context**:
+
+- In Gemini Web: Already has full project context from Phase 1 documentation
+- In IDE: Will ask "Please provide the path to your existing project documentation"
+
+**Key Prompts You'll Encounter**:
+
+- "What specific enhancement or feature do you want to add?"
+- "Are there any existing systems or APIs this needs to integrate with?"
+- "What are the critical constraints we must respect?"
+- "What is your timeline and team size?"
+
+**2. Create Brownfield Architecture**:
+
+```bash
+@architect
+*create-brownfield-architecture
+```
+
+The architect will:
+
+- **Review the brownfield PRD**
+- **Design integration strategy**
+- **Plan migration approach** if needed
+- **Identify technical risks**
+- **Define compatibility requirements**
+
+##### Option B: Quick Enhancement (For Focused Changes)
+
+**For Single Epic Without Full PRD**:
+
+```bash
+@pm
+*create-brownfield-epic
+```
+
+Use when:
+
+- Enhancement is well-defined and isolated
+- Existing documentation is comprehensive
+- Changes don't impact multiple systems
+- You need quick turnaround
+
+**For Single Story**:
+
+```bash
+@pm
+*create-brownfield-story
+```
+
+Use when:
+
+- Bug fix or tiny feature
+- Very isolated change
+- No architectural impact
+- Clear implementation path
+
+### Phase 3: Validate Planning Artifacts
+
+```bash
+@po
+*execute-checklist-po
+```
+
+The PO ensures:
+
+- Compatibility with existing system
+- No breaking changes planned
+- Risk mitigation strategies in place
+- Clear integration approach
+
+### Phase 4: Save and Shard Documents
+
+1. Save your PRD and Architecture as:
+   docs/prd.md
+   docs/architecture.md
+   (Note: You can optionally prefix with 'brownfield-' if managing multiple versions)
+2. Shard your docs:
+   In your IDE
+
+   ```bash
+   @po
+   shard docs/prd.md
+   ```
+
+   ```bash
+   @po
+   shard docs/architecture.md
+   ```
+
+### Phase 5: Transition to Development
+
+**Follow the [<ins>Enhanced IDE Development Workflow</ins>](enhanced-ide-development-workflow.md)**
+
+## Brownfield Best Practices
+
+### 1. Always Document First
+
+Even if you think you know the codebase:
+
+- Run `document-project` to capture current state
+- AI agents need this context
+- Discovers undocumented patterns
+
+### 2. Respect Existing Patterns
+
+The brownfield templates specifically look for:
+
+- Current coding conventions
+- Existing architectural patterns
+- Technology constraints
+- Team preferences
+
+### 3. Plan for Gradual Rollout
+
+Brownfield changes should:
+
+- Support feature flags
+- Plan rollback strategies
+- Include migration scripts
+- Maintain backwards compatibility
+
+### 4. Test Integration Thoroughly
+
+#### Why the Test Architect is Critical for Brownfield
+
+In brownfield projects, the Test Architect (Quinn) becomes your safety net against breaking existing functionality. Unlike greenfield where you're building fresh, brownfield requires careful validation that new changes don't destabilize what already works.
+
+#### Brownfield-Specific Testing Challenges
+
+The Test Architect addresses unique brownfield complexities:
+
+| **Challenge**               | **How Test Architect Helps**                      | **Command**         |
+| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
+| **Regression Risks**        | Identifies which existing features might break    | `*risk`             |
+| **Legacy Dependencies**     | Maps integration points and hidden dependencies   | `*trace`            |
+| **Performance Degradation** | Validates no slowdown in existing flows           | `*nfr`              |
+| **Coverage Gaps**           | Finds untested legacy code that new changes touch | `*design`           |
+| **Breaking Changes**        | Detects API/contract violations                   | `*review`           |
+| **Migration Safety**        | Validates data transformations and rollback plans | `*risk` + `*review` |
+
+#### Complete Test Architect Workflow for Brownfield
+
+##### Stage 1: Before Development (Risk & Strategy)
+
+**CRITICAL FOR BROWNFIELD - Run These First:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. RISK ASSESSMENT (Run IMMEDIATELY after story creation)
+@qa *risk {brownfield-story}
+# Identifies: Legacy dependencies, breaking changes, integration points
+# Output: docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-risk-{YYYYMMDD}.md
+# Brownfield Focus:
+#   - Regression probability scoring
+#   - Affected downstream systems
+#   - Data migration risks
+#   - Rollback complexity
+
+# 2. TEST DESIGN (After risk assessment)
+@qa *design {brownfield-story}
+# Creates: Regression test strategy + new feature tests
+# Output: docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-test-design-{YYYYMMDD}.md
+# Brownfield Focus:
+#   - Existing functionality that needs regression tests
+#   - Integration test requirements
+#   - Performance benchmarks to maintain
+#   - Feature flag test scenarios
+```
+
+##### Stage 2: During Development (Continuous Validation)
+
+**Monitor Integration Health While Coding:**
+
+```bash
+# 3. REQUIREMENTS TRACING (Mid-development checkpoint)
+@qa *trace {brownfield-story}
+# Maps: New requirements + existing functionality preservation
+# Output: docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-trace-{YYYYMMDD}.md
+# Brownfield Focus:
+#   - Existing features that must still work
+#   - New/old feature interactions
+#   - API contract preservation
+#   - Missing regression test coverage
+
+# 4. NFR VALIDATION (Before considering "done")
+@qa *nfr {brownfield-story}
+# Validates: Performance, security, reliability unchanged
+# Output: docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-{YYYYMMDD}.md
+# Brownfield Focus:
+#   - Performance regression detection
+#   - Security implications of integrations
+#   - Backward compatibility validation
+#   - Load/stress on legacy components
+```
+
+##### Stage 3: Code Review (Deep Integration Analysis)
+
+**Comprehensive Brownfield Review:**
+
+```bash
+# 5. FULL REVIEW (When development complete)
+@qa *review {brownfield-story}
+# Performs: Deep analysis + active refactoring
+# Outputs:
+#   - QA Results in story file
+#   - Gate file: docs/qa/gates/{epic}.{story}-{slug}.yml
+```
+
+The review specifically analyzes:
+
+- **API Breaking Changes**: Validates all existing contracts maintained
+- **Data Migration Safety**: Checks transformation logic and rollback procedures
+- **Performance Regression**: Compares against baseline metrics
+- **Integration Points**: Validates all touchpoints with legacy code
+- **Feature Flag Logic**: Ensures proper toggle behavior
+- **Dependency Impacts**: Maps affected downstream systems
+
+##### Stage 4: Post-Review (Gate Updates)
+
+```bash
+# 6. GATE STATUS UPDATE (After addressing issues)
+@qa *gate {brownfield-story}
+# Updates: Quality gate decision after fixes
+# Output: docs/qa/gates/{epic}.{story}-{slug}.yml
+# Brownfield Considerations:
+#   - May WAIVE certain legacy code issues
+#   - Documents technical debt acceptance
+#   - Tracks migration progress
+```
+
+#### Brownfield-Specific Risk Scoring
+
+The Test Architect uses enhanced risk scoring for brownfield:
+
+| **Risk Category**      | **Brownfield Factors**                     | **Impact on Gate**  |
+| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------- |
+| **Regression Risk**    | Number of integration points × Age of code | Score ≥9 = FAIL     |
+| **Data Risk**          | Migration complexity × Data volume         | Score ≥6 = CONCERNS |
+| **Performance Risk**   | Current load × Added complexity            | Score ≥6 = CONCERNS |
+| **Compatibility Risk** | API consumers × Contract changes           | Score ≥9 = FAIL     |
+
+#### Brownfield Testing Standards
+
+Quinn enforces additional standards for brownfield:
+
+- **Regression Test Coverage**: Every touched legacy module needs tests
+- **Performance Baselines**: Must maintain or improve current metrics
+- **Rollback Procedures**: Every change needs a rollback plan
+- **Feature Flags**: All risky changes behind toggles
+- **Integration Tests**: Cover all legacy touchpoints
+- **Contract Tests**: Validate API compatibility
+- **Data Validation**: Migration correctness checks
+
+#### Quick Reference: Brownfield Test Commands
+
+| **Scenario**                      | **Commands to Run**                                  | **Order**  | **Why Critical**              |
+| --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------- |

+
+2. **Adding Features to Monolith**
+   - `*risk` identifies integration complexity
+   - `*design` plans isolation strategies
+   - `*nfr` monitors performance impact
+   - `*review` validates no monolith degradation
+
+3. **Microservice Extraction**
+   - `*risk` maps service boundaries
+   - `*trace` ensures functionality preservation
+   - `*nfr` validates network overhead acceptable
+   - `*gate` documents accepted trade-offs
+
+4. **Database Schema Changes**

+
+## Common Brownfield Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Adding a New Feature
+
+1. Document existing system
+2. Create brownfield PRD focusing on integration
+3. **Test Architect Early Involvement**:
+   - Run `@qa *risk` on draft stories to identify integration risks
+   - Use `@qa *design` to plan regression test strategy
+4. Architecture emphasizes compatibility
+5. Stories include integration tasks with test requirements
+6. **During Development**:
+   - Developer runs `@qa *trace` to verify coverage
+   - Use `@qa *nfr` to monitor performance impact
+7. **Review Stage**: `@qa *review` validates integration safety
+
+### Scenario 2: Modernizing Legacy Code
+
+1. Extensive documentation phase
+2. PRD includes migration strategy
+3. **Test Architect Strategy Planning**:
+   - `@qa *risk` assesses modernization complexity
+   - `@qa *design` plans parallel testing approach
+4. Architecture plans gradual transition (strangler fig pattern)
+5. Stories follow incremental modernization with:
+   - Regression tests for untouched legacy code
+   - Integration tests for new/old boundaries
+   - Performance benchmarks at each stage
+6. **Continuous Validation**: Run `@qa *trace` after each increment
+7. **Gate Management**: Use `@qa *gate` to track technical debt acceptance
+
+### Scenario 3: Bug Fix in Complex System
+
+1. Document relevant subsystems
+2. Use `create-brownfield-story` for focused fix
+3. **Test Architect Risk Assessment**: Run `@qa *risk` to identify side effect potential
+4. Include regression test requirements from `@qa *design` output
+5. **During Fix**: Use `@qa *trace` to map affected functionality
+6. **Before Commit**: Run `@qa *review` for comprehensive validation
+7. Test Architect validates no side effects using:
+   - Risk profiling for side effect analysis (probability × impact scoring)
+   - Trace matrix to ensure fix doesn't break related features
+   - NFR assessment to verify performance/security unchanged
+   - Gate decision documents fix safety
+
+### Scenario 4: API Integration
+
+1. Document existing API patterns
+2. PRD defines integration requirements
+3. **Test Architect Contract Analysis**:
+   - `@qa *risk` identifies breaking change potential
+   - `@qa *design` creates contract test strategy
+4. Architecture ensures consistent patterns
+5. **API Testing Focus**:
+   - Contract tests for backward compatibility
+   - Integration tests for new endpoints
+   - Performance tests for added load
+6. Stories include API documentation updates
+7. **Validation Checkpoints**:
+   - `@qa *trace` maps all API consumers
+   - `@qa *nfr` validates response times
+   - `@qa *review` ensures no breaking changes
+8. **Gate Decision**: Document any accepted breaking changes with migration path
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "The AI doesn't understand my codebase"
+
+**Solution**: Re-run `document-project` with more specific paths to critical files
+
+### "Generated plans don't fit our patterns"
+
+**Solution**: Update generated documentation with your specific conventions before planning phase
+
+### "Too much boilerplate for small changes"
+
+**Solution**: Use `create-brownfield-story` instead of full workflow
+
+### "Integration points unclear"
+
+**Solution**: Provide more context during PRD creation, specifically highlighting integration systems
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Brownfield-Specific Commands
+
+```bash
+# Document existing project
+@architect *document-project
+
+# Create enhancement PRD
+@pm *create-brownfield-prd
+
+# Create architecture with integration focus
+@architect *create-brownfield-architecture
+
+# Quick epic creation
+@pm *create-brownfield-epic
+
+# Single story creation
+@pm *create-brownfield-story
+```
+
+### Test Architect Commands for Brownfield
+
+Note: Short forms shown below. Full commands: `*risk-profile`, `*test-design`, `*nfr-assess`, `*trace-requirements`
+
+```bash
+# BEFORE DEVELOPMENT (Planning)
+@qa *risk {story}     # Assess regression & integration risks
+@qa *design {story}   # Plan regression + new feature tests
+
+# DURING DEVELOPMENT (Validation)
+@qa *trace {story}    # Verify coverage of old + new
+@qa *nfr {story}      # Check performance degradation
+
+# AFTER DEVELOPMENT (Review)
+@qa *review {story}   # Deep integration analysis
+@qa *gate {story}     # Update quality decision
+```
+
+### Decision Tree
+
+```text
+Do you have a large codebase or monorepo?
+├─ Yes → PRD-First Approach
+│   └─ Create PRD → Document only affected areas
+└─ No → Is the codebase well-known to you?
+    ├─ Yes → PRD-First Approach
+    └─ No → Document-First Approach
+
+Is this a major enhancement affecting multiple systems?
+├─ Yes → Full Brownfield Workflow
+│   └─ ALWAYS run Test Architect *risk + *design first
+└─ No → Is this more than a simple bug fix?
+    ├─ Yes → *create-brownfield-epic
+    │   └─ Run Test Architect *risk for integration points
+    └─ No → *create-brownfield-story
+        └─ Still run *risk if touching critical paths
+
+Does the change touch legacy code?
+├─ Yes → Test Architect is MANDATORY
+│   ├─ *risk → Identify regression potential
+│   ├─ *design → Plan test coverage
+│   └─ *review → Validate no breakage
+└─ No → Test Architect is RECOMMENDED
+    └─ *review → Ensure quality standards
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Brownfield development with BMad Method provides structure and safety when modifying existing systems. The Test Architect becomes your critical safety net, using risk assessment, regression testing, and continuous validation to ensure new changes don't destabilize existing functionality.
+
+**The Brownfield Success Formula:**
+
+1. **Document First** - Understand what exists
+2. **Assess Risk Early** - Use Test Architect `*risk` before coding
+3. **Plan Test Strategy** - Design regression + new feature tests
+4. **Validate Continuously** - Check integration health during development
+5. **Review Comprehensively** - Deep analysis before committing
+6. **Gate Decisively** - Document quality decisions
+
+Remember: **In brownfield, the Test Architect isn't optional - it's your insurance policy against breaking production.**
