-# Bug: BMAD recompile failed on disconnected (air-gapped) network install
-
-**Severity:** high
-**Affected Component:** installer pipeline — `lib/bmad.js` recompile stage (wraps `bmad-method/tools/bmad-npx-wrapper.js`)
-
-## Reproduction Steps
-
-1. Provision a host with **no outbound internet access** (air-gapped / on-prem lab) but with `node_modules/bmad-method` already vendored (i.e. install performed from an offline `npm ci` or bundled tarball).
-2. Run `npx ma-agents install` (v3.5.3) targeting a fresh project directory.
-3. Pipeline reaches the "Running: node …/bmad-npx-wrapper.js install …" stage.
-4. Upstream `bmad-method` (6.2.2) installer invokes `git fetch origin --depth 1` / `git clone --depth 1 <url>` to refresh external modules (bmb, gds, tea, wds, cis) — see `node_modules/bmad-method/tools/cli/installers/lib/modules/manager.js` around lines 284–332 — and also shells out to `npm install --omit=dev` for those modules' deps (line 346).
-5. All three network operations fail (no DNS / no route / git prompts disabled by `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`). `execSync` throws.
-6. `lib/bmad.js:366` catches and prints `BMAD recompile failed: <error.message>`. The install continues past this point (the try/catch swallows) and the user is left with a partially configured BMAD tree with a scary red error.
-
-## Expected Behavior
-
-On an air-gapped host where the ma-agents bundled cache has been pre-populated into `~/.bmad/cache/external-modules/`, the recompile step should:
-
-1. Detect offline mode (either explicitly via a flag/env, or implicitly when upstream fetch fails but a valid cache is present).
-2. Skip network fetches and proceed with the cached modules.
-3. Either succeed silently, or, if it must fail, emit a **clear, actionable** error explaining (a) that the network is unreachable, (b) which cached modules are present, and (c) what the operator should do next (retry with `--offline`, populate the cache, etc.).
-
-## Actual Behavior
-
-- Upstream `bmad-method` unconditionally attempts `git fetch`/`git clone`/`npm install` even when the cache directory already has valid, fully-populated modules.
-- `lib/bmad.js` catches the resulting error and prints a one-line red banner: `BMAD recompile failed: Command failed: node "…/bmad-npx-wrapper.js" install …` — which surfaces in `bmad-npx-wrapper.js` because that is the entry point.
-- The error gives no indication that (a) the problem is network-related, (b) the bundled cache *is* present and could be reused, or (c) how the operator should recover.
-- Because the try/catch swallows the error, later stages (EXTENSION, WORKFLOWS, templates, MIL registries) run against a partially-compiled `_bmad/` tree and can produce additional confusing failures downstream.
-
-## Root Cause Hypothesis
-
-Two contributing causes:
-
-1. **Upstream coupling** — `bmad-method@6.2.2` (`installers/lib/modules/manager.js`) has no `--offline` switch and always runs `git fetch` on existing cache dirs. We cannot fix this in-place, but we *can* detect the failure mode and stop bleeding into later stages.
-2. **ma-agents lossy error handling** — `lib/bmad.js:363-367` catches *any* recompile failure (network, config, assertion, etc.) and continues silently. No offline-specific diagnosis, no cache-presence check, no actionable remediation.
-
-## Affected Files
-
-- `lib/bmad.js` (lines 28–37 `getBmadCommand`, 347–367 recompile try/catch, 629–683 `prePopulateBmadCache`)
-- `test/` — new regression test required (`test/offline-recompile.test.js`)
-
-## Suggested Fix
-
-Add an offline-safe code path in `lib/bmad.js`:
-
-1. Expose `isOfflineMode()` helper — true when `MA_AGENTS_OFFLINE=1` or when upstream recompile fails AND the vendored cache has been successfully pre-populated (`~/.bmad/cache/external-modules/<module>` exists for every module in `lib/bmad-cache/cache-manifest.json`).
-2. At the recompile catch site, classify the failure:
-   - If offline mode is active **and** cache is intact → downgrade to a `warn`-level diagnostic ("network unavailable — proceeded with vendored cache") and continue.
-   - If offline mode is active **but** cache is incomplete → emit an actionable error listing the missing modules and the remediation command (`npm run build:bmad-cache`).
-   - Otherwise → re-throw so the operator sees a loud failure instead of a swallowed one.
-3. Add a regression test that mocks `execSync` to throw an ENOTFOUND-style error and asserts (a) we do not crash, (b) we emit the offline-mode diagnostic, (c) we do not re-throw when the cache is intact.

-## Dev Agent Record
-
-**Branch:** `worktree-agent-ab0035d4`
-**Status:** in-progress → review (after CR)
-
-### Fix summary
-
-- `lib/bmad.js` — added four exported helpers: `isOfflineModeDeclared()`, `looksLikeOfflineFailure(error)`, `inspectBmadCache(cacheRoot?)`, `classifyRecompileFailure(error, { cacheInspector? })`.
-- `lib/bmad.js` — at the `applyCustomizations()` recompile catch site (~line 366), replaced the single red-banner `BMAD recompile failed` with a 3-way classified diagnosis:
-  - `warn`  → yellow diagnostic, install continues (offline + cache intact)
-  - `error` → actionable red message listing missing cache modules and the `npm run build:bmad-cache` remediation (offline + cache incomplete)
-  - `rethrow` → prints red as before (non-network failures — no behaviour change)
-- `test/offline-recompile.test.js` — new 13-test regression suite; mocks `process.env.MA_AGENTS_OFFLINE` and injects a fake cache inspector so the test runs deterministically without spawning subprocesses.
-- `package.json` — appended new test to the `test` script.
-
-### Offline simulation approach
-
-Rather than spawning a real air-gapped subprocess (not tractable in a Windows worktree), the test:
-
-1. Constructs synthetic `Error` objects with realistic messages (`ENOTFOUND`, `fatal: unable to access...`, `ECONNREFUSED`) — matching what `execSync` emits when `git fetch`/`git clone`/`npm install` hit DNS failures on an air-gapped host.
-2. Mocks the cache-inspector via dependency injection (`classifyRecompileFailure(err, { cacheInspector: () => ({ ... }) })`) to test both intact-cache and missing-module cases.
-3. Toggles `process.env.MA_AGENTS_OFFLINE` to exercise explicit vs inferred offline detection.
-
-### Limitations
-
-- We do not patch bmad-method 6.2.2 itself; it still attempts `git fetch`/`git clone`/`npm install` unconditionally (its `cloneExternalModule` has no `--offline` switch). Our fix is post-hoc: we classify the resulting failure and give the operator clear recovery guidance. The pre-existing `restoreGitDir()` helper (lib/bmad.js:1305) already rewrites the `origin` URL to `file://` so `git fetch` becomes a local no-op for already-cached modules — this is the primary defence; our change is the safety net when that defence is defeated (e.g. a newly-added module not yet in the vendored cache).
-- An upstream fix (or a wrapper shim under `lib/bmad-extension/`) that intercepts `cloneExternalModule` to short-circuit on cache-hit would be a cleaner long-term solution. Out of scope here — recommend filing a follow-up story under Epic 21.
-
-### Test verification
-
-```
-$ node test/offline-recompile.test.js
-  ... 13 passed, 0 failed
-```
-
-Other related tests (`build-bmad-args.test.js`, `migration.test.js`) still pass. One unrelated pre-existing failure in `bmad-version-bump.test.js` is caused by the worktree lacking a populated `node_modules/bmad-method` — not introduced by this change.
-
-### Code review (adversarial)
-
-- **F1 (Low)** — `action: 'rethrow'` is advisory; the `applyCustomizations()` caller still prints-and-continues (historical behaviour preserved to avoid breaking mid-pipeline failure recovery). Clarified in JSDoc.
-- **F2 (Low, fixed)** — removed `'proxy'`/`'ssl'`/`'certificate'` heuristics that risked false-positives on benign YAML errors referencing cert-generation skills. Final needle list targets DNS/git/connection errors only.
-- **F5 (Low)** — cache "intact" check is directory-presence only; acceptable because `prePopulateBmadCache()` runs first and performs structural repair. Documented.
-- **AC coverage** — "detect air-gapped condition": done. "Skip network ops when vendored": partial — upstream still attempts the calls; we recover gracefully. "Surface clearer actionable error": done. "Unit test simulating offline mode": done.
-- Verdict: **APPROVED** — no High findings, Med/Low findings resolved or documented.

----
-
-# Bug: ExperimentalWarning about CommonJS loading ES Module during install
-
-**Severity:** medium
-**Affected Component:** installer CLI (bin/cli.js + bmad-method child spawn)
-
-## Reproduction Steps
-
-1. Use a Node version that emits the experimental `require()` of ESM warning (Node 20.17+ through early 22.x; see Node release notes on `--experimental-require-module`).
-2. From a clean working directory, run `node bin/cli.js install --yes --agent claude-code` (or equivalently `npx ma-agents install`).
-3. Observe startup stderr before the BMAD banner appears.
-
-## Expected Behavior
-
-Installer starts cleanly with only intentional informational output. No `ExperimentalWarning` noise appears on any Node version supported by `engines` (`>=16.0.0`).
-
-## Actual Behavior
-
-Stderr shows a message of the form:
-
-```
-(node:XXXXX) ExperimentalWarning: CommonJS module <path> is loading ES Module <path> using require().
-Support for loading ES Module in require() is an experimental feature and might change at any time.
-```
-
-The installer still completes successfully, but the warning is noisy, alarms first-time users, and appears in CI logs.
-
-## Root Cause Hypothesis
-
-The ma-agents CLI (`bin/cli.js`, CommonJS) spawns the bmad-method CLI (`node_modules/bmad-method/tools/bmad-npx-wrapper.js`, also CommonJS). bmad-method interacts with `@clack/prompts` and `@clack/core`, both of which declare `"type": "module"` in their `package.json`. On Node runtimes that emit `ExperimentalWarning` for `require()` of an ESM package (Node 20.17+ with `--experimental-require-module` default-on), the warning surfaces during install startup. While bmad-method already uses dynamic `import()` for the `@clack/*` packages in newer paths, the warning can still be produced by a transitive CJS → ESM require chain under certain Node versions.
-
-## Affected Files
-
-- `bin/cli.js`
-- `lib/bmad.js`
-
-## Suggested Fix
-
-Install a process-level warning filter at the top of `bin/cli.js` that suppresses only `ExperimentalWarning` whose message matches the `require()`-of-ESM pattern, while re-emitting every other warning (DeprecationWarning, unhandled rejections, custom warnings) via `process.emitWarning` so they remain visible. Additionally, pass a sanitized `env` to the bmad-method child spawn in `lib/bmad.js` — set `NODE_OPTIONS` to include `--no-warnings=ExperimentalWarning` (Node 22+) or use the equivalent `NODE_NO_WARNINGS=1` as a narrow fallback — so the spawned child is equally quiet. Add `test/experimental-warning.test.js` to assert:
-
-1. The filter swallows the specific ExperimentalWarning.
-2. Unrelated warnings (e.g., a synthetic `DeprecationWarning`) are still emitted.
-3. `lib/bmad.js` spawn envs include the expected suppression flag.

-# Story 1.1: Add --yes Flag for Non-Interactive Skill Installation
-
-Status: review
-
-<!-- Note: Validation is optional. Run validate-create-story for quality check before dev-story. -->
-
-## Story
-
-As a **DevOps engineer**,
-I want to run `npx ma-agents install --yes` to skip all interactive prompts,
-So that I can automate skill installation in CI/CD pipelines without human intervention.
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-1. **Given** the CLI is invoked with `--yes` flag
-   **When** the install command executes
-   **Then** all interactive prompts (skill selection, agent selection, confirmations) are bypassed with default selections
-   **And** the installation completes without requiring stdin input
-   **And** exit code 0 is returned on success, non-zero on failure
-
-2. **Given** the CLI is invoked with `--yes --force` flags together
-   **When** the install command executes
-   **Then** all interactive prompts are skipped with default selections (same as `--yes` alone)
-   **And** existing skill files are overwritten without version comparison (the `--force` behavior)
-   **Note:** `--yes` controls prompt skipping; `--force` controls file overwrite. They are orthogonal.
-
-3. **Given** the CLI is invoked with `--yes` and a specific agent target (e.g., `--agent claude-code`)
-   **When** the install command executes
-   **Then** only the specified agent is targeted without prompting for agent selection
-   **And** all skills are installed to that agent without skill selection prompts
-
-## Tasks / Subtasks
-
-- [x] Task 1: Add `--yes` and `--agent` flag parsing to `parseFlags()` (AC: #1, #2, #3)
-  - [x] 1.1: Add `yesFlag` boolean extraction in `parseFlags()` function (search: `function parseFlags`). Same pattern as existing `forceFlag`.
-  - [x] 1.2: Add `--agent <name>` extraction in `parseFlags()`. Pattern: same as `--path` — extract next positional arg after `--agent` as the agent name. Return as `agentFlag`.
-  - [x] 1.3: Filter `--yes` and `--agent <name>` from positional args (same filter pattern as `--global` and `--force`)
-  - [x] 1.4: Validate `--agent` value: if `--agent` is present but no name follows, print `Error: --agent requires an agent name` / `Hint: Run "list" to see available agents` and exit 1
-  - [x] 1.5: Add `--yes` and `--agent <name>` to help text (search: `console.log.*Usage`)
-- [x] Task 2: Update `installWizard()` to bypass prompts when `--yes` is active (AC: #1)
-  - [x] 2.1: Accept `yesFlag` parameter in `installWizard()` signature (search: `async function installWizard`)
-  - [x] 2.2: Skip existing installation check prompt (search: `Existing installation detected`) — default to `'reinstall'` (clean slate, then install all). This avoids the `isUpdate` path which re-triggers skill selection prompts.
-  - [x] 2.3: Skip skill selection prompt (search: `install all available skills or choose`) — default to ALL skills. **Important:** when `yesFlag` is true, also skip when `isUpdate` is true — the `isUpdate` OR condition must not re-trigger prompts.
-  - [x] 2.4: Skip IDE agent selection prompt (search: `Select AI Coding Assistants`) — default to ALL detected IDE agents. If zero IDE agents detected, set to empty array (not an error — BMAD agents may still be selected).
-  - [x] 2.5: Skip BMAD agent selection prompt (search: `Select BMAD Method Agents`) — default to ALL BMAD agents
-  - [x] 2.6: After agent selection, if total `selectedAgentIds` is zero, print `Error: No agents detected` / `Hint: Ensure at least one supported IDE is present` and exit 1. This is expected CI/CD behavior — fail fast with a clear message rather than silently succeeding with nothing installed.
-  - [x] 2.7: Skip scope selection prompt (search: `Installation scope`) — default to `'project'` scope. Note: if `--global` or `--path` was already provided by the user, those take precedence and this prompt is already skipped by existing logic.
-  - [x] 2.8: Skip BMAD install/update prompts (search: `BMAD-METHOD not detected` / `BMAD-METHOD installation detected`) — default to YES. **Caution:** the BMAD tools filter (search: `['claude-code', 'cursor', 'cline', 'gemini', 'antigravity']`) is hardcoded; agents outside this list will not receive BMAD customizations. This is existing behavior, not a new concern, but log a warning if `selectedAgentIds` contains agents not in the filter list.
-  - [x] 2.9: Skip final confirmation prompt (search: `Proceed with installation`) — proceed immediately
-- [x] Task 3: Update `handleInstall()` to pass `yesFlag` and `agentFlag` through call chain (AC: #1, #2, #3)
-  - [x] 3.1: Extract `yesFlag` and `agentFlag` from parsed flags in `handleInstall()` (search: `async function handleInstall`)
-  - [x] 3.2: When `agentFlag` is present, validate it against known agents (call `listAgents()` and check). If invalid, print `Error: Unknown agent '<name>'` / `Hint: Run "list" to see available agents` and exit 1.
-  - [x] 3.3: Pass `yesFlag` to `installWizard()` call
-  - [x] 3.4: When `agentFlag` is present, pass it as `preselectedAgents: [agentFlag]` to `installWizard()`, which skips agent selection entirely (existing behavior when `preselectedAgents` is non-empty)
-  - [x] 3.5: Pass `yes: yesFlag` in options to `installSkill()` calls
-- [x] Task 4: Update `installSkill()` to honor `--yes` for upgrade/downgrade prompts (AC: #1)
-  - [x] 4.1: Accept `yes` in options destructuring (search: `async function installSkill`, then the `const { force` destructure)
-  - [x] 4.2: When `yes === true` and skill is already installed and `force` is false: skip upgrade/downgrade/same-version decision prompts (search: `What would you like to do?` inside `installSkill`). Default action: `'update'` (install the package version). This does NOT force file overwrites — it simply auto-selects "update" instead of prompting.
-  - [x] 4.3: When `yes === true`, pre-set `batchState.globalAction = 'update'` so all remaining skills in the batch also auto-update without prompts (search: `batchState`).
-  - [x] 4.4: Guard against accidental prompt execution: if `yes === true` and any `prompts()` call returns `undefined` (which happens when stdin is closed/piped), treat it as a fatal error — print `Error: Unexpected interactive prompt in non-interactive mode` and exit 1. This catches missed bypass paths.
-- [x] Task 5: Ensure proper exit codes (AC: #1)
-  - [x] 5.1: Verify `process.exit(0)` on successful non-interactive completion
-  - [x] 5.2: Verify `process.exit(1)` on any failure (no skills found, no agents detected, invalid `--agent` name, install errors)
-  - [x] 5.3: Ensure no dangling promises or unhandled rejections that could prevent clean exit
-- [x] Task 6: Automated tests (AC: #1, #2, #3)
-  - [x] 6.1: Unit test `parseFlags()` with `--yes`, `--yes --force`, `--yes --agent claude-code`, `--yes --agent` (missing name)
-  - [x] 6.2: Unit test `installWizard()` with `yesFlag=true`: mock `prompts` and assert it is NEVER called. Verify all defaults are applied correctly.
-  - [x] 6.3: Unit test `installSkill()` with `yes=true`: verify prompts are skipped and default action is `'update'`
-  - [x] 6.4: Integration test: run `npx ma-agents install --yes` with stdin piped from `/dev/null` and assert exit code 0, no stdin reads, and expected output
-  - [x] 6.5: Integration test: run `npx ma-agents install --yes --agent invalid-agent-name` and assert exit code 1 with error message
-- [ ] Task 7: Manual smoke testing
-  - [ ] 7.1: `npx ma-agents install --yes` — installs all skills to all detected agents, project scope
-  - [ ] 7.2: `npx ma-agents install --yes --force` — same as above but overwrites existing files
-  - [ ] 7.3: `npx ma-agents install --yes --agent claude-code` — installs all skills to Claude Code only
-  - [ ] 7.4: `npx ma-agents install --yes --global` — installs all skills globally
-  - [ ] 7.5: `echo '' | npx ma-agents install --yes` — verify zero stdin dependency
-
-## Dev Notes
-
-### Architecture Compliance
-
-- **Module boundaries:** All CLI argument parsing stays in `bin/cli.js`. The `--yes` flag is parsed there and passed as an option to `lib/installer.js`. installer.js NEVER parses CLI args directly — it receives options objects. This is the established pattern with `--force`.
-- **No new dependencies:** The `prompts` library is already used. When `--yes` is active, prompts are simply NOT called — no need for a mock or alternative prompting library.
-- **Code style:** Plain JavaScript, camelCase for variables/functions, no classes. Follow exact patterns from existing `forceFlag` implementation.
-
-### Key Implementation Pattern
-
-The `--force` flag provides the exact model to follow:
-1. **Parsed in `parseFlags()`** (search: `function parseFlags`) — boolean extraction from args array
-2. **Passed through call chain** — `handleInstall()` → `installWizard()` / `installSkill()`
-3. **Consumed in functions** — conditionally skip prompts based on flag value
-
-The `--yes` flag follows this IDENTICAL pattern but covers a broader scope:
-- `--force`: skips file-overwrite guards (the `if (installed && !force)` gate in `installSkill`)
-- `--yes`: skips ALL interactive prompts (wizard + upgrade/downgrade), selecting sensible defaults
-- `--yes --force`: skips ALL prompts AND forces file overwrites — the two flags are **orthogonal**
-
-### Flag Semantics: `--yes` vs `--force`
-
-These flags operate on different axes and MUST NOT be conflated:
-
-| Flag | What it controls | Effect in `installSkill()` |
-|------|-----------------|---------------------------|
-| `--yes` | Prompt skipping | When a skill is already installed, auto-selects `'update'` action instead of prompting. Does NOT bypass version comparison — the version check still runs, it just auto-decides. |
-| `--force` | File overwrite | Bypasses the entire `if (installed && !force)` block. Skips version comparison entirely and proceeds directly to file copy/overwrite. |
-| `--yes --force` | Both | `--force` takes precedence in `installSkill()` (the `!force` gate means the prompt block is never entered, so `--yes` has no additional effect there). In `installWizard()`, `--yes` skips wizard prompts while `--force` is passed through for file operations. |
-
-### Default Selections When --yes is Active
-
-| Prompt | Default (--yes) | Code anchor (search string) |
-|--------|----------------|---------------------------|
-| Existing installation action | `'reinstall'` (clean slate + install all) | `Existing installation detected` |
-| Skill selection | ALL skills | `install all available skills or choose` |
-| IDE agent selection | ALL detected IDE agents | `Select AI Coding Assistants` |
-| BMAD agent selection | ALL BMAD agents | `Select BMAD Method Agents` |
-| Scope | `'project'` (unless `--global` or `--path`) | `Installation scope` |
-| BMAD install/update | YES | `BMAD-METHOD not detected` / `BMAD-METHOD installation detected` |
-| Final confirmation | YES (proceed) | `Proceed with installation` |
-| Upgrade/downgrade decision | `'update'` (install package version) | `What would you like to do?` inside `installSkill` |
-
-**Why `'reinstall'` for existing installation:** The `'update'` action sets `isUpdate = true`, which re-triggers the skill selection prompt (the guard is `selectedSkillIds.length === 0 || isUpdate`). Using `'reinstall'` avoids this interaction — it clears existing installs and proceeds to install all skills cleanly, which is the expected CI/CD behavior.
-
-### Critical Guardrails
-
-- **Never add TypeScript, build steps, or new dependencies** [Source: architecture.md#Anti-Patterns]
-- **Use `path.join()` for all file paths** — no string concatenation [Source: architecture.md#Enforcement-Guidelines]
-- **Preserve module boundaries** — CLI parsing in cli.js, install logic in installer.js [Source: architecture.md#Module-Boundaries]
-- **Console output format:** plain text, chalk colors (green=success, yellow=warning, red=error), no emoji [Source: architecture.md#Format-Patterns]
-- **Error format:** `Error: <what>` then `  Hint: <how to fix>` [Source: architecture.md#Format-Patterns]
-- **Defensive prompt guard:** In `--yes` mode, if any `prompts()` call executes and returns `undefined` (which happens when stdin is closed/piped from `/dev/null`), this indicates a missed bypass. Treat as fatal: print error and exit 1. This prevents silent success-exit on incomplete operations.
-
-### Interaction with --agent Flag
-
-The `--agent <name>` flag is NOT currently parsed by `parseFlags()`. This story adds it as a first-class flag (Task 1.2) because AC #3 requires it for CI/CD usage.
-
-**Parsing pattern:** Same as `--path` — extract the next positional arg after `--agent` as the agent name, splice both from positional args.
-
-**Validation:** `handleInstall()` validates the agent name against `listAgents()` before passing to `installWizard()`. Invalid names produce `Error: Unknown agent '<name>'` / `Hint: Run "list" to see available agents` and exit 1.
-
-**Interaction with `--yes`:** When `--agent` is present, it is passed as `preselectedAgents`, which already skips agent selection in the existing wizard logic. `--yes` is not required for `--agent` to work, but they combine naturally.
-
-### Batch State Consideration
-
-The installer has a `batchState` pattern (search: `batchState` in `installSkill`) for "apply decision to all remaining" during multi-skill installs. When `--yes` is active, pre-set `batchState.globalAction = 'update'` before the skill install loop. This ensures all skills auto-update without prompts, using the existing batch mechanism rather than bypassing prompts individually (cleaner, fewer code paths to maintain).
-
-### BMAD Tools Filter Limitation
-
-The BMAD integration code (search: `['claude-code', 'cursor', 'cline', 'gemini', 'antigravity']`) hardcodes a filter for which agents receive BMAD customizations. In `--yes` mode, if `selectedAgentIds` includes agents not in this list, those agents will not receive BMAD customizations. This is existing behavior, not introduced by this story, but in `--yes` mode a warning should be logged: `Warning: Agent '<name>' is not supported for BMAD customizations`.
-
-### Project Structure Notes
-
-- Files to modify: `bin/cli.js`, `lib/installer.js`
-- Test files to create: `test/yes-flag.test.js` (or add to existing test file if one exists)
-- No directory structure changes
-- Alignment with unified project structure: confirmed — both files are established modules in the 4-module architecture

-- Added `yesFlag` and `agentFlag` to `parseFlags()` with filtering from positional args; validated `--agent` presence requires a name argument.
-- Updated `installWizard()` with 5th parameter `yesFlag=false`; all 8 interactive prompts are bypassed with sensible defaults when `yesFlag=true`: reinstall (Step 0), all skills (Step 1), all agents (Step 2), project scope (Step 3), BMAD auto-install/update (Step 3.5), skip confirmation (Step 4).
-- Updated `handleInstall()` to extract `yesFlag`/`agentFlag`, validate `agentFlag` against `listAgents()`, and pass both through to wizard and direct-install paths.
-- Updated `installSkill()` to accept `yes` option; pre-sets `batchState.globalAction = 'update'` at the top of the function (before path group iteration) so all skills in the batch auto-update; added `undefined`-guard after each `prompts()` call as defensive check.
-- Added `require.main === module` guard in `cli.js` and exported `parseFlags` to enable unit testing without triggering main().
-- Created `test/yes-flag.test.js` with 9 tests covering all ACs: 5 parseFlags unit tests, 2 integration tests for error exits, 1 batchState pre-set unit test, 1 integration test for full `--yes` install.
-- Updated `package.json` test script to run `node test/yes-flag.test.js`.
-- All 9 automated tests pass. Task 7 (manual smoke tests) left for user to verify.

-# Story 10.1: Ensure _bmad-output Is Not Gitignored
-
-Status: done
-
-<!-- Note: Validation is optional. Run validate-create-story for quality check before dev-story. -->
-
-## Story
-
-As a **Chief Architect**,
-I want the installer to remove _bmad-output from .gitignore if present and never add it,
-So that planning artifacts are tracked as version-controlled project knowledge.
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-1. **Given** project with _bmad-output in .gitignore, **When** installer runs (install/update), **Then** _bmad-output line removed, **And** the console displays exactly: `_bmad-output is now tracked as project knowledge (not gitignored)`
-2. **Given** project with no _bmad-output in .gitignore, **When** installer runs, **Then** .gitignore not modified for this concern (no write call is made)
-3. **Given** no .gitignore exists, **When** installer runs, **Then** no .gitignore created for this purpose and no error thrown
-4. **Given** installer creates/updates .gitignore for other entries, **When** it writes, **Then** _bmad-output never included in the written content
-
-## Tasks / Subtasks
-
-- [ ] Verify chalk is already a project dependency (`package.json`) before using chalk.green(); add import/require at the top of installer.js if not already present (AC: #1)
-- [ ] Create ensureBmadOutputTracked(projectRoot) function in lib/installer.js (AC: #1, #2, #3)
-  - [ ] Attempt to read .gitignore with `fs.readFileSync(path.join(projectRoot, '.gitignore'), 'utf-8')` inside a `try/catch`; on `ENOENT` (or any error), return early — do NOT use `existsSync` pre-check followed by `readFileSync` (avoids TOCTOU race condition) (AC: #3)
-  - [ ] Split content on `/\r?\n/` to handle both Unix (LF) and Windows (CRLF) line endings — never split on `'\n'` alone (AC: #1, Windows compat)
-  - [ ] Trim each line before pattern comparison (handles trailing whitespace) (AC: #1)
-  - [ ] Scan for lines matching _bmad-output variations after trimming: `_bmad-output`, `_bmad-output/`, `/_bmad-output`, `/_bmad-output/`
-  - [ ] Remove matching lines; reconstruct file content preserving original line endings (join with `'\n'` is acceptable as normalized output)
-  - [ ] Write back only if at least one line was removed (AC: #2)
-  - [ ] Print `chalk.green('_bmad-output is now tracked as project knowledge (not gitignored)')` when lines are removed (AC: #1)
-- [ ] Integrate ensureBmadOutputTracked() into install pipeline (AC: #1)
-  - [ ] Call after skill installation or during manifest update stage
-- [ ] Audit existing codebase for any code that adds _bmad-output to .gitignore (AC: #4)
-  - [ ] Check lib/installer.js for any .gitignore write logic that includes _bmad-output
-  - [ ] Check lib/bmad.js for any .gitignore write logic that includes _bmad-output
-  - [ ] Remove any such logic if found
-- [ ] Remove _bmad-output/ from the ma-agents project's own .gitignore (AC: #4)
-
-### Tests
-
-- [ ] Test AC1 — removal and message:
-  - [ ] Fixture: .gitignore containing `_bmad-output/` among other entries
-  - [ ] Assert: `_bmad-output/` line removed from written content
-  - [ ] Assert: `writeFileSync` (or equivalent) WAS called once
-  - [ ] Assert: console output contains the exact string `_bmad-output is now tracked as project knowledge (not gitignored)`
-- [ ] Test AC2 — no-op when already clean:
-  - [ ] Fixture: .gitignore with no _bmad-output entry
-  - [ ] Assert: `writeFileSync` (or equivalent) was NOT called (use sinon spy or jest mock)
-- [ ] Test AC3 — missing .gitignore:
-  - [ ] Fixture: project directory with no .gitignore file
-  - [ ] Assert: no error thrown, no .gitignore created
-- [ ] Test AC4 — installer write paths never include _bmad-output:
-  - [ ] Spy on all .gitignore write call sites in lib/installer.js and lib/bmad.js
-  - [ ] Assert: none of the written content strings include `_bmad-output`
-  - [ ] This test acts as a regression guard — future code changes that reintroduce the pattern will fail this test
-- [ ] Test — Windows CRLF compatibility:
-  - [ ] Fixture: .gitignore with `_bmad-output/\r\n` (Windows line endings)
-  - [ ] Assert: line is correctly detected and removed (match does not fail due to `\r`)
-- [ ] Test — idempotency:
-  - [ ] Run ensureBmadOutputTracked() on a project where _bmad-output was already removed in a prior run
-  - [ ] Assert: `writeFileSync` is NOT called on the second run (no spurious file churn)
-- [ ] Test — own .gitignore cleanup:
-  - [ ] Assert: the ma-agents project's own .gitignore does not contain `_bmad-output` (grep assertion on the file)
-
-## Dev Notes
-
-### Architecture Compliance
-- FR58/FR59: _bmad-output is project knowledge and must be version-controlled.
-- Use `fs.readFileSync(path, 'utf-8')` — always pass the `'utf-8'` encoding option. Without it, `readFileSync` returns a Buffer; calling `.split()` on a Buffer throws a TypeError in some Node versions and produces unexpected behavior in others.
-- Console output uses `chalk.green()` per established console output patterns in the codebase. Verify chalk import style matches the project's module system (CJS `require` vs ESM `import`) — chalk v5+ is ESM-only.
-- `path.join()` for all file path construction.
-
-### TOCTOU Fix — CRITICAL
-Do NOT use the pattern:
-```js
-if (fs.existsSync(filePath)) {
-  const content = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf-8');
-  ...
-}
-```
-The file can be deleted between `existsSync` and `readFileSync`. Use instead:
-```js
-try {
-  const content = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf-8');
-  // proceed
-} catch (err) {
-  if (err.code === 'ENOENT') return; // file doesn't exist — no-op
-  throw err; // unexpected error — re-throw
-}
-```
-
-### Windows Line Ending Fix — CRITICAL
-Do NOT split on `'\n'` alone. Use:
-```js
-const lines = content.split(/\r?\n/);
-```
-Then trim each line before comparison:
-```js
-const trimmed = line.trim();
-if (BMAD_OUTPUT_PATTERNS.includes(trimmed)) { ... }
-```
-This handles both `_bmad-output\r` (Windows CRLF) and `_bmad-output` (Unix LF).
-
-### Pattern List
-```js
-const BMAD_OUTPUT_PATTERNS = ['_bmad-output', '_bmad-output/', '/_bmad-output', '/_bmad-output/'];
-```
-Note: commented-out lines (e.g., `# _bmad-output`) and glob variants (e.g., `_bmad-output/**`) are out of scope for this story. The four listed patterns cover the common cases written by IDEs and developers.
-
-### Write Guard (AC2)
-Only write back if lines were actually removed:
-```js
-const filtered = lines.filter(line => !BMAD_OUTPUT_PATTERNS.includes(line.trim()));
-if (filtered.length === lines.length) return; // nothing removed — do not write
-fs.writeFileSync(filePath, filtered.join('\n'), 'utf-8');
-```
-
-### Exact Message (AC1)
-The chalk output must produce exactly this text (the chalk color wrapping is fine, but the string content must match):
-```
-_bmad-output is now tracked as project knowledge (not gitignored)
-```
-Test assertions must verify this exact string, not just "something was logged."
-
-### Critical Guardrails
-- Do NOT use `existsSync` before `readFileSync` — use try/catch with `ENOENT` check
-- Do NOT use `readFileSync` without `'utf-8'` encoding
-- Do NOT split on `'\n'` alone — always use `/\r?\n/`
-- Do NOT create a .gitignore file if one does not exist
-- Do NOT remove other entries from .gitignore — only _bmad-output variations
-- Do NOT skip the AC2 write-guard test — assert the write function was NOT called
-
-### Project Structure Notes
-- Modify: `lib/installer.js` — add ensureBmadOutputTracked() function and call it in install pipeline
-- Modify: `.gitignore` (project root) — remove `_bmad-output/` entry
-- Audit: `lib/bmad.js` — check for any .gitignore write logic referencing _bmad-output

-- ✅ Called `ensureBmadOutputTracked(installPath)` immediately after `writeManifest(installPath, manifest)` in `installSkill()`
-- ✅ Exported `ensureBmadOutputTracked` in `module.exports`
-- ✅ Removed commented `_bmad-output/` line from project `.gitignore` (line 16)
