Story 017 – Kanban Package Installation Evaluation

Status: ✅ COMPLETE
Priority: HIGH
Estimated Effort: [TBD]
Created: 2026-01-18
Last updated: 2026-01-20 (v0.4.17.6+1 – T06 complete: Documentation gaps captured, Story 017 COMPLETE. UKW sync: 2026-01-20)
Version: v0.4.17.6+1
Code: E4S17

Task Checklist​

Overview​

This story evaluates all installation paths for the Kanban framework package (packages/frameworks/kanban/) to ensure each path is documented, reproducible, and RC-ready.

Installation Paths (Draft)​

Primary package installation paths:

  1. GitHub Releases: install_package_from_release.py (framework dependency guide).
  2. Git Submodule: copy framework package, then run installer (install_kanban_framework.py --mode fresh).
  3. CLI Tool (coming soon): ai-dev-kit install kanban@<version> (placeholder path).

Kanban installer modes (scripts README):

  • fresh, migration, update, hybrid, canonical_adoption, auto.
  • Workflow: detect → analyze → select mode → migrate → update refs → validate.

Sources:

  • INSTALL_IN_YOUR_PROJECT.md
  • packages/frameworks/kanban/scripts/README.md
  • packages/frameworks/kanban/README.md

Goal​

Provide a complete installation evaluation with step-by-step verification, gaps, and remediation tasks for RC sign-off.
