refactor(catalog): rename after/before to preceded-by/followed-by (#2360)
* refactor(catalog): rename after/before columns to preceded-by/followed-by The bare prepositions `after` and `before` had no subject anchor, leaving the dependency direction ambiguous: "X has Y in its `after` column" reads plausibly as either "Y comes after X" or "X comes after Y". An LLM catalog consumer just got the direction wrong because of this. `preceded-by` / `followed-by` are passive-voice participles whose grammar locks the subject (the skill in this row) and forces a single reading: "X is preceded by Y" can only mean Y comes first. Rename applied to: - module-help.csv headers (bmm-skills, core-skills) - bmad-help SKILL.md schema doc + descriptions - installer.js mergeModuleHelpCatalogs header string - plugin-resolver.js _buildSynthesizedHelpCsv header string - bmad-manifest.json keys (bmad-product-brief, bmad-prfaq) - distillate-format-reference.md example manifest The separate `required` column continues to carry hard-gate semantics; the renamed columns are pure soft sequencing hints, as already documented in bmad-help. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * style(installer): wrap long header strings per prettier * feat(installer): warn on non-canonical module-help.csv headers mergeModuleHelpCatalogs now compares each per-module file's header against the canonical schema and emits a one-shot prompts.log.warn per module on drift, naming both the expected and actual header. Data continues to load positionally so external modules built against the old after/before schema still install cleanly — the warning is the maintainer signal to rename their columns. Centralize the canonical header in modules/module-help-schema.js so the merger and the synthesizer (PluginResolver._buildSynthesizedHelpCsv) read the same source of truth; future column renames are one edit. Verified by installing all four bmad-org external modules (bmb, cis, gds, tea) — every one ships the legacy after/before header today and now fires an advisory warning while still merging cleanly into _bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv with the canonical column names. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
