Brian Madison 7eb52520fa Major Enhancements:
- Installation path is now fully configurable, allowing users to specify custom installation directories during setup
  - Default installation location changed to .bmad (hidden directory) for cleaner project root organization

    Web Bundle Improvements:

    - All web bundles (single agent and team) now include party mode support for multi-agent collaboration!
    - Advanced elicitation capabilities integrated into standalone agents
    - All bundles enhanced with party mode agent manifests
    - Added default-party.csv files to bmm, bmgd, and cis module teams
    - The default party file is what will be used with single agent bundles. teams can customize for different party configurations before web bundling through a setting in the team yaml file
    - New web bundle outputs for all agents (analyst, architect, dev, pm, sm, tea, tech-writer, ux-designer, game-*, creative-squad)

    Phase 4 Workflow Updates (In Progress):

    - Initiated shift to separate phase 4 implementation artifacts from documentation
        - Phase 4 implementation artifacts (stories, code review, sprint plan, context files) will move to dedicated location outside docs folder
        - Installer questions and configuration added for artifact path selection
        - Updated workflow.yaml files for code-review, sprint-planning, story-context, epic-tech-context, and retrospective workflows to support this, but still might require some udpates

    Additional Changes:

    - New agent and action command header models for standardization
    - Enhanced web-bundle-activation-steps fragment
    - Updated web-bundler.js to support new structure
    - VS Code settings updated for new .bmad directory
    - Party mode instructions and workflow enhanced for better orchestration

   IDE Installer Updates:

    - Show version number of installer in cli
    - improved Installer UX
    - Gemini TOML Improved to have clear loading instructions with @ commands
    - All tools agent launcher mds improved to use a central file template critical indication isntead of hardcoding in 2 different locations.

ReDoc Workflow Validation Checklist

Initialization and Setup

  • All BMAD convention documents loaded and understood
  • Target path validated and exists
  • Target type correctly identified (module/workflow/agent/folder)
  • Documentation execution plan created with reverse-tree order

File Analysis

  • All files in target scope read completely (no offset/limit usage)
  • Existing README.md files detected and last-redoc-date parsed
  • Massive folders (>10 items) identified for catalog document creation
  • Documentation depth levels calculated correctly

Leaf-Level Documentation (Workflows)

  • Each workflow's ALL files read: workflow.yaml, instructions.md, template.md, checklist.md
  • README.md includes frontmatter with current last-redoc-date
  • Description is 2-4 paragraphs of technical writer quality
  • Focuses on DISTINCTIVE features, not BMAD boilerplate conventions
  • Includes "Usage" section with invocation command
  • Includes "Inputs" and "Outputs" sections where applicable
  • Succinct and precise language used throughout

Leaf-Level Documentation (Agents)

  • Each agent file read completely including XML structure, commands, persona
  • README.md includes frontmatter with current last-redoc-date
  • Description is 1-3 paragraphs of technical writer quality
  • Lists all available commands clearly
  • Explains when to use this agent
  • Highlights unique capabilities vs standard agent patterns

Mid-Level Documentation (Folders)

  • All child README.md files read before generating folder README
  • Workflows categorized logically if massive folder (>10 items)
  • Agents categorized by type if massive folder (>10 items)
  • Catalog documents (WORKFLOWS-CATALOG.md, AGENTS-CATALOG.md) created for massive folders
  • Catalog documents include frontmatter with last-redoc-date
  • Folder README.md references catalog if one exists
  • Folder README.md is succinct (1-2 paragraphs + listings/links)
  • Notable/commonly-used items highlighted

Root Module Documentation

  • Module config.yaml read and understood
  • Workflows and agents folder READMEs read before creating root README
  • Root README includes frontmatter with current last-redoc-date
  • Module purpose clearly stated in 2-3 sentences
