Brian Madison 108e4d8eb4 feat: add web activation instructions to bundled agents 
- Created agent-activation-web.xml with bundled file access instructions
- Updated web-bundler to inject web activation into all agent bundles
- Agents now understand how to access <file> elements instead of filesystem
- Includes workflow execution instructions for bundled environments
- Generated new web bundles with activation blocks

<access-method>
All dependencies are bundled within this XML file as &lt;file&gt; elements with CDATA content.
When you need to access a file path like "bmad/core/tasks/workflow.md":
1. Find the &lt;file id="bmad/core/tasks/workflow.md"&gt; element in this document
2. Extract the content from within the CDATA section
3. Use that content as if you read it from the filesystem
</access-method>
<rules>
<rule>NEVER attempt to read files from filesystem - all files are bundled in this XML</rule>
<rule>File paths starting with "bmad/" or "{project-root}/bmad/" refer to &lt;file id="..."&gt; elements</rule>
<rule>When instructions reference a file path, locate the corresponding &lt;file&gt; element by matching the id attribute</rule>
<rule>YAML files are bundled with only their web_bundle section content (flattened to root level)</rule>

<extract>exec, tmpl, data, action, run-workflow, validate-workflow</extract>

<handler type="run-workflow">
When command has: run-workflow="path/to/x.yaml" You MUST:
1. CRITICAL: Locate &lt;file id="bmad/core/tasks/workflow.md"&gt; in this XML bundle
2. Extract and READ its CDATA content - this is the CORE OS for EXECUTING workflows
3. Locate &lt;file id="path/to/x.yaml"&gt; for the workflow config
4. Pass the yaml content as 'workflow-config' parameter to workflow.md instructions
5. Follow workflow.md instructions EXACTLY as written
6. When workflow references other files, locate them by id in &lt;file&gt; elements
7. Save outputs after EACH section (never batch)
</handler>
<handler type="action">
When command has: action="#id" → Find prompt with id="id" in current agent XML, execute its content
When command has: action="text" → Execute the text directly as a critical action prompt

</handler>
<handler type="tmpl">
When command has: tmpl="path/to/x.md"
Locate &lt;file id="path/to/x.md"&gt; in this bundle, extract CDATA, parse as markdown with {{mustache}} templates

Scale-adaptive project planning workflow for all project levels (0-4).
Automatically adjusts outputs based on project scope - from single atomic
changes (Level 0: tech-spec only) to enterprise platforms (Level 4: full PRD +
epics). Level 2-4 route to 3-solutioning workflow for architecture and tech
specs. Generates appropriate planning artifacts for each level.

Would you like to create a Narrative Design Document now?
1. Yes, create Narrative Design Document (recommended)
2. No, proceed directly to solutioning

Since this is a Level {{project_level}} game project, you need solutioning for platform/engine architecture.
**Start new chat with solutioning workflow and provide:**
1. This GDD: `{{gdd_output_file}}`
2. Project analysis: `{{analysis_file}}`
**The solutioning workflow will:**
- Determine game engine/platform (Unity, Godot, Phaser, custom, etc.)
- Generate solution-architecture.md with engine-specific decisions
- Create per-epic tech specs
- Handle platform-specific architecture (from registry.csv game-\* entries)

**Scope**: This checklist adapts based on project level (0-4) and field type (greenfield/brownfield)
- **Level 0**: Tech-spec only validation
- **Level 1-2**: PRD + Tech-spec + Epics validation
- **Level 3-4**: PRD + Epics validation (no tech-spec)
- **Greenfield**: Focus on setup sequencing and dependencies
- **Brownfield**: Focus on integration risks and backward compatibility

- [ ] User's actual problem/need was identified through conversation (not assumed)
- [ ] Technical preferences mentioned by user were captured separately
- [ ] User confirmed the description accurately reflects their vision
- [ ] The PRD addresses what the user asked for, not what we think they need
### Alignment with User Goals
- [ ] Goals directly address the user's stated problem
