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.

+
+**Expected Outputs**:
+
+- PRD.md with complete requirements
+- epics.md with detailed epic and story breakdown
+- Updated bmm-workflow-status.yaml
+
+---
+
+## 1. PRD Document Completeness
+
+### Core Sections Present
+
+- [ ] Executive Summary with vision alignment
+- [ ] Product magic essence clearly articulated
+- [ ] Project classification (type, domain, complexity)
+- [ ] Success criteria defined
+- [ ] Product scope (MVP, Growth, Vision) clearly delineated
+- [ ] Functional requirements comprehensive and numbered
+- [ ] Non-functional requirements (when applicable)
+- [ ] References section with source documents
+
+### Project-Specific Sections
+
+- [ ] **If complex domain:** Domain context and considerations documented

+- [ ] No unfilled template variables ({{variable}})
+- [ ] All variables properly populated with meaningful content
+- [ ] Product magic woven throughout (not just stated once)
+- [ ] Language is clear, specific, and measurable
+- [ ] Project type correctly identified and sections match
+- [ ] Domain complexity appropriately addressed
+
+---
+
+## 2. Functional Requirements Quality
+
+### FR Format and Structure
+
+- [ ] Each FR has unique identifier (FR-001, FR-002, etc.)
+- [ ] FRs describe WHAT capabilities, not HOW to implement
+- [ ] FRs are specific and measurable
+- [ ] FRs are testable and verifiable
+- [ ] FRs focus on user/business value
+- [ ] No technical implementation details in FRs (those belong in architecture)
+
+### FR Completeness
+
+- [ ] All MVP scope features have corresponding FRs
+- [ ] Growth features documented (even if deferred)
+- [ ] Vision features captured for future reference
+- [ ] Domain-mandated requirements included
+- [ ] Innovation requirements captured with validation needs
+- [ ] Project-type specific requirements complete
+
+### FR Organization
+
+- [ ] FRs organized by capability/feature area (not by tech stack)
+- [ ] Related FRs grouped logically
+- [ ] Dependencies between FRs noted when critical
+- [ ] Priority/phase indicated (MVP vs Growth vs Vision)
+
+---
+
+## 3. Epics Document Completeness
+
+### Required Files
+
+- [ ] epics.md exists in output folder
+- [ ] Epic list in PRD.md matches epics in epics.md (titles and count)
+- [ ] All epics have detailed breakdown sections
+
+### Epic Quality
+
+- [ ] Each epic has clear goal and value proposition
+- [ ] Each epic includes complete story breakdown
+- [ ] Stories follow proper user story format: "As a [role], I want [goal], so that [benefit]"
+- [ ] Each story has numbered acceptance criteria
+- [ ] Prerequisites/dependencies explicitly stated per story
+- [ ] Stories are AI-agent sized (completable in 2-4 hour session)
+
+---
+
+## 4. FR Coverage Validation (CRITICAL)
+
+### Complete Traceability
+
+- [ ] **Every FR from PRD.md is covered by at least one story in epics.md**
+- [ ] Each story references relevant FR numbers
+- [ ] No orphaned FRs (requirements without stories)
+- [ ] No orphaned stories (stories without FR connection)
+- [ ] Coverage matrix verified (can trace FR → Epic → Stories)
+
+### Coverage Quality
+
+- [ ] Stories sufficiently decompose FRs into implementable units
+- [ ] Complex FRs broken into multiple stories appropriately
+- [ ] Simple FRs have appropriately scoped single stories
+- [ ] Non-functional requirements reflected in story acceptance criteria
+- [ ] Domain requirements embedded in relevant stories
+
+---
+
+## 5. Story Sequencing Validation (CRITICAL)
+
+### Epic 1 Foundation Check
+
+- [ ] **Epic 1 establishes foundational infrastructure**
+- [ ] Epic 1 delivers initial deployable functionality
+- [ ] Epic 1 creates baseline for subsequent epics
+- [ ] Exception: If adding to existing app, foundation requirement adapted appropriately
+
+### Vertical Slicing
+
+- [ ] **Each story delivers complete, testable functionality** (not horizontal layers)
+- [ ] No "build database" or "create UI" stories in isolation
+- [ ] Stories integrate across stack (data + logic + presentation when applicable)
+- [ ] Each story leaves system in working/deployable state
+
+### No Forward Dependencies
+
+- [ ] **No story depends on work from a LATER story or epic**
+- [ ] Stories within each epic are sequentially ordered
+- [ ] Each story builds only on previous work
+- [ ] Dependencies flow backward only (can reference earlier stories)
+- [ ] Parallel tracks clearly indicated if stories are independent
+
+### Value Delivery Path
+
+- [ ] Each epic delivers significant end-to-end value
+- [ ] Epic sequence shows logical product evolution
+- [ ] User can see value after each epic completion
+- [ ] MVP scope clearly achieved by end of designated epics
+
+---
+
+## 6. Scope Management
+
+### MVP Discipline
+
+- [ ] MVP scope is genuinely minimal and viable
+- [ ] Core features list contains only true must-haves
+- [ ] Each MVP feature has clear rationale for inclusion
+- [ ] No obvious scope creep in "must-have" list
+
+### Future Work Captured
+
+- [ ] Growth features documented for post-MVP
+- [ ] Vision features captured to maintain long-term direction
+- [ ] Out-of-scope items explicitly listed
+- [ ] Deferred features have clear reasoning for deferral
+
+### Clear Boundaries
+
+- [ ] Stories marked as MVP vs Growth vs Vision
+- [ ] Epic sequencing aligns with MVP → Growth progression
+- [ ] No confusion about what's in vs out of initial scope
+
+---
+
+## 7. Research and Context Integration
+
+### Source Document Integration
+
+- [ ] **If product brief exists:** Key insights incorporated into PRD
+- [ ] **If domain brief exists:** Domain requirements reflected in FRs and stories
+- [ ] **If research documents exist:** Research findings inform requirements
+- [ ] **If competitive analysis exists:** Differentiation strategy clear in PRD
+- [ ] All source documents referenced in PRD References section
+
+### Research Continuity to Architecture
+
+- [ ] Domain complexity considerations documented for architects
+- [ ] Technical constraints from research captured
+- [ ] Regulatory/compliance requirements clearly stated
+- [ ] Integration requirements with existing systems documented
+- [ ] Performance/scale requirements informed by research data
+
+### Information Completeness for Next Phase
+
+- [ ] PRD provides sufficient context for architecture decisions
+- [ ] Epics provide sufficient detail for technical design
+- [ ] Stories have enough acceptance criteria for implementation
+- [ ] Non-obvious business rules documented
+- [ ] Edge cases and special scenarios captured
+
+---
+
+## 8. Cross-Document Consistency
+
+### Terminology Consistency
+
+- [ ] Same terms used across PRD and epics for concepts
+- [ ] Feature names consistent between documents
+- [ ] Epic titles match between PRD and epics.md
+- [ ] No contradictions between PRD and epics
+
+### Alignment Checks
+
+- [ ] Success metrics in PRD align with story outcomes
+- [ ] Product magic articulated in PRD reflected in epic goals
+- [ ] Technical preferences in PRD align with story implementation hints
+- [ ] Scope boundaries consistent across all documents
+
+---
+
+## 9. Readiness for Implementation
+
+### Architecture Readiness (Next Phase)
+
+- [ ] PRD provides sufficient context for architecture workflow
+- [ ] Technical constraints and preferences documented
+- [ ] Integration points identified
+- [ ] Performance/scale requirements specified
+- [ ] Security and compliance needs clear
+
+### Development Readiness
+
+- [ ] Stories are specific enough to estimate
+- [ ] Acceptance criteria are testable
+- [ ] Technical unknowns identified and flagged
+- [ ] Dependencies on external systems documented
+- [ ] Data requirements specified
+
+### Track-Appropriate Detail
+
+**If BMad Method:**
+
+- [ ] PRD supports full architecture workflow
+- [ ] Epic structure supports phased delivery
+- [ ] Scope appropriate for product/platform development
+- [ ] Clear value delivery through epic sequence
+
+**If Enterprise Method:**
+
+- [ ] PRD addresses enterprise requirements (security, compliance, multi-tenancy)
+- [ ] Epic structure supports extended planning phases
+- [ ] Scope includes security, devops, and test strategy considerations
+- [ ] Clear value delivery with enterprise gates
+
+---
+
+## 10. Quality and Polish
+
+### Writing Quality
+
+- [ ] Language is clear and free of jargon (or jargon is defined)
+- [ ] Sentences are concise and specific
+- [ ] No vague statements ("should be fast", "user-friendly")
+- [ ] Measurable criteria used throughout
+- [ ] Professional tone appropriate for stakeholder review
+
+### Document Structure
+
+- [ ] Sections flow logically

+- [ ] Cross-references accurate (FR numbers, section references)
+- [ ] Formatting consistent throughout
+- [ ] Tables/lists formatted properly
+
+### Completeness Indicators
+
+- [ ] No [TODO] or [TBD] markers remain
+- [ ] No placeholder text
+- [ ] All sections have substantive content
+- [ ] Optional sections either complete or omitted (not half-done)
+
+---
+
+## Critical Failures (Auto-Fail)
+
+If ANY of these are true, validation FAILS:
+
+- [ ] ❌ **No epics.md file exists** (two-file output required)
+- [ ] ❌ **Epic 1 doesn't establish foundation** (violates core sequencing principle)
+- [ ] ❌ **Stories have forward dependencies** (breaks sequential implementation)
+- [ ] ❌ **Stories not vertically sliced** (horizontal layers block value delivery)
+- [ ] ❌ **Epics don't cover all FRs** (orphaned requirements)
+- [ ] ❌ **FRs contain technical implementation details** (should be in architecture)
+- [ ] ❌ **No FR traceability to stories** (can't validate coverage)
+- [ ] ❌ **Template variables unfilled** (incomplete document)
+
+---
+
+## Validation Summary
+
+**Total Validation Points:** ~85
+
+### Scoring Guide
+
+- **Pass Rate ≥ 95% (81+/85):** ✅ EXCELLENT - Ready for architecture phase
+- **Pass Rate 85-94% (72-80/85):** ⚠️ GOOD - Minor fixes needed
+- **Pass Rate 70-84% (60-71/85):** ⚠️ FAIR - Important issues to address
+- **Pass Rate < 70% (<60/85):** ❌ POOR - Significant rework required
+
+### Critical Issue Threshold
+
+- **0 Critical Failures:** Proceed to fixes
+- **1+ Critical Failures:** STOP - Must fix critical issues first
+
+---
+
+## Validation Execution Notes
+
+**When validating:**
+
+1. **Load ALL documents:**
+   - PRD.md (required)
+   - epics.md (required)
+   - product-brief.md (if exists)
+   - domain-brief.md (if exists)
+   - research documents (if referenced)
+
+2. **Validate in order:**
+   - Check critical failures first (immediate stop if any found)
+   - Verify PRD completeness
+   - Verify epics completeness
+   - Cross-reference FR coverage (most important)
+   - Check sequencing (second most important)
+   - Validate research integration
+   - Check polish and quality
+
+3. **Report findings:**
+   - List critical failures prominently
+   - Group issues by severity
+   - Provide specific line numbers/sections
+   - Suggest concrete fixes
+   - Highlight what's working well
+
+4. **Provide actionable next steps:**
+   - If validation passes: "Ready for architecture workflow"
+   - If minor issues: "Fix [X] items then re-validate"
+   - If major issues: "Rework [sections] then re-validate"
+   - If critical failures: "Must fix critical items before proceeding"
+
+---
+
+**Remember:** This validation ensures the entire planning phase is complete and the implementation phase has everything needed to succeed. Be thorough but fair - the goal is quality, not perfection.
