-# Step 7: Architecture Validation & Completion
-
-## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
-
-- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
-
-- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
-- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
-- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative discovery between architectural peers
-- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
-- 💬 FOCUS on validating architectural coherence and completeness
-- ✅ VALIDATE all requirements are covered by architectural decisions
-- ⚠️ ABSOLUTELY NO TIME ESTIMATES - AI development speed has fundamentally changed
-- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
-- ✅ Run comprehensive validation checks on the complete architecture
-- ⚠️ Present A/P/C menu after generating validation results
-- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Continue)
-- 📖 Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]` before loading next step
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
-
-## COLLABORATION MENUS (A/P/C):
-
-This step will generate content and present choices:
-
-- **A (Advanced Elicitation)**: Use discovery protocols to address complex architectural issues found during validation
-- **P (Party Mode)**: Bring multiple perspectives to resolve validation concerns
-- **C (Continue)**: Save the validation results and complete the architecture
-
-## PROTOCOL INTEGRATION:
-
-- When 'A' selected: Invoke the `bmad-advanced-elicitation` skill
-- When 'P' selected: Invoke the `bmad-party-mode` skill
-- PROTOCOLS always return to display this step's A/P/C menu after the A or P have completed
-- User accepts/rejects protocol changes before proceeding
-
-## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
-
-- Complete architecture document with all sections is available
-- All architectural decisions, patterns, and structure are defined
-- Focus on validation, gap analysis, and coherence checking
-- Prepare for handoff to implementation phase
-
-## YOUR TASK:
-
-Validate the complete architecture for coherence, completeness, and readiness to guide AI agents through consistent implementation.
-
-## VALIDATION SEQUENCE:
-
-### 1. Coherence Validation
-
-Check that all architectural decisions work together:
-
-**Decision Compatibility:**
-
-- Do all technology choices work together without conflicts?
-- Are all versions compatible with each other?
-- Do patterns align with technology choices?
-- Are there any contradictory decisions?
-
-**Pattern Consistency:**
-
-- Do implementation patterns support the architectural decisions?
-- Are naming conventions consistent across all areas?
-- Do structure patterns align with technology stack?
-- Are communication patterns coherent?
-
-**Structure Alignment:**
-
-- Does the project structure support all architectural decisions?
-- Are boundaries properly defined and respected?
-- Does the structure enable the chosen patterns?
-- Are integration points properly structured?
-
-### 2. Requirements Coverage Validation
-
-Verify all project requirements are architecturally supported:
-
-**From Epics (if available):**
-
-- Does every epic have architectural support?
-- Are all user stories implementable with these decisions?
-- Are cross-epic dependencies handled architecturally?
-- Are there any gaps in epic coverage?
-
-**From FR Categories (if no epics):**
-
-- Does every functional requirement have architectural support?
-- Are all FR categories fully covered by architectural decisions?
-- Are cross-cutting FRs properly addressed?
-- Are there any missing architectural capabilities?
-
-**Non-Functional Requirements:**
-
-- Are performance requirements addressed architecturally?
-- Are security requirements fully covered?
-- Are scalability considerations properly handled?
-- Are compliance requirements architecturally supported?
-
-### 3. Implementation Readiness Validation
-
-Assess if AI agents can implement consistently:
-
-**Decision Completeness:**
-
-- Are all critical decisions documented with versions?
-- Are implementation patterns comprehensive enough?
-- Are consistency rules clear and enforceable?
-- Are examples provided for all major patterns?
-
-**Structure Completeness:**
-
-- Is the project structure complete and specific?
-- Are all files and directories defined?
-- Are integration points clearly specified?
-- Are component boundaries well-defined?
-
-**Pattern Completeness:**
-
-- Are all potential conflict points addressed?
-- Are naming conventions comprehensive?
-- Are communication patterns fully specified?
-- Are process patterns (error handling, etc.) complete?
-
-### 4. Gap Analysis
-
-Identify and document any missing elements:
-
-**Critical Gaps:**
-
-- Missing architectural decisions that block implementation
-- Incomplete patterns that could cause conflicts
-- Missing structural elements needed for development
-- Undefined integration points
-
-**Important Gaps:**
-
-- Areas that need more detailed specification
-- Patterns that could be more comprehensive
-- Documentation that would help implementation
-- Examples that would clarify complex decisions
-
-**Nice-to-Have Gaps:**
-
-- Additional patterns that would be helpful
-- Supplementary documentation
-- Tooling recommendations
-- Development workflow optimizations
-
-### 5. Address Validation Issues
-
-For any issues found, facilitate resolution:
-
-**Critical Issues:**
-"I found some issues that need to be addressed before implementation:
-
-{{critical_issue_description}}
-
-These could cause implementation problems. How would you like to resolve this?"
-
-**Important Issues:**
-"I noticed a few areas that could be improved:
-
-{{important_issue_description}}
-
-These aren't blocking, but addressing them would make implementation smoother. Should we work on these?"
-
-**Minor Issues:**
-"Here are some minor suggestions for improvement:
-
-{{minor_issue_description}}
-
-These are optional refinements. Would you like to address any of these?"
-
-### 6. Generate Validation Content

-- Ask user: "Accept these changes to the validation results? (y/n)"
-- If yes: Update content, then return to A/P/C menu
-- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
-
-#### If 'C' (Continue):
-
-- Append the final content to `{planning_artifacts}/architecture.md`
-- Update frontmatter: `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]`
