 * Update a subtask by appending additional timestamped information using the unified AI service.
 * @param {string} tasksPath - Path to the tasks.json file
 * @param {string} subtaskId - ID of the subtask to update in format "parentId.subtaskId"
 * @param {string} prompt - Prompt for generating additional information
 * @param {boolean} [useResearch=false] - Whether to use the research AI role.
 * @param {Object} context - Context object containing session and mcpLog.
 * @param {Object} [context.session] - Session object from MCP server.
 * @param {Object} [context.mcpLog] - MCP logger object.
 * @param {string} [context.projectRoot] - Project root path (needed for AI service key resolution).
 * @param {string} [outputFormat='text'] - Output format ('text' or 'json'). Automatically 'json' if mcpLog is present.
 * @returns {Promise<Object|null>} - The updated subtask or null if update failed.

2. Your string response should NOT include any of the subtask's original details, unless the user's request explicitly asks to rephrase, summarize, or directly modify existing text.
3. Do NOT include any timestamps, XML-like tags, markdown, or any other special formatting in your string response.
4. Ensure the generated text is concise yet complete for the update based on the user request. Avoid conversational fillers or explanations about what you are doing (e.g., do not start with "Okay, here's the update...").`;
