Describe the bug
The create-story workflow (referenced as Step 6 in instructions.xml) attempts to invoke a validation task using _bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml, but this file is missing from the _bmad/core/tasks/ directory. This breaks the automated validation step and prevents the workflow from completing the status update to ready-for-dev automatically. This is on the latest update of V6.
Steps to Reproduce
- Initiate the create-story workflow within the BMad environment.
- Complete steps 1 through 5 of the story creation process.
- Upon reaching Step 6: Update sprint status and finalize, the workflow engine attempts to execute:
Validate against checklist at {installed_path}/checklist.md using _bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml
- The workflow fails because _bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml cannot be found.
PR
I am currently investigating whether validate-workflow.xml needs to be restored from a template or if the reference should be updated to point to a consolidated task runner. I will
propose a PR once the correct file content or reference is identified.
Expected behavior
The workflow should successfully load _bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml, which in turn should process the checklist.md against the generated story file to ensure quality before marking the story as ready-for-dev.

Additional context
The file _bmad/bmm/workflows/4-implementation/create-story/checklist.md contains explicit documentation stating that {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml is the
framework responsible for loading and executing the checklist. Similar missing references were found in _bmad/bmm/workflows/excalidraw-diagrams/create-flowchart/instructions.md and
_bmad/bmm/workflows/excalidraw-diagrams/create-diagram/instructions.md. Currently, _bmad/core/tasks/ only contains index-docs.xml, review-adversarial-general.xml, shard-doc.xml, and workflow.xml.
