- Introduced a .nvmrc file to specify the Node.js version (22) for the project, ensuring consistent development environments.
- Enhanced error handling in the startServer function to provide clearer messages when the Node.js executable cannot be found, improving debugging experience.
- Updated package.json files across various modules to enforce Node.js version compatibility and ensure consistent dependency versions.
These changes aim to streamline development processes and enhance the application's reliability by enforcing version control and improving error reporting.
The backlog plan system prompt was using an incorrect JSON format that didn't
match the BacklogPlanResult interface. This caused the plan generation to
complete but produce no visible results.
Issue:
- Prompt specified: { "plan": { "add": [...], "update": [...], "delete": [...] } }
- Code expected: { "changes": [...], "summary": "...", "dependencyUpdates": [...] }
Fix:
- Restored original working format with "changes" array
- Each change has: type ("add"|"update"|"delete"), feature, reason
- Matches BacklogPlanResult and BacklogChange interfaces exactly
Impact:
- Plan button on Kanban board will now generate and display plans correctly
- AI responses will be properly parsed and shown in review dialog
Testing:
- All 845 tests passing
- Verified format matches original hardcoded prompt from upstream

This commit fixes two issues introduced during prompt customization:
1. **Restored Full Planning Prompts from Main**
- Lite Mode: Added "Silently analyze the codebase first" instruction
- Spec Mode: Restored detailed task format rules, [TASK_START]/[TASK_COMPLETE] markers
- Full Mode: Restored comprehensive SDD format with [PHASE_COMPLETE] markers
- Fixed table structures (Files to Modify, Technical Context, Risks & Mitigations)
- Ensured all critical instructions for Auto Mode functionality are preserved
2. **Fixed Test Suite (774 tests passing)**
- Made getPlanningPromptPrefix() async-aware in all 11 planning tests
- Replaced console.log/error mocks with createLogger mocks (settings-helpers, agent-service)
- Updated test expectations to match restored prompts
- Fixed variable hoisting issue in agent-service mock setup
- Built prompts library to apply changes
The planning prompts now match the detailed, production-ready versions from main
branch, ensuring Auto Mode has all necessary instructions for proper task execution.

Add comprehensive prompt customization system allowing users to customize
all AI prompts (Auto Mode, Agent Runner, Backlog Plan, Enhancement) through
the Settings UI.
## Features
### Core Customization System
- New TypeScript types for prompt customization with enabled flag
- CustomPrompt interface with value and enabled state
- Prompts preserved even when disabled (no data loss)
- Merged prompt system (custom overrides defaults when enabled)
- Persistent storage in ~/.automaker/settings.json
### Settings UI
- New "Prompt Customization" section in Settings
- 4 tabs: Auto Mode, Agent, Backlog Plan, Enhancement
- Toggle-based editing (read-only default → editable custom)
- Dynamic textarea height based on prompt length (120px-600px)
- Visual state indicators (Custom/Default labels)
### Warning System
- Critical prompt warnings for Backlog Plan (JSON format requirement)
- Field-level warnings when editing critical prompts
- Info banners for Auto Mode planning markers
- Color-coded warnings (blue=info, amber=critical)
### Backend Integration
- Auto Mode service loads prompts from settings
- Agent service loads prompts from settings
- Backlog Plan service loads prompts from settings
- Enhancement endpoint loads prompts from settings
- Settings sync includes promptCustomization field
### Files Changed
- libs/types/src/prompts.ts - Type definitions
- libs/prompts/src/defaults.ts - Default prompt values
- libs/prompts/src/merge.ts - Merge utilities
- apps/ui/src/components/views/settings-view/prompts/ - UI components
- apps/server/src/lib/settings-helpers.ts - getPromptCustomization()
- All service files updated to use customizable prompts
## Technical Details
Prompt storage format:
```json
{
"promptCustomization": {
"autoMode": {
"planningLite": {
"value": "Custom prompt text...",
"enabled": true
}
}
}
}
