release: bump to v6.0.0-alpha.5

## Major Improvements

### 1. Elicitation System Modernization
- Removed legacy `<elicit-required />` tag from workflow.xml
- Replaced with direct `<invoke-task halt="true">{project-root}/bmad/core/tasks/adv-elicit.xml</invoke-task>` pattern
- More explicit, self-documenting, and eliminates indirection layer
- Added strategic elicitation points across all planning workflows:
  - PRD: After success criteria, scope, functional requirements, and final review
  - Create-Epics-And-Stories: After epic proposals and each epic's stories
  - Architecture: After decisions, structure, patterns, implementation patterns, and final doc
  - Updated audit-workflow tag scanner to remove obsolete elicit-required reference

### 2. Input Document Discovery Streamlined
- Replaced verbose 19-line "Input Document Discovery" sections with single critical tag
- New format: `<critical>Input documents specified in workflow.yaml input_file_patterns...</critical>`
- Eliminates duplication - workflow.yaml already defines patterns
- Updated across 6 workflows (PRD, create-epics-and-stories, architecture, tech-spec, UX, gate-check)
- Saved ~114 lines of repeated bloat

### 3. Scale System Migration (Levels 0-4 → 3 Tracks)
- Updated PRD workflow from "Level 0-4" to "Quick Flow / BMad Method / Enterprise Method"
- Changed `project_level` variable to `project_track`
- Removed `target_scale` variable (no longer needed)
- Updated workflow.yaml descriptions to reference tracks not levels
- Updated checklist from "Level 2" and "Level 3-4" to "BMad Method" and "Enterprise Method"
- Aligns with new scale-adaptive-system.md (3-track methodology)

### 4. Epic/Story Template Standardization
- Replaced hardcoded 8-epic template with clean repeating pattern using N/M variables
- Added BDD-style acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then/And)
- Removed instructional bloat from templates (moved to instructions.md where it belongs)
- Template shows OUTPUT structure, instructions show PROCESS
- Applied to both create-epics-and-stories and tech-spec workflows
- Templates now use HTML comments to indicate repeating sections

### 5. Workflow.yaml Pattern Consistency
- Standardized input_file_patterns across all workflows
- Separated `recommended_inputs` (semantic WHAT) from `input_file_patterns` (file discovery WHERE)
- Removed duplication between recommended_inputs file paths and input_file_patterns
- Create-epics-and-stories now uses proper whole/sharded pattern like architecture workflow
- Solutioning-gate-check cleaned up to use semantic descriptions not file paths

## Files Changed (18)
- Core: workflow.xml (removed elicit-required tag and references)
- Audit workflow: Updated tag pattern scanner
- PRD workflow: Elicitation points, track migration, input discovery
- Create-epics-and-stories: Template rebuild, BDD format, elicitation, input patterns
- Tech-spec: Template rebuild, BDD format, input discovery
- UX Design: Input discovery streamlined
- Architecture: Elicitation at 5 key decision points, input discovery
- Gate-check: Input pattern cleanup, input discovery

## Impact
- More consistent elicitation across workflows
- Cleaner, more maintainable templates
- Better separation of concerns (templates vs instructions)
- Aligned with v6 3-track scale system
- Reduced bloat and duplication significantly

-# Fork Guide - CI/CD Configuration
-
-## CI/CD in Forks
-
-By default, CI/CD workflows are **disabled in forks** to conserve GitHub Actions resources and provide a cleaner fork experience.
-
-### Why This Approach?
-
-- **Resource efficiency**: Prevents unnecessary GitHub Actions usage across 1,600+ forks
-- **Clean fork experience**: No failed workflow notifications in your fork
-- **Full control**: Enable CI/CD only when you actually need it
-- **PR validation**: Your changes are still fully tested when submitting PRs to the main repository
-
-## Enabling CI/CD in Your Fork
-
-If you need to run CI/CD workflows in your fork, follow these steps:
-
-1. Navigate to your fork's **Settings** tab
-2. Go to **Secrets and variables** → **Actions** → **Variables**
-3. Click **New repository variable**
-4. Create a new variable:
-   - **Name**: `ENABLE_CI_IN_FORK`
-   - **Value**: `true`
-5. Click **Add variable**
-
-That's it! CI/CD workflows will now run in your fork.
-
-## Disabling CI/CD Again
-
-To disable CI/CD workflows in your fork, you can either:
-
-- **Delete the variable**: Remove the `ENABLE_CI_IN_FORK` variable entirely, or
-- **Set to false**: Change the `ENABLE_CI_IN_FORK` value to `false`
-
-## Alternative Testing Options
-
-You don't always need to enable CI/CD in your fork. Here are alternatives:
-
-### Local Testing
-
-Run tests locally before pushing:
-
-```bash
-# Install dependencies
-npm ci
-
-# Run linting
-npm run lint
-
-# Run format check
-npm run format:check
-
-# Run validation
-npm run validate
-
-# Build the project
-npm run build
-```
-
-### Pull Request CI
-
-When you open a Pull Request to the main repository:
-
-- All CI/CD workflows automatically run
-- You get full validation of your changes
-- No configuration needed
-
-### GitHub Codespaces
-
-Use GitHub Codespaces for a full development environment:
-
-- All tools pre-configured
-- Same environment as CI/CD
-- No local setup required
-
-## Frequently Asked Questions
-
-### Q: Will my PR be tested even if CI is disabled in my fork?
-
-**A:** Yes! When you open a PR to the main repository, all CI/CD workflows run automatically, regardless of your fork's settings.
-
-### Q: Can I selectively enable specific workflows?
-
-**A:** The `ENABLE_CI_IN_FORK` variable enables all workflows. For selective control, you'd need to modify individual workflow files.
-
-### Q: Do I need to enable CI in my fork to contribute?
-
-**A:** No! Most contributors never need to enable CI in their forks. Local testing and PR validation are sufficient for most contributions.
-
-### Q: Will disabling CI affect my ability to merge PRs?
-
-**A:** No! PR merge requirements are based on CI runs in the main repository, not your fork.
-
-### Q: Why was this implemented?
-
-**A:** With over 1,600 forks of BMAD-METHOD, this saves thousands of GitHub Actions minutes monthly while maintaining code quality standards.
-
-## Need Help?
-
-- Join our [Discord Community](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj) for support
-- Check the [Contributing Guide](../README.md#contributing) for more information
-- Open an issue if you encounter any problems
-
----
-
-> 💡 **Pro Tip**: This fork-friendly approach is particularly valuable for projects using AI/LLM tools that create many experimental commits, as it prevents unnecessary CI runs while maintaining code quality standards.

+
+## Tips for Success
+
+1. **Be specific** - Vague problems lead to vague solutions
+2. **Quantify when possible** - Numbers help us prioritize (e.g., "20 customers asked for this" vs "customers want this")
+3. **One idea per submission** - If you have multiple ideas, submit multiple templates
+4. **Success metrics matter** - How will we know this worked?
+5. **Honest sizing** - Better to overestimate than underestimate

-## Code of Conduct
+## Our Philosophy
 
-By participating in this project, you agree to abide by our Code of Conduct. Please read it before participating.
+### BMad Core™: Universal Foundation
 
-## Before Submitting a PR
+BMad Core empowers humans and AI agents working together in true partnership across any domain through our **C.O.R.E. Framework** (Collaboration Optimized Reflection Engine):
 
-**IMPORTANT**: All PRs must pass validation checks before they can be merged.
+- **Collaboration**: Human-AI partnership where both contribute unique strengths
+- **Optimized**: The collaborative process refined for maximum effectiveness
+- **Reflection**: Guided thinking that helps discover better solutions and insights
+- **Engine**: The powerful framework that orchestrates specialized agents and workflows
 
-### Required Checks
+### BMad Method™: Agile AI-Driven Development
 
-Before submitting your PR, run these commands locally:
+The BMad Method is the flagship bmad module for agile AI-driven software development. It emphasizes thorough planning and solid architectural foundations to provide detailed context for developer agents, mirroring real-world agile best practices.
 
-```bash
-# Run all validation checks
-npm run pre-release
+### Core Principles
 
-# Or run them individually:
-npm run validate     # Validate agent/team configs
-npm run format:check # Check code formatting
-npm run lint        # Check for linting issues
-```
+**Partnership Over Automation** - AI agents act as expert coaches, mentors, and collaborators who amplify human capability rather than replace it.
 
-### Fixing Issues
+**Bidirectional Guidance** - Agents guide users through structured workflows while users push agents with advanced prompting. Both sides actively work to extract better information from each other.
 
-If any checks fail, use these commands to fix them:
+**Systems of Workflows** - BMad Core builds comprehensive systems of guided workflows with specialized agent teams for any domain.
 
-```bash
-# Fix all issues automatically
-npm run fix
+**Tool-Agnostic Foundation** - BMad Core remains tool-agnostic, providing stable, extensible groundwork that adapts to any domain.
 
-# Or fix individually:
-npm run format      # Fix formatting issues
-npm run lint:fix    # Fix linting issues
-```
+## What Makes a Good Contribution?
 
-### Setup Git Hooks (Optional but Recommended)
+Every contribution should strengthen human-AI collaboration. Ask yourself: **"Does this make humans and AI better together?"**
 
-To catch issues before committing:
+**✅ Contributions that align:**
 
-```bash
-# Run this once after cloning
-chmod +x tools/setup-hooks.sh
-./tools/setup-hooks.sh
-```
+- Enhance universal collaboration patterns
+- Improve agent personas and workflows
+- Strengthen planning and context continuity
+- Increase cross-domain accessibility
+- Add domain-specific modules leveraging BMad Core
 
-## How to Contribute
+**❌ What detracts from our mission:**
+
+- Purely automated solutions that sideline humans
+- Tools that don't improve the partnership
+- Complexity that creates barriers to adoption
+- Features that fragment BMad Core's foundation

-**2. Context-Engineered Development:** The Scrum Master agent then transforms these detailed plans into hyper-detailed development stories that contain everything the Dev agent needs - full context, implementation details, and architectural guidance embedded directly in story files.
+---
 
-This two-phase approach eliminates both **planning inconsistency** and **context loss** - the biggest problems in AI-assisted development. Your Dev agent opens a story file with complete understanding of what to build, how to build it, and why.

+- **Workflow Engine** - Guided multi-step processes with built-in best practices
+- **Modular Architecture** - Extend with domain-specific modules (BMM, BMB, CIS, custom)
+- **IDE Integration** - Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more
+- **Update-Safe Customization** - Your configs persist through all updates

+- **🎨 Agent Customization** - Modify names, roles, personalities via `bmad/_cfg/agents/`
+- **🌐 Multi-Language** - Independent language settings for communication and output
+- **👤 Personalization** - Agents adapt to your name, skill level, and preferences
+- **🔄 Persistent Config** - Customizations survive module updates
+- **⚙️ Flexible Settings** - Configure per-module or globally

-### One Command for Everything (IDE Installation)
-
-**Just run one of these commands:**
-
-```bash
-npx bmad-method install
-# OR explicitly use stable tag:
-npx bmad-method@stable install
-# OR if you already have BMad installed:
-git pull
-npm run install:bmad
+```

+## 🎯 Working with Agents & Commands
 
-### Fastest Start: Web UI Full Stack Team at your disposal (2 minutes)
+**Multiple Ways to Execute Workflows:**
 
-1. **Get the bundle**: Save or clone the [full stack team file](dist/teams/team-fullstack.txt) or choose another team
-2. **Create AI agent**: Create a new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
-3. **Upload & configure**: Upload the file and set instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
-4. **Start Ideating and Planning**: Start chatting! Type `*help` to see available commands or pick an agent like `*analyst` to start right in on creating a brief.
-5. **CRITICAL**: Talk to BMad Orchestrator in the web at ANY TIME (#bmad-orchestrator command) and ask it questions about how this all works!
-6. **When to move to the IDE**: Once you have your PRD, Architecture, optional UX and Briefs - its time to switch over to the IDE to shard your docs, and start implementing the actual code! See the [User guide](docs/user-guide.md) for more details
+BMad is flexible - you can execute workflows in several ways depending on your preference and IDE:
 
-### Alternative: Clone and Build
+### Method 1: Agent Menu (Recommended for Beginners)
 
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/bmadcode/bmad-method.git
-npm run install:bmad # build and install all to a destination folder
+1. **Load an agent** in your IDE (see [IDE-specific instructions](./docs/ide-info/))
+2. **Wait for the menu** to appear showing available workflows
+3. **Tell the agent** what to run using natural language or shortcuts:
+   - Natural: "Run workflow-init"
+   - Shortcut: `*workflow-init`
+   - Menu number: "Run option 2"
+
+### Method 2: Direct Slash Commands
+
+**Execute workflows directly** using slash commands:
+
+```
+/bmad:bmm:workflows:workflow-init
+/bmad:bmm:workflows:prd
+/bmad:bmm:workflows:dev-story
 ```
 
-## 🌟 Beyond Software Development - Expansion Packs
+**Tip:** While you can run these without loading an agent first, **loading an agent is still recommended** - it can make a difference with certain workflows.
 
-BMAD™'s natural language framework works in ANY domain. Expansion packs provide specialized AI agents for creative writing, business strategy, health & wellness, education, and more. Also expansion packs can expand the core BMAD-METHOD™ with specific functionality that is not generic for all cases. [See the Expansion Packs Guide](docs/expansion-packs.md) and learn to create your own!
+**Benefits:**
 
-## Codebase Flattener Tool
+- ✅ Mix and match any agent with any workflow
+- ✅ Run workflows not in the loaded agent's menu
+- ✅ Faster access for experienced users who know the command names
 
-The BMAD-METHOD™ includes a powerful codebase flattener tool designed to prepare your project files for AI model consumption. This tool aggregates your entire codebase into a single XML file, making it easy to share your project context with AI assistants for analysis, debugging, or development assistance.
+### Method 3: Party Mode Execution
 
-### Features
+**Run workflows with multi-agent collaboration:**
 
-- **AI-Optimized Output**: Generates clean XML format specifically designed for AI model consumption
-- **Smart Filtering**: Automatically respects `.gitignore` patterns to exclude unnecessary files
-- **Binary File Detection**: Intelligently identifies and excludes binary files, focusing on source code
-- **Progress Tracking**: Real-time progress indicators and comprehensive completion statistics
-- **Flexible Output**: Customizable output file location and naming
+1. Start party mode: `/bmad:core:workflows:party-mode`
+2. Execute any workflow - **the entire team collaborates on it**
+3. Get diverse perspectives from multiple specialized agents
 
-### Usage
+**Perfect for:** Strategic decisions, complex workflows, cross-functional tasks
 
-```bash
-# Basic usage - creates flattened-codebase.xml in current directory
-npx bmad-method flatten
+---
 
-# Specify custom input directory
-npx bmad-method flatten --input /path/to/source/directory
-npx bmad-method flatten -i /path/to/source/directory
+> **📌 IDE-Specific Note:**
+>
+> Slash command format varies by IDE:
+>
+> - **Claude Code:** `/bmad:bmm:workflows:prd`
+> - **Cursor/Windsurf:** May use different syntax - check your IDE's [documentation](./docs/ide-info/)
+> - **VS Code with Copilot Chat:** Syntax may differ
+>
+> See **[IDE Integration Guides](./docs/ide-info/)** for your specific IDE's command format.
 
-# Specify custom output file
-npx bmad-method flatten --output my-project.xml
-npx bmad-method flatten -o /path/to/output/codebase.xml
+---
 
-# Combine input and output options
-npx bmad-method flatten --input /path/to/source --output /path/to/output/codebase.xml
-```
+## Key Features
 
-### Example Output
+### 🎨 Update-Safe Customization
 
-The tool will display progress and provide a comprehensive summary:
+Modify agents without touching core files:
 
-```text
-📊 Completion Summary:
-✅ Successfully processed 156 files into flattened-codebase.xml
-📁 Output file: /path/to/your/project/flattened-codebase.xml
-📏 Total source size: 2.3 MB
-📄 Generated XML size: 2.1 MB
-📝 Total lines of code: 15,847
-🔢 Estimated tokens: 542,891
-📊 File breakdown: 142 text, 14 binary, 0 errors
-```
+- Override agent names, personalities, expertise via `bmad/_cfg/agents/`
+- Customizations persist through all updates
+- Multi-language support (communication + output)
+- Module-level or global configuration
 
-The generated XML file contains your project's text-based source files in a structured format that AI models can easily parse and understand, making it perfect for code reviews, architecture discussions, or getting AI assistance with your BMAD-METHOD™ projects.
+### 🚀 Intelligent Installation
 
-#### Advanced Usage & Options
+Smart setup that adapts to your environment:
 
-- 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.
+- Auto-detects v4 installations for smooth upgrades
+- Configures IDE integrations (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code)
+- Resolves cross-module dependencies
+- Generates unified agent/workflow manifests
 
-#### Minimal XML example
+### 📁 Clean Architecture

-# Architect Solution Validation Checklist
-
-This checklist serves as a comprehensive framework for the Architect to validate the technical design and architecture before development execution. The Architect should systematically work through each item, ensuring the architecture is robust, scalable, secure, and aligned with the product requirements.
-
-[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - REQUIRED ARTIFACTS
-
-Before proceeding with this checklist, ensure you have access to:
-
-1. architecture.md - The primary architecture document (check docs/architecture.md)
-2. prd.md - Product Requirements Document for requirements alignment (check docs/prd.md)
-3. frontend-architecture.md or fe-architecture.md - If this is a UI project (check docs/frontend-architecture.md)
-4. Any system diagrams referenced in the architecture
-5. API documentation if available
-6. Technology stack details and version specifications
-
-IMPORTANT: If any required documents are missing or inaccessible, immediately ask the user for their location or content before proceeding.
-
-PROJECT TYPE DETECTION:
-First, determine the project type by checking:
-
-- Does the architecture include a frontend/UI component?
-- Is there a frontend-architecture.md document?
-- Does the PRD mention user interfaces or frontend requirements?
-
-If this is a backend-only or service-only project:
-
-- Skip sections marked with [[FRONTEND ONLY]]
-- Focus extra attention on API design, service architecture, and integration patterns
-- Note in your final report that frontend sections were skipped due to project type
-
-VALIDATION APPROACH:
-For each section, you must:
-
-1. Deep Analysis - Don't just check boxes, thoroughly analyze each item against the provided documentation
-2. Evidence-Based - Cite specific sections or quotes from the documents when validating
-3. Critical Thinking - Question assumptions and identify gaps, not just confirm what's present
-4. Risk Assessment - Consider what could go wrong with each architectural decision
-
-EXECUTION MODE:
-Ask the user if they want to work through the checklist:
-
-- Section by section (interactive mode) - Review each section, present findings, get confirmation before proceeding
-- All at once (comprehensive mode) - Complete full analysis and present comprehensive report at end]]
-
-## 1. REQUIREMENTS ALIGNMENT

-# Change Navigation Checklist
-
-**Purpose:** To systematically guide the selected Agent and user through the analysis and planning required when a significant change (pivot, tech issue, missing requirement, failed story) is identified during the BMad workflow.
-
-**Instructions:** Review each item with the user. Mark `[x]` for completed/confirmed, `[N/A]` if not applicable, or add notes for discussion points.
-
-[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - CHANGE NAVIGATION
-
-Changes during development are inevitable, but how we handle them determines project success or failure.
-
-Before proceeding, understand:
-
-1. This checklist is for SIGNIFICANT changes that affect the project direction
-2. Minor adjustments within a story don't require this process
-3. The goal is to minimize wasted work while adapting to new realities
-4. User buy-in is critical - they must understand and approve changes
-
-Required context:
-
-- The triggering story or issue
-- Current project state (completed stories, current epic)
-- Access to PRD, architecture, and other key documents
-- Understanding of remaining work planned
-
-APPROACH:
-This is an interactive process with the user. Work through each section together, discussing implications and options. The user makes final decisions, but provide expert guidance on technical feasibility and impact.
-
-REMEMBER: Changes are opportunities to improve, not failures. Handle them professionally and constructively.]]
-
----
-
-## 1. Understand the Trigger & Context
-
-[[LLM: Start by fully understanding what went wrong and why. Don't jump to solutions yet. Ask probing questions:
-
-- What exactly happened that triggered this review?
-- Is this a one-time issue or symptomatic of a larger problem?
-- Could this have been anticipated earlier?
-- What assumptions were incorrect?
-
-Be specific and factual, not blame-oriented.]]
-
-- [ ] **Identify Triggering Story:** Clearly identify the story (or stories) that revealed the issue.
-- [ ] **Define the Issue:** Articulate the core problem precisely.
-  - [ ] Is it a technical limitation/dead-end?
-  - [ ] Is it a newly discovered requirement?
-  - [ ] Is it a fundamental misunderstanding of existing requirements?
-  - [ ] Is it a necessary pivot based on feedback or new information?
-  - [ ] Is it a failed/abandoned story needing a new approach?
-- [ ] **Assess Initial Impact:** Describe the immediate observed consequences (e.g., blocked progress, incorrect functionality, non-viable tech).
-- [ ] **Gather Evidence:** Note any specific logs, error messages, user feedback, or analysis that supports the issue definition.
-
-## 2. Epic Impact Assessment
-
-[[LLM: Changes ripple through the project structure. Systematically evaluate:
-
-1. Can we salvage the current epic with modifications?
-2. Do future epics still make sense given this change?
-3. Are we creating or eliminating dependencies?
-4. Does the epic sequence need reordering?
-
-Think about both immediate and downstream effects.]]
-
-- [ ] **Analyze Current Epic:**
-  - [ ] Can the current epic containing the trigger story still be completed?
-  - [ ] Does the current epic need modification (story changes, additions, removals)?
-  - [ ] Should the current epic be abandoned or fundamentally redefined?
-- [ ] **Analyze Future Epics:**
-  - [ ] Review all remaining planned epics.
-  - [ ] Does the issue require changes to planned stories in future epics?
-  - [ ] Does the issue invalidate any future epics?
-  - [ ] Does the issue necessitate the creation of entirely new epics?
-  - [ ] Should the order/priority of future epics be changed?
-- [ ] **Summarize Epic Impact:** Briefly document the overall effect on the project's epic structure and flow.
-
-## 3. Artifact Conflict & Impact Analysis
-
-[[LLM: Documentation drives development in BMad. Check each artifact:
-
-1. Does this change invalidate documented decisions?
-2. Are architectural assumptions still valid?
-3. Do user flows need rethinking?
-4. Are technical constraints different than documented?
-
-Be thorough - missed conflicts cause future problems.]]
-
-- [ ] **Review PRD:**
-  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the core goals or requirements stated in the PRD?
-  - [ ] Does the PRD need clarification or updates based on the new understanding?
-- [ ] **Review Architecture Document:**
-  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the documented architecture (components, patterns, tech choices)?
-  - [ ] Are specific components/diagrams/sections impacted?
-  - [ ] Does the technology list need updating?
-  - [ ] Do data models or schemas need revision?
-  - [ ] Are external API integrations affected?
-- [ ] **Review Frontend Spec (if applicable):**
-  - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the FE architecture, component library choice, or UI/UX design?
-  - [ ] Are specific FE components or user flows impacted?
-- [ ] **Review Other Artifacts (if applicable):**
-  - [ ] Consider impact on deployment scripts, IaC, monitoring setup, etc.
-- [ ] **Summarize Artifact Impact:** List all artifacts requiring updates and the nature of the changes needed.
-
-## 4. Path Forward Evaluation
-
-[[LLM: Present options clearly with pros/cons. For each path:
-
-1. What's the effort required?
-2. What work gets thrown away?
-3. What risks are we taking?
-4. How does this affect timeline?
-5. Is this sustainable long-term?
-
-Be honest about trade-offs. There's rarely a perfect solution.]]
-
-- [ ] **Option 1: Direct Adjustment / Integration:**
-  - [ ] Can the issue be addressed by modifying/adding future stories within the existing plan?
-  - [ ] Define the scope and nature of these adjustments.
-  - [ ] Assess feasibility, effort, and risks of this path.
-- [ ] **Option 2: Potential Rollback:**
-  - [ ] Would reverting completed stories significantly simplify addressing the issue?
-  - [ ] Identify specific stories/commits to consider for rollback.
-  - [ ] Assess the effort required for rollback.
-  - [ ] Assess the impact of rollback (lost work, data implications).
-  - [ ] Compare the net benefit/cost vs. Direct Adjustment.
-- [ ] **Option 3: PRD MVP Review & Potential Re-scoping:**
-  - [ ] Is the original PRD MVP still achievable given the issue and constraints?
-  - [ ] Does the MVP scope need reduction (removing features/epics)?
-  - [ ] Do the core MVP goals need modification?
-  - [ ] Are alternative approaches needed to meet the original MVP intent?
-  - [ ] **Extreme Case:** Does the issue necessitate a fundamental replan or potentially a new PRD V2 (to be handled by PM)?
-- [ ] **Select Recommended Path:** Based on the evaluation, agree on the most viable path forward.
-
-## 5. Sprint Change Proposal Components
-
-[[LLM: The proposal must be actionable and clear. Ensure:
-
-1. The issue is explained in plain language
-2. Impacts are quantified where possible
-3. The recommended path has clear rationale
-4. Next steps are specific and assigned
-5. Success criteria for the change are defined
-
-This proposal guides all subsequent work.]]
-
-(Ensure all agreed-upon points from previous sections are captured in the proposal)
-
-- [ ] **Identified Issue Summary:** Clear, concise problem statement.
-- [ ] **Epic Impact Summary:** How epics are affected.
-- [ ] **Artifact Adjustment Needs:** List of documents to change.
-- [ ] **Recommended Path Forward:** Chosen solution with rationale.
-- [ ] **PRD MVP Impact:** Changes to scope/goals (if any).
-- [ ] **High-Level Action Plan:** Next steps for stories/updates.
-- [ ] **Agent Handoff Plan:** Identify roles needed (PM, Arch, Design Arch, PO).
-
-## 6. Final Review & Handoff
-
-[[LLM: Changes require coordination. Before concluding:
-
-1. Is the user fully aligned with the plan?
-2. Do all stakeholders understand the impacts?
-3. Are handoffs to other agents clear?
-4. Is there a rollback plan if the change fails?
-5. How will we validate the change worked?
-
-Get explicit approval - implicit agreement causes problems.
-
-FINAL REPORT:
-After completing the checklist, provide a concise summary:
-
-- What changed and why
-- What we're doing about it
-- Who needs to do what
-- When we'll know if it worked
-
-Keep it action-oriented and forward-looking.]]
-
-- [ ] **Review Checklist:** Confirm all relevant items were discussed.
-- [ ] **Review Sprint Change Proposal:** Ensure it accurately reflects the discussion and decisions.
-- [ ] **User Approval:** Obtain explicit user approval for the proposal.
-- [ ] **Confirm Next Steps:** Reiterate the handoff plan and the next actions to be taken by specific agents.

-# Product Owner (PO) Master Validation Checklist
-
-This checklist serves as a comprehensive framework for the Product Owner to validate project plans before development execution. It adapts intelligently based on project type (greenfield vs brownfield) and includes UI/UX considerations when applicable.
-
-[[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - PO MASTER CHECKLIST
-
-PROJECT TYPE DETECTION:
-First, determine the project type by checking:
-
-1. Is this a GREENFIELD project (new from scratch)?
-   - Look for: New project initialization, no existing codebase references
-   - Check for: prd.md, architecture.md, new project setup stories
-
-2. Is this a BROWNFIELD project (enhancing existing system)?
-   - Look for: References to existing codebase, enhancement/modification language
-   - Check for: brownfield-prd.md, brownfield-architecture.md, existing system analysis
-
-3. Does the project include UI/UX components?
-   - Check for: frontend-architecture.md, UI/UX specifications, design files
-   - Look for: Frontend stories, component specifications, user interface mentions
-
-DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS:
-Based on project type, ensure you have access to:
-
-For GREENFIELD projects:
-
-- prd.md - The Product Requirements Document
-- architecture.md - The system architecture
-- frontend-architecture.md - If UI/UX is involved
-- All epic and story definitions
-
-For BROWNFIELD projects:
-
-- brownfield-prd.md - The brownfield enhancement requirements
-- brownfield-architecture.md - The enhancement architecture
-- Existing project codebase access (CRITICAL - cannot proceed without this)
-- Current deployment configuration and infrastructure details
-- Database schemas, API documentation, monitoring setup
-
-SKIP INSTRUCTIONS:
-
-- Skip sections marked [[BROWNFIELD ONLY]] for greenfield projects
-- Skip sections marked [[GREENFIELD ONLY]] for brownfield projects
-- Skip sections marked [[UI/UX ONLY]] for backend-only projects
-- Note all skipped sections in your final report
-
-VALIDATION APPROACH:
-
-1. Deep Analysis - Thoroughly analyze each item against documentation
-2. Evidence-Based - Cite specific sections or code when validating
-3. Critical Thinking - Question assumptions and identify gaps
-4. Risk Assessment - Consider what could go wrong with each decision
-
-EXECUTION MODE:
-Ask the user if they want to work through the checklist:
-
-- Section by section (interactive mode) - Review each section, get confirmation before proceeding
-- All at once (comprehensive mode) - Complete full analysis and present report at end]]
