+## Executive Summary
+
+### Overview
+Keep est une application de prise de notes intelligente avec intégration d'IA pour améliorer l'organisation et la découverte de connaissances. Ce PRD v2.0 définit la refonte complète de l'interface utilisateur pour offrir une expérience moderne, cohérente et accessible sur tous les appareils.
+
+### Key Changes from v1.0
+
+| Aspect | v1.0 (Current) | v2.0 (Proposed) |
+|--------|----------------|------------------|
+| Design | Incohérent, composants disparates | Design System unifié avec composants réutilisables |
+| Desktop | Masonry grid basique | Masonry amélioré avec hero cards + menu "..." |
+| Mobile | Desktop responsive non optimisé | Mobile-first avec drawer, FAB, swipe gestures |
+| Admin | Fonctionnal mais design daté | Dashboard moderne avec métriques temps réel |
+| Profil | Basique | Profil enrichi avec bannière, statistiques, thèmes |
+| Tests | Playwright partiel | Suite de tests complète (50+ tests) |
+| Modales | Testées partiellement | Toutes modales testées avec procédure échec |
+
+### Objectifs Principaux
+
+1. **Design Unifié** : Créer un Design System cohérent pour desktop, mobile, admin et profil
+2. **UX Mobile-First** : Optimiser l'expérience mobile avec patterns modernes (FAB, swipe, gestures)
+3. **Tests Complets** : Créer une suite de tests Playwright complète pour TOUS les workflows
+4. **Innovation Continue** : Identifier et implémenter 5-10 nouvelles fonctionnalités innovantes
+5. **Accessibilité Totale** : WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance sur toutes les interfaces
+
+---
+
+## Product Vision
+
+### Vision Statement
+
+> "Keep est la solution de prise de notes ultime qui combine la simplicité avec l'intelligence artificielle pour transformer la manière dont les gens captent, organisent et découvrent leurs idées, quel que soit leur appareil."
+
+### Core Values
+
+1. **Simplicité** : Interface intuitive, fonctionnalités accessibles en moins de 3 clics
+2. **Intelligence** : IA proactive qui suggère, organise et connecte automatiquement
+3. **Flexibilité** : Travaillez n'importe où, n'importe quand, sur n'importe quel appareil
+4. **Confidentialité** : Contrôle total sur vos données (local ou cloud)
+5. **Accessibilité** : Accessible à tous, quel que soit leur capacité ou appareil
+
+---
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+### Current Pain Points
+
+1. **Incohérence Visuelle**
+ - Problème : L'interface a l'air "bricolé", sans design system
+ - Impact : Confusion utilisateurs, mauvaise impression première
+ - Métaphore : "Ça ressemble à un collage d'interfaces différentes"
+
+2. **Expérience Mobile Suboptimale**
+ - Problème : Mobile est une version responsive desktop, pas mobile-first
+ - Impact : Difficulté d'utilisation sur petits écrans, touch targets trop petits
+ - Métaphore : "Comme utiliser un ordinateur sur un téléphone"
+
+3. **Tests Insuffisants**
+ - Problème : Seuls quelques workflows sont testés
+ - Impact : Bugs en production, regression non détectée
+ - Métaphore : "Construire une maison sans faire d'inspections"
+
+4. **Modales Non Testées**
+ - Problème : 13 modales/popups sans tests automatisés
+ - Impact : Risque élevé de bugs, UX incohérente
+ - Métaphore : "13 portes sans savoir si elles s'ouvrent"
+
+5. **Admin et Profil Datés**
+ - Problème : Interfaces fonctionnelles mais design années 2010
+ - Impact : Mauvaise impression pour admins et utilisateurs
+ - Métaphore : "Interface utilitaire mais pas engageante"
+
+### User Feedback (Hypothétique)
+
+> "L'application fonctionne bien mais elle manque de cohérence visuelle. Sur mobile, c'est difficile de naviguer. J'ai parfois des bugs avec les popups." - Utilisateur typique

-### Story 1.3: User Interaction & Feedback
-**As a user, I want to accept, modify, or reject title suggestions, so that I maintain full control over my note organization.**
+### Story 10.1: Implement Spacing Scale (4px Base Unit)
+
+As a **developer**,
+I want **a consistent spacing scale based on 4px units**,
+So that **all components have consistent padding, margins, and gaps**.
**Acceptance Criteria:**
-- **Given** 3 AI-generated title suggestions
-- **When** I click the toast notification
-- **Then** a modal displays the 3 suggestions
-- **And** I can click any suggestion to apply it as the note title
-- **And** I can click "Dismiss" to ignore all suggestions
-- **And** the modal closes automatically after selection or dismissal
-**Technical Requirements:**
-- Component: `AiSuggestionModal` (extends `components/ai/ai-suggestion.tsx`)
-- Server Action: `updateNote(noteId, { title })`
-- Feedback: Store user choice in `AiFeedback` table
- - `feedbackType`: 'thumbs_up' if accepted without modification
- - `feature`: 'title_suggestion'
- - `originalContent`: All 3 suggestions (JSON array)
- - `correctedContent`: User's final choice (or modified title)
+**Given** I am implementing or updating a component
+**When** I apply spacing
+**Then** I should use the 4px base unit scale:
+ - `p-1` = 4px
+ - `p-2` = 8px
+ - `p-3` = 12px
+ - `p-4` = 16px
+ - `p-6` = 24px
+**And** all cards should use `p-4` (16px) for padding
+**And** all gaps between elements should follow the scale
+**And** all margins should follow the scale
+**And** the spacing should be consistent across similar components
-**UI/UX Requirements (from UX Design Spec):**
-- Modal design: Clean, centered, with card-style suggestions
-- Each suggestion: Clickable card with hover effect
-- "Dismiss" button: Secondary action at bottom
-- Auto-close after selection (no confirmation dialog)
-- If user modifies title: Record as 'correction' feedback
-
-**Implementation Files:**
-- Modal: `components/ai/ai-suggestion.tsx` (NEW)
-- Server Action: `app/actions/ai-suggestions.ts` (NEW)
-- API Route: `/api/ai/feedback` (NEW) - stores feedback
-
-**Database Updates:**
-```typescript
-// When user accepts a title
-await prisma.note.update({
- where: { id: noteId },
- data: {
- title: selectedTitle,
- autoGenerated: true,
- aiProvider: currentProvider,
- aiConfidence: 85, // Placeholder - Phase 3 will calculate
- lastAiAnalysis: new Date()
- }
-})
-
-// Store feedback for Phase 3 trust scoring
-await prisma.aiFeedback.create({
- data: {
- noteId,
- userId: session.user.id,
- feedbackType: 'thumbs_up',
- feature: 'title_suggestion',
- originalContent: JSON.stringify(allThreeSuggestions),
- correctedContent: selectedTitle,
- metadata: JSON.stringify({
- provider: currentProvider,
- model: modelName,
- timestamp: new Date()
- })
- }
-})
-```
+**Technical Notes:**
+- Update Tailwind config if needed
+- Audit all components for spacing inconsistencies

+
+As a **desktop user**,
+I want **a clean, modern notebook page layout with improved visual hierarchy**,
+So that **I can navigate and find my notes easily**.
**Acceptance Criteria:**
-- **Given** a user search query
-- **When** the search is executed
-- **Then** the system generates a vector embedding for the query
-- **And** the embedding is stored in memory (not persisted)
-- **And** generation completes within < 200ms
-**Technical Requirements:**
-- Service: `SemanticSearchService` in `lib/ai/services/semantic-search.service.ts`
-- Provider: Uses `getAIProvider()` factory
-- Embedding Model: `text-embedding-3-small` (OpenAI) or Ollama equivalent
-- Language Detection: Optional (can detect query language for better results)
-- Caching: Query embeddings cached in React Cache (5-minute TTL)
+**Given** I am using the app on desktop (1024px+)
+**When** I view the notebook main page
+**Then** I should see a clean layout with sidebar on the left and content area on the right
+**And** the sidebar should show: notebook list, filters, and actions
+**And** the content area should show: note cards in a responsive grid
+**And** the spacing should be consistent and visually pleasing
+**And** the typography should be clear and readable
+**And** the design should match the reference HTML `code.html`

+### Story 13.2: Refactor Note Cards Display
+
+As a **desktop user**,
+I want **modern, clean note cards with improved visual design**,
+So that **I can quickly scan and identify notes**.
**Acceptance Criteria:**
-- **Given** a query embedding and all user note embeddings
-- **When** similarity calculation runs
-- **Then** the system calculates cosine similarity for each note
-- **And** returns notes ranked by similarity score (descending)
-- **And** calculation completes within < 300ms for 1000 notes
-**Technical Requirements:**
-- Algorithm: Cosine similarity
-- Formula: `similarity = dotProduct(queryEmbedding, noteEmbedding) / (magnitude(query) * magnitude(note))`
-- Threshold: Notes with similarity < 0.3 are filtered out
-- Performance: In-memory calculation (no separate vector DB for Phase 1)
+**Given** I am viewing notes on desktop
+**When** I look at note cards
+**Then** each card should show: title, preview, labels, date, and metadata
+**And** cards should have consistent sizing and spacing
+**And** cards should have hover states (slight elevation or color change)
+**And** cards should support pinned state with visual indicator
+**And** cards should display image thumbnails when present
+**And** the grid layout should be responsive (adjust columns based on screen width)
-**Implementation:**
-```typescript
-// lib/ai/services/semantic-search.service.ts
-async searchBySimilarity(
- queryEmbedding: number[],
- userId: string
-): Promise> {
- // Fetch all user notes with embeddings
- const notes = await prisma.note.findMany({
- where: { userId },
- select: { id: true, title: true, content: true, embedding: true }
- })
-
- // Calculate cosine similarity
- const results = notes
- .map(note => ({
- note,
- score: cosineSimilarity(queryEmbedding, JSON.parse(note.embedding))
- }))
- .filter(r => r.score > 0.3) // Threshold filter
- .sort((a, b) => b.score - a.score)
-
- return results
-}
-```
+**Technical Notes:**
+- Use Card component from Design System
+- Implement masonry or responsive grid layout
+- Add hover animations (elevation or scale)
+- Consistent card padding and border radius
+- Optimize image thumbnails

- if (scoredNotes.has(note.id)) {
- const existing = scoredNotes.get(note.id)
- existing.semanticScore = rrf
- existing.combinedScore += rrf
- } else {
- scoredNotes.set(note.id, {
- note,
- keywordScore: 0,
- semanticScore: rrf,
- combinedScore: rrf
- })
- }
- })
-
- // Convert to array and sort by combined score
- return Array.from(scoredNotes.values())
- .sort((a, b) => b.combinedScore - a.combinedScore)
- .slice(0, 20) // Top 20 results
-}
-```
-
-**UI Requirements (from UX Design Spec):**
-- Component: `components/ai/semantic-search-results.tsx` (NEW)
-- Badge display:
- - "Exact Match" badge: Blue background, shown if `keywordScore > 0`

-## Epic 4: Memory Echo (Proactive Connections)
+### Story 13.6: Improve Navigation and Breadcrumbs
-### Overview
-Background process that identifies connections between notes using cosine similarity. Displays 1 insight per day (max similarity > 0.75).
-
-**User Stories:** 2
-**Estimated Complexity:** High
-**Dependencies:** Existing embeddings system, Decision 2 (Server Action + Queue pattern)
-
-### Story 4.1: Background Insight Generation
-**As a system, I want to analyze all user note embeddings daily to find connections, so that I can proactively suggest related notes.**
+As a **desktop user**,
+I want **clear navigation with breadcrumbs and visual hierarchy**,
+So that **I always know where I am in the application**.
**Acceptance Criteria:**
-- **Given** a user with 10+ notes (each with embeddings)
-- **When** the user logs in
-- **And** no insight has been generated today
-- **Then** the system triggers background analysis
-- **And** calculates cosine similarity between all note pairs
-- **And** finds the top pair with similarity > 0.75
-- **And** stores the insight in `MemoryEchoInsight` table
-- **And** UI freeze is < 100ms (only DB check, background processing)
-**Technical Requirements:**
-- Server Action: `app/actions/ai-memory-echo.ts` (NEW)
-- Service: `MemoryEchoService` in `lib/ai/services/memory-echo.service.ts` (NEW)
-- Trigger: User login check (in layout or dashboard)
-- Constraint: Max 1 insight per user per day (enforced via DB unique constraint)
-- Performance: < 100ms UI freeze (async processing)
+**Given** I am navigating the application on desktop
+**When** I move between pages
+**Then** I should see breadcrumbs showing my current location
+**And** I should be able to click breadcrumbs to go back
+**And** the active page should be visually highlighted
+**And** navigation should be consistent across all pages
+**And** navigation should support keyboard shortcuts
-**Implementation:**

-### Story 6.1: TinyLD Integration for Short Notes
-**As a system, I want to detect note language efficiently for notes < 50 words using TinyLD, so that I can enable multilingual AI processing.**
+As an **administrator**,
+I want **clear, readable metrics with improved visual design**,
+So that **I can understand application performance at a glance**.
**Acceptance Criteria:**
-- **Given** a note with < 50 words
-- **When** the note is saved or analyzed
-- **Then** the system detects language using TinyLD
-- **And** detection completes in < 10ms
-- **And** the detected language is stored in `Note.language` field
-- **And** confidence score is stored in `Note.languageConfidence` field
-**Technical Requirements:**
-- Library: `tinyld` (npm install tinyld)
-- Service: `LanguageDetectionService` in `lib/ai/services/language-detection.service.ts`
-- Supported Languages: 62 (including Persian/fa verified)
-- Output Format: ISO 639-1 codes (fr, en, es, de, fa, etc.)
+**Given** I am viewing the admin dashboard
+**When** I look at the metrics
+**Then** I should see: total users, active users, total notes, AI usage, etc.
+**And** each metric should be displayed in a card with label and value
+**And** I should be able to filter metrics by time period (today, week, month, custom)
+**And** I should see trend indicators (up/down arrows with percentages)
+**And** the metrics should be easy to scan and understand
+**And** I should be able to click a metric to see more details
-**Implementation:**
-```typescript

+
+const USER_SERVICE = process.env.USER_SERVICE_URL || 'http://localhost:3001';

+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Test multiple services without browser
+- Use `baseUrl` to target different services
+- Validate cross-service communication
+- Pure API testing - fast and reliable

+ input: { name: 'GraphQL User', email: 'gql@example.com' },
+ },
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+ expect(body.data.createUser.id).toBeDefined();
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- GraphQL via POST request
+- Variables in request body
+- Check `body.errors` for GraphQL errors (not status code)
+- Works for queries and mutations

+# API Testing Patterns
+
+## Principle
+
+Test APIs and backend services directly without browser overhead. Use Playwright's `request` context for HTTP operations, `apiRequest` utility for enhanced features, and `recurse` for async operations. Pure API tests run faster, are more stable, and provide better coverage for service-layer logic.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Many teams over-rely on E2E/browser tests when API tests would be more appropriate:
+
+- **Slower feedback**: Browser tests take seconds, API tests take milliseconds
+- **More brittle**: UI changes break tests even when API works correctly
+- **Wrong abstraction**: Testing business logic through UI layers adds noise
+- **Resource heavy**: Browsers consume memory and CPU
+
+API-first testing provides:
+
+- **Fast execution**: No browser startup, no rendering, no JavaScript execution
+- **Direct validation**: Test exactly what the service returns
+- **Better isolation**: Test service logic independent of UI
+- **Easier debugging**: Clear request/response without DOM noise
+- **Contract validation**: Verify API contracts explicitly
+
+## When to Use API Tests vs E2E Tests
+
+| Scenario | API Test | E2E Test |
+|----------|----------|----------|
+| CRUD operations | ✅ Primary | ❌ Overkill |
+| Business logic validation | ✅ Primary | ❌ Overkill |
+| Error handling (4xx, 5xx) | ✅ Primary | ⚠️ Supplement |
+| Authentication flows | ✅ Primary | ⚠️ Supplement |
+| Data transformation | ✅ Primary | ❌ Overkill |
+| User journeys | ❌ Can't test | ✅ Primary |
+| Visual regression | ❌ Can't test | ✅ Primary |
+| Cross-browser issues | ❌ Can't test | ✅ Primary |
+
+**Rule of thumb**: If you're testing what the server returns (not how it looks), use API tests.
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Pure API Test (No Browser)
+
+**Context**: Test REST API endpoints directly without any browser context.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/api/users.spec.ts
+import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+// No page, no browser - just API
+test.describe('Users API', () => {
+ test('should create user', async ({ request }) => {
+ const response = await request.post('/api/users', {
+ data: {
+ name: 'John Doe',
+ email: 'john@example.com',
+ role: 'user',
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(response.status()).toBe(201);
+
+ const user = await response.json();
+ expect(user.id).toBeDefined();
+ expect(user.name).toBe('John Doe');
+ expect(user.email).toBe('john@example.com');
+ });
+
+ test('should get user by ID', async ({ request }) => {
+ // Create user first
+ const createResponse = await request.post('/api/users', {
+ data: { name: 'Jane Doe', email: 'jane@example.com' },
+ });
+ const { id } = await createResponse.json();
+
+ // Get user
+ const getResponse = await request.get(`/api/users/${id}`);
+ expect(getResponse.status()).toBe(200);
+
+ const user = await getResponse.json();
+ expect(user.id).toBe(id);
+ expect(user.name).toBe('Jane Doe');
+ });
+
+ test('should return 404 for non-existent user', async ({ request }) => {
+ const response = await request.get('/api/users/non-existent-id');
+ expect(response.status()).toBe(404);
+
+ const error = await response.json();
+ expect(error.code).toBe('USER_NOT_FOUND');
+ });
+
+ test('should validate required fields', async ({ request }) => {
+ const response = await request.post('/api/users', {
+ data: { name: 'Missing Email' }, // email is required
+ });
+
+ expect(response.status()).toBe(400);
+
+ const error = await response.json();
+ expect(error.code).toBe('VALIDATION_ERROR');
+ expect(error.details).toContainEqual(
+ expect.objectContaining({ field: 'email', message: expect.any(String) })
+ );
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- No `page` fixture needed - only `request`
+- Tests run without browser overhead
+- Direct HTTP assertions
+- Clear error handling tests
+
+### Example 2: API Test with apiRequest Utility
+
+**Context**: Use enhanced apiRequest for schema validation, retry, and type safety.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/api/orders.spec.ts
+import { test, expect } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+// Define schema for type safety and validation
+const OrderSchema = z.object({
+ id: z.string().uuid(),
+ userId: z.string(),
+ items: z.array(
+ z.object({
+ productId: z.string(),
+ quantity: z.number().positive(),
+ price: z.number().positive(),
+ })
+ ),
+ total: z.number().positive(),
+ status: z.enum(['pending', 'processing', 'shipped', 'delivered']),
+ createdAt: z.string().datetime(),
+});
+
+type Order = z.infer;
+
+test.describe('Orders API', () => {
+ test('should create order with schema validation', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/orders',
+ body: {
+ userId: 'user-123',
+ items: [
+ { productId: 'prod-1', quantity: 2, price: 29.99 },
+ { productId: 'prod-2', quantity: 1, price: 49.99 },
+ ],
+ },
+ validateSchema: OrderSchema, // Validates response matches schema
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(201);
+ expect(body.id).toBeDefined();
+ expect(body.status).toBe('pending');
+ expect(body.total).toBe(109.97); // 2*29.99 + 49.99
+ });
+
+ test('should handle server errors with retry', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ // apiRequest retries 5xx errors by default
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/orders/order-123',
+ retryConfig: {
+ maxRetries: 3,
+ retryDelay: 1000,
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+ });
+
+ test('should list orders with pagination', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest<{ orders: Order[]; total: number; page: number }>({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/orders',
+ params: { page: 1, limit: 10, status: 'pending' },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+ expect(body.orders).toHaveLength(10);
+ expect(body.total).toBeGreaterThan(10);
+ expect(body.page).toBe(1);
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Zod schema for runtime validation AND TypeScript types
+- `validateSchema` throws if response doesn't match
+- Built-in retry for transient failures
+- Type-safe `body` access
+
+### Example 3: Microservice-to-Microservice Testing
+
+**Context**: Test service interactions without browser - validate API contracts between services.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/api/service-integration.spec.ts
+import { test, expect } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test.describe('Service Integration', () => {
+ const USER_SERVICE_URL = process.env.USER_SERVICE_URL || 'http://localhost:3001';
+ const ORDER_SERVICE_URL = process.env.ORDER_SERVICE_URL || 'http://localhost:3002';
+ const INVENTORY_SERVICE_URL = process.env.INVENTORY_SERVICE_URL || 'http://localhost:3003';
+
+ test('order service should validate user exists', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ // Create user in user-service
+ const { body: user } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/users',
+ baseUrl: USER_SERVICE_URL,
+ body: { name: 'Test User', email: 'test@example.com' },
+ });
+
+ // Create order in order-service (should validate user via user-service)
+ const { status, body: order } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/orders',
+ baseUrl: ORDER_SERVICE_URL,
+ body: {
+ userId: user.id,
+ items: [{ productId: 'prod-1', quantity: 1 }],
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(201);
+ expect(order.userId).toBe(user.id);
+ });
+
+ test('order service should reject invalid user', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/orders',
+ baseUrl: ORDER_SERVICE_URL,
+ body: {
+ userId: 'non-existent-user',
+ items: [{ productId: 'prod-1', quantity: 1 }],
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(400);
+ expect(body.code).toBe('INVALID_USER');
+ });
+
+ test('order should decrease inventory', async ({ apiRequest, recurse }) => {
+ // Get initial inventory
+ const { body: initialInventory } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/inventory/prod-1',
+ baseUrl: INVENTORY_SERVICE_URL,
+ });
+
+ // Create order
+ await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/orders',
+ baseUrl: ORDER_SERVICE_URL,
+ body: {
+ userId: 'user-123',
+ items: [{ productId: 'prod-1', quantity: 2 }],
+ },
+ });
+
+ // Poll for inventory update (eventual consistency)
+ const { body: updatedInventory } = await recurse(
+ () =>
+ apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/inventory/prod-1',
+ baseUrl: INVENTORY_SERVICE_URL,
+ }),
+ (response) => response.body.quantity === initialInventory.quantity - 2,
+ { timeout: 10000, interval: 500 }
+ );
+
+ expect(updatedInventory.quantity).toBe(initialInventory.quantity - 2);
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Multiple service URLs for microservice testing
+- Tests service-to-service communication
+- Uses `recurse` for eventual consistency
+- No browser needed for full integration testing
+
+### Example 4: GraphQL API Testing
+
+**Context**: Test GraphQL endpoints with queries and mutations.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/api/graphql.spec.ts
+import { test, expect } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+
+const GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT = '/graphql';
+
+test.describe('GraphQL API', () => {
+ test('should query users', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const query = `
+ query GetUsers($limit: Int) {
+ users(limit: $limit) {
+ id
+ name
+ email
+ role
+ }
+ }
+ `;
+
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT,
+ body: {
+ query,
+ variables: { limit: 10 },
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+ expect(body.errors).toBeUndefined();
+ expect(body.data.users).toHaveLength(10);
+ expect(body.data.users[0]).toHaveProperty('id');
+ expect(body.data.users[0]).toHaveProperty('name');
+ });
+
+ test('should create user via mutation', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const mutation = `
+ mutation CreateUser($input: CreateUserInput!) {
+ createUser(input: $input) {
+ id
+ name
+ email
+ }
+ }
+ `;
+
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT,
+ body: {
+ query: mutation,
+ variables: {
+ input: {
+ name: 'GraphQL User',
+ email: 'graphql@example.com',
+ },
+ },
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+ expect(body.errors).toBeUndefined();
+ expect(body.data.createUser.id).toBeDefined();
+ expect(body.data.createUser.name).toBe('GraphQL User');
+ });
+
+ test('should handle GraphQL errors', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const query = `
+ query GetUser($id: ID!) {
+ user(id: $id) {
+ id
+ name
+ }
+ }
+ `;
+
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT,
+ body: {
+ query,
+ variables: { id: 'non-existent' },
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200); // GraphQL returns 200 even for errors
+ expect(body.errors).toBeDefined();
+ expect(body.errors[0].message).toContain('not found');
+ expect(body.data.user).toBeNull();
+ });
+
+ test('should handle validation errors', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const mutation = `
+ mutation CreateUser($input: CreateUserInput!) {
+ createUser(input: $input) {
+ id
+ }
+ }
+ `;
+
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT,
+ body: {
+ query: mutation,
+ variables: {
+ input: {
+ name: '', // Invalid: empty name
+ email: 'invalid-email', // Invalid: bad format
+ },
+ },
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+ expect(body.errors).toBeDefined();
+ expect(body.errors[0].extensions.code).toBe('BAD_USER_INPUT');
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- GraphQL queries and mutations via POST
+- Variables passed in request body
+- GraphQL returns 200 even for errors (check `body.errors`)
+- Test validation and business logic errors
+
+### Example 5: Database Seeding and Cleanup via API
+
+**Context**: Use API calls to set up and tear down test data without direct database access.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/api/with-data-setup.spec.ts
+import { test, expect } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test.describe('Orders with Data Setup', () => {
+ let testUser: { id: string; email: string };
+ let testProducts: Array<{ id: string; name: string; price: number }>;
+
+ test.beforeAll(async ({ request }) => {
+ // Seed user via API
+ const userResponse = await request.post('/api/users', {
+ data: {
+ name: 'Test User',
+ email: `test-${Date.now()}@example.com`,
+ },
+ });
+ testUser = await userResponse.json();
+
+ // Seed products via API
+ testProducts = [];
+ for (const product of [
+ { name: 'Widget A', price: 29.99 },
+ { name: 'Widget B', price: 49.99 },
+ { name: 'Widget C', price: 99.99 },
+ ]) {
+ const productResponse = await request.post('/api/products', {
+ data: product,
+ });
+ testProducts.push(await productResponse.json());
+ }
+ });
+
+ test.afterAll(async ({ request }) => {
+ // Cleanup via API
+ if (testUser?.id) {
+ await request.delete(`/api/users/${testUser.id}`);
+ }
+ for (const product of testProducts) {
+ await request.delete(`/api/products/${product.id}`);
+ }
+ });
+
+ test('should create order with seeded data', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/orders',
+ body: {
+ userId: testUser.id,
+ items: [
+ { productId: testProducts[0].id, quantity: 2 },
+ { productId: testProducts[1].id, quantity: 1 },
+ ],
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(201);
+ expect(body.userId).toBe(testUser.id);
+ expect(body.items).toHaveLength(2);
+ expect(body.total).toBe(2 * 29.99 + 49.99);
+ });
+
+ test('should list user orders', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ // Create an order first
+ await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/orders',
+ body: {
+ userId: testUser.id,
+ items: [{ productId: testProducts[2].id, quantity: 1 }],
+ },
+ });
+
+ // List orders for user
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/orders',
+ params: { userId: testUser.id },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+ expect(body.orders.length).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1);
+ expect(body.orders.every((o: any) => o.userId === testUser.id)).toBe(true);
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `beforeAll`/`afterAll` for test data setup/cleanup
+- API-based seeding (no direct DB access needed)
+- Unique emails to prevent conflicts in parallel runs
+- Cleanup after all tests complete
+
+### Example 6: Background Job Testing with Recurse
+
+**Context**: Test async operations like background jobs, webhooks, and eventual consistency.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/api/background-jobs.spec.ts
+import { test, expect } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test.describe('Background Jobs', () => {
+ test('should process export job', async ({ apiRequest, recurse }) => {
+ // Trigger export job
+ const { body: job } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/exports',
+ body: {
+ type: 'users',
+ format: 'csv',
+ filters: { createdAfter: '2024-01-01' },
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(job.id).toBeDefined();
+ expect(job.status).toBe('pending');
+
+ // Poll until job completes
+ const { body: completedJob } = await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: `/api/exports/${job.id}` }),
+ (response) => response.body.status === 'completed',
+ {
+ timeout: 60000,
+ interval: 2000,
+ log: `Waiting for export job ${job.id} to complete`,
+ }
+ );
+
+ expect(completedJob.status).toBe('completed');
+ expect(completedJob.downloadUrl).toBeDefined();
+ expect(completedJob.recordCount).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+ });
+
+ test('should handle job failure gracefully', async ({ apiRequest, recurse }) => {
+ // Trigger job that will fail
+ const { body: job } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/exports',
+ body: {
+ type: 'invalid-type', // This will cause failure
+ format: 'csv',
+ },
+ });
+
+ // Poll until job fails
+ const { body: failedJob } = await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: `/api/exports/${job.id}` }),
+ (response) => ['completed', 'failed'].includes(response.body.status),
+ { timeout: 30000 }
+ );
+
+ expect(failedJob.status).toBe('failed');
+ expect(failedJob.error).toBeDefined();
+ expect(failedJob.error.code).toBe('INVALID_EXPORT_TYPE');
+ });
+
+ test('should process webhook delivery', async ({ apiRequest, recurse }) => {
+ // Trigger action that sends webhook
+ const { body: order } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/orders',
+ body: {
+ userId: 'user-123',
+ items: [{ productId: 'prod-1', quantity: 1 }],
+ webhookUrl: 'https://webhook.site/test-endpoint',
+ },
+ });
+
+ // Poll for webhook delivery status
+ const { body: webhookStatus } = await recurse(
+ () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: `/api/webhooks/order/${order.id}` }),
+ (response) => response.body.delivered === true,
+ { timeout: 30000, interval: 1000 }
+ );
+
+ expect(webhookStatus.delivered).toBe(true);
+ expect(webhookStatus.deliveredAt).toBeDefined();
+ expect(webhookStatus.responseStatus).toBe(200);
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `recurse` for polling async operations
+- Test both success and failure scenarios
+- Configurable timeout and interval
+- Log messages for debugging
+
+### Example 7: Service Authentication (No Browser)
+
+**Context**: Test authenticated API endpoints using tokens directly - no browser login needed.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/api/authenticated.spec.ts
+import { test, expect } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test.describe('Authenticated API Tests', () => {
+ let authToken: string;
+
+ test.beforeAll(async ({ request }) => {
+ // Get token via API (no browser!)
+ const response = await request.post('/api/auth/login', {
+ data: {
+ email: process.env.TEST_USER_EMAIL,
+ password: process.env.TEST_USER_PASSWORD,
+ },
+ });
+
+ const { token } = await response.json();
+ authToken = token;
+ });
+
+ test('should access protected endpoint with token', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/me',
+ headers: {
+ Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}`,
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(200);
+ expect(body.email).toBe(process.env.TEST_USER_EMAIL);
+ });
+
+ test('should reject request without token', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/me',
+ // No Authorization header
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(401);
+ expect(body.code).toBe('UNAUTHORIZED');
+ });
+
+ test('should reject expired token', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const expiredToken = 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...'; // Expired token
+
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/me',
+ headers: {
+ Authorization: `Bearer ${expiredToken}`,
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(401);
+ expect(body.code).toBe('TOKEN_EXPIRED');
+ });
+
+ test('should handle role-based access', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ // User token (non-admin)
+ const { status } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'GET',
+ path: '/api/admin/users',
+ headers: {
+ Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}`,
+ },
+ });
+
+ expect(status).toBe(403); // Forbidden for non-admin
+ });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Token obtained via API login (no browser)
+- Token reused across all tests in describe block
+- Test auth, expired tokens, and RBAC
+- Pure API testing without UI
+
+## API Test Configuration
+
+### Playwright Config for API-Only Tests
+
+```typescript
+// playwright.config.ts
+import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+ testDir: './tests/api',
+
+ // No browser needed for API tests
+ use: {
+ baseURL: process.env.API_URL || 'http://localhost:3000',
+ extraHTTPHeaders: {
+ 'Accept': 'application/json',
+ 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+ },
+ },
+
+ // Faster without browser overhead
+ timeout: 30000,
+
+ // Run API tests in parallel
+ workers: 4,
+ fullyParallel: true,
+
+ // No screenshots/traces needed for API tests
+ reporter: [['html'], ['json', { outputFile: 'api-test-results.json' }]],
+});
+```
+
+### Separate API Test Project
+
+```typescript
+// playwright.config.ts
+export default defineConfig({
+ projects: [
+ {
+ name: 'api',
+ testDir: './tests/api',
+ use: {
+ baseURL: process.env.API_URL,

+ testDir: './tests/e2e',
+ use: {
+ baseURL: process.env.APP_URL,
+ ...devices['Desktop Chrome'],
+ },
+ },
+ ],
+});
+```
+
+## Comparison: API Tests vs E2E Tests
+
+| Aspect | API Test | E2E Test |
+|--------|----------|----------|
+| **Speed** | ~50-100ms per test | ~2-10s per test |
+| **Stability** | Very stable | More flaky (UI timing) |
+| **Setup** | Minimal | Browser, context, page |
+| **Debugging** | Clear request/response | DOM, screenshots, traces |
+| **Coverage** | Service logic | User experience |
+| **Parallelization** | Easy (stateless) | Complex (browser resources) |
+| **CI Cost** | Low (no browser) | High (browser containers) |

+**DON'T use E2E for API validation:**
+
+```typescript
+// Bad: Testing API through UI
+test('validate user creation', async ({ page }) => {
+ await page.goto('/admin/users');
+ await page.fill('#name', 'John');
+ await page.click('#submit');
+ await expect(page.getByText('User created')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+**DO test APIs directly:**
+
+```typescript
+// Good: Direct API test
+test('validate user creation', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+ const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+ method: 'POST',
+ path: '/api/users',
+ body: { name: 'John' },
+ });
+ expect(status).toBe(201);
+ expect(body.id).toBeDefined();
+});
+```
+
+**DON'T ignore API tests because "E2E covers it":**
+
+```typescript
+// Bad thinking: "Our E2E tests create users, so API is tested"
+// Reality: E2E tests one happy path; API tests cover edge cases
+```
+
+**DO have dedicated API test coverage:**
+
+```typescript
+// Good: Explicit API test suite
+test.describe('Users API', () => {
+ test('creates user', async ({ apiRequest }) => { /* ... */ });
+ test('handles duplicate email', async ({ apiRequest }) => { /* ... */ });
+ test('validates required fields', async ({ apiRequest }) => { /* ... */ });
+ test('handles malformed JSON', async ({ apiRequest }) => { /* ... */ });
+ test('rate limits requests', async ({ apiRequest }) => { /* ... */ });

+- Test internal/service endpoints

+### Example 3: Respects Test Status
+
+**Context**: The monitor respects final test statuses to avoid suppressing important test outcomes.
+
+**Behavior by test status:**
+
+- **`failed`**: Network errors logged as additional context, not thrown
+- **`timedOut`**: Network errors logged as additional context
+- **`skipped`**: Network errors logged, skip status preserved
+- **`interrupted`**: Network errors logged, interrupted status preserved
+- **`passed`**: Network errors throw and fail the test
+
+**Example with test.skip():**
+
+```typescript

+```
+
+### Example 4: Excluding Legitimate Errors
+
+**Context**: Some endpoints legitimately return 4xx/5xx responses.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { createNetworkErrorMonitorFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/network-error-monitor/fixtures';
+
+export const test = base.extend(

+ /idv\/session-templates\/list/, // IDV service returns 404 when not configured
+ /sentry\.io\/api/, // External Sentry errors should not fail tests
+ ],
+ })
+);
+```
+
+**For merged fixtures:**
+
+```typescript
+import { test as base, mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
+import { createNetworkErrorMonitorFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/network-error-monitor/fixtures';
+
+const networkErrorMonitor = base.extend(
+ createNetworkErrorMonitorFixture({
+ excludePatterns: [/analytics\.google\.com/, /cdn\.example\.com/],
+ })
+);
+
+export const test = mergeTests(authFixture, networkErrorMonitor);
+```
+
+### Example 5: Preventing Domino Effect
+
+**Context**: One failing endpoint shouldn't fail all tests.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { createNetworkErrorMonitorFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/network-error-monitor/fixtures';
+
+const networkErrorMonitor = base.extend(
+ createNetworkErrorMonitorFixture({
+ excludePatterns: [], // Required when using maxTestsPerError
+ maxTestsPerError: 1, // Only first test fails per error pattern, rest just log
+ })
+);
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+
+When `/api/v2/case-management/cases` returns 500:
+
+- **First test** encountering this error: **FAILS** with clear error message
+- **Subsequent tests** encountering same error: **PASSES** but logs warning
+
+Error patterns are grouped by `method + status + base path`:
+
+- `GET /api/v2/case-management/cases/123` -> Pattern: `GET:500:/api/v2/case-management`
+- `GET /api/v2/case-management/quota` -> Pattern: `GET:500:/api/v2/case-management` (same group!)
+- `POST /api/v2/case-management/cases` -> Pattern: `POST:500:/api/v2/case-management` (different group!)
+
+**Why include HTTP method?** A GET 404 vs POST 404 might represent different issues:
+
+- `GET 404 /api/users/123` -> User not found (expected in some tests)
+- `POST 404 /api/users` -> Endpoint doesn't exist (critical error)
+
+**Output for subsequent tests:**
+
+```
+Warning: Network errors detected but not failing test (maxTestsPerError limit reached):
+ GET 500 https://api.example.com/api/v2/case-management/cases
+```
+
+**Recommended configuration:**
+
+```typescript
+createNetworkErrorMonitorFixture({
+ excludePatterns: [...], // Required - known broken endpoints (can be empty [])
+ maxTestsPerError: 1 // Stop domino effect (requires excludePatterns)
+})
+```
+
+**Understanding worker-level state:**
+
+Error pattern counts are stored in worker-level global state:
+
+```typescript
+// test-file-1.spec.ts (runs in Worker 1)
+test('test A', () => {
+ /* triggers GET:500:/api/v2/cases */
+}); // FAILS
+
+// test-file-2.spec.ts (runs later in Worker 1)

+test('test C', () => {
+ /* triggers GET:500:/api/v2/cases */

+## Implementation Details
-- JSON artifact per failed test

-- Summary statistics
-- Easy debugging with structured data
+### How It Works
-## Comparison with Manual Error Checks
+1. **Fixture Extension**: Uses Playwright's `base.extend()` with `auto: true`
+2. **Response Listener**: Attaches `page.on('response')` listener at test start
+3. **Multi-Page Monitoring**: Automatically monitors popups and new tabs via `context.on('page')`
+4. **Error Collection**: Captures 4xx/5xx responses, checking exclusion patterns
+5. **Try/Finally**: Ensures error processing runs even if test fails early
+6. **Status Check**: Only throws errors if test hasn't already reached final status
+7. **Artifact**: Attaches JSON file to test report for debugging
-| Manual Approach | network-error-monitor |
-| ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- |
-| `page.on('response', resp => { if (!resp.ok()) ... })` | Auto-enabled, zero setup |
-| Check each response manually | Automatic for all requests |
-| Custom error tracking logic | Built-in deduplication |
-| No structured artifacts | JSON artifacts attached |
-| Easy to forget | Never miss a backend error |
+### Performance
+
+The monitor has minimal performance impact:
+
+- Event listener overhead: ~0.1ms per response
+- Memory: ~200 bytes per unique error
+- No network delay (observes responses, doesn't intercept them)
+
+## Comparison with Alternatives
+
+| Approach | Network Error Monitor | Manual afterEach |
+| --------------------------- | --------------------- | --------------------- |
+| **Setup Required** | Zero (auto-enabled) | Every test file |
+| **Catches Silent Failures** | Yes | Yes (if configured) |
+| **Structured Artifacts** | JSON attached | Custom impl |
+| **Test Failure Safety** | Try/finally | afterEach may not run |
+| **Opt-Out Mechanism** | Annotation | Custom logic |
+| **Status Aware** | Respects skip/failed | No |
## When to Use

-- ✅ All E2E tests
-- ✅ Integration tests
-- ✅ Any test hitting real APIs
+- All E2E tests
+- Integration tests

-- ❌ Error handling tests (expecting 5xx)
-- ❌ Offline tests (network-recorder playback)

+
+**Recording Only API Calls**:
+
+```typescript
+await networkRecorder.setup(context, {
+ recording: {
+ urlFilter: /\/api\// // Only record API calls, ignore static assets
+ }
+});
+```
+
+**Playback with Fallback**:
+
+```typescript
+await networkRecorder.setup(context, {
+ playback: {
+ fallback: true // Fall back to live requests if HAR entry missing
+ }
+});
+```
+
+**Custom HAR File Location**:
+
+```typescript
+await networkRecorder.setup(context, {
+ harFile: {
+ harDir: 'recordings/api-calls',
+ baseName: 'user-journey',
+ organizeByTestFile: false // Optional: flatten directory structure
+ }
+});
+```
+
+**Directory Organization:**
+
+- `organizeByTestFile: true` (default): `har-files/test-file-name/baseName-test-title.har`
+- `organizeByTestFile: false`: `har-files/baseName-test-title.har`
+
+### Example 4: Response Content Storage - Embed vs Attach
+
+**Context**: Choose how response content is stored in HAR files.
+
+**`embed` (Default - Recommended):**
+
+```typescript
+await networkRecorder.setup(context, {
+ recording: {
+ content: 'embed' // Store content inline (default)
+ }
+});
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Single self-contained file - Easy to share, version control
+- Better for small-medium responses (API JSON, HTML pages)
+- HAR specification compliant
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Larger HAR files
+- Not ideal for large binary content (images, videos)
+
+**`attach` (Alternative):**
+
+```typescript
+await networkRecorder.setup(context, {
+ recording: {
+ content: 'attach' // Store content separately
+ }
+});
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Smaller HAR files
+- Better for large responses (images, videos, documents)
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Multiple files to manage
+- Harder to share
+
+**When to Use Each:**
+
+| Use `embed` (default) when | Use `attach` when |
+|---------------------------|-------------------|
+| Recording API responses (JSON, XML) | Recording large images, videos |
+| Small to medium HTML pages | HAR file size >50MB |
+| You want a single, portable file | Maximum disk efficiency needed |
+| Sharing HAR files with team | Working with ZIP archive output |
+
+### Example 5: Cross-Environment Compatibility (URL Mapping)
**Context**: Record in dev environment, play back in CI with different base URLs.
-**Implementation**:
+**The Problem**: HAR files contain URLs for the recording environment (e.g., `dev.example.com`). Playing back on a different environment fails.
+
+**Simple Hostname Mapping:**
```typescript
-// playwright.config.ts - Map URLs for different environments
-export default defineConfig({
- use: {
- baseURL: process.env.CI ? 'https://app.ci.example.com' : 'http://localhost:3000',
- },
-});
-
-// Test works in both environments
-test('cross-environment playback', async ({ page, context, networkRecorder }) => {
- await networkRecorder.setup(context);
-
- // In dev: hits http://localhost:3000/api/movies
- // In CI: HAR replays with https://app.ci.example.com/api/movies
- await page.goto('/movies');
-
- // Network recorder auto-maps URLs
- await expect(page.getByTestId('movie-list')).toBeVisible();
+await networkRecorder.setup(context, {
+ playback: {
+ urlMapping: {
+ hostMapping: {
+ 'preview.example.com': 'dev.example.com',
+ 'staging.example.com': 'dev.example.com',
+ 'localhost:3000': 'dev.example.com'
+ }
+ }
+ }
});
```
-**Key Points**:
-
-- HAR files record absolute URLs
-- Playback maps to current baseURL
-- Same HAR works across environments
-- No manual URL rewriting needed
-
-### Example 4: Automatic vs Manual Mode Control
-
-**Context**: Choose between environment-based switching or in-test mode control.
-
-**Implementation**:
+**Pattern-Based Mapping (Recommended):**
```typescript
-// Option 1: Environment variable (recommended for CI)
-PW_NET_MODE=record npm run test:pw # Record traffic
-PW_NET_MODE=playback npm run test:pw # Playback traffic
-
-// Option 2: In-test control (recommended for development)
-process.env.PW_NET_MODE = 'record' // Set at top of test file
-
-test('my test', async ({ page, context, networkRecorder }) => {
- await networkRecorder.setup(context)
- // ...
-})
-
-// Option 3: Auto-fallback (record if HAR missing, else playback)
-// This is the default behavior when PW_NET_MODE not set
-test('auto mode', async ({ page, context, networkRecorder }) => {
- await networkRecorder.setup(context)
- // First run: auto-records
- // Subsequent runs: auto-plays back
-})
+await networkRecorder.setup(context, {
+ playback: {
+ urlMapping: {
+ patterns: [
+ // Map any preview-XXXX subdomain to dev
+ { match: /preview-\d+\.example\.com/, replace: 'dev.example.com' }
+ ]
+ }
+ }
+});
```
-**Key Points**:
+**Custom Function:**
-- Three mode options: record, playback, auto
-- `PW_NET_MODE` environment variable
-- In-test `process.env.PW_NET_MODE` assignment
-- Auto-fallback when no mode specified
+```typescript
+await networkRecorder.setup(context, {
+ playback: {
+ urlMapping: {
+ mapUrl: (url) => url.replace('staging.example.com', 'dev.example.com')
+ }
+ }
+});
+```
+
+**Complex Multi-Environment Example:**
+
+```typescript
+await networkRecorder.setup(context, {
+ playback: {
+ urlMapping: {
+ hostMapping: {
+ 'localhost:3000': 'admin.seondev.space',
+ 'admin-staging.seon.io': 'admin.seondev.space',
+ 'admin.seon.io': 'admin.seondev.space',
+ },
+ patterns: [
+ { match: /admin-\d+\.seondev\.space/, replace: 'admin.seondev.space' },
+ { match: /admin-staging-pr-\w+-\d\.seon\.io/, replace: 'admin.seondev.space' }
+ ]
+ }
+ }
+});
+```
+

Native Playwright HAR playback is stateless - a POST create followed by GET list won't show the created item. This utility intelligently tracks CRUD operations in memory to reflect state changes, making offline tests behave like real APIs.
+## How Stateful CRUD Detection Works
+
+When in playback mode, the Network Recorder automatically analyzes your HAR file to detect CRUD patterns. If it finds:
+
+- Multiple GET requests to the same resource endpoint (e.g., `/movies`)
+- Mutation operations (POST, PUT, DELETE) to those resources
+- Evidence of state changes between identical requests
+
+It automatically switches from static HAR playback to an intelligent stateful mock that:
+
+- Maintains state across requests
+- Auto-generates IDs for new resources
+- Returns proper 404s for deleted resources
+- Supports polling scenarios where state changes over time
+
+**This happens automatically - no configuration needed!**
+
+## API Reference
+
+### NetworkRecorder Methods
+
+| Method | Return Type | Description |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| `setup(context)` | `Promise` | Sets up recording/playback on browser context |
+| `cleanup()` | `Promise` | Flushes data to disk and cleans up memory |
+| `getContext()` | `NetworkRecorderContext` | Gets current recorder context information |
+| `getStatusMessage()` | `string` | Gets human-readable status message |
+| `getHarStats()` | `Promise` | Gets HAR file statistics and metadata |
+
+### Understanding `cleanup()`
+
+The `cleanup()` method performs memory and resource cleanup - **it does NOT delete HAR files**:
+
+**What it does:**
+
+- Flushes recorded data to disk (writes HAR file in recording mode)
+- Releases file locks
+- Clears in-memory data
+- Resets internal state
+
+**What it does NOT do:**
+
+- Delete HAR files from disk
+- Remove recorded network traffic
+- Clear browser context or cookies
+
+### Configuration Options
+
+```typescript
+type NetworkRecorderConfig = {
+ harFile?: {
+ harDir?: string // Directory for HAR files (default: 'har-files')
+ baseName?: string // Base name for HAR files (default: 'network-traffic')
+ organizeByTestFile?: boolean // Organize by test file (default: true)
+ }
+
+ recording?: {
+ content?: 'embed' | 'attach' // Response content handling (default: 'embed')
+ urlFilter?: string | RegExp // URL filter for recording
+ update?: boolean // Update existing HAR files (default: false)
+ }
+
+ playback?: {
+ fallback?: boolean // Fall back to live requests (default: false)
+ urlFilter?: string | RegExp // URL filter for playback
+ updateMode?: boolean // Update mode during playback (default: false)
+ }
+
+ forceMode?: 'record' | 'playback' | 'disabled'
+}
+```
+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+Control the recording mode using the `PW_NET_MODE` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+# Record mode - captures network traffic to HAR files
+PW_NET_MODE=record npm run test:pw
+
+# Playback mode - replays network traffic from HAR files
+PW_NET_MODE=playback npm run test:pw
+
+# Disabled mode - no network recording/playback
+PW_NET_MODE=disabled npm run test:pw
+
+# Default behavior (when PW_NET_MODE is empty/unset) - same as disabled
+npm run test:pw
+```
+
+**Tip**: We recommend setting `process.env.PW_NET_MODE` directly in your test file for better control.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### HAR File Not Found
+
+If you see "HAR file not found" errors during playback:
+
+1. Ensure you've recorded the test first with `PW_NET_MODE=record`
+2. Check the HAR file exists in the expected location (usually `har-files/`)
+3. Enable fallback mode: `playback: { fallback: true }`
+
+### Authentication and Network Recording
+
+The network recorder works seamlessly with authentication:
+
+```typescript
+test('Authenticated recording', async ({ page, context, authSession, networkRecorder }) => {
+ // First authenticate
+ await authSession.login('testuser', 'password');
+
+ // Then setup network recording with authenticated context
+ await networkRecorder.setup(context);
+
+ // Test authenticated flows
+ await page.goto('/dashboard');
+});
+```
+
+### Concurrent Test Issues
+
+The recorder includes built-in file locking for safe parallel execution. Each test gets its own HAR file based on the test name.

+# BMAD PRD Purpose
+
+**The PRD is the top of the required funnel that feeds all subsequent product development work in rhw BMad Method.**
+
+---
+
+## What is a BMAD PRD?
+
+A dual-audience document serving:
+1. **Human Product Managers and builders** - Vision, strategy, stakeholder communication
+2. **LLM Downstream Consumption** - UX Design → Architecture → Epics → Development AI Agents
+
+Each successive document becomes more AI-tailored and granular.
+
+---
+
+## Core Philosophy: Information Density
+
+**High Signal-to-Noise Ratio**
+
+Every sentence must carry information weight. LLMs consume precise, dense content efficiently.
+
+**Anti-Patterns (Eliminate These):**
+- ❌ "The system will allow users to..." → ✅ "Users can..."
+- ❌ "It is important to note that..." → ✅ State the fact directly
+- ❌ "In order to..." → ✅ "To..."
+- ❌ Conversational filler and padding → ✅ Direct, concise statements
+
+**Goal:** Maximum information per word. Zero fluff.
+
+---
+
+## The Traceability Chain
+
+**PRD starts the chain:**
+```
+Vision → Success Criteria → User Journeys → Functional Requirements → (future: User Stories)
+```
+
+**In the PRD, establish:**
+- Vision → Success Criteria alignment
+- Success Criteria → User Journey coverage
+- User Journey → Functional Requirement mapping
+- All requirements traceable to user needs
+
+**Why:** Each downstream artifact (UX, Architecture, Epics, Stories) must trace back to documented user needs and business objectives. This chain ensures we build the right thing.
+
+---
+
+## What Makes Great Functional Requirements?
+
+### FRs are Capabilities, Not Implementation
+
+**Good FR:** "Users can reset their password via email link"
+**Bad FR:** "System sends JWT via email and validates with database" (implementation leakage)
+
+**Good FR:** "Dashboard loads in under 2 seconds for 95th percentile"
+**Bad FR:** "Fast loading time" (subjective, unmeasurable)
+
+### SMART Quality Criteria
+
+**Specific:** Clear, precisely defined capability
+**Measurable:** Quantifiable with test criteria
+**Attainable:** Realistic within constraints
+**Relevant:** Aligns with business objectives
+**Traceable:** Links to source (executive summary or user journey)
+
+### FR Anti-Patterns
+
+**Subjective Adjectives:**
+- ❌ "easy to use", "intuitive", "user-friendly", "fast", "responsive"
+- ✅ Use metrics: "completes task in under 3 clicks", "loads in under 2 seconds"
+
+**Implementation Leakage:**
+- ❌ Technology names, specific libraries, implementation details
+- ✅ Focus on capability and measurable outcomes
+
+**Vague Quantifiers:**
+- ❌ "multiple users", "several options", "various formats"
+- ✅ "up to 100 concurrent users", "3-5 options", "PDF, DOCX, TXT formats"
+
+**Missing Test Criteria:**
+- ❌ "The system shall provide notifications"
+- ✅ "The system shall send email notifications within 30 seconds of trigger event"
+
+---
+
+## What Makes Great Non-Functional Requirements?
+
+### NFRs Must Be Measurable
+
+**Template:**
+```
+"The system shall [metric] [condition] [measurement method]"
+```
+
+**Examples:**
+- ✅ "The system shall respond to API requests in under 200ms for 95th percentile as measured by APM monitoring"
+- ✅ "The system shall maintain 99.9% uptime during business hours as measured by cloud provider SLA"
+- ✅ "The system shall support 10,000 concurrent users as measured by load testing"
+
+### NFR Anti-Patterns
+
+**Unmeasurable Claims:**
+- ❌ "The system shall be scalable" → ✅ "The system shall handle 10x load growth through horizontal scaling"
+- ❌ "High availability required" → ✅ "99.9% uptime as measured by cloud provider SLA"
+
+**Missing Context:**
+- ❌ "Response time under 1 second" → ✅ "API response time under 1 second for 95th percentile under normal load"
+
+---
+
+## Domain-Specific Requirements
+
+**Auto-Detect and Enforce Based on Project Context**
+
+Certain industries have mandatory requirements that must be present:
+
+- **Healthcare:** HIPAA Privacy & Security Rules, PHI encryption, audit logging, MFA
+- **Fintech:** PCI-DSS Level 1, AML/KYC compliance, SOX controls, financial audit trails
+- **GovTech:** NIST framework, Section 508 accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), FedRAMP, data residency
+- **E-Commerce:** PCI-DSS for payments, inventory accuracy, tax calculation by jurisdiction
+
+**Why:** Missing these requirements in the PRD means they'll be missed in architecture and implementation, creating expensive rework. During PRD creation there is a step to cover this - during validation we want to make sure it was covered. For this purpose steps will utilize a domain-complexity.csv and project-types.csv.
+
+---
+
+## Document Structure (Markdown, Human-Readable)
+
+### Required Sections
+1. **Executive Summary** - Vision, differentiator, target users
+2. **Success Criteria** - Measurable outcomes (SMART)
+3. **Product Scope** - MVP, Growth, Vision phases
+4. **User Journeys** - Comprehensive coverage
+5. **Domain Requirements** - Industry-specific compliance (if applicable)
+6. **Innovation Analysis** - Competitive differentiation (if applicable)
+7. **Project-Type Requirements** - Platform-specific needs
+8. **Functional Requirements** - Capability contract (FRs)
+9. **Non-Functional Requirements** - Quality attributes (NFRs)
+
+### Formatting for Dual Consumption
+
+**For Humans:**
+- Clear, professional language
+- Logical flow from vision to requirements
+- Easy for stakeholders to review and approve
+
+**For LLMs:**
+- ## Level 2 headers for all main sections (enables extraction)
+- Consistent structure and patterns
+- Precise, testable language
+- High information density
+
+---
+
+## Downstream Impact
+
+**How the PRD Feeds Next Artifacts:**
+
+**UX Design:**
+- User journeys → interaction flows
+- FRs → design requirements
+- Success criteria → UX metrics
+
+**Architecture:**
+- FRs → system capabilities
+- NFRs → architecture decisions
+- Domain requirements → compliance architecture
+- Project-type requirements → platform choices
+
+**Epics & Stories (created after architecture):**
+- FRs → user stories (1 FR could map to 1-3 stories potentially)
+- Acceptance criteria → story acceptance tests
+- Priority → sprint sequencing
+- Traceability → stories map back to vision
+

+## Summary: What Makes a Great BMAD PRD?
+
+✅ **High Information Density** - Every sentence carries weight, zero fluff
+✅ **Measurable Requirements** - All FRs and NFRs are testable with specific criteria
+✅ **Clear Traceability** - Each requirement links to user need and business objective
+✅ **Domain Awareness** - Industry-specific requirements auto-detected and included
+✅ **Zero Anti-Patterns** - No subjective adjectives, implementation leakage, or vague quantifiers
+✅ **Dual Audience Optimized** - Human-readable AND LLM-consumable
+✅ **Markdown Format** - Professional, clean, accessible to all stakeholders
+
+---
+
+**Remember:** The PRD is the foundation. Quality here ripples through every subsequent phase. A dense, precise, well-traced PRD makes UX design, architecture, epic breakdown, and AI development dramatically more effective.

+# Step 2: Project Discovery
+
+**Progress: Step 2 of 13** - Next: Product Vision
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Discover and classify the project - understand what type of product this is, what domain it operates in, and the project context (greenfield vs brownfield).
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read
+- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative discovery between PM peers
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a product-focused PM facilitator collaborating with an expert peer
+- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- ✅ You bring structured thinking and facilitation skills, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus on classification and understanding - no content generation yet
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to generate executive summary or vision statements (that's next steps)
+- 💬 APPROACH: Natural conversation to understand the project
+- 🎯 LOAD classification data BEFORE starting discovery conversation
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
+- ⚠️ Present A/P/C menu after classification complete
+- 💾 ONLY save classification to frontmatter when user chooses C (Continue)
+- 📖 Update frontmatter, adding this step to the end of the list of stepsCompleted
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Current document and frontmatter from step 1 are available
+- Input documents already loaded are in memory (product briefs, research, brainstorming, project docs)
+- **Document counts available in frontmatter `documentCounts`**
+- Classification CSV data will be loaded in this step only
+- No executive summary or vision content yet (that's steps 2b and 2c)
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Discover and classify the project through natural conversation:
+- What type of product is this? (web app, API, mobile, etc.)
+- What domain does it operate in? (healthcare, fintech, e-commerce, etc.)
+- What's the project context? (greenfield new product vs brownfield existing system)
+- How complex is this domain? (low, medium, high)
+
+## DISCOVERY SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Check Document State
+
+Read the frontmatter from `{outputFile}` to get document counts:
+- `briefCount` - Product briefs available
+- `researchCount` - Research documents available
+- `brainstormingCount` - Brainstorming docs available
+- `projectDocsCount` - Existing project documentation
+
+**Announce your understanding:**
+
+"From step 1, I have loaded:
+- Product briefs: {{briefCount}}
+- Research: {{researchCount}}
+- Brainstorming: {{brainstormingCount}}
+- Project docs: {{projectDocsCount}}
+
+{{if projectDocsCount > 0}}This is a brownfield project - I'll focus on understanding what you want to add or change.{{else}}This is a greenfield project - I'll help you define the full product vision.{{/if}}"
+
+### 2. Load Classification Data
+
+**Attempt subprocess data lookup:**
+
+**Project Type Lookup:**
+"Your task: Lookup data in {projectTypesCSV}
+
+**Search criteria:**
+- Find row where project_type matches {{detectedProjectType}}
+
+**Return format:**
+Return ONLY the matching row as a YAML-formatted object with these fields:
+project_type, detection_signals
+
+**Do NOT return the entire CSV - only the matching row.**"
+
+**Domain Complexity Lookup:**
+"Your task: Lookup data in {domainComplexityCSV}
+
+**Search criteria:**
+- Find row where domain matches {{detectedDomain}}
+
+**Return format:**
+Return ONLY the matching row as a YAML-formatted object with these fields:
+domain, complexity, typical_concerns, compliance_requirements
+
+**Do NOT return the entire CSV - only the matching row.**"
+
+**Graceful degradation (if Task tool unavailable):**
+- Load the CSV files directly
+- Find the matching rows manually
+- Extract required fields
+- Keep in memory for intelligent classification
+
+### 3. Begin Discovery Conversation
+
+**Start with what you know:**
+
+If the user has a product brief or project docs, acknowledge them and share your understanding. Then ask clarifying questions to deepen your understanding.
+
+If this is a greenfield project with no docs, start with open-ended discovery:
+- What problem does this solve?
+- Who's it for?
+- What excites you about building this?
+
+**Listen for classification signals:**
+
+As the user describes their product, match against:
+- **Project type signals** (API, mobile, SaaS, etc.)
+- **Domain signals** (healthcare, fintech, education, etc.)
+- **Complexity indicators** (regulated industries, novel technology, etc.)
+
+### 4. Confirm Classification
+
+Once you have enough understanding, share your classification:
+
+"I'm hearing this as:
+- **Project Type:** {{detectedType}}
+- **Domain:** {{detectedDomain}}
+- **Complexity:** {{complexityLevel}}
+
+Does this sound right to you?"
+
+Let the user confirm or refine your classification.
+
+### 5. Save Classification to Frontmatter
+
+When user selects 'C', update frontmatter with classification:
+```yaml
+classification:
+ projectType: {{projectType}}
+ domain: {{domain}}
+ complexity: {{complexityLevel}}
+ projectContext: {{greenfield|brownfield}}
+```
+
+### N. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Present the project classification for review, then display menu:
+
+"Based on our conversation, I've discovered and classified your project.
+
+**Here's the classification:**
+
+**Project Type:** {{detectedType}}
+**Domain:** {{detectedDomain}}

+- IF Any other: help user respond, then redisplay menu
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [classification saved to frontmatter], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to explore product vision.

+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- Document state checked and announced to user
+- Classification data loaded and used intelligently
+- Natural conversation to understand project type, domain, complexity
+- Classification validated with user before saving
+- Frontmatter updated with classification when C selected
+- User's existing documents acknowledged and built upon
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Not reading documentCounts from frontmatter first
+- Skipping classification data loading
+- Generating executive summary or vision content (that's later steps!)
+- Not validating classification with user
+- Being prescriptive instead of having natural conversation
+- Proceeding without user selecting 'C'
+
+**Master Rule:** This is classification and understanding only. No content generation yet. Build on what the user already has. Have natural conversations, don't follow scripts.

+# Step 4: User Journey Mapping
+
+**Progress: Step 4 of 11** - Next: Domain Requirements
+
+## 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 PM peers
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- 💬 FOCUS on mapping ALL user types that interact with the system
+- 🎯 CRITICAL: No journey = no functional requirements = product doesn't exist
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
+- ⚠️ Present A/P/C menu after generating journey content
+- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Continue)
+- 📖 Update output file frontmatter, adding this step name to the end of the list of stepsCompleted
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Current document and frontmatter from previous steps are available
+- Success criteria and scope already defined
+- Input documents from step-01 are available (product briefs with user personas)
+- Every human interaction with the system needs a journey
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Create compelling narrative user journeys that leverage existing personas from product briefs and identify additional user types needed for comprehensive coverage.
+
+## JOURNEY MAPPING SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Leverage Existing Users & Identify Additional Types
+
+**Check Input Documents for Existing Personas:**
+Analyze product brief, research, and brainstorming documents for user personas already defined.
+
+**If User Personas Exist in Input Documents:**
+Guide user to build on existing personas:
+- Acknowledge personas found in their product brief
+- Extract key persona details and backstories
+- Leverage existing insights about their needs
+- Prompt to identify additional user types beyond those documented
+- Suggest additional user types based on product context (admins, moderators, support, API consumers, internal ops)
+- Ask what additional user types should be considered
+
+**If No Personas in Input Documents:**
+Start with comprehensive user type discovery:
+- Guide exploration of ALL people who interact with the system
+- Consider beyond primary users: admins, moderators, support staff, API consumers, internal ops
+- Ask what user types should be mapped for this specific product
+- Ensure comprehensive coverage of all system interactions
+
+### 2. Create Narrative Story-Based Journeys
+
+For each user type, create compelling narrative journeys that tell their story:
+
+#### Narrative Journey Creation Process:
+
+**If Using Existing Persona from Input Documents:**
+Guide narrative journey creation:
+- Use persona's existing backstory from brief
+- Explore how the product changes their life/situation
+- Craft journey narrative: where do we meet them, how does product help them write their next chapter?
+
+**If Creating New Persona:**
+Guide persona creation with story framework:
+- Name: realistic name and personality
+- Situation: What's happening in their life/work that creates need?
+- Goal: What do they desperately want to achieve?
+- Obstacle: What's standing in their way?
+- Solution: How does the product solve their story?
+
+**Story-Based Journey Mapping:**
+
+Guide narrative journey creation using story structure:
+- **Opening Scene**: Where/how do we meet them? What's their current pain?
+- **Rising Action**: What steps do they take? What do they discover?
+- **Climax**: Critical moment where product delivers real value
+- **Resolution**: How does their situation improve? What's their new reality?
+
+Encourage narrative format with specific user details, emotional journey, and clear before/after contrast
+
+### 3. Guide Journey Exploration
+
+For each journey, facilitate detailed exploration:
+- What happens at each step specifically?
+- What could go wrong? What's the recovery path?
+- What information do they need to see/hear?
+- What's their emotional state at each point?
+- Where does this journey succeed or fail?
+
+### 4. Connect Journeys to Requirements
+
+After each journey, explicitly state:
+- This journey reveals requirements for specific capability areas
+- Help user see how different journeys create different feature sets
+- Connect journey needs to concrete capabilities (onboarding, dashboards, notifications, etc.)
+
+### 5. Aim for Comprehensive Coverage
+
+Guide toward complete journey set:
+
+- **Primary user** - happy path (core experience)
+- **Primary user** - edge case (different goal, error recovery)
+- **Secondary user** (admin, moderator, support, etc.)
+- **API consumer** (if applicable)
+
+Ask if additional journeys are needed to cover uncovered user types
+
+### 6. Generate User Journey Content
+
+Prepare the content to append to the document:
+
+#### Content Structure:
+
+When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
+
+```markdown
+## User Journeys
+
+[All journey narratives based on conversation]
+
+### Journey Requirements Summary
+
+[Summary of capabilities revealed by journeys based on conversation]
+```
+
+### 7. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Present the user journey content for review, then display menu:
+- Show the mapped user journeys (using structure from section 6)
+- Highlight how each journey reveals different capabilities
+- Ask if they'd like to refine further, get other perspectives, or proceed
+- Present menu options naturally as part of conversation
+
+Display: "**Select:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue to Domain Requirements (Step 5 of 11)"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask} with the current journey content, process the enhanced journey insights that come back, ask user "Accept these improvements to the user journeys? (y/n)", if yes update content with improvements then redisplay menu, if no keep original content then redisplay menu
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow} with the current journeys, process the collaborative journey improvements and additions, ask user "Accept these changes to the user journeys? (y/n)", if yes update content with improvements then redisplay menu, if no keep original content then redisplay menu
+- IF C: Append the final content to {outputFile}, update frontmatter by adding this step name to the end of the stepsCompleted array, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other: help user respond, then redisplay menu
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+
+## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
+
+When user selects 'C', append the content directly to the document using the structure from step 6.
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+✅ Existing personas from product briefs leveraged when available
+✅ All user types identified (not just primary users)
+✅ Rich narrative storytelling for each persona and journey
+✅ Complete story-based journey mapping with emotional arc
+✅ Journey requirements clearly connected to capabilities needed
+✅ Minimum 3-4 compelling narrative journeys covering different user types
+✅ A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly
+✅ Content properly appended to document when C selected
+
+## FAILURE MODES:
+
+❌ Ignoring existing personas from product briefs
+❌ Only mapping primary user journeys and missing secondary users
+❌ Creating generic journeys without rich persona details and narrative
+❌ Missing emotional storytelling elements that make journeys compelling
+❌ Missing critical decision points and failure scenarios
+❌ Not connecting journeys to required capabilities
+❌ Not having enough journey diversity (admin, support, API, etc.)
+❌ Not presenting A/P/C menu after content generation
+❌ Appending content without user selecting 'C'
+
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
+
+## JOURNEY TYPES TO ENSURE:
+
+**Minimum Coverage:**
+
+1. **Primary User - Success Path**: Core experience journey
+2. **Primary User - Edge Case**: Error recovery, alternative goals
+3. **Admin/Operations User**: Management, configuration, monitoring
+4. **Support/Troubleshooting**: Help, investigation, issue resolution
+5. **API/Integration** (if applicable): Developer/technical user journey
+
+## NEXT STEP:
+
+After user selects 'C' and content is saved to document, load `./step-05-domain.md`.
+
+Remember: Do NOT proceed to step-05 until user explicitly selects 'C' from the A/P/C menu and content is saved!

+
+**Progress: Step 5 of 13** - Next: Innovation Focus
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+For complex domains only that have a mapping in {domainComplexityCSV}, explore domain-specific constraints, compliance requirements, and technical considerations that shape the product.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read
+- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative discovery between PM peers
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a product-focused PM facilitator collaborating with an expert peer
+- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- ✅ You bring structured thinking and facilitation skills, while the user brings domain expertise
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 This step is OPTIONAL - only needed for complex domains
+- 🚫 SKIP if domain complexity is "low" from step-02
+- 💬 APPROACH: Natural conversation to discover domain-specific needs
+- 🎯 Focus on constraints, compliance, and domain patterns
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Check domain complexity from step-02 classification first
+- ⚠️ If complexity is "low", offer to skip this step
+- ⚠️ Present A/P/C menu after domain requirements defined (or skipped)
+- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Continue)
+- 📖 Update output file frontmatter, adding this step name to the end of the list of stepsCompleted
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Domain classification from step-02 is available
+- If complexity is low, this step may be skipped
+- Domain CSV data provides complexity reference
+- Focus on domain-specific constraints, not general requirements
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+For complex domains, explore what makes this domain special:
+- **Compliance requirements** - regulations, standards, certifications
+- **Technical constraints** - security, privacy, integration requirements
+- **Domain patterns** - common patterns, best practices, anti-patterns
+- **Risks and mitigations** - what could go wrong, how to prevent it
+
+## DOMAIN DISCOVERY SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Check Domain Complexity
+
+**Review classification from step-02:**
+
+- What's the domain complexity level? (low/medium/high)
+- What's the specific domain? (healthcare, fintech, education, etc.)
+
+**If complexity is LOW:**
+
+Offer to skip:
+"The domain complexity from our discovery is low. We may not need deep domain-specific requirements. Would you like to:
+- [C] Skip this step and move to Innovation
+- [D] Do domain exploration anyway"
+
+**If complexity is MEDIUM or HIGH:**
+
+Proceed with domain exploration.
+
+### 2. Load Domain Reference Data
+
+**Attempt subprocess data lookup:**
+
+"Your task: Lookup data in {domainComplexityCSV}
+
+**Search criteria:**
+- Find row where domain matches {{domainFromStep02}}
+
+**Return format:**
+Return ONLY the matching row as a YAML-formatted object with these fields:
+domain, complexity, typical_concerns, compliance_requirements
+
+**Do NOT return the entire CSV - only the matching row.**"
+
+**Graceful degradation (if Task tool unavailable):**
+- Load the CSV file directly
+- Find the matching row manually
+- Extract required fields
+- Understand typical concerns and compliance requirements
+
+### 3. Explore Domain-Specific Concerns
+
+**Start with what you know:**
+
+Acknowledge the domain and explore what makes it complex:
+- What regulations apply? (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, SOX, etc.)
+- What standards matter? (ISO, NIST, domain-specific standards)
+- What certifications are needed? (security, privacy, domain-specific)
+- What integrations are required? (EMR systems, payment processors, etc.)
+
+**Explore technical constraints:**
+- Security requirements (encryption, audit logs, access control)
+- Privacy requirements (data handling, consent, retention)
+- Performance requirements (real-time, batch, latency)
+- Availability requirements (uptime, disaster recovery)
+
+### 4. Document Domain Requirements
+
+**Structure the requirements around key concerns:**
+
+```markdown
+### Compliance & Regulatory
+- [Specific requirements]
+
+### Technical Constraints
+- [Security, privacy, performance needs]
+
+### Integration Requirements
+- [Required systems and data flows]
+
+### Risk Mitigations
+- [Domain-specific risks and how to address them]
+```
+
+### 5. Validate Completeness
+
+**Check with the user:**
+
+"Are there other domain-specific concerns we should consider? For [this domain], what typically gets overlooked?"
+
+### N. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue - Save and Proceed to Innovation (Step 6 of 13)"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}, and when finished redisplay the menu
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}, and when finished redisplay the menu
+- IF C: Save content to {outputFile}, update frontmatter, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#n-present-menu-options)

+
+{{discovered domain requirements}}
+```
+
+If step was skipped, append nothing and proceed.
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [content saved or skipped], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to explore innovation.
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- Domain complexity checked before proceeding
+- Offered to skip if complexity is low
+- Natural conversation exploring domain concerns
+- Compliance, technical, and integration requirements identified
+- Domain-specific risks documented with mitigations
+- User validated completeness
+- Content properly saved (or step skipped) when C selected
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Not checking domain complexity first
+- Not offering to skip for low-complexity domains
+- Missing critical compliance requirements
+- Not exploring technical constraints
+- Not asking about domain-specific risks
+- Being generic instead of domain-specific
+- Proceeding without user validation
+
+**Master Rule:** This step is OPTIONAL for simple domains. For complex domains, focus on compliance, constraints, and domain patterns. Natural conversation, not checklists.

+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- 🛑 CRITICAL: Load the ENTIRE document before making changes
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read complete step file before taking action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- ✅ This is a POLISH step - optimize existing content
+- 📋 IMPROVE flow, coherence, and readability
+- 💬 PRESERVE user's voice and intent
+- 🎯 MAINTAIN all essential information while improving presentation
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Load complete document first
+- 📝 Review for flow and coherence issues
+- ✂️ Reduce duplication while preserving essential info
+- 📖 Ensure proper ## Level 2 headers throughout
+- 💾 Save optimized document
+- ⚠️ Present A/P/C menu after polish
+- 🚫 DO NOT skip review steps
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Complete PRD document exists from all previous steps
+- Document may have duplication from progressive append
+- Sections may not flow smoothly together
+- Level 2 headers ensure document can be split if needed
+- Focus on readability and coherence
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Optimize the complete PRD document for flow, coherence, and professional presentation while preserving all essential information.
+
+## DOCUMENT POLISH SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Load Context and Document
+
+**CRITICAL:** Load the PRD purpose document first:
+
+- Read `{purposeFile}` to understand what makes a great BMAD PRD
+- Internalize the philosophy: information density, traceability, measurable requirements
+- Keep the dual-audience nature (humans + LLMs) in mind
+
+**Then Load the PRD Document:**
+
+- Read `{outputFile}` completely from start to finish
+- Understand the full document structure and content
+- Identify all sections and their relationships
+- Note areas that need attention
+
+### 2. Document Quality Review
+
+Review the entire document with PRD purpose principles in mind:
+
+**Information Density:**
+- Are there wordy phrases that can be condensed?
+- Is conversational padding present?
+- Can sentences be more direct and concise?
+
+**Flow and Coherence:**
+- Do sections transition smoothly?
+- Are there jarring topic shifts?
+- Does the document tell a cohesive story?
+- Is the progression logical for readers?
+
+**Duplication Detection:**
+- Are ideas repeated across sections?
+- Is the same information stated multiple times?
+- Can redundant content be consolidated?
+- Are there contradictory statements?
+
+**Header Structure:**
+- Are all main sections using ## Level 2 headers?
+- Is the hierarchy consistent (##, ###, ####)?
+- Can sections be easily extracted or referenced?
+- Are headers descriptive and clear?
+
+**Readability:**
+- Are sentences clear and concise?
+- Is the language consistent throughout?
+- Are technical terms used appropriately?
+- Would stakeholders find this easy to understand?
+
+### 3. Optimization Actions
+
+Make targeted improvements:
+
+**Improve Flow:**
+- Add transition sentences between sections
+- Smooth out jarring topic shifts
+- Ensure logical progression
+- Connect related concepts across sections
+
+**Reduce Duplication:**
+- Consolidate repeated information
+- Keep content in the most appropriate section
+- Use cross-references instead of repetition
+- Remove redundant explanations
+
+**Enhance Coherence:**
+- Ensure consistent terminology throughout
+- Align all sections with product differentiator
+- Maintain consistent voice and tone
+- Verify scope consistency across sections
+
+**Optimize Headers:**
+- Ensure all main sections use ## Level 2
+- Make headers descriptive and action-oriented
+- Check that headers follow consistent patterns
+- Verify headers support document navigation
+
+### 4. Preserve Critical Information
+
+**While optimizing, ensure NOTHING essential is lost:**
+
+**Must Preserve:**
+- All user success criteria
+- All functional requirements (capability contract)
+- All user journey narratives
+- All scope decisions (MVP, Growth, Vision)
+- All non-functional requirements
+- Product differentiator and vision
+- Domain-specific requirements
+- Innovation analysis (if present)
+
+**Can Consolidate:**
+- Repeated explanations of the same concept
+- Redundant background information
+- Multiple versions of similar content
+- Overlapping examples
+
+### 5. Generate Optimized Document
+
+Create the polished version:
+
+**Polishing Process:**
+1. Start with original document
+2. Apply all optimization actions
+3. Review to ensure nothing essential was lost
+4. Verify improvements enhance readability
+5. Prepare optimized version for review
+
+### 6. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Present the polished document for review, then display menu:
+- Show what changed in the polish
+- Highlight improvements made (flow, duplication, headers)
+- Ask if they'd like to refine further, get other perspectives, or proceed
+- Present menu options naturally as part of conversation
+
+Display: "**Select:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue to Complete PRD (Step 12 of 12)"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask} with the polished document, process the enhanced refinements that come back, ask user "Accept these polish improvements? (y/n)", if yes update content with improvements then redisplay menu, if no keep original polish then redisplay menu
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow} with the polished document, process the collaborative refinements to flow and coherence, ask user "Accept these polish changes? (y/n)", if yes update content with improvements then redisplay menu, if no keep original polish then redisplay menu
+- IF C: Save the polished document to {outputFile}, update frontmatter by adding this step name to the end of the stepsCompleted array, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other: help user respond, then redisplay menu
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- After other menu items execution, return to this menu
+
+## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
+
+When user selects 'C', replace the entire document content with the polished version.
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+✅ Complete document loaded and reviewed
+✅ Flow and coherence improved
+✅ Duplication reduced while preserving essential information
+✅ All main sections use ## Level 2 headers
+✅ Transitions between sections are smooth
+✅ User's voice and intent preserved
+✅ Document is more readable and professional
+✅ A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly
+✅ Polished document saved when C selected
+
+## FAILURE MODES:
+
+❌ Loading only partial document (leads to incomplete polish)
+❌ Removing essential information while reducing duplication
+❌ Not preserving user's voice and intent
+❌ Changing content instead of improving presentation
+❌ Not ensuring ## Level 2 headers for main sections
+❌ Making arbitrary style changes instead of coherence improvements
+❌ Not presenting A/P/C menu for user approval
+❌ Saving polished document without user selecting 'C'
+
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Making changes without complete understanding of document requirements
+
+## NEXT STEP:
+
+After user selects 'C' and polished document is saved, load `./step-12-complete.md` to complete the workflow.
+
+Remember: Do NOT proceed to step-12 until user explicitly selects 'C' from the A/P/C menu and polished document is saved!

+
+**Final Step - Complete the PRD**
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- ✅ THIS IS A FINAL STEP - Workflow completion required
+- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🛑 NO content generation - this is a wrap-up step
+- 📋 FINALIZE document and update workflow status
+- 💬 FOCUS on completion, validation options, and next steps
+- 🎯 UPDATE workflow status files with completion information
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
+- 💾 Update the main workflow status file with completion information (if exists)
+- 📖 Offer validation workflow options to user
+- 🚫 DO NOT load additional steps after this one
+
+## TERMINATION STEP PROTOCOLS:
+
+- This is a FINAL step - workflow completion required
+- Update workflow status file with finalized document
+- Suggest validation and next workflow steps
+- Mark workflow as complete in status tracking
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Complete and polished PRD document is available from all previous steps
+- Workflow frontmatter shows all completed steps including polish
+- All collaborative content has been generated, saved, and optimized
+- Focus on completion, validation options, and next steps
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Complete the PRD workflow, update status files, offer validation options, and suggest next steps for the project.
+
+## WORKFLOW COMPLETION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Announce Workflow Completion
+
+Inform user that the PRD is complete and polished:
+- Celebrate successful completion of comprehensive PRD
+- Summarize all sections that were created
+- Highlight that document has been polished for flow and coherence
+- Emphasize document is ready for downstream work
+
+### 2. Workflow Status Update
+
+Update the main workflow status file if there is one:
+
+- Load `{status_file}` from workflow configuration (if exists)
+- Update workflow_status["prd"] = "{default_output_file}"
+- Save file, preserving all comments and structure
+- Mark current timestamp as completion time
+
+### 3. Validation Workflow Options
+
+Offer validation workflows to ensure PRD is ready for implementation:
+
+**Available Validation Workflows:**
+
+**Option 1: Check Implementation Readiness** (`{checkImplementationReadinessWorkflow}`)
+- Validates PRD has all information needed for development
+- Checks epic coverage completeness
+- Reviews UX alignment with requirements
+- Assesses epic quality and readiness
+- Identifies gaps before architecture/design work begins
+
+**When to use:** Before starting technical architecture or epic breakdown
+
+**Option 2: Skip for Now**
+- Proceed directly to next workflows (architecture, UX, epics)
+- Validation can be done later if needed
+- Some teams prefer to validate during architecture reviews
+
+### 4. Suggest Next Workflows
+
+Provide guidance on logical next workflows - strongly suggesting any of these chosen are started in a fresh context with the appropriate agent:
+
+**Typical Next Workflows:**
+
+**Immediate Next Steps:**
+
+1. **PRD Quality Validation First (Recommended):**
+ - execute the `{validationFlow}` workflow if selected or start a new chat with me and select the validate PRD menu item
+ - Ensures PRD is complete and ready
+ - Identifies any gaps or issues
+ - Validates before committing to architecture/design
+
+2. **UX Design:** `workflow create-ux-design` with the UX-Designer Agent (if UI exists)
+ - User journey insights from step-04 inform interaction design
+ - Functional requirements from step-09 define design scope
+ - Polish-optimized document provides clear design requirements
+
+3. **Technical Architecture:** `workflow create-architecture` with the Architect Agent
+ - Project-type requirements from step-07 guide technical decisions
+ - Non-functional requirements from step-10 inform architecture choices
+ - Functional requirements define system capabilities
+
+4. **Epic Breakdown:** `workflow create-epics-and-stories` with me again - but really recommend first doing a UX if needed and an architecture!
+ - Functional requirements from step-09 become epics and stories
+ - Scope definition from step-03 guides sprint planning
+ - Richer when created after UX/architecture
+
+**Strategic Considerations:**
+
+- Validation adds confidence before architecture/design investment
+- UX design and architecture can happen in parallel after validation
+- Epics/stories are richer when created after UX/architecture
+- Order depends on team preferences and project needs
+
+### 5. Final Completion Confirmation
+
+- Confirm completion with user and summarize what has been accomplished
+- Document now contains: Executive Summary, Success Criteria, User Journeys, Domain Requirements (if applicable), Innovation Analysis (if applicable), Project-Type Requirements, Functional Requirements (capability contract), Non-Functional Requirements, and has been polished for flow and coherence
+- Ask if they'd like to run validation workflow or proceed to next workflows
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS:
+
+✅ PRD document contains all required sections and has been polished
+✅ All collaborative content properly saved and optimized
+✅ Workflow status file updated with completion information (if exists)
+✅ Validation workflow options clearly presented
+✅ Clear next step guidance provided to user
+✅ Document quality validation completed
+✅ User acknowledges completion and understands next options
+
+## FAILURE MODES:
+
+❌ Not updating workflow status file with completion information (if exists)
+❌ Not offering validation workflow options
+❌ Missing clear next step guidance for user
+❌ Not confirming document completeness with user
+❌ Workflow not properly marked as complete in status tracking (if applicable)
+❌ User unclear about what happens next or what validation options exist
+
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
+❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols

+# Step E-1: Discovery & Understanding
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Understand what the user wants to edit in the PRD, detect PRD format/type, check for validation report guidance, and route appropriately.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a Validation Architect and PRD Improvement Specialist
+- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- ✅ You bring analytical expertise and improvement guidance
+- ✅ User brings domain knowledge and edit requirements
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus ONLY on discovering user intent and PRD format
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to make any edits yet
+- 💬 Approach: Inquisitive and analytical, understanding before acting
+- 🚪 This is a branch step - may route to legacy conversion
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Discover user's edit requirements
+- 🎯 Auto-detect validation reports in PRD folder (use as guide)
+- 🎯 Load validation report if provided (use as guide)
+- 🎯 Detect PRD format (BMAD/legacy)
+- 🎯 Route appropriately based on format
+- 💾 Document discoveries for next step
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without understanding requirements
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: PRD file to edit, optional validation report, auto-detected validation reports
+- Focus: User intent discovery and format detection only
+- Limits: Don't edit yet, don't validate yet
+- Dependencies: None - this is first edit step
+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Load PRD Purpose Standards
+
+Load and read the complete file at:
+`{prdPurpose}` (data/prd-purpose.md)
+
+This file defines what makes a great BMAD PRD. Internalize this understanding - it will guide improvement recommendations.
+
+### 2. Discover PRD to Edit
+
+"**PRD Edit Workflow**
+
+Which PRD would you like to edit?
+
+Please provide the path to the PRD file you want to edit."
+
+**Wait for user to provide PRD path.**
+
+### 3. Validate PRD Exists and Load
+
+Once PRD path is provided:
+- Check if PRD file exists at specified path
+- If not found: "I cannot find a PRD at that path. Please check the path and try again."
+- If found: Load the complete PRD file including frontmatter
+
+### 4. Check for Existing Validation Report
+
+**Check if validation report exists in the PRD folder:**
+
+```bash
+# Look for most recent validation report in the PRD folder
+ls -t {prd_folder_path}/validation-report-*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1
+```
+
+**If validation report found:**
+
+Display:
+"**📋 Found Validation Report**
+
+I found a validation report from {validation_date} in the PRD folder.
+
+This report contains findings from previous validation checks and can help guide our edits to fix known issues.
+
+**Would you like to:**
+- **[U] Use validation report** - Load it to guide and prioritize edits
+- **[S] Skip** - Proceed with manual edit discovery"
+
+**Wait for user input.**
+
+**IF U (Use validation report):**
+- Load the validation report file
+- Extract findings, issues, and improvement suggestions
+- Note: "Validation report loaded - will use it to guide prioritized improvements"
+- Continue to step 5
+
+**IF S (Skip) or no validation report found:**
+- Note: "Proceeding with manual edit discovery"
+- Continue to step 5
+
+**If no validation report found:**
+- Note: "No validation report found in PRD folder"
+- Continue to step 5 without asking user
+
+### 5. Ask About Validation Report
+
+"**Do you have a validation report to guide edits?**
+
+If you've run the validation workflow on this PRD, I can use that report to guide improvements and prioritize changes.
+
+Validation report path (or type 'none'):"
+
+**Wait for user input.**
+
+**If validation report path provided:**
+- Load the validation report
+- Extract findings, severity, improvement suggestions
+- Note: "Validation report loaded - will use it to guide prioritized improvements"
+
+**If no validation report:**
+- Note: "Proceeding with manual edit discovery"
+- Continue to step 6
+
+### 6. Discover Edit Requirements
+
+"**What would you like to edit in this PRD?**
+
+Please describe the changes you want to make. For example:
+- Fix specific issues (information density, implementation leakage, etc.)
+- Add missing sections or content
+- Improve structure and flow
+- Convert to BMAD format (if legacy PRD)
+- General improvements
+- Other changes
+
+**Describe your edit goals:**"
+
+**Wait for user to describe their requirements.**
+
+### 7. Detect PRD Format
+
+Analyze the loaded PRD:
+
+**Extract all ## Level 2 headers** from PRD
+
+**Check for BMAD PRD core sections:**
+1. Executive Summary
+2. Success Criteria
+3. Product Scope
+4. User Journeys
+5. Functional Requirements
+6. Non-Functional Requirements
+
+**Classify format:**
+- **BMAD Standard:** 5-6 core sections present
+- **BMAD Variant:** 3-4 core sections present, generally follows BMAD patterns
+- **Legacy (Non-Standard):** Fewer than 3 core sections, does not follow BMAD structure
+
+### 8. Route Based on Format and Context
+
+**IF validation report provided OR PRD is BMAD Standard/Variant:**
+
+Display: "**Edit Requirements Understood**
+
+**PRD Format:** {classification}
+{If validation report: "**Validation Guide:** Yes - will use validation report findings"}
+**Edit Goals:** {summary of user's requirements}
+
+**Proceeding to deep review and analysis...**"
+
+Load and execute next step (step-e-02-review.md)
+

+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- User's edit requirements clearly understood
+- Auto-detected validation reports loaded and analyzed (when found)
+- Manual validation report loaded and analyzed (if provided)
+- PRD format detected correctly
+- BMAD PRDs proceed directly to review step
+- Legacy PRDs pause and present conversion options
+- User can choose conversion path or edit as-is
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Not discovering user's edit requirements
+- Not auto-detecting validation reports in PRD folder
+- Not loading validation report when provided (auto or manual)
+- Missing format detection
+- Not pausing for legacy PRDs without guidance
+- Auto-proceeding without understanding intent
+
+**Master Rule:** Understand before editing. Detect format early so we can guide users appropriately. Auto-detect and use validation reports for prioritized improvements.

+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Analyze legacy PRD against BMAD standards, identify gaps, propose conversion strategy, and let user choose how to proceed.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`

+- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- ✅ You bring BMAD standards expertise and conversion guidance
+- ✅ User brings domain knowledge and edit requirements
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus ONLY on conversion assessment and proposal
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to perform conversion yet (that comes in edit step)
+- 💬 Approach: Analytical gap analysis with clear recommendations
+- 🚪 This is a branch step - user chooses conversion path
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Analyze legacy PRD against BMAD standard
+- 💾 Identify gaps and estimate conversion effort
+- 📖 Present conversion options with effort estimates
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without user selection
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Legacy PRD, user's edit requirements, prd-purpose standards
+- Focus: Conversion assessment only (not actual conversion)
+- Limits: Don't convert yet, don't validate yet
+- Dependencies: Step e-01 detected legacy format and routed here
+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Attempt Sub-Process Assessment
+
+**Try to use Task tool with sub-agent:**
+
+"Perform legacy PRD conversion assessment:
+
+**Load the PRD and prd-purpose.md**
+
+**For each BMAD PRD section, analyze:**
+1. Does PRD have this section? (Executive Summary, Success Criteria, Product Scope, User Journeys, Functional Requirements, Non-Functional Requirements)
+2. If present: Is it complete and well-structured?
+3. If missing: What content exists that could migrate to this section?
+4. Effort to create/complete: Minimal / Moderate / Significant
+
+**Identify:**
+- Core sections present: {count}/6
+- Content gaps in each section
+- Overall conversion effort: Quick / Moderate / Substantial
+- Recommended approach: Full restructuring vs targeted improvements
+
+Return conversion assessment with gap analysis and effort estimate."
+
+**Graceful degradation (if no Task tool):**
+- Manually check PRD for each BMAD section
+- Note what's present and what's missing
+- Estimate conversion effort
+- Identify best conversion approach
+
+### 2. Build Gap Analysis
+
+**For each BMAD core section:**
+
+**Executive Summary:**
+- Present: [Yes/No/Partial]
+- Gap: [what's missing or incomplete]
+- Effort to Complete: [Minimal/Moderate/Significant]
+
+**Success Criteria:**
+- Present: [Yes/No/Partial]
+- Gap: [what's missing or incomplete]

+
+**User Journeys:**
+- Present: [Yes/No/Partial]
+- Gap: [what's missing or incomplete]
+- Effort to Complete: [Minimal/Moderate/Significant]
+
+**Functional Requirements:**
+- Present: [Yes/No/Partial]

+**[X] Exit** - Review assessment and decide
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input

+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- All 6 BMAD core sections analyzed for gaps
+- Effort estimates provided for each section
+- Overall conversion effort assessed correctly
+- Clear recommendation provided based on effort and user goals
+- User chooses conversion strategy (restructure/targeted/both)

+
+- Available context: PRD path (user-specified or discovered), workflow configuration
+- Focus: Document discovery and setup only
+- Limits: Don't perform validation, don't skip discovery
+- Dependencies: Configuration loaded from PRD workflow.md initialization
+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Load PRD Purpose and Standards
+
+Load and read the complete file at:
+`{prdPurpose}`
+
+This file contains the BMAD PRD philosophy, standards, and validation criteria that will guide all validation checks. Internalize this understanding - it defines what makes a great BMAD PRD.
+
+### 2. Discover PRD to Validate
+
+**If PRD path provided as invocation parameter:**
+- Use provided path
+
+**If no PRD path provided:**
+"**PRD Validation Workflow**
+
+Which PRD would you like to validate?
+
+Please provide the path to the PRD file you want to validate."
+
+**Wait for user to provide PRD path.**
+
+### 3. Validate PRD Exists and Load
+
+Once PRD path is provided:
+
+- Check if PRD file exists at specified path
+- If not found: "I cannot find a PRD at that path. Please check the path and try again."
+- If found: Load the complete PRD file including frontmatter
+
+### 4. Extract Frontmatter and Input Documents
+
+From the loaded PRD frontmatter, extract:
+
+- `inputDocuments: []` array (if present)
+- Any other relevant metadata (classification, date, etc.)
+
+**If no inputDocuments array exists:**
+Note this and proceed with PRD-only validation
+
+### 5. Load Input Documents
+
+For each document listed in `inputDocuments`:
+
+- Attempt to load the document
+- Track successfully loaded documents
+- Note any documents that fail to load
+
+**Build list of loaded input documents:**
+- Product Brief (if present)
+- Research documents (if present)
+- Other reference materials (if present)
+
+### 6. Ask About Additional Reference Documents
+
+"**I've loaded the following documents from your PRD frontmatter:**
+
+{list loaded documents with file names}
+
+**Are there any additional reference documents you'd like me to include in this validation?**
+
+These could include:
+- Additional research or context documents
+- Project documentation not tracked in frontmatter
+- Standards or compliance documents
+- Competitive analysis or benchmarks
+
+Please provide paths to any additional documents, or type 'none' to proceed."
+
+**Load any additional documents provided by user.**
+
+### 7. Initialize Validation Report
+
+Create validation report at: `{validationReportPath}`
+
+**Initialize with frontmatter:**
+```yaml
+---
+validationTarget: '{prd_path}'
+validationDate: '{current_date}'
+inputDocuments: [list of all loaded documents]
+validationStepsCompleted: []
+validationStatus: IN_PROGRESS

+- PRD path discovered and confirmed
+- PRD file exists and loads successfully
+- All input documents from frontmatter loaded
+- Additional reference documents (if any) loaded
+- Validation report initialized next to PRD
+- User clearly informed of setup status
+- Menu presented and user input handled correctly
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Proceeding with non-existent PRD file
+- Not loading input documents from frontmatter
+- Creating validation report in wrong location
+- Proceeding without user confirming setup
+- Not handling missing input documents gracefully
+
+**Master Rule:** Complete discovery and setup BEFORE validation. This step ensures everything is in place for systematic validation checks.

+- Limits: Don't perform other validation, don't skip classification
+- Dependencies: Step 1 completed - PRD loaded and report initialized
+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Extract PRD Structure
+
+Load the complete PRD file and extract:
+
+**All Level 2 (##) headers:**
+- Scan through entire PRD document
+- Extract all ## section headers
+- List them in order
+
+**PRD frontmatter:**
+- Extract classification.domain if present
+- Extract classification.projectType if present
+- Note any other relevant metadata
+
+### 2. Check for BMAD PRD Core Sections
+
+Check if the PRD contains the following BMAD PRD core sections:
+
+1. **Executive Summary** (or variations: ## Executive Summary, ## Overview, ## Introduction)
+2. **Success Criteria** (or: ## Success Criteria, ## Goals, ## Objectives)

+
+**Count matches:**
+- How many of these 6 core sections are present?
+- Which specific sections are present?
+- Which are missing?
+
+### 3. Classify PRD Format
+
+Based on core section count, classify:
+
+**BMAD Standard:**
+- 5-6 core sections present
+- Follows BMAD PRD structure closely
+
+**BMAD Variant:**
+- 3-4 core sections present
+- Generally follows BMAD patterns but may have structural differences
+- Missing some sections but recognizable as BMAD-style
+
+**Non-Standard:**
+- Fewer than 3 core sections present
+- Does not follow BMAD PRD structure
+- May be completely custom format, legacy format, or from another framework
+
+### 4. Report Format Findings to Validation Report
+
+Append to validation report:
+
+```markdown
+## Format Detection
+
+**PRD Structure:**
+[List all ## Level 2 headers found]
+
+**BMAD Core Sections Present:**
+- Executive Summary: [Present/Missing]
+- Success Criteria: [Present/Missing]

+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- All ## Level 2 headers extracted successfully
+- BMAD core sections checked systematically
+- Format classified correctly based on section count
+- Findings reported to validation report
+- BMAD Standard/Variant PRDs proceed directly to next validation step
+- Non-Standard PRDs pause and present options to user
+- User can choose parity check, validate as-is, or exit
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Not extracting all headers before classification
+- Incorrect format classification
+- Not reporting findings to validation report
+- Not pausing for non-standard PRDs
+- Proceeding without user decision for non-standard formats
+
+**Master Rule:** Format detection determines validation path. Non-standard PRDs require user choice before proceeding.

+### 1. Analyze Each BMAD PRD Section
+
+For each of the 6 BMAD PRD core sections, analyze:
+
+**Executive Summary:**
+- Does PRD have vision/overview?
+- Is problem statement clear?
+- Are target users identified?
+- Gap: [What's missing or incomplete]
+
+**Success Criteria:**
+- Are measurable goals defined?

+**Non-Functional Requirements:**
+- Are quality attributes defined?
+- Are performance/security/etc. requirements documented?
+- Gap: [What's missing or incomplete]
+
+### 2. Estimate Effort to Reach Parity
+
+For each missing or incomplete section, estimate:
+
+**Effort Level:**
+- Minimal - Section exists but needs minor enhancements
+- Moderate - Section missing but content exists elsewhere in PRD
+- Significant - Section missing, requires new content creation
+
+**Total Parity Effort:**
+- Based on individual section estimates
+- Classify overall: Quick / Moderate / Substantial effort

+
+### 1. Attempt Sub-Process Validation
+
+**Try to use Task tool to spawn a subprocess:**
+
+"Perform information density validation on this PRD:
+
+1. Load the PRD file
+2. Scan for the following anti-patterns:
+ - Conversational filler phrases (examples: 'The system will allow users to...', 'It is important to note that...', 'In order to')
+ - Wordy phrases (examples: 'Due to the fact that', 'In the event of', 'For the purpose of')
+ - Redundant phrases (examples: 'Future plans', 'Absolutely essential', 'Past history')
+3. Count violations by category with line numbers
+4. Classify severity: Critical (>10 violations), Warning (5-10), Pass (<5)
+
+Return structured findings with counts and examples."
+
+### 2. Graceful Degradation (if Task tool unavailable)
+
+If Task tool unavailable, perform analysis directly:
+
+**Scan for conversational filler patterns:**
+- "The system will allow users to..."
+- "It is important to note that..."
+- "In order to"
+- "For the purpose of"
+- "With regard to"
+- Count occurrences and note line numbers
+
+**Scan for wordy phrases:**
+- "Due to the fact that" (use "because")
+- "In the event of" (use "if")
+- "At this point in time" (use "now")
+- "In a manner that" (use "how")
+- Count occurrences and note line numbers
+
+**Scan for redundant phrases:**
+- "Future plans" (just "plans")
+- "Past history" (just "history")
+- "Absolutely essential" (just "essential")
+- "Completely finish" (just "finish")
+- Count occurrences and note line numbers
+
+### 3. Classify Severity
+
+**Calculate total violations:**
+- Conversational filler count
+- Wordy phrases count
+- Redundant phrases count
+- Total = sum of all categories
+
+**Determine severity:**
+- **Critical:** Total > 10 violations
+- **Warning:** Total 5-10 violations
+- **Pass:** Total < 5 violations
+
+### 4. Report Density Findings to Validation Report
+
+Append to validation report:
+
+```markdown
+## Information Density Validation
+
+**Anti-Pattern Violations:**

+- Review Functional Requirements for features
+- Check Success Criteria section
+- Search for differentiators
+
+**Classify coverage:**
+- **Fully Covered:** Content present and complete
+- **Partially Covered:** Content present but incomplete
+- **Not Found:** Content missing from PRD
+- **Intentionally Excluded:** Content explicitly out of scope
+
+### 4. Assess Coverage and Severity
+
+**For each gap (Partially Covered or Not Found):**
+- Is this Critical? (Core vision, primary users, main features)
+- Is this Moderate? (Secondary features, some goals)

+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a Validation Architect and Quality Assurance Specialist
+- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- ✅ We engage in systematic validation, not collaborative dialogue
+- ✅ You bring analytical rigor and separation of concerns expertise
+- ✅ This step runs autonomously - no user input needed
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus ONLY on implementation leakage detection
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to validate other aspects in this step
+- 💬 Approach: Systematic scanning for technology and implementation terms
+- 🚪 This is a validation sequence step - auto-proceeds when complete
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Scan FRs and NFRs for implementation terms
+- 💾 Distinguish capability-relevant vs leakage
+- 📖 Append findings to validation report
+- 📖 Display "Proceeding to next check..." and load next step
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to pause or request user input
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: PRD file, validation report
+- Focus: Implementation leakage detection only
+- Limits: Don't validate other aspects, don't pause for user input
+- Dependencies: Steps 2-6 completed - initial validations done
+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Attempt Sub-Process Validation
+
+**Try to use Task tool to spawn a subprocess:**
+
+"Perform implementation leakage validation on this PRD:
+
+**Scan for:**
+1. Technology names (React, Vue, Angular, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
+2. Library names (Redux, axios, lodash, Express, Django, Rails, Spring, etc.)
+3. Data structures (JSON, XML, CSV) unless relevant to capability
+4. Architecture patterns (MVC, microservices, serverless) unless business requirement
+5. Protocol names (HTTP, REST, GraphQL, WebSockets) - check if capability-relevant
+
+**For each term found:**
+- Is this capability-relevant? (e.g., 'API consumers can access...' - API is capability)
+- Or is this implementation detail? (e.g., 'React component for...' - implementation)
+
+Document violations with line numbers and explanation.
+
+Return structured findings with leakage counts and examples."
+
+### 2. Graceful Degradation (if Task tool unavailable)
+
+If Task tool unavailable, perform analysis directly:
+
+**Implementation leakage terms to scan for:**
+
+**Frontend Frameworks:**
+React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Solid, Next.js, Nuxt, etc.
+
+**Backend Frameworks:**
+Express, Django, Rails, Spring, Laravel, FastAPI, etc.
+
+**Databases:**
+PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB, Cassandra, etc.
+
+**Cloud Platforms:**
+AWS, GCP, Azure, Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, etc.
+
+**Infrastructure:**
+Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, etc.
+
+**Libraries:**
+Redux, Zustand, axios, fetch, lodash, jQuery, etc.
+
+**Data Formats:**
+JSON, XML, YAML, CSV (unless capability-relevant)
+
+**For each term found in FRs/NFRs:**
+- Determine if it's capability-relevant or implementation leakage
+- Example: "API consumers can access data via REST endpoints" - API/REST is capability
+- Example: "React components fetch data using Redux" - implementation leakage
+
+**Count violations and note line numbers**
+
+### 3. Tally Implementation Leakage
+
+**By category:**
+- Frontend framework leakage: count
+- Backend framework leakage: count
+- Database leakage: count
+- Cloud platform leakage: count
+- Infrastructure leakage: count
+- Library leakage: count
+- Other implementation details: count
+
+**Total implementation leakage violations:** sum
+
+### 4. Report Implementation Leakage Findings to Validation Report
+
+Append to validation report:
+
+```markdown
+## Implementation Leakage Validation
+
+### Leakage by Category
+
+**Frontend Frameworks:** {count} violations
+{If violations, list examples with line numbers}
+
+**Backend Frameworks:** {count} violations

+
+**Libraries:** {count} violations
+{If violations, list examples with line numbers}
+
+**Other Implementation Details:** {count} violations
+{If violations, list examples with line numbers}
+
+### Summary
+
+**Total Implementation Leakage Violations:** {total}
+
+**Severity:** [Critical if >5 violations, Warning if 2-5, Pass if <2]
+
+**Recommendation:**
+[If Critical] "Extensive implementation leakage found. Requirements specify HOW instead of WHAT. Remove all implementation details - these belong in architecture, not PRD."
+[If Warning] "Some implementation leakage detected. Review violations and remove implementation details from requirements."
+[If Pass] "No significant implementation leakage found. Requirements properly specify WHAT without HOW."
+
+**Note:** API consumers, GraphQL (when required), and other capability-relevant terms are acceptable when they describe WHAT the system must do, not HOW to build it.
+```

+- ✅ This step runs autonomously - no user input needed
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus ONLY on domain-specific compliance requirements
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to validate other aspects in this step
+- 💬 Approach: Conditional validation based on domain classification
+- 🚪 This is a validation sequence step - auto-proceeds when complete
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: PRD file with frontmatter classification, validation report
+- Focus: Domain compliance only (conditional on domain complexity)
+- Limits: Don't validate other aspects, conditional execution
+- Dependencies: Steps 2-7 completed - format and requirements validation done
+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Load Domain Complexity Data
+
+Load and read the complete file at:
+`{domainComplexityData}` (../data/domain-complexity.csv)
+
+This CSV contains:
+- Domain classifications and complexity levels (high/medium/low)
+- Required special sections for each domain
+- Key concerns and requirements for regulated industries
+
+Internalize this data - it drives which domains require special compliance sections.
+
+### 2. Extract Domain Classification
+
+From PRD frontmatter, extract:
+- `classification.domain` - what domain is this PRD for?
+
+**If no domain classification found:**
+Treat as "general" (low complexity) and proceed to step 4
+
+### 2. Determine Domain Complexity
+
+**Low complexity domains (skip detailed checks):**
+- General
+- Consumer apps (standard e-commerce, social, productivity)
+- Content websites
+- Business tools (standard)
+
+**High complexity domains (require special sections):**
+- Healthcare / Healthtech
+- Fintech / Financial services
+- GovTech / Public sector
+- EdTech (educational records, accredited courses)
+- Legal tech
+- Other regulated domains
+
+### 3. For High-Complexity Domains: Validate Required Special Sections
+
+**Attempt subprocess validation:**
+
+"Perform domain compliance validation for {domain}:
+
+Based on {domain} requirements, check PRD for:
+
+**Healthcare:**
+- Clinical Requirements section
+- Regulatory Pathway (FDA, HIPAA, etc.)
+- Safety Measures
+- HIPAA Compliance (data privacy, security)
+- Patient safety considerations
+
+**Fintech:**
+- Compliance Matrix (SOC2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, etc.)
+- Security Architecture
+- Audit Requirements
+- Fraud Prevention measures
+- Financial transaction handling
+
+**GovTech:**
+- Accessibility Standards (WCAG 2.1 AA, Section 508)
+- Procurement Compliance
+- Security Clearance requirements
+- Data residency requirements
+
+**Other regulated domains:**
+- Check for domain-specific regulatory sections
+- Compliance requirements
+- Special considerations
+
+For each required section:
+- Is it present in PRD?
+- Is it adequately documented?
+- Note any gaps
+
+Return compliance matrix with presence/adequacy assessment."
+
+**Graceful degradation (if no Task tool):**
+- Manually check for required sections based on domain
+- List present sections and missing sections
+- Assess adequacy of documentation
+
+### 5. For Low-Complexity Domains: Skip Detailed Checks
+
+Append to validation report:
+```markdown
+## Domain Compliance Validation
+
+**Domain:** {domain}
+**Complexity:** Low (general/standard)
+**Assessment:** N/A - No special domain compliance requirements
+
+**Note:** This PRD is for a standard domain without regulatory compliance requirements.

+Immediately load and execute {nextStepFile}
+
+### 6. Report Compliance Findings (High-Complexity Domains)
+
+Append to validation report:
+
+```markdown
+## Domain Compliance Validation
+
+**Domain:** {domain}
+**Complexity:** High (regulated)
+
+### Required Special Sections
+
+**{Section 1 Name}:** [Present/Missing/Adequate]
+{If missing or inadequate: Note specific gaps}
+
+**{Section 2 Name}:** [Present/Missing/Adequate]
+{If missing or inadequate: Note specific gaps}
+
+[Continue for all required sections]
+
+### Compliance Matrix
+
+| Requirement | Status | Notes |
+|-------------|--------|-------|
+| {Requirement 1} | [Met/Partial/Missing] | {Notes} |
+| {Requirement 2} | [Met/Partial/Missing] | {Notes} |
+[... continue for all requirements]
+
+### Summary
+
+**Required Sections Present:** {count}/{total}
+**Compliance Gaps:** {count}
+
+**Severity:** [Critical if missing regulatory sections, Warning if incomplete, Pass if complete]
+
+**Recommendation:**
+[If Critical] "PRD is missing required domain-specific compliance sections. These are essential for {domain} products."
+[If Warning] "Some domain compliance sections are incomplete. Strengthen documentation for full compliance."
+[If Pass] "All required domain compliance sections are present and adequately documented."
+```

+
+---
+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- Domain classification extracted correctly
+- Complexity assessed appropriately
+- Low complexity domains: Skipped with clear "N/A" documentation
+- High complexity domains: All required sections checked
+- Compliance matrix built with status for each requirement
+- Severity assessed correctly
+- Findings reported to validation report
+- Auto-proceeds to next validation step
+- Subprocess attempted with graceful degradation
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Not checking domain classification before proceeding
+- Performing detailed checks on low complexity domains
+- For high complexity: missing required section checks
+- Not building compliance matrix
+- Not reporting findings to validation report
+- Not auto-proceeding
+
+**Master Rule:** Domain compliance is conditional. High-complexity domains require special sections - low complexity domains skip these checks.

+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Load Project Types Data
+
+Load and read the complete file at:
+`{projectTypesData}` (../data/project-types.csv)
+
+This CSV contains:
+- Detection signals for each project type
+- Required sections for each project type
+- Skip/excluded sections for each project type
+- Innovation signals
+
+Internalize this data - it drives what sections must be present or absent for each project type.
+
+### 2. Extract Project Type Classification
+
+From PRD frontmatter, extract:
+- `classification.projectType` - what type of project is this?
+
+**Common project types:**
+- api_backend
+- web_app
+- mobile_app
+- desktop_app
+- data_pipeline
+- ml_system
+- library_sdk
+- infrastructure
+- other
+
+**If no projectType classification found:**
+Assume "web_app" (most common) and note in findings
+
+### 3. Determine Required and Excluded Sections from CSV Data
+
+**From loaded project-types.csv data, for this project type:**
+
+**Required sections:** (from required_sections column)
+These MUST be present in the PRD
+
+**Skip sections:** (from skip_sections column)
+These MUST NOT be present in the PRD
+
+**Example mappings from CSV:**
+- api_backend: Required=[endpoint_specs, auth_model, data_schemas], Skip=[ux_ui, visual_design]
+- mobile_app: Required=[platform_reqs, device_permissions, offline_mode], Skip=[desktop_features, cli_commands]
+- cli_tool: Required=[command_structure, output_formats, config_schema], Skip=[visual_design, ux_principles, touch_interactions]
+- etc.
+
+### 4. Validate Against CSV-Based Requirements
+
+**Based on project type, determine:**
+
+**api_backend:**
+- Required: Endpoint Specs, Auth Model, Data Schemas, API Versioning
+- Excluded: UX/UI sections, mobile-specific sections
+
+**web_app:**
+- Required: User Journeys, UX/UI Requirements, Responsive Design
+- Excluded: None typically
+
+**mobile_app:**
+- Required: Mobile UX, Platform specifics (iOS/Android), Offline mode
+- Excluded: Desktop-specific sections
+
+**desktop_app:**
+- Required: Desktop UX, Platform specifics (Windows/Mac/Linux)
+- Excluded: Mobile-specific sections
+
+**data_pipeline:**
+- Required: Data Sources, Data Transformation, Data Sinks, Error Handling
+- Excluded: UX/UI sections
+
+**ml_system:**
+- Required: Model Requirements, Training Data, Inference Requirements, Model Performance
+- Excluded: UX/UI sections (unless ML UI)
+
+**library_sdk:**
+- Required: API Surface, Usage Examples, Integration Guide
+- Excluded: UX/UI sections, deployment sections
+
+**infrastructure:**
+- Required: Infrastructure Components, Deployment, Monitoring, Scaling
+- Excluded: Feature requirements (this is infrastructure, not product)
+
+### 4. Attempt Sub-Process Validation
+
+"Perform project-type compliance validation for {projectType}:
+
+**Check that required sections are present:**
+{List required sections for this project type}
+For each: Is it present in PRD? Is it adequately documented?
+
+**Check that excluded sections are absent:**
+{List excluded sections for this project type}
+For each: Is it absent from PRD? (Should not be present)
+
+Build compliance table showing:
+- Required sections: [Present/Missing/Incomplete]
+- Excluded sections: [Absent/Present] (Present = violation)
+
+Return compliance table with findings."
+
+**Graceful degradation (if no Task tool):**
+- Manually check PRD for required sections
+- Manually check PRD for excluded sections
+- Build compliance table
+
+### 5. Build Compliance Table
+
+**Required sections check:**
+- For each required section: Present / Missing / Incomplete
+- Count: Required sections present vs total required
+
+**Excluded sections check:**
+- For each excluded section: Absent / Present (violation)
+- Count: Excluded sections present (violations)
+
+**Total compliance score:**
+- Required: {present}/{total}
+- Excluded violations: {count}
+
+### 6. Report Project-Type Compliance Findings to Validation Report
+
+Append to validation report:
+
+```markdown
+## Project-Type Compliance Validation
+
+**Project Type:** {projectType}
+
+### Required Sections
+
+**{Section 1}:** [Present/Missing/Incomplete]
+{If missing or incomplete: Note specific gaps}
+
+**{Section 2}:** [Present/Missing/Incomplete]
+{If missing or incomplete: Note specific gaps}
+
+[Continue for all required sections]
+
+### Excluded Sections (Should Not Be Present)
+
+**{Section 1}:** [Absent/Present] ✓
+{If present: This section should not be present for {projectType}}
+
+**{Section 2}:** [Absent/Present] ✓
+{If present: This section should not be present for {projectType}}
+
+[Continue for all excluded sections]
+
+### Compliance Summary
+
+**Required Sections:** {present}/{total} present
+**Excluded Sections Present:** {violations} (should be 0)
+**Compliance Score:** {percentage}%
+
+**Severity:** [Critical if required sections missing, Warning if incomplete, Pass if complete]
+
+**Recommendation:**
+[If Critical] "PRD is missing required sections for {projectType}. Add missing sections to properly specify this type of project."
+[If Warning] "Some required sections for {projectType} are incomplete. Strengthen documentation."
+[If Pass] "All required sections for {projectType} are present. No excluded sections found."
+```

+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Extract all FRs from PRD
+- 🎯 Score each FR on SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Traceable)
+- 💾 Flag FRs with score < 3 in any category
+- 📖 Append scoring table and suggestions to validation report

+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to pause or request user input
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: PRD file, validation report
+- Focus: FR quality assessment only using SMART framework
+- Limits: Don't validate NFRs or other aspects, don't pause for user input
+- Dependencies: Steps 2-9 completed - comprehensive validation checks done
+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Extract All Functional Requirements
+
+From the PRD's Functional Requirements section, extract:
+- All FRs with their FR numbers (FR-001, FR-002, etc.)
+- Count total FRs
+
+### 2. Attempt Sub-Process Validation
+
+**Try to use Task tool to spawn a subprocess:**
+
+"Perform SMART requirements validation on these Functional Requirements:
+
+{List all FRs}
+
+**For each FR, score on SMART criteria (1-5 scale):**
+
+**Specific (1-5):**
+- 5: Clear, unambiguous, well-defined
+- 3: Somewhat clear but could be more specific
+- 1: Vague, ambiguous, unclear
+
+**Measurable (1-5):**
+- 5: Quantifiable metrics, testable
+- 3: Partially measurable
+- 1: Not measurable, subjective
+
+**Attainable (1-5):**
+- 5: Realistic, achievable with constraints
+- 3: Probably achievable but uncertain
+- 1: Unrealistic, technically infeasible
+
+**Relevant (1-5):**
+- 5: Clearly aligned with user needs and business objectives
+- 3: Somewhat relevant but connection unclear
+- 1: Not relevant, doesn't align with goals
+
+**Traceable (1-5):**
+- 5: Clearly traces to user journey or business objective
+- 3: Partially traceable
+- 1: Orphan requirement, no clear source
+
+**For each FR with score < 3 in any category:**
+- Provide specific improvement suggestions
+
+Return scoring table with all FR scores and improvement suggestions for low-scoring FRs."
+
+**Graceful degradation (if no Task tool):**
+- Manually score each FR on SMART criteria
+- Note FRs with low scores
+- Provide improvement suggestions
+
+### 3. Build Scoring Table
+
+For each FR:
+- FR number
+- Specific score (1-5)
+- Measurable score (1-5)
+- Attainable score (1-5)
+- Relevant score (1-5)
+- Traceable score (1-5)
+- Average score
+- Flag if any category < 3
+
+**Calculate overall FR quality:**
+- Percentage of FRs with all scores ≥ 3
+- Percentage of FRs with all scores ≥ 4
+- Average score across all FRs and categories
+
+### 4. Report SMART Findings to Validation Report
+
+Append to validation report:
+
+```markdown
+## SMART Requirements Validation
+
+**Total Functional Requirements:** {count}
+
+### Scoring Summary
+
+**All scores ≥ 3:** {percentage}% ({count}/{total})
+**All scores ≥ 4:** {percentage}% ({count}/{total})

+| FR-002 | {s2} | {m2} | {a2} | {r2} | {t2} | {avg2} | {X if any <3} |
+[Continue for all FRs]
+
+**Legend:** 1=Poor, 3=Acceptable, 5=Excellent
+**Flag:** X = Score < 3 in one or more categories
+
+### Improvement Suggestions
+
+**Low-Scoring FRs:**
+
+**FR-{number}:** {specific suggestion for improvement}
+[For each FR with score < 3 in any category]
+
+### Overall Assessment
+
+**Severity:** [Critical if >30% flagged FRs, Warning if 10-30%, Pass if <10%]
+
+**Recommendation:**
+[If Critical] "Many FRs have quality issues. Revise flagged FRs using SMART framework to improve clarity and testability."
+[If Warning] "Some FRs would benefit from SMART refinement. Focus on flagged requirements above."
+[If Pass] "Functional Requirements demonstrate good SMART quality overall."

-# Step 2: Project & Domain Discovery
-
-**Progress: Step 2 of 11** - Next: Success Criteria Definition
-
-## STEP GOAL:
-
-Conduct comprehensive project discovery that leverages existing input documents while allowing user refinement, with data-driven classification, and generate the Executive Summary content.
-
-## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
-
-### Universal Rules:
-
-- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
-- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
-- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
-- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
-- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
-
-### Role Reinforcement:
-
-- ✅ You are a product-focused PM facilitator collaborating with an expert peer
-- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
-- ✅ You bring structured thinking and facilitation skills, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision
-
-### Step-Specific Rules:
-
-- 🎯 Focus on project classification and vision alignment only
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to generate content without real user input
-- 💬 APPROACH: Adapt questions based on document context (brownfield vs greenfield)
-- 🎯 LOAD classification data BEFORE starting discovery conversation
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
-- ⚠️ Present A/P/C menu after generating executive summary content
-- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Continue)
-- 📖 Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1, 2]` 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 develop deeper insights about the generated content
-- **P (Party Mode)**: Bring multiple perspectives to discuss and improve the generated content
-- **C (Continue)**: Append and save the content to the `{outputFile}` and proceed to next step
-
-## PROTOCOL INTEGRATION:
-
-- When 'A' selected: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
-- When 'P' selected: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
-- PROTOCOLS always return to this step's A/P/C menu
-- User accepts/rejects protocol changes before proceeding
-
-## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
-
-- Current document and frontmatter from step 1 are available
-- Input documents already loaded are in memory (product briefs, research, brainstorming, project docs)
-- **Document counts available in frontmatter `documentCounts`**
-- Classification CSV data will be loaded in this step only
-- This will be the first content section appended to the document
-
-## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
-
-### 1. Read Document State from Frontmatter
-
-**CRITICAL FIRST ACTION:** Read the frontmatter from `{outputFile}` to get document counts.
-
-```
-Read documentCounts from prd.md frontmatter:
-- briefCount = documentCounts.briefs
-- researchCount = documentCounts.research
-- brainstormingCount = documentCounts.brainstorming
-- projectDocsCount = documentCounts.projectDocs
-```
-
-**ANNOUNCE your understanding:**
-
-"From step 1, I have loaded:
-
-- Product briefs: {{briefCount}} files
-- Research: {{researchCount}} files
-- Brainstorming: {{brainstormingCount}} files
-- Project docs: {{projectDocsCount}} files
-
-{if projectDocsCount > 0}This is a **brownfield project** - I'll focus on understanding what you want to add or change.{else}This is a **greenfield project** - I'll help you define the full product vision.{/if}"
-
-### 2. Load Classification Data
-
-Load and prepare CSV data for intelligent classification:
-
-- Load `{projectTypesCSV}` completely
-- Load `{domainComplexityCSV}` completely
-- Parse column structures and store in memory for this step only
-
-### 3. Begin Discovery Conversation
-
-**SELECT EXACTLY ONE DISCOVERY PATH based on document state:**
-
----
-
-#### PATH A: Has Product Brief (briefCount > 0)
-
-**Use this path when:** `briefCount > 0`
-
-"As your PM peer, I've reviewed your product brief and have a great starting point for our discovery. Let me share what I understand and you can refine or correct as needed.
-
-**Based on your product brief:**
-
-**What you're building:**
-{{extracted_vision_from_brief}}
-
-**Problem it solves:**
-{{extracted_problem_from_brief}}
-
-**Target users:**
-{{extracted_users_from_brief}}
-
-**What makes it special:**
-{{extracted_differentiator_from_brief}}
-
-{if projectDocsCount > 0}I also see you have existing project documentation. This PRD will define how new features integrate with your existing system architecture.{/if}
-
-**How does this align with your vision?** Should we refine any of these points or are there important aspects I'm missing?"
-
-**AFTER this message, SKIP to Section 4.**
-
----
-
-#### PATH B: No Brief but Has Project Docs - Brownfield (briefCount == 0 AND projectDocsCount > 0)
-
-**Use this path when:** `briefCount == 0 AND projectDocsCount > 0`
-
-**NOTE:** Extract the following from loaded project documentation (index.md, architecture.md, project-overview.md, etc.):
-
-"As your PM peer, I've reviewed your existing project documentation from document-project.
-
-**Your existing system includes:**
-
-- **Tech Stack:** {analyze index.md and architecture.md for technologies used}
-- **Architecture:** {summarize architecture patterns from architecture.md}
-- **Key Components:** {list main components from source-tree-analysis.md or project-overview.md}
-
-This PRD will define **new features or changes** to add to this existing codebase.
-
-**Tell me about what you want to add or change:**
-
-- What new capability or feature do you want to build?
-- What problem will this solve for your users?
-- How should it integrate with the existing system?
-- Is this adding new functionality, improving existing features, or fixing issues?
-
-I'll help you create a PRD focused on these additions while respecting your existing patterns and architecture."
-
-**AFTER this message, SKIP to Section 4.**
-
----
-
-#### PATH C: No Documents - Greenfield (briefCount == 0 AND projectDocsCount == 0)
-
-**Use this path when:** `briefCount == 0 AND projectDocsCount == 0`
-
-"As your PM peer, I'm excited to help you shape {{project_name}}. Let me start by understanding what you want to build.
-
-**Tell me about what you want to create:**
-
-- What problem does it solve?
-- Who are you building this for?
-- What excites you most about this product?
-
-I'll be listening for signals to help us classify the project and domain so we can ask the right questions throughout our process."
-
-**AFTER this message, continue to Section 4.**
-
----
-
-### 4. Listen for Classification Signals
-
-As the user describes their product/feature, listen for and match against:
-
-#### Project Type Signals
-
-Compare user description against `detection_signals` from `project-types.csv`:
-
-- Look for keyword matches from semicolon-separated signals
-- Examples: "API,REST,GraphQL" → api_backend
-- Examples: "iOS,Android,app,mobile" → mobile_app
-- Store the best matching `project_type`
-
-#### Domain Signals
-
-Compare user description against `signals` from `domain-complexity.csv`:
-
-- Look for domain keyword matches
-- Examples: "medical,diagnostic,clinical" → healthcare
-- Examples: "payment,banking,trading" → fintech
-- Store the matched `domain` and `complexity_level`
-
-### 5. Present Classification for Validation
-
-**SELECT EXACTLY ONE CLASSIFICATION PRESENTATION based on document state:**
-
----
-
-#### IF PATH A was used (briefCount > 0):
-
-"Based on your product brief and our discussion, I'm classifying this as:
-
-- **Project Type:** {project_type_from_brief_or_conversation}
-- **Domain:** {domain_from_brief_or_conversation}
-- **Complexity:** {complexity_from_brief_or_conversation}
-
-From your brief, I detected these classification signals:
-{{classification_signals_from_brief}}
-
-{if projectDocsCount > 0}Your existing project documentation also indicates:
-
-- **Existing Tech Stack:** {from architecture.md or index.md}
-- **Architecture Pattern:** {from architecture.md}
-
-I'll ensure the new features align with your existing system.{/if}
-
-Combined with our conversation, this suggests the above classification. Does this sound right?"
-
----
-
-#### IF PATH B was used (briefCount == 0 AND projectDocsCount > 0):
-
-"Based on your existing project documentation and our discussion about new features:
-
-- **Existing Project Type:** {detected from project docs - e.g., web_app, api_backend}
-- **Tech Stack:** {from architecture.md or index.md}
-- **New Feature Type:** {from user's description of what they want to add}
-- **Domain:** {detected_domain}
-- **Complexity:** {complexity_level}
-
-I'll ensure the PRD aligns with your existing architecture patterns. Does this classification sound right?"
-
----
-
-#### IF PATH C was used (briefCount == 0 AND projectDocsCount == 0):
-
-"Based on our conversation, I'm hearing this as:
-
-- **Project Type:** {detected_project_type}
-- **Domain:** {detected_domain}
-- **Complexity:** {complexity_level}
-
-Does this sound right to you? I want to make sure we're on the same page before diving deeper."
-
----
-
-### 6. Identify What Makes It Special
-
-**SELECT EXACTLY ONE DIFFERENTIATOR DISCOVERY based on document state:**
-
----
-
-#### IF PATH A was used (briefCount > 0):
-
-"From your product brief, I understand that what makes this special is:
-{{extracted_differentiator_from_brief}}
-
-Let's explore this deeper:
-
-- **Refinement needed:** Does this capture the essence correctly, or should we adjust it?
-- **Missing aspects:** Are there other differentiators that aren't captured in your brief?
-- **Evolution:** How has your thinking on this evolved since you wrote the brief?"
-
----
-
-#### IF PATH B was used (briefCount == 0 AND projectDocsCount > 0):
-
-"Your existing system already provides certain capabilities. Now let's define what makes these **new additions** special:
-
-- What gap in your current system will this fill?
-- How will this improve the experience for your existing users?
-- What's the key insight that led you to prioritize this addition?
-- What would make users say 'finally, this is what we needed'?"
-
----
-
-#### IF PATH C was used (briefCount == 0 AND projectDocsCount == 0):
-
-Ask focused questions to capture the product's unique value:
-
-- "What would make users say 'this is exactly what I needed'?"
-- "What's the moment where users realize this is different/better?"
-- "What assumption about [problem space] are you challenging?"
-- "If this succeeds wildly, what changed for your users?"
-
----
-
-### 7. Generate Executive Summary Content
-
-Based on the conversation, prepare the content to append to the document:
-
-#### Content Structure:
-
-```markdown
-## Executive Summary
-
-{vision_alignment_content}
-
-### What Makes This Special
-
-{product_differentiator_content}
-
-## Project Classification
-
-**Technical Type:** {project_type}
-**Domain:** {domain}
-**Complexity:** {complexity_level}
-{if projectDocsCount > 0}**Project Context:** Brownfield - extending existing system{else}**Project Context:** Greenfield - new project{/if}
-
-{project_classification_content}
-```
-
-### 8. Present Content and Menu
-
-Show the generated content to the user and present:
-
-"I've drafted our Executive Summary based on our conversation. This will be the first section of your PRD.
-
-**Here's what I'll add to the document:**
-
-[Show the complete markdown content from step 7]
-
-**Select an Option:**
-[A] Advanced Elicitation - Let's dive deeper and refine this content
-[P] Party Mode - Bring in different perspectives to improve this
-[C] Continue - Save this and move to Success Criteria Definition (Step 3 of 11)"
-
-### 9. Handle Menu Selection
-
-#### IF A (Advanced Elicitation):
-
-- Execute {advancedElicitationTask} with the current content
-- Process the enhanced content that comes back
-- Ask user: "Accept these changes to the Executive Summary? (y/n)"
-- If yes: Update the content with improvements, then return to A/P/C menu
-- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
-
-#### IF P (Party Mode):
-
-- Execute {partyModeWorkflow} with the current content
-- Process the collaborative improvements that come back
-- Ask user: "Accept these changes to the Executive Summary? (y/n)"
-- If yes: Update the content with improvements, 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 `{outputFile}`
-- Update frontmatter: add this step name to the end of the steps completed array
-- Load `{nextStepFile}`
-
-## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
-
-ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [executive summary content finalized and saved to document with frontmatter updated], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin success criteria definition.
-
----
-
-## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
-
-### ✅ SUCCESS:
-
-- Document counts read from frontmatter and announced
-- Classification data loaded and used effectively
-- **Correct discovery path selected based on document counts**
-- Input documents analyzed and leveraged for head start
-- User classifications validated and confirmed
-- Product differentiator clearly identified and refined
-- Executive summary content generated collaboratively with document context
-- A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly
-- Content properly appended to document when C selected
-- Frontmatter updated with stepsCompleted: [1, 2]
-
-### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
-
-- **Not reading documentCounts from frontmatter first**
-- **Executing multiple discovery paths instead of exactly one**
-- Skipping classification data loading and guessing classifications
-- Not leveraging existing input documents to accelerate discovery
-- Not validating classifications with user before proceeding
-- Generating executive summary without real user input
-- Missing the "what makes it special" discovery and refinement
-- Not presenting A/P/C menu after content generation
-- Appending content without user selecting 'C'
-
-**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
-
-## COMPLEXITY HANDLING:
-
-If `complexity_level = "high"`:
-
-- Note the `suggested_workflow` and `web_searches` from domain CSV
-- Consider mentioning domain research needs in classification section
-- Document complexity implications in project classification

-- PROTOCOLS always return to this step's A/P/C menu
-- User accepts/rejects protocol changes before proceeding
-
-## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
-
-- Current document and frontmatter from previous steps are available
-- Success criteria and scope already defined
-- Input documents from step-01 are available (product briefs with user personas)
-- Every human interaction with the system needs a journey
-
-## YOUR TASK:
-
-Create compelling narrative user journeys that leverage existing personas from product briefs and identify additional user types needed for comprehensive coverage.
-
-## JOURNEY MAPPING SEQUENCE:
-
-### 1. Leverage Existing Users & Identify Additional Types
-
-**Check Input Documents for Existing Personas:**
-Analyze product brief, research, and brainstorming documents for user personas already defined.
-
-**If User Personas Exist in Input Documents:**
-"I found some fantastic user personas in your product brief! Let me introduce them and see if we need to expand our cast of characters.
-
-**From your brief:**
-{{extracted_personas_from_brief_with_details}}
-
-These are great starting points! Their stories already give us insight into what they need from {{project_name}}.
-
-**Beyond your identified users, who else touches this system?**
-Based on your product type and scope, we might need:
-
-{{suggest_additional_user_types_based_on_project_context}}
-
-What additional user types should we consider for this product?"
-
-**If No Personas in Input Documents:**
-Start with comprehensive user type discovery:
-"Now that we know what success looks like, let's map out ALL the people who will interact with {{project_name}}.
-
-**Beyond primary users, who else touches this system?**
-Consider:
-
-- End users (the primary focus)
-- Admins - manage users, settings, content
-- Moderators - review flagged content, enforce rules
-- Support staff - help users, investigate issues
-- API consumers - if dev tool or platform
-- Internal ops - analytics, monitoring, billing
-
-What user types should we map for this product?"
-
-### 2. Create Narrative Story-Based Journeys
-
-For each user type, create compelling narrative journeys that tell their story:
-
-#### Narrative Journey Creation Process:
-
-**If Using Existing Persona from Input Documents:**
-"Let's tell {{persona_name}}'s story with {{project_name}}.
-
-**Their Story So Far:**
-{{persona_backstory_from_brief}}
-
-**How {{project_name}} Changes Their Life:**
-{{how_product_helps_them}}
-
-Let's craft their journey narrative - where do we meet them in their story, and how does {{project_name}} help them write their next chapter?"
-
-**If Creating New Persona:**
-"Let's bring this user type to life with a compelling story.
-
-**Creating Their Character:**
-
-- **Name**: Give them a realistic name and personality
-- **Situation**: What's happening in their life/work that creates the need?
-- **Goal**: What do they desperately want to achieve?
-- **Obstacle**: What's standing in their way right now?
-
-**How {{project_name}} Becomes Their Solution:**
-{{how_product_solves_their_story}}
-
-Now let's map their journey narrative."
-
-**Story-Based Journey Mapping:**
-
-"Let's craft this as a story with our hero (the user) facing challenges and finding solutions through {{project_name}}:
-
-**Story Structure:**
-
-- **Opening Scene**: Where and how do we meet them? What's their current pain?
-- **Rising Action**: What steps do they take? What do they discover?
-- **Climax**: The critical moment where {{project_name}} delivers real value
-- **Resolution**: How does their situation improve? What's their new reality?
-
-**Use This Narrative Format such as this example:**
-
-```markdown
-**Journey 1: Maria Santos - Reclaiming Her Creative Time**
-Maria is a freelance graphic designer who loves creating beautiful logos but spends hours every week managing client projects, sending invoices, and chasing payments. She feels like she's running a small business instead of doing what she loves. Late one night, while searching for invoicing tools, she discovers CreativeFlow and decides to give it a try.
-
-The next morning, instead of her usual 30-minute project management routine, she spends 5 minutes setting up her first client in CreativeFlow. The system automatically generates a professional invoice and even suggests follow-up emails based on her communication patterns. When a client asks for a project update, Maria can share a beautiful progress link instead of digging through emails.
-
-The breakthrough comes when she lands a major corporate client who's impressed by her "organized and professional" project setup. Six months later, Maria has doubled her client base and spends 80% of her time actually designing - exactly what she always wanted.

-
-### 3. Guide Journey Exploration
-
-For each journey, facilitate detailed exploration:
-
-- "What happens at each step specifically?"
-- "What could go wrong here? What's the recovery path?"
-- "What information do they need to see/hear?"
-- "What's their emotional state at each point?"
-- "Where does this journey succeed or fail?"
-
-### 4. Connect Journeys to Requirements
-
-After each journey, explicitly state:
-"This journey reveals requirements for:
-
-- List specific capability areas (e.g., onboarding, meal planning, admin dashboard)
-- Help user see how different journeys create different feature sets"
-
-### 5. Aim for Comprehensive Coverage
-
-Guide toward complete journey set:
-
-- **Primary user** - happy path (core experience)
-- **Primary user** - edge case (different goal, error recovery)
-- **Secondary user** (admin, moderator, support, etc.)
-- **API consumer** (if applicable)
-
-Ask: "Another journey? We should cover [suggest uncovered user type]"
-
-### 6. Generate User Journey Content
-
-Prepare the content to append to the document:
-
-#### Content Structure:
-
-When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
-
-```markdown
-## User Journeys
-
-[All journey narratives based on conversation]
-
-### Journey Requirements Summary
-
-[Summary of capabilities revealed by journeys based on conversation]
-```
-
-### 7. Present Content and Menu
-
-Show the generated journey content and present choices:
-"I've mapped out the user journeys based on our conversation. Each journey reveals different capabilities needed for {{project_name}}.
-
-**Here's what I'll add to the document:**
-
-[Show the complete markdown content from step 6]
-
-**What would you like to do?**
-[A] Advanced Elicitation - Let's dive deeper into these user journeys
-[P] Party Mode - Bring different perspectives to ensure we have all journeys
-[C] Continue - Save this and move to Domain Requirements (Step 5 of 11)"
-
-### 8. Handle Menu Selection
-
-#### If 'A' (Advanced Elicitation):
-
-- Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/advanced-elicitation/workflow.xml with the current journey content
-- Process the enhanced journey insights that come back
-- Ask user: "Accept these improvements to the user journeys? (y/n)"
-- If yes: Update content with improvements, then return to A/P/C menu
-- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
-
-#### If 'P' (Party Mode):
-
-- Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md with the current journeys
-- Process the collaborative journey improvements and additions
-- Ask user: "Accept these changes to the user journeys? (y/n)"
-- If yes: Update content with improvements, 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 `{outputFile}`
-- Update frontmatter: add this step name to the end of the steps completed array
-- Load `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/prd/steps/step-05-domain.md` (or determine if step is optional based on domain complexity)
-
-## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
-
-When user selects 'C', append the content directly to the document using the structure from step 6.
-
-## SUCCESS METRICS:
-
-✅ Existing personas from product briefs leveraged when available
-✅ All user types identified (not just primary users)
-✅ Rich narrative storytelling for each persona and journey
-✅ Complete story-based journey mapping with emotional arc
-✅ Journey requirements clearly connected to capabilities needed
-✅ Minimum 3-4 compelling narrative journeys covering different user types
-✅ A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly
-✅ Content properly appended to document when C selected
-
-## FAILURE MODES:
-
-❌ Ignoring existing personas from product briefs
-❌ Only mapping primary user journeys and missing secondary users
-❌ Creating generic journeys without rich persona details and narrative
-❌ Missing emotional storytelling elements that make journeys compelling
-❌ Missing critical decision points and failure scenarios
-❌ Not connecting journeys to required capabilities
-❌ Not having enough journey diversity (admin, support, API, etc.)
-❌ Not presenting A/P/C menu after content generation
-❌ Appending content without user selecting 'C'
-
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
-
-## JOURNEY TYPES TO ENSURE:
-
-**Minimum Coverage:**
-
-1. **Primary User - Success Path**: Core experience journey
-2. **Primary User - Edge Case**: Error recovery, alternative goals
-3. **Admin/Operations User**: Management, configuration, monitoring
-4. **Support/Troubleshooting**: Help, investigation, issue resolution
-5. **API/Integration** (if applicable): Developer/technical user journey
-
-## NEXT STEP:
-
-After user selects 'C' and content is saved to document, load `./step-05-domain.md`.
-
-Remember: Do NOT proceed to step-05 until user explicitly selects 'C' from the A/P/C menu and content is saved!

-# Step 5: Domain-Specific Exploration
-
-**Progress: Step 5 of 11** - Next: Innovation Focus
-
-## 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 PM peers
-- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
-- 💬 FOCUS on domain-specific requirements and compliance needs
-- 🎯 OPTIONAL STEP: Only proceed if complexity_level = "high" from step-02
-- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
-- ⚠️ Present A/P/C menu after generating domain content
-- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Continue)
-- 📖 Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]` 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 develop deeper domain insights
-- **P (Party Mode)**: Bring domain expertise perspectives to explore requirements
-- **C (Continue)**: Save the content to the document and proceed to next step
-
-## PROTOCOL INTEGRATION:
-
-- When 'A' selected: Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/advanced-elicitation/workflow.xml
-- When 'P' selected: Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md
-- PROTOCOLS always return to this step's A/P/C menu
-- User accepts/rejects protocol changes before proceeding
-
-## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
-
-- Current document and frontmatter from previous steps are available
-- Domain complexity from step-02 should be "high" to justify this step
-- Domain-specific CSV data will be loaded in this step
-- Focus on compliance, regulations, and domain-specific constraints
-
-## OPTIONAL STEP CHECK:
-
-Before proceeding with this step, verify:
-
-- Is `complexity_level` from step-02 equal to "high" and/or does the domain have specific regulatory/compliance needs?
-- Would domain exploration significantly impact the product requirements?
-
-If NO to these questions, skip this step and load `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/prd/steps/step-06-innovation.md`.
-
-## YOUR TASK:
-
-Explore domain-specific requirements for complex domains that need specialized compliance, regulatory, or industry-specific considerations.
-
-## DOMAIN EXPLORATION SEQUENCE:
-
-### 1. Load Domain Configuration Data
-
-Load domain-specific configuration for complex domains:
-
-- Load `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/prd/domain-complexity.csv` completely
-- Find the row where `domain` matches the detected domain from step-02
-- Extract these columns:
- - `key_concerns` (semicolon-separated list)
- - `required_knowledge` (domain expertise needed)
- - `web_searches` (suggested research queries)
- - `special_sections` (domain-specific sections to document)
-
-### 2. Present Domain Complexity Context
-
-Start by explaining why this step is needed:
-"Since {{project_name}} is in the {domain} domain with high complexity, we need to explore domain-specific requirements.
-
-**Key Concerns for {domain}:**
-[List the key_concerns from CSV]
-
-This step will help us understand regulatory requirements, compliance needs, and industry-specific constraints that will shape our product."
-
-### 3. Explore Domain-Specific Requirements
-
-For each concern in `key_concerns` from the CSV:
-
-#### Domain Concern Exploration:
-
-- Ask the user about their approach to this concern
-- Discuss implications for the product design and requirements
-- Document specific requirements, constraints, and compliance needs
-
-**Example for Healthcare Domain:**
-If key_concerns = "FDA approval;Clinical validation;HIPAA compliance;Patient safety;Medical device classification;Liability"
-
-Ask about each:
-
-- "Will this product require FDA approval? What classification?"
-- "How will you validate clinical accuracy and safety?"
-- "What HIPAA compliance measures are needed?"
-- "What patient safety protocols must be in place?"
-- "What liability considerations affect the design?"
-
-### 4. Synthesize Domain Requirements
-
-Based on the conversation, synthesize domain requirements that will shape everything:
-
-#### Categories to Document:
-
-- **Regulatory requirements** (from key_concerns)
-- **Compliance needs** (from key_concerns)
-- **Industry standards** (from required_knowledge)
-- **Safety/risk factors** (from key_concerns)
-- **Required validations** (from key_concerns)
-- **Special expertise needed** (from required_knowledge)
-
-Explain how these inform:
-
-- What features are mandatory
-- What NFRs are critical
-- How to sequence development
-- What validation is required
-
-### 5. Generate Domain-Specific Content
-
-Prepare the content to append to the document:
-
-#### Content Structure:
-
-When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
-
-```markdown
-## Domain-Specific Requirements
-
-### [Domain Name] Compliance & Regulatory Overview
-
-[Domain context summary based on conversation]
-
-### Key Domain Concerns
-
-[Key concerns addressed based on conversation]
-
-### Compliance Requirements
-
-[Compliance requirements based on conversation]
-
-### Industry Standards & Best Practices
-
-[Industry standards based on conversation]
-
-### Required Expertise & Validation
-
-[Required knowledge and validation based on conversation]
-
-### Implementation Considerations
-
-[Implementation implications based on conversation]
-```
-
-### 6. Handle Special Sections
-
-Parse `special_sections` list from the matched CSV row. For each section name, generate corresponding subsections:
-
-**Example mappings from CSV:**
-
-- "clinical_requirements" → Add clinical validation requirements
-- "regulatory_pathway" → Document approval pathway timeline
-- "safety_measures" → Specify safety protocols and monitoring
-- "compliance_matrix" → Create compliance tracking matrix
-
-### 7. Present Content and Menu
-
-Show the generated domain content and present choices:
-"I've documented the {domain}-specific requirements that will shape {{project_name}}. These constraints are critical for success in this complex domain.
-
-**Here's what I'll add to the document:**
-
-[Show the complete markdown content from step 6]
-
-**What would you like to do?**
-[A] Advanced Elicitation - Let's dive deeper into these domain requirements
-[P] Party Mode - Bring domain expertise perspectives to validate requirements
-[C] Continue - Save this and move to Innovation Focus (Step 6 of 11)"
-
-### 8. Handle Menu Selection
-
-#### If 'A' (Advanced Elicitation):
-
-- Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/advanced-elicitation/workflow.xml with the current domain content
-- Process the enhanced domain insights that come back
-- Ask user: "Accept these domain requirement improvements? (y/n)"
-- If yes: Update content with improvements, then return to A/P/C menu
-- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
-
-#### If 'P' (Party Mode):
-
-- Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md with the current domain requirements
-- Process the collaborative domain expertise and validation
-- Ask user: "Accept these changes to domain requirements? (y/n)"
-- If yes: Update content with improvements, then return to A/P/C menu
-- If no: Keep original content, then return to A/P/C menu
-
-#### If 'C' (Continue):
-
-- Append the content to `{outputFile}`
-- Update frontmatter: add this step name to the end of the steps completed array
-- Load `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/prd/steps/step-06-innovation.md`
-
-## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
-
-When user selects 'C', append the content directly to the document using the structure from step 6.
-
-## SUCCESS METRICS:
-
-✅ Domain complexity properly validated as high before proceeding
-✅ All key concerns from CSV explored with user input
-✅ Compliance requirements clearly documented
-✅ Domain expertise needs identified and documented
-✅ Special sections generated per CSV configuration
-✅ A/P/C menu presented and handled correctly
-✅ Content properly appended to document when C selected
-
-## FAILURE MODES:
-
-❌ Proceeding with domain exploration when complexity is not high
-❌ Not loading or using CSV domain configuration properly
-❌ Missing critical domain concerns from the key_concerns list
-❌ Not connecting domain requirements to product implications
-❌ Generating generic content without domain-specific details
-❌ Not presenting A/P/C menu after content generation
-❌ Appending content without user selecting 'C'
-
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
-
-## SKIP CONDITIONS:
-
-Skip this step and load `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/prd/steps/step-06-innovation.md` if:
-
-- `complexity_level` from step-02 is not "high"
-- Domain has no specific regulatory/compliance requirements
-- User confirms domain exploration is not needed
-
-## NEXT STEP:
-
-After user selects 'C' and content is saved to document, load `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/prd/steps/step-06-innovation.md`.
-
-Remember: Do NOT proceed to step-06 until user explicitly selects 'C' from the A/P/C menu and content is saved!

-
-## YOUR TASK:
-
-Complete the PRD workflow, update status files, and suggest next steps for the project.
-
-## WORKFLOW COMPLETION SEQUENCE:
-
-### 1. Announce Workflow Completion
-
-Inform user that the PRD is complete:
-"🎉 **PRD Complete, {{user_name}}!**
-
-I've successfully collaborated with you to create a comprehensive Product Requirements Document for {{project_name}}.
-
-**What we've accomplished:**
-
-- ✅ Executive Summary with vision and product differentiator
-- ✅ Success Criteria with measurable outcomes and scope definition
-- ✅ User Journeys covering all interaction patterns
-- ✅ Domain-specific requirements (if applicable)
-- ✅ Innovation analysis (if applicable)
-- ✅ Project-type specific technical requirements
-- ✅ Comprehensive Functional Requirements (capability contract)
-- ✅ Non-Functional Requirements for quality attributes
-
-**The complete PRD is now available at:** `{outputFile}`
-
-This document is now ready to guide UX design, technical architecture, and development planning."
-
-### 2. Workflow Status Update
-
-Update the main workflow status file if there is one:
-
-- Load `{status_file}` from workflow configuration (if exists)
-- Update workflow_status["prd"] = "{default_output_file}"
-- Save file, preserving all comments and structure
-- Mark current timestamp as completion time
-
-### 3. Suggest Next Steps
-
-Provide guidance on logical next workflows:
-
-**Typical Next Workflows:**
-
-**Immediate Next Steps:**
-
-1. `workflow create-ux-design` - UX Design (if UI exists)
- - User journey insights from step-04 will inform interaction design
- - Functional requirements from step-09 define design scope
-
-2. `workflow create-architecture` - Technical architecture
- - Project-type requirements from step-07 guide technical decisions
- - Non-functional requirements from step-10 inform architecture choices
-
-3. `workflow create-epics-and-stories` - Epic breakdown
- - Functional requirements from step-09 become epics and stories
- - Scope definition from step-03 guides sprint planning
-
-**Strategic Considerations:**
-
-- UX design and architecture can happen in parallel
-- Epics/stories are richer when created after UX/architecture
-
-**What would be most valuable to tackle next?**
-
-### 4. Document Quality Check
-
-Perform final validation of the PRD:
-
-**Completeness Check:**
-
-- Does the executive summary clearly communicate the vision?
-- Are success criteria specific and measurable?
-- Do user journeys cover all major user types?
-- Are functional requirements comprehensive and testable?
-- Are non-functional requirements relevant and specific?
-
-**Consistency Check:**
-
-- Do all sections align with the product differentiator?
-- Is scope consistent across all sections?
-- Are requirements traceable to user needs and success criteria?
-
-### 5. Final Completion Confirmation
-
-- Confirm completion with user and summarize what you have done.
-- Update frontmatter: add this final step name to the end of the steps completed array.
-
-## SUCCESS METRICS:
-
-✅ PRD document contains all required sections
-✅ All collaborative content properly saved to document
-✅ Workflow status file updated with completion information
-✅ Clear next step guidance provided to user

+### File Size Statistics
+
+- **Total Files**: 32 markdown files
+- **✅ Good (<200 lines)**: 6 files (18.8%)
+- **⚠️ Approaching limit (200-250)**: 23 files (71.9%)
+- **❌ Exceeds limit (>250)**: 3 files (9.4%)
+- **Average lines per file**: 213.3 lines
+
+### ⚠️ Recommendations
+
+1. **Files Exceeding 250-line limit**:
+ - `step-v-09-project-type-validation.md` (263 lines) - Consider splitting into sub-steps
+ - `step-v-11-holistic-quality-validation.md` (264 lines) - Consider splitting into sub-steps
+ - `step-e-03-edit.md` (253 lines) - Consider splitting into sub-steps
+
+2. **Files Approaching Limit**:
+ - Many files are in the 200-250 line range
+ - Monitor these files as further additions may push them over the limit
+ - Consider proactive refactoring where appropriate
+
+---
+
+## 2. Frontmatter Structure Validation
+
+### Files Checked: 29 total files
+
+**✅ Overall Status:** ALL VALID - One Issue Fixed
+
+#### Main Workflow (workflow.md)
+**Required Fields Present:**
+- ✅ `name`: "prd"
+- ✅ `description`: "PRD tri-modal workflow"
+- ✅ `nextStep`: "./steps-c/step-01-init.md"
+- ✅ `validateWorkflow`: "./steps-v/step-v-01-discovery.md"
+- ✅ `editWorkflow`: "./steps-e/step-e-01-discovery.md" (FIXED - was assess-workflow.md)
+
+#### Create Steps (steps-c)
+- ✅ All 13 files have proper name, description, nextStepFile
+- ✅ Proper sequencing from step-01 through step-12
+- ✅ Consistent output file references
+
+#### Validation Steps (steps-v)
+- ✅ All 13 files have complete frontmatter
+- ✅ Proper sequential chain maintained
+- ✅ No broken internal references
+
+#### Edit Steps (steps-e)
+- ✅ All files have required fields
+- ✅ Proper routing with altStepFile references
+
+### ✅ All Issues Resolved
+
+**1. Broken Edit Workflow Reference:**
+```yaml
+# Current (INCORRECT):
+editWorkflow: './steps-e/step-e-01-assess-workflow.md'
+
+# Should be:
+editWorkflow: './steps-e/step-e-01-discovery.md'
+```
+
+**2. Step Numbering Gap:**
+- Original `step-11-complete.md` was deleted
+- Sequence now: step-10 → step-11-polish → step-12-complete
+- Creates confusion in step numbering
+
+### ✅ YAML Syntax
+- No YAML syntax errors detected
+- All frontmatter properly formatted
+- Consistent structure across files
+
+### Status
+✅ **ALL ISSUES RESOLVED** - Only cosmetic improvements remain:
+
+1. **✅ FIXED**: Edit workflow path corrected in workflow.md
+2. **⚠️ OPTIONAL**: Address step numbering gap for clarity
+3. **⚠️ OPTIONAL**: Rename step-01b-continue.md to step-01a-continue.md for consistency
+
+---
+
+## 3. Step File Content Validation
+
+### Content Quality Assessment: 4.5/5 - EXCELLENT
+
+#### Files Reviewed: 10 representative files across all modes
+
+#### ✅ Strengths
+
+**1. Comprehensive Structure:**
+- Clear step goal sections in all files
+- Detailed mandatory execution rules
+- Well-defined execution protocols
+- Context boundaries clearly specified
+- Mandatory sequence with numbered steps
+- System success/failure metrics present
+
+**2. BMAD Compliance:**
+- ✅ JIT loading references consistently mentioned
+- ✅ State tracking requirements documented
+- ✅ Append-only building instructions present
+- ✅ Critical rules properly emphasized with emojis
+- ✅ Sequential enforcement clearly stated
+
+**3. Instructional Quality:**
+- Clear, unambiguous instructions
+- Proper menu handling rules (where applicable)
+- Excellent continuation checks
+- Strong role definition for each mode
+
+**4. Role Clarity:**
+- Create Mode: "Product-focused PM facilitator"
+- Validate Mode: "Validation Architect and Quality Assurance Specialist"
+- Edit Mode: "PRD improvement specialist"
+
+#### ⚠️ Minor Improvement Opportunities
+
+**1. Header Formatting:**
+- Some inconsistency in header level usage across files
+- Recommend standardizing H2/H3 usage
+
+**2. Edit Mode Completeness:**
+- Edit mode has fewer steps (5 vs 12/13 for other modes)
+- Documentation marks it as "Future" but implementation exists
+
+#### Recommendations
+1. **LOW PRIORITY**: Standardize header formatting across all step files
+2. **LOW PRIORITY**: Complete remaining edit mode steps for parity
+3. **MAINTAIN**: Current excellent quality standards
+
+---
+
+## 4. Documentation Validation
+
+### Documentation Completeness: ✅ COMPREHENSIVE
+
+#### Main Components Present
+- ✅ Workflow Definition (workflow.md)
+- ✅ Purpose Document (data/prd-purpose.md)
+- ✅ Template (templates/prd-template.md)
+- ✅ Three Mode Implementations (Create: 12, Validate: 13, Edit: 5 steps)
+
+#### Clarity Assessment: ✅ EXCELLENT
+
+**Strong Points:**
+1. Clear mode determination (commands, flags, menu selection)
+2. Detailed routing instructions for each mode
+3. Comprehensive workflow architecture explanation
+4. Well-defined critical rules with visual emphasis
+5. Professional presentation with consistent formatting
+
+#### ⚠️ Minor Issues Found
+
+**1. Step Count Mismatch:**
+- workflow.md mentions "11 steps" for Create mode
+- Actually implements 12 steps
+- Could confuse users
+
+**2. Edit Mode Status:**
+- workflow.md calls Edit mode "Future"
+- Edit mode steps are actually implemented
+- Should reflect current status
+
+**3. Template Completeness:**
+- PRD template is minimal (10 lines)
+- Could benefit from section placeholders
+
+**4. Missing README:**
+- No onboarding documentation for new users
+- Not critical but would be helpful
+
+#### Recommendations
+
+**HIGH PRIORITY:**
+1. Fix step count reference to match implementation (12 steps)
+2. Update edit mode documentation to "Implemented"
+
+**MEDIUM PRIORITY:**
+3. Enhance PRD template with section structure
+4. Add quick-start README for new users
+
+**LOW PRIORITY:**
+5. Add troubleshooting section
+6. Document external dependencies (domain-complexity.csv, project-types.csv)
+
+---
+
+## 5. Integration & Compatibility Validation
+
+### Integration Status: 85% Ready
+
+#### ✅ Successfully Integrated Components
+
+**1. Agent Menu Registration:**
+- ✅ Registered in PM agent menu
+- ✅ Trigger: `PR` or fuzzy match on `prd`
+- ✅ Command: `/bmad:bmm:workflows:create-prd`
+- ✅ Proper workflow path configuration
+
+**2. External Workflow References:**
+- ✅ Party-mode workflow: Exists at `/src/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md`
+- ✅ Advanced-elicitation task: Exists at `/src/core/workflows/advanced-elicitation/workflow.xml`
+
+**3. Directory Structure:**
+- ✅ Complete step architecture (all 3 modes)
+- ✅ All referenced step files exist
+- ✅ Data files available
+
+#### ✅ Configuration & Installation - WORKING AS DESIGNED
+
+**1. BMM Config Reference:**
+- Path: `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml`
+- **Status:** ✅ Correct installation-time placeholder
+- Resolves to actual config during workflow installation
+- **Note:** This is expected behavior, not an issue
+
+**2. Planning Artifacts Folder:**
+- Reference: `{planning_artifacts}/prd.md`
+- **Status:** ✅ Correct installation-time placeholder
+- Created/resolved during workflow installation
+- **Note:** This is expected behavior, not an issue
+
+**3. Edit Mode Implementation:**
+- Current: 5 steps (Discovery, Legacy Conversion branch, Review, Edit, Complete)
+- **Status:** ✅ Functionally complete
+- Edit mode is inherently simpler than create mode (targeted improvements vs full creation)
+- Uses subprocesses for complex operations
+- Validation integration ensures quality
+- **Note:** Edit workflow is complete and well-designed
+
+#### Configuration Analysis
+
+**Placeholder Usage:**
+- `{project-root}`: ✅ Properly used
+- `{planning_artifacts}`: ⚠️ Referenced but folder missing
+- `{nextStep}`, `{validateWorkflow}`, etc: ✅ Properly resolved
+
+#### Recommendations
+
+**✅ ALL CRITICAL ISSUES RESOLVED:**
+
+The only true critical issue (edit workflow path) has been fixed. All other items flagged as "critical" were actually working as designed (installation-time placeholders).
+
+**LOW PRIORITY:**
+3. Add CLI command registration for standalone execution (optional enhancement)
+4. Consider adding workflow to additional agent menus (UX designer, architect)
+5. Create standalone execution documentation (nice-to-have)
+6. Address step numbering gap if desired (cosmetic)
+
+---
+
+## 6. Executive Summary & Overall Assessment
+
+### Overall Validation Status: ✅ PRODUCTION-READY
+
+#### Validation Scores by Category
+
+| Category | Status | Score | Notes |
+|----------|--------|-------|-------|

+| **BMAD Compliance** | ✅ EXCELLENT | 9.5/10 | Strong adherence to standards |
+
+**Overall Score: 9.2/10 - EXCELLENT**
+
+#### ✅ Critical Action Items - ALL RESOLVED
+
+**ONLY ONE TRUE CRITICAL ISSUE EXISTED - NOW FIXED:**
+
+1. **✅ FIXED: Edit Workflow Path**
+ - File: `workflow.md` ✓ RESOLVED
+ - Changed from: `./steps-e/step-e-01-assess-workflow.md`
+ - Changed to: `./steps-e/step-e-01-discovery.md`
+
+**Items incorrectly flagged as critical (actually working as designed):**
+- ✅ Configuration path references (installation-time placeholders)
+- ✅ Planning artifacts folder (installation-time placeholder)
+
+#### High Priority Improvements
+
+2. **⚠️ Split Large Step Files** (>250 lines):
+ - `step-v-09-project-type-validation.md` (263 lines)
+ - `step-v-11-holistic-quality-validation.md` (264 lines)
+ - `step-e-03-edit.md` (253 lines)
+
+3. **⚠️ Update Documentation Inconsistencies**:
+ - Fix step count reference (11 → 12 steps in create mode)
+ - Update edit mode status (Future → Implemented)
+
+#### Medium Priority Enhancements
+
+4. **Enhance PRD Template** (currently minimal at 10 lines)
+5. **Add quick-start README** for new users
+6. **Address step numbering gap** (cosmetic - missing step-11-complete.md)
+
+#### Edit Mode Status - FUNCTIONALLY COMPLETE ✅
+
+The edit workflow is **complete and well-designed** with 5 steps:
+- Discovery → Legacy Conversion (branch) → Review → Edit → Complete
+- Edit mode is inherently simpler than create mode (targeted improvements vs full creation)
+- Uses subprocesses for complex operations
+- Integrates with validation workflow
+
+**No additional steps needed.**
+
+### Key Strengths
+
+✅ **Excellent step file quality** - Clear, well-structured instructions
+✅ **Comprehensive validation system** - 13 dedicated validation steps
+✅ **Strong BMAD compliance** - JIT loading, state tracking, sequential enforcement
+✅ **Tri-modal architecture** - Create, Validate, Edit all implemented
+✅ **Professional documentation** - Clear, consistent, well-presented
+✅ **Proper agent integration** - Registered in PM agent menu
+
+### Areas for Improvement (Optional)
+
+⚠️ **File size management** - Many files approaching limits (maintainability consideration)
+⚠️ **Documentation consistency** - Minor discrepancies in counts/status (cosmetic)
+✅ **Edit mode** - Functionally complete, no additional steps needed
+
+### Conclusion
+
+The PRD workflow is **well-designed and fully compliant** with BMAD standards. The step file architecture is exemplary, the content quality is excellent, and the documentation is comprehensive. The only critical issue (edit workflow path) has been **resolved**, and all other flagged items were actually working as designed (installation-time placeholders).
+
+**Current Status: ✅ PRODUCTION-READY**
+
+**Recommended Optional Enhancements:**
+1. Split the 3 files exceeding 250-line limit (maintainability)
+2. Update documentation inconsistencies (step counts, edit mode status)
+3. Enhance PRD template and add quick-start README (user experience)
+
+The PRD workflow is ready for production use and fully compliant with BMAD workflow standards.

## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
- ✅ YOU ARE A CREATIVE FACILITATOR, engaging in genuine back-and-forth coaching
+- 🎯 AIM FOR 100+ IDEAS before suggesting organization - quantity unlocks quality (quality must grow as we progress)
+- 🔄 DEFAULT IS TO KEEP EXPLORING - only move to organization when user explicitly requests it
+- 🧠 **THOUGHT BEFORE INK (CoT):** Before generating each idea, you must internally reason: "What domain haven't we explored yet? What would make this idea surprising or 'uncomfortable' for the user?"
+- 🛡️ **ANTI-BIAS DOMAIN PIVOT:** Every 10 ideas, review existing themes and consciously pivot to an orthogonal domain (e.g., UX -> Business -> Physics -> Social Impact).
+- 🌡️ **SIMULATED TEMPERATURE:** Act as if your creativity is set to 0.85 - take wilder leaps and suggest "provocative" concepts.
+- ⏱️ Spend minimum 30-45 minutes in active ideation before offering to conclude
- 🎯 EXECUTE ONE TECHNIQUE ELEMENT AT A TIME with interactive exploration
- 📋 RESPOND DYNAMICALLY to user insights and build upon their ideas
- 🔍 ADAPT FACILITATION based on user engagement and emerging directions
- 💬 CREATE TRUE COLLABORATION, not question-answer sequences
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the `communication_language`
+## IDEA FORMAT TEMPLATE:
+
+Every idea you capture should follow this structure:
+**[Category #X]**: [Mnemonic Title]
+_Concept_: [2-3 sentence description]
+_Novelty_: [What makes this different from obvious solutions]

## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Present one technique element at a time for deep exploration
- ⚠️ Ask "Continue with current technique?" before moving to next technique
-- 💾 Document insights and ideas as they emerge organically

**Your Role:** You are a brainstorming facilitator and creative thinking guide. You bring structured creativity techniques, facilitation expertise, and an understanding of how to guide users through effective ideation processes that generate innovative ideas and breakthrough solutions. During this entire workflow it is critical that you speak to the user in the config loaded `communication_language`.
+**Critical Mindset:** Your job is to keep the user in generative exploration mode as long as possible. The best brainstorming sessions feel slightly uncomfortable - like you've pushed past the obvious ideas into truly novel territory. Resist the urge to organize or conclude. When in doubt, ask another question, try another technique, or dig deeper into a promising thread.
+
+**Anti-Bias Protocol:** LLMs naturally drift toward semantic clustering (sequential bias). To combat this, you MUST consciously shift your creative domain every 10 ideas. If you've been focusing on technical aspects, pivot to user experience, then to business viability, then to edge cases or "black swan" events. Force yourself into orthogonal categories to maintain true divergence.
+
+**Quantity Goal:** Aim for 100+ ideas before any organization. The first 20 ideas are usually obvious - the magic happens in ideas 50-100.

+- `keep-notes/app/(main)/settings/profile/profile-form-new.tsx`
+- `keep-notes/app/(main)/settings/appearance/page-new.tsx`
+
+## 🚧 Étapes Restantes (Comment les Implémenter avec BMAD)
+
+Voici les étapes restantes pour compléter l'implémentation avec la méthode BMAD :
+
+### Étape 1: Régénérer le Client Prisma
+
+**Problème:** Le build échoue avec "EPERM: operation not permitted" sur `query_engine-windows.dll.node`
+
+**Solution BMAD:**
+1. Arrêter tous les processus Node.js/Next.js en cours
+2. Supprimer le dossier `prisma/client-generated`
+3. Régénérer le client Prisma
+
+```bash
+# Dans le dossier keep-notes
+# Arrêter tous les processus (Ctrl+C dans les terminaux)
+
+# Supprimer le dossier client-generated
+rm -rf prisma/client-generated
+# Ou sur Windows: rmdir /s /q prisma\client-generated
+
+# Régénérer le client Prisma
+npx prisma generate
+
+# Ou utiliser npm
+npm run prisma:generate
+```
+
+### Étape 2: Appliquer la Migration de Base de Données
+
+**Action:** Exécuter la migration SQL pour ajouter les nouveaux champs à la table User
+
+```bash
+# Dans le dossier keep-notes
+npx prisma migrate deploy
+
+# Ou appliquer manuellement la migration
+# Ouvrir: prisma/migrations/20260117000000_add_user_preferences_fields/migration.sql
+# Exécuter le SQL sur la base de données
+```
+
+**Contenu de la migration:**
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE "User" ADD COLUMN "emailNotifications" BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;
+ALTER TABLE "User" ADD COLUMN "anonymousAnalytics" BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 1;
+```
+
+### Étape 3: Déployer les Pages de Paramètres (Méthode Safe Replace)
+
+#### 3.1: Déployer General Settings Page
+
+```bash
+# Dans keep-notes/app/(main)/settings/general
+# Backup du fichier actuel
+mv page.tsx page-old.tsx
+
+# Copier le nouveau fichier
+cp page-new.tsx page.tsx
+
+# Vérifier le build
+cd ../../../..
+npm run build
+```
+
+**Vérifications:**
+- [ ] La page se charge correctement à `/settings/general`
+- [ ] Les sections (Language, Notifications, Privacy) s'affichent
+- [ ] Le toggle "Email Notifications" fonctionne
+- [ ] Le toggle "Anonymous Analytics" fonctionne
+- [ ] Les paramètres se sauvegardent dans la base de données
+
+#### 3.2: Déployer Profile Settings Form
+
+```bash
+# Dans keep-notes/app/(main)/settings/profile
+# Backup du fichier actuel
+mv profile-form.tsx profile-form-old.tsx
+
+# Copier le nouveau fichier
+cp profile-form-new.tsx profile-form.tsx
+
+# Vérifier le build
+cd ../../../..
+npm run build
+```
+
+**Vérifications:**
+- [ ] Le formulaire de profil se charge correctement
+- [ ] La langue peut être changée
+- [ ] La taille de police peut être changée
+- [ ] Le toggle "Show Recent Notes" fonctionne
+- [ ] Les paramètres se sauvegardent correctement
+
+#### 3.3: Déployer Appearance Settings Page
+
+```bash
+# Dans keep-notes/app/(main)/settings/appearance
+# Backup du fichier actuel
+mv page.tsx page-old.tsx
+
+# Créer le nouveau fichier avec persistance du thème
+# (Utiliser le contenu documenté dans cette section)
+
+# Vérifier le build
+cd ../../../..
+npm run build
+```
+
+**Contenu à créer (page.tsx):**
+```typescript
+'use client'
+
+import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
+import { toast } from 'sonner'
+import { SettingsNav, SettingsSection, SettingSelect } from '@/components/settings'
+import { useLanguage } from '@/lib/i18n'
+import { updateTheme } from '@/app/actions/profile'
+
+export default function AppearanceSettingsPage() {
+ const { t } = useLanguage()
+ const [theme, setTheme] = useState('auto')
+
+ // Load theme from database/localStorage on mount
+ useEffect(() => {
+ const loadTheme = async () => {
+ try {
+ const result = await updateTheme(localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'auto')
+ if (!result?.error) {
+ setTheme(localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'auto')
+ }
+ } catch (error) {
+ console.error('Failed to load theme:', error)
+ }
+ }
+
+ loadTheme()
+ }, [])
+
+ const handleThemeChange = async (value: string) => {
+ setTheme(value)
+ localStorage.setItem('theme', value)
+ applyTheme(value)
+
+ try {
+ const result = await updateTheme(value)
+ if (result?.error) {
+ toast.error(t('appearance.themeUpdateFailed'))
+ } else {
+ toast.success(t('appearance.themeUpdateSuccess'))
+ }
+ } catch (error) {
+ toast.error(error?.message || t('appearance.themeUpdateFailed'))
+ }
+ }
+
+ const applyTheme = (themeValue: string) => {
+ const root = document.documentElement
+ if (themeValue === 'dark') {
+ root.classList.add('dark')
+ root.classList.remove('light')
+ } else if (themeValue === 'light') {
+ root.classList.add('light')
+ root.classList.remove('dark')
+ } else {
+ // Auto: use system preference
+ const prefersDark = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches
+ if (prefersDark) {
+ root.classList.add('dark')
+ root.classList.remove('light')
+ } else {
+ root.classList.add('light')
+ root.classList.remove('dark')
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+ return (
+
+ )
+}
+```
+
+**Vérifications:**
+- [ ] La page se charge correctement à `/settings/appearance`
+- [ ] Le thème se charge depuis localStorage au démarrage
+- [ ] Le changement de thème fonctionne immédiatement
+- [ ] Le thème se sauvegarde dans la base de données
+- [ ] Le thème persiste après rechargement de la page
+- [ ] Le thème persiste après fermeture/ouverture du navigateur
+
+### Étape 4: Mettre à Jour le Sprint Status
+
+Une fois toutes les fonctionnalités implémentées et testées, mettre à jour le fichier de statut:
+
+```bash
+# Ouvrir le fichier
+_bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/sprint-status.yaml
+
+# Mettre à jour le statut de la story 11-2
+11-2-improve-settings-ux:
+ status: done # Passer de "in-progress" à "done"
+ completion: 100% # Passer de 60% à 100%
+```
+
+## 📊 Structure BMAD pour Chaque Étape

+
+**Prochaines Actions Prioritaires:**
+1. Résoudre le problème Prisma (permissions)
+2. Régénérer le client Prisma
+3. Appliquer la migration de base de données
+4. Déployer les pages de paramètres
+5. Vérifier toutes les fonctionnalités
+6. Mettre à jour le statut à "done"
+
+La méthode BMAD a été appliquée pour documenter chaque étape avec des critères d'acceptation, des notes d'implémentation et des exigences de tests. Chaque story peut être exécutée indépendamment en suivant le format standard BMAD.
