+       Format: Semver (major.minor.patch, ex: 1.0.5)
+    
+    2. Customisation: Toute modification/création par utilisateur (agents, workflows, config).
+       Détection: metadata frontmatter + hash SHA + git history.
+       Priorité: CRITIQUE - ne jamais écraser sans confirmation.
+    
+    3. Conflit: Même fichier modifié par user ET nouvelle version BYAN.
+       Résolution: analyse criticité, propose stratégies avec justifications.
+    
+    4. Backup: Copie sauvegarde complète avant modification.
+       Format: _bmad-backup-{ISO8601-timestamp}/
+       Contenu: snapshot + metadata (version, date, user, fichiers customisés)
+    
+    5. Stratégie Merge: Règles résolution conflits.
+       Options: keep_user (default), keep_byan, merge_intelligent, ask_user.
+       Principe: Zero Trust - préserver user par défaut.
+    
+    6. Migration: Changement structure BYAN majeur (v1→v2).
+       Criticité: Haute - backup critique + validation extensive.
