Summary

  • Fix code fence imbalance in src/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/create-architecture/steps/step-03-starter.md
  • The 4-backtick ````markdown fence at line 214 closed prematurely at line 235, orphaning template content (lines 237-258) outside the fence
  • A stray 3-backtick fence at line 259 opened a code block that was never closed, causing sections 9-13 (menu handling, success metrics, failure modes, next step) to render as a code block

Test plan

  • All existing tests pass (npm test)
  • markdownlint passes
  • Code fence balance verified (one open at 214, one close at 258)

If .rovodev/prompts.yml exists but can’t be parsed, this path resets existingPrompts to [] and then rewrites the manifest, which can silently drop user-defined prompts. Consider failing safe (no overwrite) or otherwise preserving the original file when parsing fails.

This now loads step-02-customer-behavior.md, but the sentence still says it will begin “customer insights analysis,” which looks like a leftover from the previous step name. Consider aligning the wording (or the referenced step) so the next-step guidance is unambiguous.

Incomplete dispatch table: lastStep = 4 and lastStep = 5 entries missing explicit absolute paths.

The PR migrates lastStep = 1, 2, and 3 dispatch entries to absolute paths but stops there. lastStep = 4 and lastStep = 5 are left implicit under "Continue this pattern for all steps" — an instruction that relies on agent inference. This inconsistency breaks deterministic path resolution: an agent parsing this as a lookup table will find no explicit entry for lastStep = 4 (step-05-scope.md) or lastStep = 5 (step-06-complete.md), risking incorrect navigation or fallthrough to the "Workflow already complete" branch.

Add the missing entries:

  • If lastStep = 4 → Load {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/create-product-brief/steps/step-05-scope.md
  • If lastStep = 5 → Load {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/1-analysis/create-product-brief/steps/step-06-complete.md

Wrong help argument: 'Validate PRD' in a Product Brief completion step.

help.md routes to the next workflow based on what just completed (step 5: "Infer what was just completed"). Passing 'Validate PRD' incorrectly tells it that PRD Validation just finished — causing incorrect routing suggestions instead of post-brief next steps like Create PRD. The analogous correct usage is in step-v-13-report-complete.md line 200, where 'Validate PRD' is appropriate because PRD validation actually completed there.

The Product Brief workflow is in the 1-analysis phase; this completion step wrongly references a 2-planning workflow argument, breaking phase sequence routing.

🐛 Proposed fix

Incomplete path migration: line 208 still references the bare filename.

The PR migrates the next-step path at line 182 and line 233, but misses the exact same filename at line 208 in the FAILURE MODES section:

❌ Not routing to step-06-research-synthesis.md

This is a bare filename inconsistent with the absolute paths now used at the two changed lines. A reference validator run in CI (mentioned in the PR objectives) may not flag this because it's in a prose failure-mode description rather than a load directive, but it leaves stale guidance for anyone maintaining this file.

Stale example: line 83 still shows the pre-migration relative nextStepFile value.

This PR updated step-03-success.md's nextStepFile frontmatter to an absolute {project-root} path, but the inline example at line 83 was not updated to match. An agent following this logic would expect to find './step-04-journeys.md' in the frontmatter and instead find the absolute path — a contradiction that undermines confidence in the documented example.

Same dual-source-of-truth issue as step-04-journeys.md: frontmatter nextStepFile (line 6) and hard-coded path in the NEXT STEP note (line 224) encode the same target path redundantly.

domainComplexityCSV still holds a relative path — incomplete migration.

Line 6 was correctly migrated, but domainComplexityCSV: '../data/domain-complexity.csv' on Line 8 was left behind. Step sequence item 2 (Line 95) instructs the agent to "Lookup data in {domainComplexityCSV}". If this path does not resolve, the domain complexity lookup fails entirely — including the logic that determines whether to skip this optional step, which silently breaks the entire step flow.

Fix incorrect file path and verify argument mechanism in help.md integration.

Two critical issues:

  1. Wrong file path: Both step-14-complete.md and step-08-complete.md reference _bmad/core/tasks/help.md, but the actual file is at src/core/tasks/help.md. This will cause a "file not found" error when users follow the instructions.

  2. Incorrect argument dispatch assumption: The review assumes help.md dispatches on argument strings (Create UX, Create Architecture), but help.md actually uses a CSV catalog (_bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv) and infers workflow completion from conversation context, not simple string matching. The arguments as described may not produce the intended routing behavior.

Update both steps to use the correct file path and verify that the argument values align with how help.md actually detects and routes to workflows (via CSV catalog entries, not direct argument dispatch).

at line 85, Both step-14-complete.md and step-08-complete.md reference the wrong
help script path and assume help.md dispatches by literal argument strings;
update both files to point to the actual help script at src/core/tasks/help.md
and then verify/adjust the suggested argument values to match the keys used in
the CSV catalog (_bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv) or the conversation-context
detection used by help.md (rather than relying on direct string dispatch like
"Create UX"/"Create Architecture"); ensure the step text either references the
correct catalog entry names or instructs the user to follow the catalog-based
invocation pattern that help.md expects.

find command has three silent coverage gaps.

  1. .yml files are missed. Only -name "*.yaml" is specified. Any YAML file with a .yml extension (e.g., platform-codes.yaml's siblings or future additions) is never audited.
  2. grep -v "4-implementation" is a substring match, not a path-component match. A file at src/bmm/workflows/notes-on-4-implementation-trade-offs.md would be incorrectly excluded.
  3. src/utility may not exist; find will emit a No such file or directory error to stderr, which can confuse CI output even though the rest of the results are valid.
🔧 Proposed fix
-   find src/bmm src/core src/utility -type f \( -name "*.md" -o -name "*.yaml" \) | grep -v "4-implementation" | sort
+   find src/bmm src/core $([ -d src/utility ] && echo src/utility) \
+     -type f \( -name "*.md" -o -name "*.yaml" -o -name "*.yml" \) \
+     | grep -v "/4-implementation/" | sort

In `@tools/audit-file-refs.md` at line 29, The find command misses .yml files,
does a substring grep to exclude "4-implementation", and emits errors if
src/utility is absent; update the command to include the missing pattern,
exclude the 4-implementation directory as a path component, and suppress
non-fatal missing-directory errors (e.g., add an additional -name "*.yml" test
to the find expression, replace the grep -v "4-implementation" filter with a
find -not -path "*/4-implementation/*" style exclusion, and redirect find's
stderr to /dev/null or check directory existence before invoking find so missing
src/utility doesn't print an error).

VIOLATION_TYPE is never defined — subagents will invent inconsistent values, breaking the grouping step.

The output format at line 45 requires VIOLATION_TYPE, but nowhere in this document is the set of valid types enumerated. Different subagent instances will independently choose strings like "relative-path", "RELATIVE_PATH", "Relative Path", "./relative", etc. Step 6 then instructs to "Group findings by violation type" — with no canonical type list, this grouping will be arbitrary and non-reproducible across runs.

🔧 Proposed fix — add a canonical type list
+> Use exactly these VIOLATION_TYPE values (no others):
+> - `RELATIVE_PATH` — for `./` or `../` references
+> - `BARE_FILENAME` — for bare `step-NN.md` with no prefix
+> - `BARE_STEPS_PATH` — for `steps/step-NN.md` without `{project-root}/_bmad/`
+> - `BARE_BMAD_PATH` — for `_bmad/...` without `{project-root}/`
+> - `ABSOLUTE_SYSTEM_PATH` — for `/Users/...`, `C:\...` etc.

In `@tools/audit-file-refs.md` around lines 44 - 46, The document requires a
canonical set of VIOLATION_TYPE values but none is defined, causing inconsistent
outputs; add a clear enumerated list of allowed violation types (e.g.,
RELATIVE_PATH, ABSOLUTE_PATH, MISSING_LICENSE, LARGE_BINARY, SENSITIVE_DATA,
INVALID_EXTENSION) to the audit-file-refs.md and update the output format
example "path/to/file.md:LINE_NUMBER | VIOLATION_TYPE | offending text" plus the
grouping step ("Group findings by violation type") to reference this canonical
list; also add a short sentence instructing subagents to normalize their output
to the exact enum strings (case-sensitive) so grouping is deterministic.
