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. 2025-11-09 17:39:05 -06:00			`# Test Architect workflow: automate`
