feat: enhance QA agent as senior developer with code review capabilities and major brownfield improvements
...
This release introduces significant enhancements across multiple areas:
QA Agent Transformation:
- Transform QA agent into senior developer role with active code refactoring abilities
- Add review-story task enabling QA to review, refactor, and improve code directly
- Integrate QA review step into standard development workflow (SM → Dev → QA)
- QA can fix small issues directly and leave checklist for remaining items
- Updated dev agent to maintain File List for QA review focus
Knowledge Base Improvements:
- Add extensive brownfield development documentation and best practices
- Clarify Web UI vs IDE usage with cost optimization strategies
- Document PRD-first approach for large codebases/monorepos
- Add comprehensive expansion packs explanation
- Update IDE workflow to include QA review step
- Clarify agent usage (bmad-master vs specialized agents)
Brownfield Enhancements:
- Create comprehensive Working in the Brownfield guide
- Add document-project task to analyst agent capabilities
- Implement PRD-first workflow option for focused documentation
- Transform document-project to create practical brownfield architecture docs
- Document technical debt, workarounds, and real-world constraints
- Reference actual files instead of duplicating content
- Add impact analysis when PRD is provided
Documentation Task Improvements:
- Simplify to always create ONE unified architecture document
- Add deep codebase analysis phase with targeted questions
- Focus on documenting reality including technical debt
- Include Quick Reference section with key file paths
- Add practical sections: useful commands, debugging tips, known issues
Workflow Updates:
- Update all 6 workflow files with detailed IDE transition instructions
- Add clear SM → Dev → QA → Dev cycle explanation
- Emphasize Gemini Web for brownfield analysis (1M+ context advantage)
- Support both PRD-first and document-first approaches
This release significantly improves the brownfield development experience and introduces a powerful shift-left QA approach with senior developer mentoring.

feat(dev-agent): add quality gates to prevent task completion with failing validations ( #261 )
...
Issue Being Solved:
Dev agent was marking tasks as complete even when tests/lint/typecheck failed,
causing broken code to reach merge and creating technical debt.
Gap in System:
Missing explicit quality gates in dev agent configuration to block task completion
until all automated validations pass.
Solution:
- Add "Quality Gate Discipline" core principle
- Update task execution flow: Execute validations→Only if ALL pass→Update [x]
- Add "Failing validations" to blocking conditions
- Simplify completion criteria to focus on validation success
Alignment with BMAD Core Principles:
- Quality-First: Prevents defective code progression through workflow
- Agent Excellence: Ensures dev agent maintains high standards
- Technology Agnostic: Uses generic "validations" concept vs specific tools
Small, focused change that strengthens existing dev agent without architectural changes.

fix: resolve web bundles directory path when using relative paths in NPX installer
...
When users enter "." as the installation directory, the web bundles directory
path was not being resolved correctly, causing the bundles to not be copied.
This fix ensures the web bundles directory is resolved using the same logic
as the main installation directory, resolving relative paths from the original
working directory where npx was executed.

### Bug Fixes
* installer has fast v4 update option now to keep the bmad method up to date with changes easily without breaking any customizations from the user. The SM and DEV are much more configurable to find epics stories and architectureal information when the prd and architecture are deviant from v4 templates and/or have not been sharded. so a config will give the user the option to configure the SM to use the full large documents or the sharded versions!
