do-operator 87d3407873 feat(docs-site): align the docs with the bmadcode design system, and move diagrams to themed SVG (#2850)
* feat(website): restyle the docs in the bmadcode design system

The docs carried a Ghost-blog theme: Inter and Space Grotesk, a #3b82f6
accent, 12px radii, tinted panels and hover lifts. bmadcode.com is built
from the foundry ramp on paper, Archivo and IBM Plex Mono, one
accent held under ~2% of the page, 2px corners and hairlines. This aligns
the two so the method and its documentation read as one thing.

Four type registers, and almost nothing else: Instrument Serif for the
page masthead, Archivo 600 for headings, Archivo 400 at 17px for prose,
and IBM Plex Mono at 11px for labels — spent once per section, never on
prose or a table header. The measure comes down to 46rem so a page reads
as an article.

Also fixes the site title, which was the only place in the repo spelling
the brand "BMAD Method"; it now matches the prose, and every page title
and share card with it.

The four component overrides are the parts CSS could not reach: the mark
in its ink tile, the accent eyebrow naming each section, and the dark
footer band. The footer renders from TwoColumnContent rather than the
Footer slot because Starlight right-aligns the content column
(--sl-content-margin-inline: auto 0), so a band in that column never
reached the sidebar edge.

* feat(website): inline hand-authored SVG diagrams

Diagrams shipped as rasters: build-diagram.png at 488 KB, plus a -fr and
a -ko export of the same picture. Every translation meant re-exporting an
image, three of the five locales fell back to the English one, and none
of them could follow the site's light and dark themes.

Diagrams are now hand-authored SVGs carrying geometry and classes only.
A rehype plugin inlines them where a page links to one, so a single
stylesheet themes every diagram — an <img> is opaque to page CSS, which
is the whole reason for inlining. A second diagram written against the
same class vocabulary matches the first without any styling work.

Labels are translated rather than redrawn: each <text> carries a data-i18n
key and the strings live in <name>.labels.json, so one drawing serves
every language and a translation cannot drift out of shape.

The integration exists because the inlined SVG lands inside Astro's
content layer cache, which is keyed on the markdown file. Editing a
diagram left the previous drawing on the page, through a build that
reported success. It watches the diagram directory in dev and drops the
content store when the drawing changes.

Diagram.astro is the same behaviour for anywhere that can take a
component. The docs are 193 .md files and no .mdx, where components
cannot be imported, so the plugin is the path pages actually use.

* docs(build): draw the bmad-build run as a themed SVG

Replaces build-diagram.png and its -fr and -ko exports with one drawing
shared by all five locales: the actors in a left lane, the spine down the
middle, a return channel for BAD_SPEC and INTENT_GAP, and the review
lenses in a panel — the layout the original had.

Gzipped, the diagram goes from 440 KB to 1 KB, and it now follows the
theme. The French labels are in place; the other locales fall back to the
English text in the SVG, which is what their pages showed before.

The raster files stay for now: walk-through-a-change still uses
walkthrough-diagram, and that conversion is a separate change.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(website): let the diagram cache stamp survive a fresh checkout

The stamp is written into Astro's cache directory, which does not exist
until Astro creates it partway through the build. On a clean clone — CI,
every time — the integration threw in astro:config:done and took the
build with it.

It now creates the directory, and treats any failure as a warning: a
cache that cannot be stamped is a slower build, not a broken one.

* docs(walkthrough): draw the walkthrough run as a themed SVG

Replaces walkthrough-diagram.png and its -fr and -ko exports with one
drawing shared by all five locales, keeping the original's layout: the
two inputs in a left lane, the five stages down the spine, the notes
beside them, the early exit skipping the middle, and the three outcomes
along the bottom.

The outcome chips introduce a `chip` class in the shared stylesheet,
taking the green and amber the asides already use, so a green in a
diagram is the same green as a tip. Nothing else about this diagram
needed styling: it inherits the vocabulary build-run established.

With both diagrams converted, website/public/diagrams is empty and the
six raster files are gone.

* docs(plan): fold the remaining diagrams into the themed pipeline

planning-skills, development-paths and bmad-delivery-loop were already
SVG, but outside the pipeline in three ways: they carried their own
palettes, they were served as <img> so page CSS could not reach them,
and two of them shipped a -ko twin that duplicated the geometry to
translate the labels.

Two were drawn dark — navy grounds, white text, cyan strokes — so on a
light docs page they sat as dark panels. Their palettes are mapped onto
the shared tokens, which flips them correctly in both themes, and their
backdrops are dropped: a diagram sits on the page's ground rather than
painting its own. The hardcoded typefaces go too, so they inherit
Archivo and IBM Plex Mono like everything else.

The Korean strings are lifted out of the -ko files into the label files,
matched by document order, so all five diagrams are now one drawing per
diagram. docs/images is empty.

Also fixes the cache guard, which was clearing the wrong store: build
writes to the cache directory, dev writes to .astro beside the config,
and the stamp was shared between them so whichever ran first consumed
the invalidation. It is now per command and build-only — deleting the
store under a running dev server leaves the content layer unable to
render, so dev needs a restart after a diagram edit instead.

* fix(diagrams): align the imported diagrams with the shared vocabulary

Mapping the old palettes onto the theme tokens made those three diagrams
theme-aware, but not part of the system. They still carried 8-16px
corners, painted their own canvas panel or background grid, drew every
connector in the accent, and left arrowheads baked to a colour of their
own — so next to build-run and walkthrough-run they read as imports.

They now use the same roles as the two authored diagrams: .node for
boxes, .edge for connectors, .head for arrowheads, 2px corners, and no
self-painted ground. Accent drops out of all five: it is for the one
thing a drawing points at, which here is a single .node.hot on the
destination box rather than a green that read as a status.

* chore(docs-site): record hast-util-from-html in the lockfile

The dependency was declared in package.json during the move to docs-site
but its entry never reached the lockfile's root block, so the two
disagreed about what the site depends on.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(diagrams): land the arrowheads on their targets in build-run

Three arrows pointed at glyphs rather than at boxes, and all three fell
short: DEFER stopped 10px from the document and aimed at its corner
instead of its body, REJECT stopped 27px from the discard glyph, and the
result returning to you stopped 21px from the person.

The boxes were fine throughout — every arrow into a node already landed
within 2px. What the three had in common is that a glyph sits inside a
translated group, so eyeballing them against the drawing's coordinates
put the endpoints in the wrong place.

Measured across all twenty arrowheads in screen space afterwards: the
largest remaining gap is 3px.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(diagrams): move the DEFER label off its own curve, and clear the
 cache on a dev start too

Re-aiming the DEFER arrow at the document glyph swung its curve left,
straight through the label that had been sitting clear of the old path.
The label moves into the pocket between Present and the curve.

Checking it exposed a worse problem: dev was still serving the previous
drawing after a restart, so the fix looked like it had not applied. The
cache guard had been narrowed to build-only after clearing the store
under a live dev server broke rendering — but that failure came from
clearing on a mid-session restart, and the watch that caused those is
gone. On a cold start, before the content layer loads, clearing is safe
in both commands. Confirmed by probe: edit a diagram, restart dev, the
edit is served, no errors.

So the limitation is now what it was documented to be. Previously an
edited diagram needed a full build before dev would show it.

* fix(diagrams): give every connector an arrowhead, and clear the boxes

Three defects in development-paths, all inherited from the import:

Connectors were written as two subpaths in one path element. A marker-end
lands on the last vertex of a path, so only the second segment ever drew
a head — which is why Change—Edit had none and Edit→Verify did. Four
connectors are now separate paths, and all twelve carry a head.

The two routed connectors ended exactly on the box they point at, so the
arrowhead sat on the border. They stop 4px clear.

The epic row was 140/130/130 wide with the labels centred on each box.
All three are 140 now, evenly spaced, with the connectors and labels
following.

Band backgrounds were imported as .node, which made every check treat a
connector crossing its own band as an error. They are .band now: same
appearance, but the drawing says what it means.

Also moves the DEFER label in build-run back alongside its curve. The
previous fix pushed it clear of the line and lost the association.

* fix(diagrams): one stroke weight across all five drawings

build-run and walkthrough-run carry no inline stroke-width — the
stylesheet owns it, at 1.5 for a connector and 1 for a box. The three
imported drawings still carried their own: 2, 3, 4 and 2.5, so their
lines were twice as heavy as the authored ones.

That is also what made the arrowhead into "Build × stories" look wrong.
A marker scales with stroke-width by default, so a head defined at 7
units rendered at 21px on a 3px line instead of 10.5px. On a 9px final
drop it overshot the corner and sat on the horizontal run above the box.

Sixty inline stroke-widths are gone, and the two routed connectors get a
longer final drop so the head has room to sit on.

* test(docs-site): cover rehype-inline-diagrams, and fix what it caught

Twelve tests alongside the existing plugin suite, against a temporary
site root: what gets inlined and what is left alone, label substitution
per locale with fallback to the authored English, the accessible name,
and the mtime-keyed re-read the dev server depends on.

The first run failed on the accessible name, and it was right to. hast
camel-cases ARIA attributes, so the guard read `aria-labelledby` and
found nothing — meaning every diagram's own <title> was being replaced
by the markdown alt text. build-run and walkthrough-run both title
themselves with a sentence describing the whole run, and both were
announcing a four-word alt instead.

Now 119 assertions, and a diagram that names itself keeps its name.

* fix(diagrams): recover the Korean walkthrough labels, and correct the guide

Review caught two things.

The style guide sent contributors to website/src/diagrams/, the path
this branch renamed. A diagram placed there would never be found by the
loader or localized.

The second is a regression this branch introduced and the PR described
wrongly. It claimed the non-English pages "fall back to the English text
in the SVG, which is what their pages showed before". That is untrue for
four pages: they had localized exports, and replacing those with one
drawing plus an English-only label file puts English labels in front of
readers who previously had their own language.

walkthrough-diagram-ko.svg was an SVG, so its Korean is recoverable and
is now the ko-KR label set for walkthrough-run — all 22 keys. The other
three were .webp exports, so their text cannot be lifted out:

  ko-kr build-a-change        build-run ko-KR       0/30 keys
  fr    explanation/build     build-run fr-FR      13/30 keys
  fr    build/walk-through    walkthrough fr-FR     0/22 keys

Those need a translator. The 13 French keys are mine and unreviewed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* i18n(diagrams): complete the French and Korean diagram labels

Fills the three gaps review found: build-run had no Korean and only 13
of 30 French keys, walkthrough-run had no French. All four sets are now
complete.

Terms come from the repository rather than fresh coinage. Korean reuses
what the -ko diagrams and the Korean pages already established — 의도,
구체화, 계획, 검토, 결과, 사양 — and French follows the vocabulary of
docs/fr/explanation/build.md: revue, intention, résultat, implémentation,
spécification, and visite guidée from the French walkthrough page.

The uppercase edge tokens stay as they are. PATCH, REJECT, BAD_SPEC,
INTENT_GAP and DEFER appear in no locale's prose, so they read as
protocol constants, the way bmad-build and path:line are already left
alone in the Korean set.

French runs longer than English and these are fixed-geometry drawings,
so both French pages and the Korean one were checked for labels
overflowing their box, sitting on a connector, or colliding: none.

These are my translations, not a native speaker's. Worth a pass from
whoever owns each locale before release.

* fix(docs-site): satisfy the repo's lint and format rules in the new tests

The diagram tests used .forEach to walk the hast tree, which this repo's
eslint config rejects (unicorn/no-array-for-each), and the file was not
Prettier-formatted. CI had been failing on lint since the tests landed.

Rewritten as for…of and formatted. Verified against every gate the
workflow runs — lint, format:check, test, build — rather than the build
alone.

* docs(website): describe the source of the theme without naming a private repo

The comments cited the private repository and file paths it was ported
from. They point at bmadcode.com instead, which is the public thing a
reader can actually check.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(website): keep footer links in the reader's language

The footer prefixed only BASE_URL to root-locale paths, so a French or
Korean reader following any internal link landed on the English page and
lost their language for the rest of the visit.

The links now carry the page's locale. Every target exists under every
locale — Starlight generates the untranslated ones as fallbacks — so this
is safe rather than a trade of one broken link for another: all 36
routes, 6 links across 6 locales, resolve in the built site.

Brian d2b87b849b Rename bmad-checkpoint-preview to bmad-walkthrough (#2783)
* Rename bmad-checkpoint-preview to bmad-walkthrough

"Checkpoint" said nothing about what the skill does and "preview" was wrong: it is a guided human walkthrough of a change, not a preview. Its siblings bmad-code-review and bmad-review already own "review", so the new name leans on what sets this one apart. "Walk me through this change" was already its trigger phrase.

- Skill folder, SKILL.md name/description, module-help.csv (menu code CK -> WT), marketplace.json
- Trigger words are now "walkthrough", "walk me through this change", "human review"; "checkpoint" is dropped
- English how-to page moves to docs/build/walk-through-a-change.md; build-a-change link updated
- fr, vi-vn, zh-cn pages move to docs/<lang>/build/walk-through-a-change.md to mirror the English path; explanation sidebar orders renumbered to close the gap
- Redirects for the old English and localized routes; sidebar label and translations updated
- Diagram assets renamed (image contents unchanged)

* Regenerate walkthrough diagrams with the new title

Title reads Walkthrough and the input box reads bmad-build spec file (was quick-dev, stale since the Build rename). English and French, same layout and style as before.

* Add bmad-checkpoint-preview forwarding shim

Forwards to bmad-walkthrough and offers to migrate legacy _bmad/custom/bmad-checkpoint-preview{,.user}.toml files, same as the other v6 shims.

* Point test-completed-work links at the renamed walkthrough page

Alex Verkhovsky 2f8b437ea2 docs(review): remove the adversarial-review explanation page (#2679)
The page is no longer needed. Drop it and its localized copies (cs,
fr, vi-vn, zh-cn), and de-link the remaining references in
forge-idea.md and the zh-cn advanced-elicitation/build pages. Drop a
stale line from lens-adversarial.md left over from the prompt slim.

Also drop a renderer test assertion that could never fail: it checked
that a deleted file wasn't in the snapshot, but the file no longer
exists anywhere in src/, so nothing could put it there.

Alex Verkhovsky cff69a6d54 refactor(review): slim adversarial hunter prompt (#2675)
* refactor(review): slim adversarial hunter prompt across build and review skills

Drop cynical-persona framing. Inline a short review prompt (≥10 findings,
look for missing, empty/zero guards) into blind-hunter layer instructions for
bmad-build, bmad-build-auto, and bmad-code-review. Delete the old
review-prompts/adversarial.md files. Align offline no-subagent dump with the
same child prompt. Update bmad-review's adversarial lens to the same method
while keeping its canonical finding fields.

* test(renderer): stop requiring deleted adversarial.md prompt file

Blind hunter is inlined; assert the inlined prompt text and remaining
file-backed review prompts instead.

* docs: align adversarial review explanation with slim hunter prompt

Document the finding floor and missing-not-only-wrong method instead of
the old cynical persona. Update core-tools lens table and localized pages.

Brian 57ad793167 refactor(bmm): reorganize skills into agents / plan / ship; retire tech-writer agent (#2658)
* refactor(bmm): move agent skills into agents/

* refactor(bmm): collapse phase folders into planning/ and shipping/

Skills reorganize from numbered pipeline folders (1-analysis,
2-plan-workflows, 3-solutioning, 4-implementation) into two sets:
planning/ and shipping/. Path and phase-label references updated
across marketplace.json, module-help.csv, tests, and bmad-help;
also trues up two marketplace paths that were stale on main
(create-story/dev-story already lived in v6-shims).

* refactor(bmm): shorten skill folders to plan/ and ship/

* refactor(bmm): retire tech-writer agent (Paige on hiatus)

Paige's capabilities were generic LLM defaults with no domain substance;
her one real menu item (DP) dispatches bmad-document-project, which stays
directly invocable and remains on the Analyst menu. Added to removals.txt
so installs clean up, and docs (all languages) carry a hiatus notice —
she returns in the future far more capable.

Brian c23f23400d feat: streamline core to an 8-skill set with merged review and editorial skills (#2603)
* feat: streamline core to a 5-skill kernel with standalone skill modules

Core installs 14 -> 5 catalog-visible skills; atoms exit to standalone
modules; installer gains real dependency resolution; zero npm deps.

- Merge bmad-editorial-review-prose/-structure into bmad-editorial-review
  (structure models JIT-loaded, new customize.toml)
- Merge bmad-review-adversarial-general/-edge-case-hunter/-verification-gap
  into bmad-review as selectable lenses; hidden husk-forwarders remain at
  the old IDs (no catalog rows) so gds/loop/os-utils keep working
- Move bmad-brainstorming, bmad-party-mode, bmad-forge-idea out of core to
  src/standalone-skills/ as single-skill modules; add bmad-analysis bundle
  module (curated dependency list over the atoms)
- Move bmad-spec into bmm (2-plan-workflows)
- Modernize bmad-advanced-elicitation: uv run, customize.toml, methods
  pick offloaded to scripts/pick_methods.py (with tests)
- Delete bmad-index-docs, bmad-shard-doc (removes the tree's only external
  npm dependency), and the four deprecation shims (bmad-create-prd,
  bmad-edit-prd, bmad-validate-prd, bmad-create-architecture); all added
  to removals.txt
- Installer: activate the dependencies field (recursive union into
  selectedModules, cycle-guarded, warn on unknown), config-driven picker
  visibility; core stays force-installed
- bmm module.yaml declares deps on the three atoms
- Docs updated across all locales; new reference/standalone-skills.md;
  shard-doc how-tos removed

* Restore original critical wording lost in the review/editorial merges

The merges into bmad-review and bmad-editorial-review were meant to keep
the source skills' critical wording behind progressive disclosure, not
paraphrase it away. Restore what was lost:

- lens-adversarial: clueless-weasel framing, extreme-skepticism wording,
  the at-least-ten-issues quota, and zero-findings-is-suspicious (the
  merge had inverted this to zero-is-valid)
- bmad-review SKILL: zero-findings stance is now per-lens
- lens-edge-case: mandatory exact-order step enforcement
- lens-verification-gap: exact 'No verification gaps found.' clean line
- editorial-review: full Human/LLM reader principles restored to new
  references/reader-principles.md; structure-pass HIGH-VALUE DENSITY
  role, front-load-value, anti-patterns, pacing check, and length_target
  assessment; prose-pass role sentence, analyze-style-first step, and
  merge-overlapping-fixes rule; output summary block and min-3-words HALT

* feat(installer): promote bmad-analysis bundle to src/bmad-analysis-skills

Move the bmad-analysis bundle module out of src/standalone-skills/ into its
own src/bmad-analysis-skills root, teach the installer to resolve it there
(getModulePath, official-modules listing, isBuiltInModule helper), and
update the marketplace manifest and standalone-skills docs to match.

* refactor(bmad-review): rename edge-case lens to edge-case-hunter

Rename the lens code and reference file (lens-edge-case.md ->
lens-edge-case-hunter.md), add explicit when = "always" to the shipped
lenses, and tighten the lens-selection wording in SKILL.md.

* feat(bmad-editorial-review): configurable style guide + analysis-driven rework

Apply the workflow-builder analysis recommendations:

- Make the baseline style guide configurable: style_guide in customize.toml
  now IS the baseline (default "Microsoft Writing Style Guide") instead of
  an empty override slot; SKILL.md no longer hardcodes the guide.
- Inline reader-principles.md into SKILL.md and delete the reference (it
  loaded on every run and was half-duplicated inline).
- Complete the customization surface: activation_steps_prepend/append,
  persistent_facts (project-context glob), on_complete, and a
  review_output_path scalar split out of output_preferences; add a
  file:-load fallback convention.
- Ground word metrics: new scripts/word_metrics.py (stdlib, PEP 723, tests)
  emits total/per-section word counts so impact estimates and the reduction
  summary use exact numbers.
- Cross-pass dedup: prose pass skips CUT-tagged passages and re-attaches
  fixes in MERGE'd ones; output ranks by impact with a long-tail rollup.
- Polish: HALT threshold replaced with plain outcome, duplicate LLM-reader
  bullets merged, all-caps lowered, literal Overview heading added.

* fix(installer): stop cache-refresh git commands from escaping to the parent repo

Two compounding bugs let a pre-commit test run shallow-fetch and hard-reset
the developer's own repository:

1. Git spawns in custom-module-manager and external-manager inherited the
   hook environment. Git exports GIT_DIR (absolute, in worktree checkouts)
   into pre-commit hooks; a child git then targets the hook's repo regardless
   of cwd, and treats its cwd — the module cache dir — as the work tree. The
   cache refresh's 'git fetch --depth 1' + 'git reset --hard origin/main'
   therefore shallowed the shared .bare and moved the checked-out branch.
   New git-env.js strips repo-targeting GIT_* vars from every git spawn in
   both managers, including calls that previously inherited process.env
   implicitly.

2. Test suite 51 (quickUpdate dependency expansion) ran the real
   CustomModuleManager lookup, which scans ~/.bmad/cache/custom-modules and
   network-refreshes every cached clone — real user state. The suite now
   stubs findModuleSourceByCode.

Verified by rerunning the suite with GIT_DIR pointed at the repo and a PATH
shim blocking fetch/reset/clone: 432 passing, zero blocked calls.

* De-scope standalone-skills mechanism: atoms return to core, shims reinstated

Shrink the PR to its heart — the skill merges — and defer the module
mechanics to a follow-up where all skills become module-driven:

- bmad-brainstorming, bmad-party-mode, bmad-forge-idea move back to
  src/core-skills/ as ordinary core skills with their catalog rows
  restored; src/standalone-skills/ and the bmad-analysis bundle module
  are removed
- Installer reverted to main: standalone discovery, hidden-module
  filtering, dependency resolution, manifest changes (test suites 49-51
  removed with the code); the cache-refresh git fix is retained
- The four bmm deprecation shims (create/edit/validate-prd,
  create-architecture) are reinstated so enterprise installs that
  invoke the old IDs or carry _bmad/custom overrides keep working;
  descriptions trimmed to the short husk style; their removals.txt
  entries dropped (removal rides the v7 cut as their frontmatter
  promises)
- marketplace.json keeps the five plugin entries with atom paths
  pointing at src/core-skills/
- Docs (en/cs/fr/vi/zh) reframe the three skills as core thinking
  skills; standalone-skills.md reference page removed

* Fix all findings from the max-effort adversarial review

Correctness:
- Finish the edge-case -> edge-case-hunter lens rename at every caller:
  the forwarder husk, the code-review/dev-auto/quick-dev review layers,
  the renderer test assertion, and the stale example path in
  bmad-review/SKILL.md
- marketplace.json: ship the five core kernel skills with
  bmad-method-lifecycle so its skills' bmad-review/bmad-editorial-review/
  bmad-help/bmad-advanced-elicitation invocations resolve in a
  marketplace install
- pick_methods.py / word_metrics.py: force UTF-8 stdout (Windows locale
  code pages crashed on the catalog's arrows and CJK headings)
- word_metrics.py: pair fences CommonMark-style so 4-backtick fences can
  embed 3-backtick examples without corrupting sections; count CJK
  characters as words
- pick_methods.py: validate --extra entries are JSON objects (was an
  uncaught AttributeError); read catalogs with utf-8-sig (BOM'd CSVs
  silently blanked every num)
- bmad-spec: activation now resolves {output_folder} (which the
  Workspace uses) instead of the unused {planning_artifacts}; drop the
  stale core-only-installs comment
- Editorial husks: pin the legacy output contracts (three-column table /
  Document Summary report and exact empty-state lines) like the review
  husks do
- PRD shims: advertise the real bmad-prd customize keys
  (validation_checklist_template, prd_output_path, run_folder_pattern,
  finalize_reviewers) instead of three that don't exist
- bmad-prd: add the forwarded-activation clause its shims rely on
  (ported from bmad-architecture)
- Locale workflow-maps (fr/cs/vi/zh): add the bmad-spec Phase-2 row the
  English map gained, which every locale's core-tools note points at
- git-env.js: also strip GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS and the
  GIT_CONFIG_COUNT/KEY_n/VALUE_n family; pass gitEnv() to the three npm
  install spawns whose transitive git calls inherited hook vars

Consistency:
- brain.py --extra overlay now replaces-by-name like pick_methods.py
  (same customize.toml additional_* semantics across sibling skills),
  with a regression test

* Fix prettier formatting in marketplace.json

* Apply valid CodeRabbit findings

- brain.py: catch malformed --extra overlays (bad JSON, non-array root,
  non-object entries) into the clean error path instead of a raw
  traceback, with a regression test; read catalogs and overlays with
  utf-8-sig; normalize ALL CSV fields (required ones were unstripped and
  could arrive as None from short rows)
- brain-selector: clamp the random-technique count to what the pool can
  supply so the Total badge matches the actual draw (template +
  regenerated assets/brain-selector.html)
- bmad-editorial-review: word_metrics command now uses the explicit
  {skill-root}/ prefix
- resolve_party.py / resolve_personas.py: custom member overrides now
  start from the installed entry, so omitted fields (icon, title,
  description, module, team) survive; non-string member tokens land in
  unresolved instead of raising TypeError; party's member loop gains the
  isinstance guards its personas twin already had
- bmad-brainstorming: fix the SKILL.md claim that headless is the only
  context for self-generated ideas (autonomous mode is interactive);
  autonomous mode honors user-supplied techniques before self-selecting
- Docs: drop duplicate 'only' in the spec template; align zh-cn
  forge-idea's bmad-review description with the English wording

* Create only the output folder at install time

bmm no longer pre-creates planning_artifacts, implementation_artifacts,
and project_knowledge — the last of which put an empty docs/ at every
project root. Skills create those lazily on first write. core now
declares {output_folder} in its directories block, which was previously
created only as a side effect of the artifact folders nesting under it.

Alex Verkhovsky 7b2d90a5f0 chore(bmm): retire bmad-investigate skill and its documentation (#2509)
* chore(bmm): retire bmad-investigate skill and its documentation

Removes the bmad-investigate skill, its case-file template, the EN/FR
forensic-investigation explainer docs, and every integration point:
Amelia's `IN` menu entry, the plugin marketplace manifest, module-help,
the workflow-map tables and HTML diagrams, and the agent-trigger tables.
EN/FR explanation sidebar orders are renumbered to close the gap left by
the removed doc.

Rationale: the skill's only non-redundant value was a durable, hand-off
case-file artifact — a workflow that is unproven in practice. Everything
else (evidence grading, hypothesis discipline, causal tracing) is
behavior a capable model already performs without a dedicated skill. The
skill also carried method-internal metaphor ("stronghold", "evidence
perimeter") that leaked into user-facing chat. Upstream signals agreed:
issue #2452 flagged the vocabulary leak and a maintainer noted the skill
should not auto-fire. Added in #2364.

Supersedes the in-flight cleanup in #2478 and resolves #2452 by removal.

* chore(bmm): add bmad-investigate to removals.txt and note retirement

The retirement commit removed the skill source and docs but did not add
the removals.txt entry that triggers cleanup of the skill directory on
existing installs during update. Add it, plus an Unreleased CHANGELOG note.

Anchor validation failed for links containing accented characters
(e.g. ./customize-bmad.md#dépannage) because the raw anchor didn't
match the slugified version produced by extractAnchors.

Normalize anchors through decodeURIComponent + headingToAnchor before
comparing, and guard against malformed URI components.

* docs(fr): apply French typographic conventions across all docs

regex-based pass followed by AI + manual review of all 34 source files

Rules applied:
- Apostrophe: ASCII ' → curly ’ (U+2019) in all French prose
- Guillemets: ASCII "..." → « … » with narrow no-break space (U+202F) on both sides
- Narrow no-break space (U+202F): before ; ? ! and after « / before »
- No-break space (U+00A0): before : in French prose
- Thousands separator: narrow no-break space (U+202F) in 4+ digit numbers

Additional review fixes: remaining ASCII quotes in _STYLE_GUIDE.md
checklist items, testing.md, and party-mode.md numbering.

Preserved exclusions: YAML frontmatter delimiters, code blocks,
backtick inline code, URLs, footnote syntax, and English UI text.

* docs(fr): align sidebar ordering with current English docs

Update sidebar order values across all French explanation and how-to
pages to match the live English documentation structure.

* docs(fr): fix omission in quick-dev from english

* docs(fr): style guide formatting

* docs(fr): use quick-dev wording in workflow-map-diagram-fr

* docs(fr): fix typos

* docs(fr): add bmad-investigate / IN trigger to agent tables

The forensic investigation feature added the IN menu trigger and
bmad-investigate skill, but the French docs that enumerate triggers
and agent capabilities were not updated.

- agents.md: add IN trigger and Enquête de code to Amelia's row
- named-agents.md: add Enquête de code to Amelia's capabilities

* docs(fr): fix agent skill identifiers to use bmad-agent-* prefix

The agent skill identifiers in agents.md and commands.md were missing
the -agent- segment of the namespace (e.g. bmad-pm instead of
bmad-agent-pm). All agent launchers use the bmad-agent-* naming
convention since the installer generates skill directories under that
prefix.

- agents.md: fix bmad-dev, bmad-analyst, bmad-pm, bmad-architect,
  bmad-ux-designer, bmad-tech-writer
- commands.md: fix bmad-pm, bmad-architect

* docs(fr): rename bmad-create-ux-design to bmad-ux (#2413)

Apply ee47e30c (refactor(bmad-ux): spine-based UX skill) to French docs.
Rename skill bmad-create-ux-design → bmad-ux and update outputs
from ux-spec.md to DESIGN.md + EXPERIENCE.md.

* docs(fr): translate bmad-spec section

French translation of the bmad-spec section introduced in aa6dece
(feat(bmad-spec): introduce Spec kernel distiller skill (#2417)).

* docs(fr): improve core-tools locution, phrasing and typography

Broader pass across all sections of core-tools.md for more idiomatic
French: consistent section headers (À utiliser quand, Fonctionnement),
natural verb choices, fluid sentence construction and corrected
punctuation.

* docs(fr): apply French typography and table formatting pass

Continuation of 27002100. Systematic pass across all French documentation
assisted by an automated French typography linter:
- Replace regular space with NBSP (U+00A0) before colons per French
  typographic convention
- Align table separator rows to match column widths
- Fix thousands separator in install-bmad.md (5000 → 5 000)
- Correct glossary example code block rendering in _STYLE_GUIDE.md

* docs(fr): fix missing french typography on roadmap.mdx

* docs(fr): translate web-bundles explanation and how-to

French translation of:
- docs/explanation/web-bundles.md
- docs/how-to/use-web-bundles.md
Reference commits: 7729ad46, d659a03d, 3bc2ad30

* docs(fr): refresh skill metadata references

Fixes #2437 for French.

- agents.md: update PM triggers CP/VP/EP → PRD, remove stale US trigger
  from Technical Writer, align PRD description to create/update/validate
- commands.md: fix Cursor/Windsurf skill paths to .agents/skills/,
  update core tools count to 12, align PRD description
- core-tools.md: add missing bmad-customize tool entry and section with
  link to customize-bmad how-to
- party-mode.md: replace stale "BMad Master orchestre" with "Le Party
  Mode orchestre la discussion"

Emmanuel Atsé cede485217 feat(docs): Add sidebar order validator for doc frontmatter (#2409)
* feat(docs): add sidebar order validator

Adds tools/validate-sidebar-order.js to validate sidebar.order values
in YAML frontmatter across English and translated docs.

Checks for duplicate orders, gaps in sequence, and missing order fields.
For translations, also warns on order drift from English counterparts.
Wired into the quality script as docs:validate-sidebar.

* fix(validate-sidebar): tighten language detection and drift guard, add docstrings

* fix(validate-sidebar): replace subdirectory heuristic with locale pattern matching

detectLanguageDirs() previously classified any top-level docs/ directory
containing subdirectories as a translation language. This was too broad —
if an English section ever gained nested subfolders it would be silently
excluded from validation.

Replaced with a BCP 47 locale-code regex (/^[a-z]{2}(?:-[a-zA-Z]{2})?$/)
that matches known patterns (cs, fr, vi-vn, zh-cn) and won't falsely
classify content sections like explanation/ or reference/.

* fix(validate-sidebar): guard drift check against undefined order values

extractSidebarOrder() returns { hasSidebar: false } when no sidebar block
exists, leaving order as undefined rather than null. The drift check only
guarded against null, allowing undefined values to emit noisy warnings
like "Order drift: ... order undefined".

Changed the guard to typeof === 'number' which correctly excludes both
undefined and null without relying on a specific sentinel value.

* chore(validate-sidebar): add JSDoc docstrings to all functions

Adds @param and @returns annotations to extractSidebarOrder,
detectLanguageDirs, getEnglishSections, checkDirectory,
checkTranslationDrift, and relativePath.

* fix(validate-sidebar): add to pre-commit hook

* refactor(validate-sidebar): harden parsing and edge-case handling

Refactor to main() wrapper with pure return-based APIs, single directory
scan, and shared reporting. Harden frontmatter parsing (anchored delimiter,
direct-child-only order extraction, flow mapping support) and validation
(Infinity/zero guard, gap flood cap, multi-segment locales, graceful ENOENT).

* docs: fix sidebar.order duplicates and gaps across all locales

Resolves all validator errors flagged by the new
tools/validate-sidebar-order.js check.

English (docs/{explanation,how-to,reference}/):
- Renumbered to remove duplicates; established reading order
  for new explanation pages added since orders were last set.

Translations (cs, fr, vi-vn, zh-cn):
- Mirrored English structural ordering where files exist, then
  compacted to 1..N within each directory to eliminate gaps
  caused by missing translation files.

Non-blocking drift warnings remain where translation directories
have fewer files than English; these are expected per the
validator's design.
