* feat(tags): Implement tagged task lists migration system (Part 1/2)
This commit introduces the foundational infrastructure for tagged task lists,
enabling multi-context task management without remote storage to prevent merge conflicts.
CORE ARCHITECTURE:
• Silent migration system transforms tasks.json from old format { "tasks": [...] }
to new tagged format { "master": { "tasks": [...] } }
• Tag resolution layer provides complete backward compatibility - existing code continues to work
• Automatic configuration and state management for seamless user experience
SILENT MIGRATION SYSTEM:
• Automatic detection and migration of legacy tasks.json format
• Complete project migration: tasks.json + config.json + state.json
• Transparent tag resolution returns old format to maintain compatibility
• Zero breaking changes - all existing functionality preserved
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT:
• Added global.defaultTag setting (defaults to 'master')
• New tags section with gitIntegration placeholders for future features
• Automatic config.json migration during first run
• Proper state.json creation with migration tracking
USER EXPERIENCE:
• Clean, one-time FYI notice after migration (no emojis, professional styling)
• Notice appears after 'Suggested Next Steps' and is tracked in state.json
• Silent operation - users unaware migration occurred unless explicitly shown
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
• Enhanced readJSON() with automatic migration detection and processing
• New utility functions: getCurrentTag(), resolveTag(), getTasksForTag(), setTasksForTag()
• Complete migration orchestration via performCompleteTagMigration()
• Robust error handling and fallback mechanisms
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY:
• 100% backward compatibility maintained
• Existing CLI commands and MCP tools continue to work unchanged
• Legacy tasks.json format automatically upgraded on first read
• All existing workflows preserved
TESTING VERIFIED:
• Complete migration from legacy state works correctly
• Config.json properly updated with tagged system settings
• State.json created with correct initial values
• Migration notice system functions as designed
• All existing functionality continues to work normally
Part 2 will implement tag management commands (add-tag, use-tag, list-tags)
and MCP tool updates for full tagged task system functionality.
Related: Task 103 - Implement Tagged Task Lists System for Multi-Context Task Management
* docs: Update documentation and rules for tagged task lists system
- Updated task-structure.md with comprehensive tagged format explanation
- Updated all .cursor/rules/*.mdc files to reflect tagged system
- Completed subtask 103.16: Update Documentation for Tagged Task Lists System
* feat(mcp): Add tagInfo to responses and integrate ContextGatherer
Enhances the MCP server to include 'tagInfo' (currentTag, availableTags) in all tool responses, providing better client-side context.
- Introduces a new 'ContextGatherer' utility to standardize the collection of file, task, and project context for AI-powered commands. This refactors several task-manager modules ('expand-task', 'research', 'update-task', etc.) to use the new utility.
- Fixes an issue in 'get-task' and 'get-tasks' MCP tools where the 'projectRoot' was not being passed correctly, preventing tag information from being included in their responses.
- Adds subtask '103.17' to track the implementation of the task template importing feature.
- Updates documentation ('.cursor/rules', 'docs/') to align with the new tagged task system and context gatherer logic.
* fix: include tagInfo in AI service responses for MCP tools
- Update all core functions that call AI services to extract and return tagInfo
- Update all direct functions to include tagInfo in MCP response data
- Fixes issue where add_task, expand_task, and other AI commands were not including current tag and available tags information
- tagInfo includes currentTag from state.json and availableTags list
- Ensures tagged task lists system information is properly propagated through the full chain: AI service -> core function -> direct function -> MCP client
* fix(move-task): Update move functionality for tagged task system compatibility
- incorporate GitHub commit fixes and resolve readJSON data handling
* feat(tagged-tasks): Complete core tag management system implementation
- Implements comprehensive tagged task lists system for multi-context task management including core tag management functions (Task 103.11), MCP integration updates, and foundational infrastructure for tagged task operations. Features tag CRUD operations, validation, metadata tracking, deep task copying, and full backward compatibility.
* fix(core): Fixed move-task.js writing _rawTaggedData directly, updated writeJSON to filter tag fields, fixed CLI move command missing projectRoot, added ensureTagMetadata utility
* fix(tasks): ensure list tasks triggers silent migration if necessary.
* feat(tags): Complete show and add-task command tag support
- show command: Added --tag flag, fixed projectRoot passing to UI functions
- add-task command: Already had proper tag support and projectRoot handling
- Both commands now work correctly with tagged task lists system
- Migration logic works properly when viewing and adding tasks
- Updated subtask 103.5 with progress on high-priority command fixes
* fix(tags): Clean up rogue created properties and fix taskCount calculation
- Enhanced writeJSON to automatically filter rogue created/description properties from tag objects
- Fixed tags command error by making taskCount calculation dynamic instead of hardcoded
- Cleaned up existing rogue created property in master tag through forced write operation
- All created properties now properly located in metadata objects only
- Tags command working perfectly with proper task count display
- Data integrity maintained with automatic cleanup during write operations
* fix(tags): Resolve critical tag deletion and migration notice bugs
Major Issues Fixed:
1. Tag Deletion Bug: Fixed critical issue where creating subtasks would delete other tags
- Root cause: writeJSON function wasn't accepting projectRoot/tag parameters
- Fixed writeJSON signature and logic to handle tagged data structure
- Added proper merging of resolved tag data back into full tagged structure
2. Persistent Migration Notice: Fixed FYI notice showing after every command
- Root cause: markMigrationForNotice was resetting migrationNoticeShown to false
- Fixed migration logic to only trigger on actual legacy->tagged migrations
- Added proper _rawTaggedData checks to prevent false migration detection
3. Data Corruption Prevention: Enhanced data integrity safeguards
- Fixed writeJSON to filter out internal properties
- Added automatic cleanup of rogue properties
- Improved hasTaggedStructure detection logic
Commands Fixed: add-subtask, remove-subtask, and all commands now preserve tags correctly
* fix(tags): Resolve tag deletion bug in remove-task command
Refactored the core 'removeTask' function to be fully tag-aware, preventing data corruption.
- The function now correctly reads the full tagged data structure by prioritizing '_rawTaggedData' instead of operating on a resolved single-tag view.
- All subsequent operations (task removal, dependency cleanup, file writing) now correctly reference the full multi-tag data object, preserving the integrity of 'tasks.json'.
- This resolves the critical bug where removing a task would delete all other tags.
* fix(tasks): Ensure new task IDs are sequential within the target tag
Modified the ID generation logic in 'add-task.js' to calculate the next task ID based on the highest ID within the specified tag, rather than globally across all tags.
This fixes a critical bug where creating a task in a new tag would result in a high, non-sequential ID, such as ID 105 for the first task in a tag.
* fix(commands): Add missing context parameters to dependency and remove-subtask commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to all dependency commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to remove-subtask command
- Add --tag option to remove-subtask command
- Fixes critical bug where remove-subtask was deleting other tags due to missing context
- All dependency and subtask commands now properly handle tagged task lists
* feat(tags): Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management
- parse-prd now supports creating tasks in specific contexts
- Fixed tag preservation logic to prevent data loss
- analyze-complexity generates tag-specific reports
- Non-existent tags created automatically
- Enables rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows
* feat(tags): Complete tagged task lists system with enhanced use-tag command
- Multi-context task management with full CLI support
- Enhanced use-tag command shows next available task after switching
- Universal --tag flag support across all commands
- Seamless migration with zero disruption
- Complete tag management suite (add, delete, rename, copy, list)
- Smart confirmation logic and data integrity protection
- State management and configuration integration
- Real-world use cases for teams, features, and releases
* feat(tags): Complete tag support for remaining CLI commands
- Add --tag flag to update, move, and set-status commands
- Ensure all task operation commands now support tag context
- Fix missing tag context passing to core functions
- Complete comprehensive tag-aware command coverage
* feat(ui): add tag indicator to all CLI commands
- shows 🏷️ tag: tagname for complete context visibility across 15+ commands
* fix(ui): resolve dependency 'Not found' issue when filtering
- now correctly displays dependencies that exist but are filtered out of view
* feat(research): Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with interactive follow-ups, save functionality, intelligent context gathering, fuzzy task discovery, multi-source context support, enhanced display with syntax highlighting, clean inquirer menus, comprehensive help, and MCP integration with saveTo parameter
* feat(tags): Implement full MCP support for Tagged Task Lists and update-task append mode
* chore: task management
* feat(research): Enhance research command with follow-up menu, save functionality, and fix ContextGatherer token counting
* feat(git-workflow): Add automatic git branch-tag integration
- Implement automatic tag creation when switching to new git branches
- Add branch-tag mapping system for seamless context switching
- Enable auto-switch of task contexts based on current git branch
- Provide isolated task contexts per branch to prevent merge conflicts
- Add configuration support for enabling/disabling git workflow features
- Fix ES module compatibility issues in git-utils module
- Maintain zero migration impact with automatic 'master' tag creation
- Support parallel development with branch-specific task contexts
The git workflow system automatically detects branch changes and creates corresponding empty task tags, enabling developers to maintain separate task contexts for different features/branches while preventing task-related merge conflicts during collaborative development.
Resolves git workflow integration requirements for multi-context development.
* feat(git-workflow): Simplify git integration with --from-branch option
- Remove automatic git workflow and branch-tag switching - we are not ready for it yet
- Add --from-branch option to add-tag command for manual tag creation from git branch
- Remove git workflow configuration from config.json and assets
- Disable automatic tag switching functions in git-utils.js
- Add createTagFromBranch function for branch-based tag creation
- Support both CLI and MCP interfaces for --from-branch functionality
- Fix ES module imports in git-utils.js and utils.js
- Maintain user control over tag contexts without forced automation
The simplified approach allows users to create tags from their current git branch when desired, without the complexity and rigidity of automatic branch-tag synchronization. Users maintain full control over their tag contexts while having convenient tools for git-based workflows when needed.
* docs: Update rule files to reflect simplified git integration approach
- Remove automatic git workflow features, update to manual --from-branch option, change Part 2 references to completed status
* fix(commands): Fix add-tag --from-branch requiring tagName argument
- Made tagName optional when using --from-branch - Added validation for either tagName or --from-branch
- Fixes 'missing required argument' error with --from-branch option
* fix(mcp): Prevent tag deletion on subtask update
Adds a safety net to the writeJSON utility to prevent data loss when updating subtasks via the MCP server.
The MCP process was inadvertently causing the _rawTaggedData property, which holds the complete multi-tag structure, to be lost. When writeJSON received the data for only a single tag, it would overwrite the entire tasks.json file, deleting all other tags.
This fix makes writeJSON more robust. If it receives data that looks like a single, resolved tag without the complete structure, it re-reads the full tasks.json file from disk. It then carefully merges the updated data back into the correct tag within the full structure, preserving all other tags.
* fix: resolve all remaining test failures and improve test reliability
- Fix clear-subtasks test by implementing deep copy of mock data to prevent mutation issues between tests
- Fix add-task test by uncommenting and properly configuring generateTaskFiles call with correct parameters
- Fix analyze-task-complexity tests by properly mocking fs.writeFileSync with shared mock function
- Update test expectations to match actual function signatures and data structures
- Improve mock setup consistency across all test suites
- Ensure all tests now pass (329 total: 318 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed)
* chore: task management

fix(ai,tasks): Enhance AI provider robustness and task processing
This commit introduces several improvements to AI interactions and
task management functionalities:
- AI Provider Enhancements (for Telemetry & Robustness):
- :
- Added a check in to ensure
is a string, throwing an error if not. This prevents downstream
errors (e.g., in ).
- , , :
- Standardized return structures for their respective
and functions to consistently include /
and fields. This aligns them with other providers (like
Anthropic, Google, Perplexity) for consistent telemetry data
collection, as part of implementing subtask 77.14 and similar work.
- Task Expansion ():
- Updated to be more explicit
about using an empty array for empty to
better guide AI output.
- Implemented a pre-emptive cleanup step in
to replace malformed with
before JSON parsing. This improves resilience to AI output quirks,
particularly observed with Perplexity.
- Adjusts issue in commands.js where successfulRemovals would be undefined. It's properly invoked from the result variable now.
- Updates supported models for Gemini
These changes address issues observed during E2E tests, enhance the
reliability of AI-driven task analysis and expansion, and promote
consistent telemetry data across multiple AI providers.

- Follow-up option for research with default to 'n' for quick workflow
* chore: removes task004 chat that had like 11k lines lol.
* chore: formatting
* feat(show): add comma-separated ID support for multi-task viewing
- Enhanced get-task/show command to support comma-separated task IDs for efficient batch operations.
- New features include multiple task retrieval, smart display logic, interactive action menu with batch operations, MCP array response for AI agent efficiency, and support for mixed parent tasks and subtasks.
- Implementation includes updated CLI show command, enhanced MCP get_task tool, modified showTaskDirect function, and maintained full backward compatibility.
- Documentation updated across all relevant files.
Benefits include faster context gathering for AI agents, improved workflow with interactive batch operations, better UX with responsive layout, and enhanced API efficiency.
* feat(research): Adds MCP tool for command
- New MCP Tool: research tool enables AI-powered research with project context

- Direct Function: researchDirect with comprehensive parameter validation
- Silent Mode: Prevents console output interference with MCP JSON responses
- Error Handling: Robust error handling with proper MCP response formatting
This completes subtasks 94.5 (Direct Function) and 94.6 (MCP Tool) for the research command implementation, providing a powerful research interface for integrated development environments like Cursor.
Updated documentation across taskmaster.mdc, README.md, command-reference.md, examples.md, tutorial.md, and docs/README.md to highlight research capabilities and usage patterns.
* chore: task management
* chore: task management and removes mistakenly staged changes
* fix(move): Fix move command bug that left duplicate tasks
- Fixed logic in moveTaskToNewId function that was incorrectly treating task-to-task moves as subtask creation instead of task replacement
- Updated moveTaskToNewId to properly handle replacing existing destination tasks instead of just placeholders
- The move command now correctly replaces destination tasks and cleans up properly without leaving duplicates
- Task Management: Moved task 93 (Google Vertex AI Provider) to position 88, Moved task 94 (Azure OpenAI Provider) to position 89, Updated task dependencies and regenerated task files, Cleaned up orphaned task files automatically
- All important validations remain in place: Prevents moving tasks to themselves, Prevents moving parent tasks to their own subtasks, Prevents circular dependencies
- Resolves the issue where moving tasks would leave both source and destination tasks in tasks.json and file system

Improves UI continuity
* fix(ai-providers): change generateObject mode from 'tool' to 'auto' for better provider compatibility
Fixes Perplexity research role failing with 'tool-mode object generation' error
The hardcoded 'tool' mode was incompatible with providers like Perplexity that support structured JSON output but not function calling/tool use
Using 'auto' mode allows the AI SDK to choose the best approach for each provider
* Adds qwen3-235n-a22b:free to supported models. Closes #687)
* chore: adds a warning when custom openrouter model is a free model which suffers from lower rate limits, restricted context, and, worst of all, no access to tool_use.
* refactor: enhance add-task fuzzy search and fix duplicate banner display
- **Remove hardcoded category system** in add-task that always matched 'Task management'
- **Eliminate arbitrary limits** in fuzzy search results (5→25 high relevance, 3→10 medium relevance, 8→20 detailed tasks)
- **Improve semantic weighting** in Fuse.js search (details=3, description=2, title=1.5) for better relevance
- **Fix duplicate banner issue** by removing console.clear() and redundant displayBanner() calls from UI functions
- **Enhance context generation** to rely on semantic similarity rather than rigid pattern matching
- **Preserve terminal history** to address GitHub issue #553 about eating terminal lines
- **Remove displayBanner() calls** from: displayHelp, displayNextTask, displayTaskById, displayComplexityReport, set-task-status, clear-subtasks, dependency-manager functions
The add-task system now provides truly relevant task context based on semantic similarity rather than arbitrary categories and limits, while maintaining a cleaner terminal experience.
Changes span: add-task.js, ui.js, set-task-status.js, clear-subtasks.js, list-tasks.js, dependency-manager.js
Closes #553

* feat(tags): Implement tagged task lists migration system (Part 1/2)
This commit introduces the foundational infrastructure for tagged task lists,
enabling multi-context task management without remote storage to prevent merge conflicts.
CORE ARCHITECTURE:
• Silent migration system transforms tasks.json from old format { "tasks": [...] }
to new tagged format { "master": { "tasks": [...] } }
• Tag resolution layer provides complete backward compatibility - existing code continues to work
• Automatic configuration and state management for seamless user experience
SILENT MIGRATION SYSTEM:
• Automatic detection and migration of legacy tasks.json format
• Complete project migration: tasks.json + config.json + state.json
• Transparent tag resolution returns old format to maintain compatibility
• Zero breaking changes - all existing functionality preserved
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT:
• Added global.defaultTag setting (defaults to 'master')
• New tags section with gitIntegration placeholders for future features
• Automatic config.json migration during first run
• Proper state.json creation with migration tracking
USER EXPERIENCE:
• Clean, one-time FYI notice after migration (no emojis, professional styling)
• Notice appears after 'Suggested Next Steps' and is tracked in state.json
• Silent operation - users unaware migration occurred unless explicitly shown
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
• Enhanced readJSON() with automatic migration detection and processing
• New utility functions: getCurrentTag(), resolveTag(), getTasksForTag(), setTasksForTag()
• Complete migration orchestration via performCompleteTagMigration()
• Robust error handling and fallback mechanisms
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY:
• 100% backward compatibility maintained
• Existing CLI commands and MCP tools continue to work unchanged
• Legacy tasks.json format automatically upgraded on first read
• All existing workflows preserved
TESTING VERIFIED:
• Complete migration from legacy state works correctly
• Config.json properly updated with tagged system settings
• State.json created with correct initial values
• Migration notice system functions as designed
• All existing functionality continues to work normally
Part 2 will implement tag management commands (add-tag, use-tag, list-tags)
and MCP tool updates for full tagged task system functionality.
Related: Task 103 - Implement Tagged Task Lists System for Multi-Context Task Management
* docs: Update documentation and rules for tagged task lists system
- Updated task-structure.md with comprehensive tagged format explanation
- Updated all .cursor/rules/*.mdc files to reflect tagged system
- Completed subtask 103.16: Update Documentation for Tagged Task Lists System
* feat(mcp): Add tagInfo to responses and integrate ContextGatherer
Enhances the MCP server to include 'tagInfo' (currentTag, availableTags) in all tool responses, providing better client-side context.
- Introduces a new 'ContextGatherer' utility to standardize the collection of file, task, and project context for AI-powered commands. This refactors several task-manager modules ('expand-task', 'research', 'update-task', etc.) to use the new utility.
- Fixes an issue in 'get-task' and 'get-tasks' MCP tools where the 'projectRoot' was not being passed correctly, preventing tag information from being included in their responses.
- Adds subtask '103.17' to track the implementation of the task template importing feature.
- Updates documentation ('.cursor/rules', 'docs/') to align with the new tagged task system and context gatherer logic.
* fix: include tagInfo in AI service responses for MCP tools
- Update all core functions that call AI services to extract and return tagInfo
- Update all direct functions to include tagInfo in MCP response data
- Fixes issue where add_task, expand_task, and other AI commands were not including current tag and available tags information
- tagInfo includes currentTag from state.json and availableTags list
- Ensures tagged task lists system information is properly propagated through the full chain: AI service -> core function -> direct function -> MCP client
* fix(move-task): Update move functionality for tagged task system compatibility
- incorporate GitHub commit fixes and resolve readJSON data handling
* feat(tagged-tasks): Complete core tag management system implementation
- Implements comprehensive tagged task lists system for multi-context task management including core tag management functions (Task 103.11), MCP integration updates, and foundational infrastructure for tagged task operations. Features tag CRUD operations, validation, metadata tracking, deep task copying, and full backward compatibility.
* fix(core): Fixed move-task.js writing _rawTaggedData directly, updated writeJSON to filter tag fields, fixed CLI move command missing projectRoot, added ensureTagMetadata utility
* fix(tasks): ensure list tasks triggers silent migration if necessary.
* feat(tags): Complete show and add-task command tag support
- show command: Added --tag flag, fixed projectRoot passing to UI functions
- add-task command: Already had proper tag support and projectRoot handling
- Both commands now work correctly with tagged task lists system
- Migration logic works properly when viewing and adding tasks
- Updated subtask 103.5 with progress on high-priority command fixes
* fix(tags): Clean up rogue created properties and fix taskCount calculation
- Enhanced writeJSON to automatically filter rogue created/description properties from tag objects
- Fixed tags command error by making taskCount calculation dynamic instead of hardcoded
- Cleaned up existing rogue created property in master tag through forced write operation
- All created properties now properly located in metadata objects only
- Tags command working perfectly with proper task count display
- Data integrity maintained with automatic cleanup during write operations
* fix(tags): Resolve critical tag deletion and migration notice bugs
Major Issues Fixed:
1. Tag Deletion Bug: Fixed critical issue where creating subtasks would delete other tags
- Root cause: writeJSON function wasn't accepting projectRoot/tag parameters
- Fixed writeJSON signature and logic to handle tagged data structure
- Added proper merging of resolved tag data back into full tagged structure
2. Persistent Migration Notice: Fixed FYI notice showing after every command
- Root cause: markMigrationForNotice was resetting migrationNoticeShown to false
- Fixed migration logic to only trigger on actual legacy->tagged migrations
- Added proper _rawTaggedData checks to prevent false migration detection
3. Data Corruption Prevention: Enhanced data integrity safeguards
- Fixed writeJSON to filter out internal properties
- Added automatic cleanup of rogue properties
- Improved hasTaggedStructure detection logic
Commands Fixed: add-subtask, remove-subtask, and all commands now preserve tags correctly
* fix(tags): Resolve tag deletion bug in remove-task command
Refactored the core 'removeTask' function to be fully tag-aware, preventing data corruption.
- The function now correctly reads the full tagged data structure by prioritizing '_rawTaggedData' instead of operating on a resolved single-tag view.
- All subsequent operations (task removal, dependency cleanup, file writing) now correctly reference the full multi-tag data object, preserving the integrity of 'tasks.json'.
- This resolves the critical bug where removing a task would delete all other tags.
* fix(tasks): Ensure new task IDs are sequential within the target tag
Modified the ID generation logic in 'add-task.js' to calculate the next task ID based on the highest ID within the specified tag, rather than globally across all tags.
This fixes a critical bug where creating a task in a new tag would result in a high, non-sequential ID, such as ID 105 for the first task in a tag.
* fix(commands): Add missing context parameters to dependency and remove-subtask commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to all dependency commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to remove-subtask command
- Add --tag option to remove-subtask command
- Fixes critical bug where remove-subtask was deleting other tags due to missing context
- All dependency and subtask commands now properly handle tagged task lists
* feat(tags): Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management
- parse-prd now supports creating tasks in specific contexts
- Fixed tag preservation logic to prevent data loss
- analyze-complexity generates tag-specific reports
- Non-existent tags created automatically
- Enables rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows
* feat(tags): Complete tagged task lists system with enhanced use-tag command
- Multi-context task management with full CLI support
- Enhanced use-tag command shows next available task after switching
- Universal --tag flag support across all commands
- Seamless migration with zero disruption
- Complete tag management suite (add, delete, rename, copy, list)
- Smart confirmation logic and data integrity protection
- State management and configuration integration
- Real-world use cases for teams, features, and releases
* feat(tags): Complete tag support for remaining CLI commands
- Add --tag flag to update, move, and set-status commands
- Ensure all task operation commands now support tag context
- Fix missing tag context passing to core functions
- Complete comprehensive tag-aware command coverage
* feat(ui): add tag indicator to all CLI commands
- shows 🏷️ tag: tagname for complete context visibility across 15+ commands
* fix(ui): resolve dependency 'Not found' issue when filtering
- now correctly displays dependencies that exist but are filtered out of view
* feat(research): Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with interactive follow-ups, save functionality, intelligent context gathering, fuzzy task discovery, multi-source context support, enhanced display with syntax highlighting, clean inquirer menus, comprehensive help, and MCP integration with saveTo parameter
* feat(tags): Implement full MCP support for Tagged Task Lists and update-task append mode
* chore: task management
* feat(research): Enhance research command with follow-up menu, save functionality, and fix ContextGatherer token counting
* feat(git-workflow): Add automatic git branch-tag integration
- Implement automatic tag creation when switching to new git branches
- Add branch-tag mapping system for seamless context switching
- Enable auto-switch of task contexts based on current git branch
- Provide isolated task contexts per branch to prevent merge conflicts
- Add configuration support for enabling/disabling git workflow features
- Fix ES module compatibility issues in git-utils module
- Maintain zero migration impact with automatic 'master' tag creation
- Support parallel development with branch-specific task contexts
The git workflow system automatically detects branch changes and creates corresponding empty task tags, enabling developers to maintain separate task contexts for different features/branches while preventing task-related merge conflicts during collaborative development.
Resolves git workflow integration requirements for multi-context development.
* feat(git-workflow): Simplify git integration with --from-branch option
- Remove automatic git workflow and branch-tag switching - we are not ready for it yet
- Add --from-branch option to add-tag command for manual tag creation from git branch
- Remove git workflow configuration from config.json and assets
- Disable automatic tag switching functions in git-utils.js
- Add createTagFromBranch function for branch-based tag creation
- Support both CLI and MCP interfaces for --from-branch functionality
- Fix ES module imports in git-utils.js and utils.js
- Maintain user control over tag contexts without forced automation
The simplified approach allows users to create tags from their current git branch when desired, without the complexity and rigidity of automatic branch-tag synchronization. Users maintain full control over their tag contexts while having convenient tools for git-based workflows when needed.
* docs: Update rule files to reflect simplified git integration approach
- Remove automatic git workflow features, update to manual --from-branch option, change Part 2 references to completed status
* fix(commands): Fix add-tag --from-branch requiring tagName argument
- Made tagName optional when using --from-branch - Added validation for either tagName or --from-branch
- Fixes 'missing required argument' error with --from-branch option
* fix(mcp): Prevent tag deletion on subtask update
Adds a safety net to the writeJSON utility to prevent data loss when updating subtasks via the MCP server.
The MCP process was inadvertently causing the _rawTaggedData property, which holds the complete multi-tag structure, to be lost. When writeJSON received the data for only a single tag, it would overwrite the entire tasks.json file, deleting all other tags.
This fix makes writeJSON more robust. If it receives data that looks like a single, resolved tag without the complete structure, it re-reads the full tasks.json file from disk. It then carefully merges the updated data back into the correct tag within the full structure, preserving all other tags.
* fix: resolve all remaining test failures and improve test reliability
- Fix clear-subtasks test by implementing deep copy of mock data to prevent mutation issues between tests
- Fix add-task test by uncommenting and properly configuring generateTaskFiles call with correct parameters
- Fix analyze-task-complexity tests by properly mocking fs.writeFileSync with shared mock function
- Update test expectations to match actual function signatures and data structures
- Improve mock setup consistency across all test suites
- Ensure all tests now pass (329 total: 318 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed)

fix(ai,tasks): Enhance AI provider robustness and task processing
This commit introduces several improvements to AI interactions and
task management functionalities:
- AI Provider Enhancements (for Telemetry & Robustness):
- :
- Added a check in to ensure
is a string, throwing an error if not. This prevents downstream
errors (e.g., in ).
- , , :
- Standardized return structures for their respective
and functions to consistently include /
and fields. This aligns them with other providers (like
Anthropic, Google, Perplexity) for consistent telemetry data
collection, as part of implementing subtask 77.14 and similar work.
- Task Expansion ():
- Updated to be more explicit
about using an empty array for empty to
better guide AI output.
- Implemented a pre-emptive cleanup step in
to replace malformed with
before JSON parsing. This improves resilience to AI output quirks,
particularly observed with Perplexity.
- Adjusts issue in commands.js where successfulRemovals would be undefined. It's properly invoked from the result variable now.
- Updates supported models for Gemini
These changes address issues observed during E2E tests, enhance the
reliability of AI-driven task analysis and expansion, and promote
consistent telemetry data across multiple AI providers.

* feat(tags): Implement tagged task lists migration system (Part 1/2)
This commit introduces the foundational infrastructure for tagged task lists,
enabling multi-context task management without remote storage to prevent merge conflicts.
CORE ARCHITECTURE:
• Silent migration system transforms tasks.json from old format { "tasks": [...] }
to new tagged format { "master": { "tasks": [...] } }
• Tag resolution layer provides complete backward compatibility - existing code continues to work
• Automatic configuration and state management for seamless user experience
SILENT MIGRATION SYSTEM:
• Automatic detection and migration of legacy tasks.json format
• Complete project migration: tasks.json + config.json + state.json
• Transparent tag resolution returns old format to maintain compatibility
• Zero breaking changes - all existing functionality preserved
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT:
• Added global.defaultTag setting (defaults to 'master')
• New tags section with gitIntegration placeholders for future features
• Automatic config.json migration during first run
• Proper state.json creation with migration tracking
USER EXPERIENCE:
• Clean, one-time FYI notice after migration (no emojis, professional styling)
• Notice appears after 'Suggested Next Steps' and is tracked in state.json
• Silent operation - users unaware migration occurred unless explicitly shown
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
• Enhanced readJSON() with automatic migration detection and processing
• New utility functions: getCurrentTag(), resolveTag(), getTasksForTag(), setTasksForTag()
• Complete migration orchestration via performCompleteTagMigration()
• Robust error handling and fallback mechanisms
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY:
• 100% backward compatibility maintained
• Existing CLI commands and MCP tools continue to work unchanged
• Legacy tasks.json format automatically upgraded on first read
• All existing workflows preserved
TESTING VERIFIED:
• Complete migration from legacy state works correctly
• Config.json properly updated with tagged system settings
• State.json created with correct initial values
• Migration notice system functions as designed
• All existing functionality continues to work normally
Part 2 will implement tag management commands (add-tag, use-tag, list-tags)
and MCP tool updates for full tagged task system functionality.
Related: Task 103 - Implement Tagged Task Lists System for Multi-Context Task Management
* docs: Update documentation and rules for tagged task lists system
- Updated task-structure.md with comprehensive tagged format explanation
- Updated all .cursor/rules/*.mdc files to reflect tagged system
- Completed subtask 103.16: Update Documentation for Tagged Task Lists System
* feat(mcp): Add tagInfo to responses and integrate ContextGatherer
Enhances the MCP server to include 'tagInfo' (currentTag, availableTags) in all tool responses, providing better client-side context.
- Introduces a new 'ContextGatherer' utility to standardize the collection of file, task, and project context for AI-powered commands. This refactors several task-manager modules ('expand-task', 'research', 'update-task', etc.) to use the new utility.
- Fixes an issue in 'get-task' and 'get-tasks' MCP tools where the 'projectRoot' was not being passed correctly, preventing tag information from being included in their responses.
- Adds subtask '103.17' to track the implementation of the task template importing feature.
- Updates documentation ('.cursor/rules', 'docs/') to align with the new tagged task system and context gatherer logic.
* fix: include tagInfo in AI service responses for MCP tools
- Update all core functions that call AI services to extract and return tagInfo
- Update all direct functions to include tagInfo in MCP response data
- Fixes issue where add_task, expand_task, and other AI commands were not including current tag and available tags information
- tagInfo includes currentTag from state.json and availableTags list
- Ensures tagged task lists system information is properly propagated through the full chain: AI service -> core function -> direct function -> MCP client
* fix(move-task): Update move functionality for tagged task system compatibility
- incorporate GitHub commit fixes and resolve readJSON data handling
* feat(tagged-tasks): Complete core tag management system implementation
- Implements comprehensive tagged task lists system for multi-context task management including core tag management functions (Task 103.11), MCP integration updates, and foundational infrastructure for tagged task operations. Features tag CRUD operations, validation, metadata tracking, deep task copying, and full backward compatibility.
* fix(core): Fixed move-task.js writing _rawTaggedData directly, updated writeJSON to filter tag fields, fixed CLI move command missing projectRoot, added ensureTagMetadata utility
* fix(tasks): ensure list tasks triggers silent migration if necessary.
* feat(tags): Complete show and add-task command tag support
- show command: Added --tag flag, fixed projectRoot passing to UI functions
- add-task command: Already had proper tag support and projectRoot handling
- Both commands now work correctly with tagged task lists system
- Migration logic works properly when viewing and adding tasks
- Updated subtask 103.5 with progress on high-priority command fixes
* fix(tags): Clean up rogue created properties and fix taskCount calculation
- Enhanced writeJSON to automatically filter rogue created/description properties from tag objects
- Fixed tags command error by making taskCount calculation dynamic instead of hardcoded
- Cleaned up existing rogue created property in master tag through forced write operation
- All created properties now properly located in metadata objects only
- Tags command working perfectly with proper task count display
- Data integrity maintained with automatic cleanup during write operations
* fix(tags): Resolve critical tag deletion and migration notice bugs
Major Issues Fixed:
1. Tag Deletion Bug: Fixed critical issue where creating subtasks would delete other tags
- Root cause: writeJSON function wasn't accepting projectRoot/tag parameters
- Fixed writeJSON signature and logic to handle tagged data structure
- Added proper merging of resolved tag data back into full tagged structure
2. Persistent Migration Notice: Fixed FYI notice showing after every command
- Root cause: markMigrationForNotice was resetting migrationNoticeShown to false
- Fixed migration logic to only trigger on actual legacy->tagged migrations
- Added proper _rawTaggedData checks to prevent false migration detection
3. Data Corruption Prevention: Enhanced data integrity safeguards
- Fixed writeJSON to filter out internal properties
- Added automatic cleanup of rogue properties
- Improved hasTaggedStructure detection logic
Commands Fixed: add-subtask, remove-subtask, and all commands now preserve tags correctly
* fix(tags): Resolve tag deletion bug in remove-task command
Refactored the core 'removeTask' function to be fully tag-aware, preventing data corruption.
- The function now correctly reads the full tagged data structure by prioritizing '_rawTaggedData' instead of operating on a resolved single-tag view.
- All subsequent operations (task removal, dependency cleanup, file writing) now correctly reference the full multi-tag data object, preserving the integrity of 'tasks.json'.
- This resolves the critical bug where removing a task would delete all other tags.
* fix(tasks): Ensure new task IDs are sequential within the target tag
Modified the ID generation logic in 'add-task.js' to calculate the next task ID based on the highest ID within the specified tag, rather than globally across all tags.
This fixes a critical bug where creating a task in a new tag would result in a high, non-sequential ID, such as ID 105 for the first task in a tag.
* fix(commands): Add missing context parameters to dependency and remove-subtask commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to all dependency commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to remove-subtask command
- Add --tag option to remove-subtask command
- Fixes critical bug where remove-subtask was deleting other tags due to missing context
- All dependency and subtask commands now properly handle tagged task lists
* feat(tags): Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management
- parse-prd now supports creating tasks in specific contexts
- Fixed tag preservation logic to prevent data loss
- analyze-complexity generates tag-specific reports
- Non-existent tags created automatically
- Enables rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows
* feat(tags): Complete tagged task lists system with enhanced use-tag command
- Multi-context task management with full CLI support
- Enhanced use-tag command shows next available task after switching
- Universal --tag flag support across all commands
- Seamless migration with zero disruption
- Complete tag management suite (add, delete, rename, copy, list)
- Smart confirmation logic and data integrity protection
- State management and configuration integration
- Real-world use cases for teams, features, and releases
* feat(tags): Complete tag support for remaining CLI commands
- Add --tag flag to update, move, and set-status commands
- Ensure all task operation commands now support tag context
- Fix missing tag context passing to core functions
- Complete comprehensive tag-aware command coverage
* feat(ui): add tag indicator to all CLI commands
- shows 🏷️ tag: tagname for complete context visibility across 15+ commands
* fix(ui): resolve dependency 'Not found' issue when filtering
- now correctly displays dependencies that exist but are filtered out of view
* feat(research): Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with interactive follow-ups, save functionality, intelligent context gathering, fuzzy task discovery, multi-source context support, enhanced display with syntax highlighting, clean inquirer menus, comprehensive help, and MCP integration with saveTo parameter
* feat(tags): Implement full MCP support for Tagged Task Lists and update-task append mode
* chore: task management
* feat(research): Enhance research command with follow-up menu, save functionality, and fix ContextGatherer token counting
* feat(git-workflow): Add automatic git branch-tag integration
- Implement automatic tag creation when switching to new git branches
- Add branch-tag mapping system for seamless context switching
- Enable auto-switch of task contexts based on current git branch
- Provide isolated task contexts per branch to prevent merge conflicts
- Add configuration support for enabling/disabling git workflow features
- Fix ES module compatibility issues in git-utils module
- Maintain zero migration impact with automatic 'master' tag creation
- Support parallel development with branch-specific task contexts
The git workflow system automatically detects branch changes and creates corresponding empty task tags, enabling developers to maintain separate task contexts for different features/branches while preventing task-related merge conflicts during collaborative development.
Resolves git workflow integration requirements for multi-context development.
* feat(git-workflow): Simplify git integration with --from-branch option
- Remove automatic git workflow and branch-tag switching - we are not ready for it yet
- Add --from-branch option to add-tag command for manual tag creation from git branch
- Remove git workflow configuration from config.json and assets
- Disable automatic tag switching functions in git-utils.js
- Add createTagFromBranch function for branch-based tag creation
- Support both CLI and MCP interfaces for --from-branch functionality
- Fix ES module imports in git-utils.js and utils.js
- Maintain user control over tag contexts without forced automation
The simplified approach allows users to create tags from their current git branch when desired, without the complexity and rigidity of automatic branch-tag synchronization. Users maintain full control over their tag contexts while having convenient tools for git-based workflows when needed.
* docs: Update rule files to reflect simplified git integration approach
- Remove automatic git workflow features, update to manual --from-branch option, change Part 2 references to completed status
* fix(commands): Fix add-tag --from-branch requiring tagName argument
- Made tagName optional when using --from-branch - Added validation for either tagName or --from-branch
- Fixes 'missing required argument' error with --from-branch option
* fix(mcp): Prevent tag deletion on subtask update
Adds a safety net to the writeJSON utility to prevent data loss when updating subtasks via the MCP server.
The MCP process was inadvertently causing the _rawTaggedData property, which holds the complete multi-tag structure, to be lost. When writeJSON received the data for only a single tag, it would overwrite the entire tasks.json file, deleting all other tags.
This fix makes writeJSON more robust. If it receives data that looks like a single, resolved tag without the complete structure, it re-reads the full tasks.json file from disk. It then carefully merges the updated data back into the correct tag within the full structure, preserving all other tags.
* fix: resolve all remaining test failures and improve test reliability
- Fix clear-subtasks test by implementing deep copy of mock data to prevent mutation issues between tests
- Fix add-task test by uncommenting and properly configuring generateTaskFiles call with correct parameters
- Fix analyze-task-complexity tests by properly mocking fs.writeFileSync with shared mock function
- Update test expectations to match actual function signatures and data structures
- Improve mock setup consistency across all test suites
- Ensure all tests now pass (329 total: 318 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed)

fix(ai,tasks): Enhance AI provider robustness and task processing
This commit introduces several improvements to AI interactions and
task management functionalities:
- AI Provider Enhancements (for Telemetry & Robustness):
- :
- Added a check in to ensure
is a string, throwing an error if not. This prevents downstream
errors (e.g., in ).
- , , :
- Standardized return structures for their respective
and functions to consistently include /
and fields. This aligns them with other providers (like
Anthropic, Google, Perplexity) for consistent telemetry data
collection, as part of implementing subtask 77.14 and similar work.
- Task Expansion ():
- Updated to be more explicit
about using an empty array for empty to
better guide AI output.
- Implemented a pre-emptive cleanup step in
to replace malformed with
before JSON parsing. This improves resilience to AI output quirks,
particularly observed with Perplexity.
- Adjusts issue in commands.js where successfulRemovals would be undefined. It's properly invoked from the result variable now.
- Updates supported models for Gemini
These changes address issues observed during E2E tests, enhance the
reliability of AI-driven task analysis and expansion, and promote
consistent telemetry data across multiple AI providers.

- Modified `expandTask` default behavior to append newly generated subtasks to any existing ones.
- Added a `force` flag (passed down from CLI/MCP via `--force` option/parameter) to `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks`. When `force` is true, existing subtasks are cleared before generating new ones.
- Updated relevant CLI command (`expand`), MCP tool (`expand_task`, `expand_all`), and direct function wrappers (`expandTaskDirect`, `expandAllTasksDirect`) to handle and pass the `force` flag.
- **Complexity Report Integration (`expandTask`):**
- `expandTask` now reads `scripts/task-complexity-report.json`.
- If an analysis entry exists for the target task:
- `recommendedSubtasks` is used to determine the number of subtasks to generate (unless `--num` is explicitly provided).
- `expansionPrompt` is used as the primary prompt content for the AI.
- `reasoning` is appended to any additional context provided.
- If no report entry exists or the report is missing, it falls back to default subtask count (from config) and standard prompt generation.
- **`expandAllTasks` Orchestration:**
- Refactored `expandAllTasks` to primarily iterate through eligible tasks (pending/in-progress, considering `force` flag and existing subtasks) and call the updated `expandTask` function for each.
- Removed redundant logic (like complexity reading or explicit subtask clearing) now handled within `expandTask`.
- Ensures correct context (`session`, `mcpLog`) and flags (`useResearch`, `force`) are passed down.
- **Configuration & Cleanup:**
- Updated `.cursor/mcp.json` with new Perplexity/Anthropic API keys (old ones invalidated).
- Completed refactoring of `expandTask` started in 61.37, confirming usage of `generateTextService` and appropriate prompts.
- **Task Management:**
- Marked subtask 61.37 as complete.
- Updated `.changeset/cuddly-zebras-matter.md` to reflect user-facing changes.
These changes finalize the refactoring of the task expansion features, making them more robust, configurable via complexity analysis, and aligned with the unified AI service architecture.

* fix(ai-providers): change generateObject mode from 'tool' to 'auto' for better provider compatibility
Fixes Perplexity research role failing with 'tool-mode object generation' error
The hardcoded 'tool' mode was incompatible with providers like Perplexity that support structured JSON output but not function calling/tool use
Using 'auto' mode allows the AI SDK to choose the best approach for each provider
* Adds qwen3-235n-a22b:free to supported models. Closes #687)
* chore: adds a warning when custom openrouter model is a free model which suffers from lower rate limits, restricted context, and, worst of all, no access to tool_use.
* refactor: enhance add-task fuzzy search and fix duplicate banner display
- **Remove hardcoded category system** in add-task that always matched 'Task management'
- **Eliminate arbitrary limits** in fuzzy search results (5→25 high relevance, 3→10 medium relevance, 8→20 detailed tasks)
- **Improve semantic weighting** in Fuse.js search (details=3, description=2, title=1.5) for better relevance
- **Fix duplicate banner issue** by removing console.clear() and redundant displayBanner() calls from UI functions
- **Enhance context generation** to rely on semantic similarity rather than rigid pattern matching
- **Preserve terminal history** to address GitHub issue #553 about eating terminal lines
- **Remove displayBanner() calls** from: displayHelp, displayNextTask, displayTaskById, displayComplexityReport, set-task-status, clear-subtasks, dependency-manager functions
The add-task system now provides truly relevant task context based on semantic similarity rather than arbitrary categories and limits, while maintaining a cleaner terminal experience.

* feat(tags): Implement tagged task lists migration system (Part 1/2)
This commit introduces the foundational infrastructure for tagged task lists,
enabling multi-context task management without remote storage to prevent merge conflicts.
CORE ARCHITECTURE:
• Silent migration system transforms tasks.json from old format { "tasks": [...] }
to new tagged format { "master": { "tasks": [...] } }
• Tag resolution layer provides complete backward compatibility - existing code continues to work
• Automatic configuration and state management for seamless user experience
SILENT MIGRATION SYSTEM:
• Automatic detection and migration of legacy tasks.json format
• Complete project migration: tasks.json + config.json + state.json
• Transparent tag resolution returns old format to maintain compatibility
• Zero breaking changes - all existing functionality preserved
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT:
• Added global.defaultTag setting (defaults to 'master')
• New tags section with gitIntegration placeholders for future features
• Automatic config.json migration during first run
• Proper state.json creation with migration tracking
USER EXPERIENCE:
• Clean, one-time FYI notice after migration (no emojis, professional styling)
• Notice appears after 'Suggested Next Steps' and is tracked in state.json
• Silent operation - users unaware migration occurred unless explicitly shown
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
• Enhanced readJSON() with automatic migration detection and processing
• New utility functions: getCurrentTag(), resolveTag(), getTasksForTag(), setTasksForTag()
• Complete migration orchestration via performCompleteTagMigration()
• Robust error handling and fallback mechanisms
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY:
• 100% backward compatibility maintained
• Existing CLI commands and MCP tools continue to work unchanged
• Legacy tasks.json format automatically upgraded on first read
• All existing workflows preserved
TESTING VERIFIED:
• Complete migration from legacy state works correctly
• Config.json properly updated with tagged system settings
• State.json created with correct initial values
• Migration notice system functions as designed
• All existing functionality continues to work normally
Part 2 will implement tag management commands (add-tag, use-tag, list-tags)
and MCP tool updates for full tagged task system functionality.
Related: Task 103 - Implement Tagged Task Lists System for Multi-Context Task Management
* docs: Update documentation and rules for tagged task lists system
- Updated task-structure.md with comprehensive tagged format explanation
- Updated all .cursor/rules/*.mdc files to reflect tagged system
- Completed subtask 103.16: Update Documentation for Tagged Task Lists System
* feat(mcp): Add tagInfo to responses and integrate ContextGatherer
Enhances the MCP server to include 'tagInfo' (currentTag, availableTags) in all tool responses, providing better client-side context.
- Introduces a new 'ContextGatherer' utility to standardize the collection of file, task, and project context for AI-powered commands. This refactors several task-manager modules ('expand-task', 'research', 'update-task', etc.) to use the new utility.
- Fixes an issue in 'get-task' and 'get-tasks' MCP tools where the 'projectRoot' was not being passed correctly, preventing tag information from being included in their responses.
- Adds subtask '103.17' to track the implementation of the task template importing feature.
- Updates documentation ('.cursor/rules', 'docs/') to align with the new tagged task system and context gatherer logic.
* fix: include tagInfo in AI service responses for MCP tools
- Update all core functions that call AI services to extract and return tagInfo
- Update all direct functions to include tagInfo in MCP response data
- Fixes issue where add_task, expand_task, and other AI commands were not including current tag and available tags information
- tagInfo includes currentTag from state.json and availableTags list
- Ensures tagged task lists system information is properly propagated through the full chain: AI service -> core function -> direct function -> MCP client
* fix(move-task): Update move functionality for tagged task system compatibility
- incorporate GitHub commit fixes and resolve readJSON data handling
* feat(tagged-tasks): Complete core tag management system implementation
- Implements comprehensive tagged task lists system for multi-context task management including core tag management functions (Task 103.11), MCP integration updates, and foundational infrastructure for tagged task operations. Features tag CRUD operations, validation, metadata tracking, deep task copying, and full backward compatibility.
* fix(core): Fixed move-task.js writing _rawTaggedData directly, updated writeJSON to filter tag fields, fixed CLI move command missing projectRoot, added ensureTagMetadata utility
* fix(tasks): ensure list tasks triggers silent migration if necessary.
* feat(tags): Complete show and add-task command tag support
- show command: Added --tag flag, fixed projectRoot passing to UI functions
- add-task command: Already had proper tag support and projectRoot handling
- Both commands now work correctly with tagged task lists system
- Migration logic works properly when viewing and adding tasks
- Updated subtask 103.5 with progress on high-priority command fixes
* fix(tags): Clean up rogue created properties and fix taskCount calculation
- Enhanced writeJSON to automatically filter rogue created/description properties from tag objects
- Fixed tags command error by making taskCount calculation dynamic instead of hardcoded
- Cleaned up existing rogue created property in master tag through forced write operation
- All created properties now properly located in metadata objects only
- Tags command working perfectly with proper task count display
- Data integrity maintained with automatic cleanup during write operations
* fix(tags): Resolve critical tag deletion and migration notice bugs
Major Issues Fixed:
1. Tag Deletion Bug: Fixed critical issue where creating subtasks would delete other tags
- Root cause: writeJSON function wasn't accepting projectRoot/tag parameters
- Fixed writeJSON signature and logic to handle tagged data structure
- Added proper merging of resolved tag data back into full tagged structure
2. Persistent Migration Notice: Fixed FYI notice showing after every command
- Root cause: markMigrationForNotice was resetting migrationNoticeShown to false
- Fixed migration logic to only trigger on actual legacy->tagged migrations
- Added proper _rawTaggedData checks to prevent false migration detection
3. Data Corruption Prevention: Enhanced data integrity safeguards
- Fixed writeJSON to filter out internal properties
- Added automatic cleanup of rogue properties
- Improved hasTaggedStructure detection logic
Commands Fixed: add-subtask, remove-subtask, and all commands now preserve tags correctly
* fix(tags): Resolve tag deletion bug in remove-task command
Refactored the core 'removeTask' function to be fully tag-aware, preventing data corruption.
- The function now correctly reads the full tagged data structure by prioritizing '_rawTaggedData' instead of operating on a resolved single-tag view.
- All subsequent operations (task removal, dependency cleanup, file writing) now correctly reference the full multi-tag data object, preserving the integrity of 'tasks.json'.
- This resolves the critical bug where removing a task would delete all other tags.
* fix(tasks): Ensure new task IDs are sequential within the target tag
Modified the ID generation logic in 'add-task.js' to calculate the next task ID based on the highest ID within the specified tag, rather than globally across all tags.
This fixes a critical bug where creating a task in a new tag would result in a high, non-sequential ID, such as ID 105 for the first task in a tag.
* fix(commands): Add missing context parameters to dependency and remove-subtask commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to all dependency commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to remove-subtask command
- Add --tag option to remove-subtask command
- Fixes critical bug where remove-subtask was deleting other tags due to missing context
- All dependency and subtask commands now properly handle tagged task lists
* feat(tags): Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management
- parse-prd now supports creating tasks in specific contexts
- Fixed tag preservation logic to prevent data loss
- analyze-complexity generates tag-specific reports
- Non-existent tags created automatically
- Enables rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows
* feat(tags): Complete tagged task lists system with enhanced use-tag command
- Multi-context task management with full CLI support
- Enhanced use-tag command shows next available task after switching
- Universal --tag flag support across all commands
- Seamless migration with zero disruption
- Complete tag management suite (add, delete, rename, copy, list)
- Smart confirmation logic and data integrity protection
- State management and configuration integration
- Real-world use cases for teams, features, and releases
* feat(tags): Complete tag support for remaining CLI commands
- Add --tag flag to update, move, and set-status commands
- Ensure all task operation commands now support tag context
- Fix missing tag context passing to core functions
- Complete comprehensive tag-aware command coverage
* feat(ui): add tag indicator to all CLI commands
- shows 🏷️ tag: tagname for complete context visibility across 15+ commands
* fix(ui): resolve dependency 'Not found' issue when filtering
- now correctly displays dependencies that exist but are filtered out of view
* feat(research): Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with interactive follow-ups, save functionality, intelligent context gathering, fuzzy task discovery, multi-source context support, enhanced display with syntax highlighting, clean inquirer menus, comprehensive help, and MCP integration with saveTo parameter
* feat(tags): Implement full MCP support for Tagged Task Lists and update-task append mode
* chore: task management
* feat(research): Enhance research command with follow-up menu, save functionality, and fix ContextGatherer token counting
* feat(git-workflow): Add automatic git branch-tag integration
- Implement automatic tag creation when switching to new git branches
- Add branch-tag mapping system for seamless context switching
- Enable auto-switch of task contexts based on current git branch
- Provide isolated task contexts per branch to prevent merge conflicts
- Add configuration support for enabling/disabling git workflow features
- Fix ES module compatibility issues in git-utils module
- Maintain zero migration impact with automatic 'master' tag creation
- Support parallel development with branch-specific task contexts
The git workflow system automatically detects branch changes and creates corresponding empty task tags, enabling developers to maintain separate task contexts for different features/branches while preventing task-related merge conflicts during collaborative development.
Resolves git workflow integration requirements for multi-context development.
* feat(git-workflow): Simplify git integration with --from-branch option
- Remove automatic git workflow and branch-tag switching - we are not ready for it yet
- Add --from-branch option to add-tag command for manual tag creation from git branch
- Remove git workflow configuration from config.json and assets
- Disable automatic tag switching functions in git-utils.js
- Add createTagFromBranch function for branch-based tag creation
- Support both CLI and MCP interfaces for --from-branch functionality
- Fix ES module imports in git-utils.js and utils.js
- Maintain user control over tag contexts without forced automation
The simplified approach allows users to create tags from their current git branch when desired, without the complexity and rigidity of automatic branch-tag synchronization. Users maintain full control over their tag contexts while having convenient tools for git-based workflows when needed.
* docs: Update rule files to reflect simplified git integration approach
- Remove automatic git workflow features, update to manual --from-branch option, change Part 2 references to completed status
* fix(commands): Fix add-tag --from-branch requiring tagName argument
- Made tagName optional when using --from-branch - Added validation for either tagName or --from-branch
- Fixes 'missing required argument' error with --from-branch option
* fix(mcp): Prevent tag deletion on subtask update
Adds a safety net to the writeJSON utility to prevent data loss when updating subtasks via the MCP server.
The MCP process was inadvertently causing the _rawTaggedData property, which holds the complete multi-tag structure, to be lost. When writeJSON received the data for only a single tag, it would overwrite the entire tasks.json file, deleting all other tags.
This fix makes writeJSON more robust. If it receives data that looks like a single, resolved tag without the complete structure, it re-reads the full tasks.json file from disk. It then carefully merges the updated data back into the correct tag within the full structure, preserving all other tags.
* fix: resolve all remaining test failures and improve test reliability
- Fix clear-subtasks test by implementing deep copy of mock data to prevent mutation issues between tests
- Fix add-task test by uncommenting and properly configuring generateTaskFiles call with correct parameters
- Fix analyze-task-complexity tests by properly mocking fs.writeFileSync with shared mock function
- Update test expectations to match actual function signatures and data structures
- Improve mock setup consistency across all test suites
- Ensure all tests now pass (329 total: 318 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed)

refactor(expand/all): Implement additive expansion and complexity report integration
Refactors the `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks` features to complete subtask 61.38 and enhance functionality based on subtask 61.37's refactor.
Key Changes:
- **Additive Expansion (`expandTask`, `expandAllTasks`):**
- Modified `expandTask` default behavior to append newly generated subtasks to any existing ones.
- Added a `force` flag (passed down from CLI/MCP via `--force` option/parameter) to `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks`. When `force` is true, existing subtasks are cleared before generating new ones.
- Updated relevant CLI command (`expand`), MCP tool (`expand_task`, `expand_all`), and direct function wrappers (`expandTaskDirect`, `expandAllTasksDirect`) to handle and pass the `force` flag.
- **Complexity Report Integration (`expandTask`):**
- `expandTask` now reads `scripts/task-complexity-report.json`.
- If an analysis entry exists for the target task:
- `recommendedSubtasks` is used to determine the number of subtasks to generate (unless `--num` is explicitly provided).
- `expansionPrompt` is used as the primary prompt content for the AI.
- `reasoning` is appended to any additional context provided.
- If no report entry exists or the report is missing, it falls back to default subtask count (from config) and standard prompt generation.
- **`expandAllTasks` Orchestration:**
- Refactored `expandAllTasks` to primarily iterate through eligible tasks (pending/in-progress, considering `force` flag and existing subtasks) and call the updated `expandTask` function for each.
- Removed redundant logic (like complexity reading or explicit subtask clearing) now handled within `expandTask`.
- Ensures correct context (`session`, `mcpLog`) and flags (`useResearch`, `force`) are passed down.
- **Configuration & Cleanup:**
- Updated `.cursor/mcp.json` with new Perplexity/Anthropic API keys (old ones invalidated).
- Completed refactoring of `expandTask` started in 61.37, confirming usage of `generateTextService` and appropriate prompts.
- **Task Management:**
- Marked subtask 61.37 as complete.
- Updated `.changeset/cuddly-zebras-matter.md` to reflect user-facing changes.
These changes finalize the refactoring of the task expansion features, making them more robust, configurable via complexity analysis, and aligned with the unified AI service architecture.

- **Eliminate arbitrary limits** in fuzzy search results (5→25 high relevance, 3→10 medium relevance, 8→20 detailed tasks)
- **Improve semantic weighting** in Fuse.js search (details=3, description=2, title=1.5) for better relevance
- **Fix duplicate banner issue** by removing console.clear() and redundant displayBanner() calls from UI functions
- **Enhance context generation** to rely on semantic similarity rather than rigid pattern matching
- **Preserve terminal history** to address GitHub issue #553 about eating terminal lines
- **Remove displayBanner() calls** from: displayHelp, displayNextTask, displayTaskById, displayComplexityReport, set-task-status, clear-subtasks, dependency-manager functions

* feat(tags): Implement tagged task lists migration system (Part 1/2)
This commit introduces the foundational infrastructure for tagged task lists,
enabling multi-context task management without remote storage to prevent merge conflicts.
CORE ARCHITECTURE:
• Silent migration system transforms tasks.json from old format { "tasks": [...] }
to new tagged format { "master": { "tasks": [...] } }
• Tag resolution layer provides complete backward compatibility - existing code continues to work
• Automatic configuration and state management for seamless user experience
SILENT MIGRATION SYSTEM:
• Automatic detection and migration of legacy tasks.json format
• Complete project migration: tasks.json + config.json + state.json
• Transparent tag resolution returns old format to maintain compatibility
• Zero breaking changes - all existing functionality preserved
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT:
• Added global.defaultTag setting (defaults to 'master')
• New tags section with gitIntegration placeholders for future features
• Automatic config.json migration during first run
• Proper state.json creation with migration tracking
USER EXPERIENCE:
• Clean, one-time FYI notice after migration (no emojis, professional styling)
• Notice appears after 'Suggested Next Steps' and is tracked in state.json
• Silent operation - users unaware migration occurred unless explicitly shown
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
• Enhanced readJSON() with automatic migration detection and processing
• New utility functions: getCurrentTag(), resolveTag(), getTasksForTag(), setTasksForTag()
• Complete migration orchestration via performCompleteTagMigration()
• Robust error handling and fallback mechanisms
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY:
• 100% backward compatibility maintained
• Existing CLI commands and MCP tools continue to work unchanged
• Legacy tasks.json format automatically upgraded on first read
• All existing workflows preserved
TESTING VERIFIED:
• Complete migration from legacy state works correctly
• Config.json properly updated with tagged system settings
• State.json created with correct initial values
• Migration notice system functions as designed
• All existing functionality continues to work normally
Part 2 will implement tag management commands (add-tag, use-tag, list-tags)
and MCP tool updates for full tagged task system functionality.
Related: Task 103 - Implement Tagged Task Lists System for Multi-Context Task Management
* docs: Update documentation and rules for tagged task lists system
- Updated task-structure.md with comprehensive tagged format explanation
- Updated all .cursor/rules/*.mdc files to reflect tagged system
- Completed subtask 103.16: Update Documentation for Tagged Task Lists System
* feat(mcp): Add tagInfo to responses and integrate ContextGatherer
Enhances the MCP server to include 'tagInfo' (currentTag, availableTags) in all tool responses, providing better client-side context.
- Introduces a new 'ContextGatherer' utility to standardize the collection of file, task, and project context for AI-powered commands. This refactors several task-manager modules ('expand-task', 'research', 'update-task', etc.) to use the new utility.
- Fixes an issue in 'get-task' and 'get-tasks' MCP tools where the 'projectRoot' was not being passed correctly, preventing tag information from being included in their responses.
- Adds subtask '103.17' to track the implementation of the task template importing feature.
- Updates documentation ('.cursor/rules', 'docs/') to align with the new tagged task system and context gatherer logic.
* fix: include tagInfo in AI service responses for MCP tools
- Update all core functions that call AI services to extract and return tagInfo
- Update all direct functions to include tagInfo in MCP response data
- Fixes issue where add_task, expand_task, and other AI commands were not including current tag and available tags information
- tagInfo includes currentTag from state.json and availableTags list
- Ensures tagged task lists system information is properly propagated through the full chain: AI service -> core function -> direct function -> MCP client
* fix(move-task): Update move functionality for tagged task system compatibility
- incorporate GitHub commit fixes and resolve readJSON data handling
* feat(tagged-tasks): Complete core tag management system implementation
- Implements comprehensive tagged task lists system for multi-context task management including core tag management functions (Task 103.11), MCP integration updates, and foundational infrastructure for tagged task operations. Features tag CRUD operations, validation, metadata tracking, deep task copying, and full backward compatibility.
* fix(core): Fixed move-task.js writing _rawTaggedData directly, updated writeJSON to filter tag fields, fixed CLI move command missing projectRoot, added ensureTagMetadata utility
* fix(tasks): ensure list tasks triggers silent migration if necessary.
* feat(tags): Complete show and add-task command tag support
- show command: Added --tag flag, fixed projectRoot passing to UI functions
- add-task command: Already had proper tag support and projectRoot handling
- Both commands now work correctly with tagged task lists system
- Migration logic works properly when viewing and adding tasks
- Updated subtask 103.5 with progress on high-priority command fixes
* fix(tags): Clean up rogue created properties and fix taskCount calculation
- Enhanced writeJSON to automatically filter rogue created/description properties from tag objects
- Fixed tags command error by making taskCount calculation dynamic instead of hardcoded
- Cleaned up existing rogue created property in master tag through forced write operation
- All created properties now properly located in metadata objects only
- Tags command working perfectly with proper task count display
- Data integrity maintained with automatic cleanup during write operations
* fix(tags): Resolve critical tag deletion and migration notice bugs
Major Issues Fixed:
1. Tag Deletion Bug: Fixed critical issue where creating subtasks would delete other tags
- Root cause: writeJSON function wasn't accepting projectRoot/tag parameters
- Fixed writeJSON signature and logic to handle tagged data structure
- Added proper merging of resolved tag data back into full tagged structure
2. Persistent Migration Notice: Fixed FYI notice showing after every command
- Root cause: markMigrationForNotice was resetting migrationNoticeShown to false
- Fixed migration logic to only trigger on actual legacy->tagged migrations
- Added proper _rawTaggedData checks to prevent false migration detection
3. Data Corruption Prevention: Enhanced data integrity safeguards
- Fixed writeJSON to filter out internal properties
- Added automatic cleanup of rogue properties
- Improved hasTaggedStructure detection logic
Commands Fixed: add-subtask, remove-subtask, and all commands now preserve tags correctly
* fix(tags): Resolve tag deletion bug in remove-task command
Refactored the core 'removeTask' function to be fully tag-aware, preventing data corruption.
- The function now correctly reads the full tagged data structure by prioritizing '_rawTaggedData' instead of operating on a resolved single-tag view.
- All subsequent operations (task removal, dependency cleanup, file writing) now correctly reference the full multi-tag data object, preserving the integrity of 'tasks.json'.
- This resolves the critical bug where removing a task would delete all other tags.
* fix(tasks): Ensure new task IDs are sequential within the target tag
Modified the ID generation logic in 'add-task.js' to calculate the next task ID based on the highest ID within the specified tag, rather than globally across all tags.
This fixes a critical bug where creating a task in a new tag would result in a high, non-sequential ID, such as ID 105 for the first task in a tag.
* fix(commands): Add missing context parameters to dependency and remove-subtask commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to all dependency commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to remove-subtask command
- Add --tag option to remove-subtask command
- Fixes critical bug where remove-subtask was deleting other tags due to missing context
- All dependency and subtask commands now properly handle tagged task lists
* feat(tags): Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management
- parse-prd now supports creating tasks in specific contexts
- Fixed tag preservation logic to prevent data loss
- analyze-complexity generates tag-specific reports
- Non-existent tags created automatically
- Enables rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows
* feat(tags): Complete tagged task lists system with enhanced use-tag command
- Multi-context task management with full CLI support
- Enhanced use-tag command shows next available task after switching
- Universal --tag flag support across all commands
- Seamless migration with zero disruption
- Complete tag management suite (add, delete, rename, copy, list)
- Smart confirmation logic and data integrity protection
- State management and configuration integration
- Real-world use cases for teams, features, and releases
* feat(tags): Complete tag support for remaining CLI commands
- Add --tag flag to update, move, and set-status commands
- Ensure all task operation commands now support tag context
- Fix missing tag context passing to core functions
- Complete comprehensive tag-aware command coverage
* feat(ui): add tag indicator to all CLI commands
- shows 🏷️ tag: tagname for complete context visibility across 15+ commands
* fix(ui): resolve dependency 'Not found' issue when filtering
- now correctly displays dependencies that exist but are filtered out of view
* feat(research): Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with interactive follow-ups, save functionality, intelligent context gathering, fuzzy task discovery, multi-source context support, enhanced display with syntax highlighting, clean inquirer menus, comprehensive help, and MCP integration with saveTo parameter
* feat(tags): Implement full MCP support for Tagged Task Lists and update-task append mode
* chore: task management
* feat(research): Enhance research command with follow-up menu, save functionality, and fix ContextGatherer token counting
* feat(git-workflow): Add automatic git branch-tag integration
- Implement automatic tag creation when switching to new git branches
- Add branch-tag mapping system for seamless context switching
- Enable auto-switch of task contexts based on current git branch
- Provide isolated task contexts per branch to prevent merge conflicts
- Add configuration support for enabling/disabling git workflow features
- Fix ES module compatibility issues in git-utils module
- Maintain zero migration impact with automatic 'master' tag creation
- Support parallel development with branch-specific task contexts
The git workflow system automatically detects branch changes and creates corresponding empty task tags, enabling developers to maintain separate task contexts for different features/branches while preventing task-related merge conflicts during collaborative development.
Resolves git workflow integration requirements for multi-context development.
* feat(git-workflow): Simplify git integration with --from-branch option
- Remove automatic git workflow and branch-tag switching - we are not ready for it yet
- Add --from-branch option to add-tag command for manual tag creation from git branch
- Remove git workflow configuration from config.json and assets
- Disable automatic tag switching functions in git-utils.js
- Add createTagFromBranch function for branch-based tag creation
- Support both CLI and MCP interfaces for --from-branch functionality
- Fix ES module imports in git-utils.js and utils.js
- Maintain user control over tag contexts without forced automation
The simplified approach allows users to create tags from their current git branch when desired, without the complexity and rigidity of automatic branch-tag synchronization. Users maintain full control over their tag contexts while having convenient tools for git-based workflows when needed.
* docs: Update rule files to reflect simplified git integration approach
- Remove automatic git workflow features, update to manual --from-branch option, change Part 2 references to completed status
* fix(commands): Fix add-tag --from-branch requiring tagName argument
- Made tagName optional when using --from-branch - Added validation for either tagName or --from-branch
- Fixes 'missing required argument' error with --from-branch option
* fix(mcp): Prevent tag deletion on subtask update
Adds a safety net to the writeJSON utility to prevent data loss when updating subtasks via the MCP server.
The MCP process was inadvertently causing the _rawTaggedData property, which holds the complete multi-tag structure, to be lost. When writeJSON received the data for only a single tag, it would overwrite the entire tasks.json file, deleting all other tags.
This fix makes writeJSON more robust. If it receives data that looks like a single, resolved tag without the complete structure, it re-reads the full tasks.json file from disk. It then carefully merges the updated data back into the correct tag within the full structure, preserving all other tags.
* fix: resolve all remaining test failures and improve test reliability
- Fix clear-subtasks test by implementing deep copy of mock data to prevent mutation issues between tests
- Fix add-task test by uncommenting and properly configuring generateTaskFiles call with correct parameters
- Fix analyze-task-complexity tests by properly mocking fs.writeFileSync with shared mock function
- Update test expectations to match actual function signatures and data structures
- Improve mock setup consistency across all test suites
- Ensure all tests now pass (329 total: 318 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed)

refactor(expand/all): Implement additive expansion and complexity report integration
Refactors the `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks` features to complete subtask 61.38 and enhance functionality based on subtask 61.37's refactor.
Key Changes:
- **Additive Expansion (`expandTask`, `expandAllTasks`):**
- Modified `expandTask` default behavior to append newly generated subtasks to any existing ones.
- Added a `force` flag (passed down from CLI/MCP via `--force` option/parameter) to `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks`. When `force` is true, existing subtasks are cleared before generating new ones.
- Updated relevant CLI command (`expand`), MCP tool (`expand_task`, `expand_all`), and direct function wrappers (`expandTaskDirect`, `expandAllTasksDirect`) to handle and pass the `force` flag.
- **Complexity Report Integration (`expandTask`):**
- `expandTask` now reads `scripts/task-complexity-report.json`.
- If an analysis entry exists for the target task:
- `recommendedSubtasks` is used to determine the number of subtasks to generate (unless `--num` is explicitly provided).
- `expansionPrompt` is used as the primary prompt content for the AI.
- `reasoning` is appended to any additional context provided.
- If no report entry exists or the report is missing, it falls back to default subtask count (from config) and standard prompt generation.
- **`expandAllTasks` Orchestration:**
- Refactored `expandAllTasks` to primarily iterate through eligible tasks (pending/in-progress, considering `force` flag and existing subtasks) and call the updated `expandTask` function for each.
- Removed redundant logic (like complexity reading or explicit subtask clearing) now handled within `expandTask`.
- Ensures correct context (`session`, `mcpLog`) and flags (`useResearch`, `force`) are passed down.
- **Configuration & Cleanup:**
- Updated `.cursor/mcp.json` with new Perplexity/Anthropic API keys (old ones invalidated).
- Completed refactoring of `expandTask` started in 61.37, confirming usage of `generateTextService` and appropriate prompts.
- **Task Management:**
- Marked subtask 61.37 as complete.
- Updated `.changeset/cuddly-zebras-matter.md` to reflect user-facing changes.
These changes finalize the refactoring of the task expansion features, making them more robust, configurable via complexity analysis, and aligned with the unified AI service architecture.

* refactor: enhance add-task fuzzy search and fix duplicate banner display
- **Remove hardcoded category system** in add-task that always matched 'Task management'
- **Eliminate arbitrary limits** in fuzzy search results (5→25 high relevance, 3→10 medium relevance, 8→20 detailed tasks)
- **Improve semantic weighting** in Fuse.js search (details=3, description=2, title=1.5) for better relevance
- **Fix duplicate banner issue** by removing console.clear() and redundant displayBanner() calls from UI functions
- **Enhance context generation** to rely on semantic similarity rather than rigid pattern matching
- **Preserve terminal history** to address GitHub issue #553 about eating terminal lines
- **Remove displayBanner() calls** from: displayHelp, displayNextTask, displayTaskById, displayComplexityReport, set-task-status, clear-subtasks, dependency-manager functions
The add-task system now provides truly relevant task context based on semantic similarity rather than arbitrary categories and limits, while maintaining a cleaner terminal experience.
Changes span: add-task.js, ui.js, set-task-status.js, clear-subtasks.js, list-tasks.js, dependency-manager.js

* feat(tags): Implement tagged task lists migration system (Part 1/2)
This commit introduces the foundational infrastructure for tagged task lists,
enabling multi-context task management without remote storage to prevent merge conflicts.
CORE ARCHITECTURE:
• Silent migration system transforms tasks.json from old format { "tasks": [...] }
to new tagged format { "master": { "tasks": [...] } }
• Tag resolution layer provides complete backward compatibility - existing code continues to work
• Automatic configuration and state management for seamless user experience
SILENT MIGRATION SYSTEM:
• Automatic detection and migration of legacy tasks.json format
• Complete project migration: tasks.json + config.json + state.json
• Transparent tag resolution returns old format to maintain compatibility
• Zero breaking changes - all existing functionality preserved
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT:
• Added global.defaultTag setting (defaults to 'master')
• New tags section with gitIntegration placeholders for future features
• Automatic config.json migration during first run
• Proper state.json creation with migration tracking
USER EXPERIENCE:
• Clean, one-time FYI notice after migration (no emojis, professional styling)
• Notice appears after 'Suggested Next Steps' and is tracked in state.json
• Silent operation - users unaware migration occurred unless explicitly shown
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
• Enhanced readJSON() with automatic migration detection and processing
• New utility functions: getCurrentTag(), resolveTag(), getTasksForTag(), setTasksForTag()
• Complete migration orchestration via performCompleteTagMigration()
• Robust error handling and fallback mechanisms
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY:
• 100% backward compatibility maintained
• Existing CLI commands and MCP tools continue to work unchanged
• Legacy tasks.json format automatically upgraded on first read
• All existing workflows preserved
TESTING VERIFIED:
• Complete migration from legacy state works correctly
• Config.json properly updated with tagged system settings
• State.json created with correct initial values
• Migration notice system functions as designed
• All existing functionality continues to work normally
Part 2 will implement tag management commands (add-tag, use-tag, list-tags)
and MCP tool updates for full tagged task system functionality.
Related: Task 103 - Implement Tagged Task Lists System for Multi-Context Task Management
* docs: Update documentation and rules for tagged task lists system
- Updated task-structure.md with comprehensive tagged format explanation
- Updated all .cursor/rules/*.mdc files to reflect tagged system
- Completed subtask 103.16: Update Documentation for Tagged Task Lists System
* feat(mcp): Add tagInfo to responses and integrate ContextGatherer
Enhances the MCP server to include 'tagInfo' (currentTag, availableTags) in all tool responses, providing better client-side context.
- Introduces a new 'ContextGatherer' utility to standardize the collection of file, task, and project context for AI-powered commands. This refactors several task-manager modules ('expand-task', 'research', 'update-task', etc.) to use the new utility.
- Fixes an issue in 'get-task' and 'get-tasks' MCP tools where the 'projectRoot' was not being passed correctly, preventing tag information from being included in their responses.
- Adds subtask '103.17' to track the implementation of the task template importing feature.
- Updates documentation ('.cursor/rules', 'docs/') to align with the new tagged task system and context gatherer logic.
* fix: include tagInfo in AI service responses for MCP tools
- Update all core functions that call AI services to extract and return tagInfo
- Update all direct functions to include tagInfo in MCP response data
- Fixes issue where add_task, expand_task, and other AI commands were not including current tag and available tags information
- tagInfo includes currentTag from state.json and availableTags list
- Ensures tagged task lists system information is properly propagated through the full chain: AI service -> core function -> direct function -> MCP client
* fix(move-task): Update move functionality for tagged task system compatibility
- incorporate GitHub commit fixes and resolve readJSON data handling
* feat(tagged-tasks): Complete core tag management system implementation
- Implements comprehensive tagged task lists system for multi-context task management including core tag management functions (Task 103.11), MCP integration updates, and foundational infrastructure for tagged task operations. Features tag CRUD operations, validation, metadata tracking, deep task copying, and full backward compatibility.
* fix(core): Fixed move-task.js writing _rawTaggedData directly, updated writeJSON to filter tag fields, fixed CLI move command missing projectRoot, added ensureTagMetadata utility
* fix(tasks): ensure list tasks triggers silent migration if necessary.
* feat(tags): Complete show and add-task command tag support
- show command: Added --tag flag, fixed projectRoot passing to UI functions
- add-task command: Already had proper tag support and projectRoot handling
- Both commands now work correctly with tagged task lists system
- Migration logic works properly when viewing and adding tasks
- Updated subtask 103.5 with progress on high-priority command fixes
* fix(tags): Clean up rogue created properties and fix taskCount calculation
- Enhanced writeJSON to automatically filter rogue created/description properties from tag objects
- Fixed tags command error by making taskCount calculation dynamic instead of hardcoded
- Cleaned up existing rogue created property in master tag through forced write operation
- All created properties now properly located in metadata objects only
- Tags command working perfectly with proper task count display
- Data integrity maintained with automatic cleanup during write operations
* fix(tags): Resolve critical tag deletion and migration notice bugs
Major Issues Fixed:
1. Tag Deletion Bug: Fixed critical issue where creating subtasks would delete other tags
- Root cause: writeJSON function wasn't accepting projectRoot/tag parameters
- Fixed writeJSON signature and logic to handle tagged data structure
- Added proper merging of resolved tag data back into full tagged structure
2. Persistent Migration Notice: Fixed FYI notice showing after every command
- Root cause: markMigrationForNotice was resetting migrationNoticeShown to false
- Fixed migration logic to only trigger on actual legacy->tagged migrations
- Added proper _rawTaggedData checks to prevent false migration detection
3. Data Corruption Prevention: Enhanced data integrity safeguards
- Fixed writeJSON to filter out internal properties
- Added automatic cleanup of rogue properties
- Improved hasTaggedStructure detection logic
Commands Fixed: add-subtask, remove-subtask, and all commands now preserve tags correctly
* fix(tags): Resolve tag deletion bug in remove-task command
Refactored the core 'removeTask' function to be fully tag-aware, preventing data corruption.
- The function now correctly reads the full tagged data structure by prioritizing '_rawTaggedData' instead of operating on a resolved single-tag view.
- All subsequent operations (task removal, dependency cleanup, file writing) now correctly reference the full multi-tag data object, preserving the integrity of 'tasks.json'.
- This resolves the critical bug where removing a task would delete all other tags.
* fix(tasks): Ensure new task IDs are sequential within the target tag
Modified the ID generation logic in 'add-task.js' to calculate the next task ID based on the highest ID within the specified tag, rather than globally across all tags.
This fixes a critical bug where creating a task in a new tag would result in a high, non-sequential ID, such as ID 105 for the first task in a tag.
* fix(commands): Add missing context parameters to dependency and remove-subtask commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to all dependency commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to remove-subtask command
- Add --tag option to remove-subtask command
- Fixes critical bug where remove-subtask was deleting other tags due to missing context
- All dependency and subtask commands now properly handle tagged task lists
* feat(tags): Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management
- parse-prd now supports creating tasks in specific contexts
- Fixed tag preservation logic to prevent data loss
- analyze-complexity generates tag-specific reports
- Non-existent tags created automatically
- Enables rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows
* feat(tags): Complete tagged task lists system with enhanced use-tag command
- Multi-context task management with full CLI support
- Enhanced use-tag command shows next available task after switching
- Universal --tag flag support across all commands
- Seamless migration with zero disruption
- Complete tag management suite (add, delete, rename, copy, list)
- Smart confirmation logic and data integrity protection
- State management and configuration integration
- Real-world use cases for teams, features, and releases
* feat(tags): Complete tag support for remaining CLI commands
- Add --tag flag to update, move, and set-status commands
- Ensure all task operation commands now support tag context
- Fix missing tag context passing to core functions
- Complete comprehensive tag-aware command coverage
* feat(ui): add tag indicator to all CLI commands
- shows 🏷️ tag: tagname for complete context visibility across 15+ commands
* fix(ui): resolve dependency 'Not found' issue when filtering
- now correctly displays dependencies that exist but are filtered out of view
* feat(research): Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with interactive follow-ups, save functionality, intelligent context gathering, fuzzy task discovery, multi-source context support, enhanced display with syntax highlighting, clean inquirer menus, comprehensive help, and MCP integration with saveTo parameter
* feat(tags): Implement full MCP support for Tagged Task Lists and update-task append mode
* chore: task management
* feat(research): Enhance research command with follow-up menu, save functionality, and fix ContextGatherer token counting
* feat(git-workflow): Add automatic git branch-tag integration
- Implement automatic tag creation when switching to new git branches
- Add branch-tag mapping system for seamless context switching
- Enable auto-switch of task contexts based on current git branch
- Provide isolated task contexts per branch to prevent merge conflicts
- Add configuration support for enabling/disabling git workflow features
- Fix ES module compatibility issues in git-utils module
- Maintain zero migration impact with automatic 'master' tag creation
- Support parallel development with branch-specific task contexts
The git workflow system automatically detects branch changes and creates corresponding empty task tags, enabling developers to maintain separate task contexts for different features/branches while preventing task-related merge conflicts during collaborative development.
Resolves git workflow integration requirements for multi-context development.
* feat(git-workflow): Simplify git integration with --from-branch option
- Remove automatic git workflow and branch-tag switching - we are not ready for it yet
- Add --from-branch option to add-tag command for manual tag creation from git branch
- Remove git workflow configuration from config.json and assets
- Disable automatic tag switching functions in git-utils.js
- Add createTagFromBranch function for branch-based tag creation
- Support both CLI and MCP interfaces for --from-branch functionality
- Fix ES module imports in git-utils.js and utils.js
- Maintain user control over tag contexts without forced automation
The simplified approach allows users to create tags from their current git branch when desired, without the complexity and rigidity of automatic branch-tag synchronization. Users maintain full control over their tag contexts while having convenient tools for git-based workflows when needed.
* docs: Update rule files to reflect simplified git integration approach
- Remove automatic git workflow features, update to manual --from-branch option, change Part 2 references to completed status
* fix(commands): Fix add-tag --from-branch requiring tagName argument
- Made tagName optional when using --from-branch - Added validation for either tagName or --from-branch
- Fixes 'missing required argument' error with --from-branch option
* fix(mcp): Prevent tag deletion on subtask update
Adds a safety net to the writeJSON utility to prevent data loss when updating subtasks via the MCP server.
The MCP process was inadvertently causing the _rawTaggedData property, which holds the complete multi-tag structure, to be lost. When writeJSON received the data for only a single tag, it would overwrite the entire tasks.json file, deleting all other tags.
This fix makes writeJSON more robust. If it receives data that looks like a single, resolved tag without the complete structure, it re-reads the full tasks.json file from disk. It then carefully merges the updated data back into the correct tag within the full structure, preserving all other tags.
* fix: resolve all remaining test failures and improve test reliability
- Fix clear-subtasks test by implementing deep copy of mock data to prevent mutation issues between tests
- Fix add-task test by uncommenting and properly configuring generateTaskFiles call with correct parameters
- Fix analyze-task-complexity tests by properly mocking fs.writeFileSync with shared mock function
- Update test expectations to match actual function signatures and data structures
- Improve mock setup consistency across all test suites
- Ensure all tests now pass (329 total: 318 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed)

refactor(expand/all): Implement additive expansion and complexity report integration
Refactors the `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks` features to complete subtask 61.38 and enhance functionality based on subtask 61.37's refactor.
Key Changes:
- **Additive Expansion (`expandTask`, `expandAllTasks`):**
- Modified `expandTask` default behavior to append newly generated subtasks to any existing ones.
- Added a `force` flag (passed down from CLI/MCP via `--force` option/parameter) to `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks`. When `force` is true, existing subtasks are cleared before generating new ones.
- Updated relevant CLI command (`expand`), MCP tool (`expand_task`, `expand_all`), and direct function wrappers (`expandTaskDirect`, `expandAllTasksDirect`) to handle and pass the `force` flag.
- **Complexity Report Integration (`expandTask`):**
- `expandTask` now reads `scripts/task-complexity-report.json`.
- If an analysis entry exists for the target task:
- `recommendedSubtasks` is used to determine the number of subtasks to generate (unless `--num` is explicitly provided).
- `expansionPrompt` is used as the primary prompt content for the AI.
- `reasoning` is appended to any additional context provided.
- If no report entry exists or the report is missing, it falls back to default subtask count (from config) and standard prompt generation.
- **`expandAllTasks` Orchestration:**
- Refactored `expandAllTasks` to primarily iterate through eligible tasks (pending/in-progress, considering `force` flag and existing subtasks) and call the updated `expandTask` function for each.
- Removed redundant logic (like complexity reading or explicit subtask clearing) now handled within `expandTask`.
- Ensures correct context (`session`, `mcpLog`) and flags (`useResearch`, `force`) are passed down.
- **Configuration & Cleanup:**
- Updated `.cursor/mcp.json` with new Perplexity/Anthropic API keys (old ones invalidated).
- Completed refactoring of `expandTask` started in 61.37, confirming usage of `generateTextService` and appropriate prompts.
- **Task Management:**
- Marked subtask 61.37 as complete.
- Updated `.changeset/cuddly-zebras-matter.md` to reflect user-facing changes.
These changes finalize the refactoring of the task expansion features, making them more robust, configurable via complexity analysis, and aligned with the unified AI service architecture.

* chore: adds a warning when custom openrouter model is a free model which suffers from lower rate limits, restricted context, and, worst of all, no access to tool_use.
* refactor: enhance add-task fuzzy search and fix duplicate banner display
- **Remove hardcoded category system** in add-task that always matched 'Task management'
- **Eliminate arbitrary limits** in fuzzy search results (5→25 high relevance, 3→10 medium relevance, 8→20 detailed tasks)
- **Improve semantic weighting** in Fuse.js search (details=3, description=2, title=1.5) for better relevance
- **Fix duplicate banner issue** by removing console.clear() and redundant displayBanner() calls from UI functions
- **Enhance context generation** to rely on semantic similarity rather than rigid pattern matching
- **Preserve terminal history** to address GitHub issue #553 about eating terminal lines
- **Remove displayBanner() calls** from: displayHelp, displayNextTask, displayTaskById, displayComplexityReport, set-task-status, clear-subtasks, dependency-manager functions
The add-task system now provides truly relevant task context based on semantic similarity rather than arbitrary categories and limits, while maintaining a cleaner terminal experience.

* feat(tags): Implement tagged task lists migration system (Part 1/2)
This commit introduces the foundational infrastructure for tagged task lists,
enabling multi-context task management without remote storage to prevent merge conflicts.
CORE ARCHITECTURE:
• Silent migration system transforms tasks.json from old format { "tasks": [...] }
to new tagged format { "master": { "tasks": [...] } }
• Tag resolution layer provides complete backward compatibility - existing code continues to work
• Automatic configuration and state management for seamless user experience
SILENT MIGRATION SYSTEM:
• Automatic detection and migration of legacy tasks.json format
• Complete project migration: tasks.json + config.json + state.json
• Transparent tag resolution returns old format to maintain compatibility
• Zero breaking changes - all existing functionality preserved
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT:
• Added global.defaultTag setting (defaults to 'master')
• New tags section with gitIntegration placeholders for future features
• Automatic config.json migration during first run
• Proper state.json creation with migration tracking
USER EXPERIENCE:
• Clean, one-time FYI notice after migration (no emojis, professional styling)
• Notice appears after 'Suggested Next Steps' and is tracked in state.json
• Silent operation - users unaware migration occurred unless explicitly shown
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
• Enhanced readJSON() with automatic migration detection and processing
• New utility functions: getCurrentTag(), resolveTag(), getTasksForTag(), setTasksForTag()
• Complete migration orchestration via performCompleteTagMigration()
• Robust error handling and fallback mechanisms
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY:
• 100% backward compatibility maintained
• Existing CLI commands and MCP tools continue to work unchanged
• Legacy tasks.json format automatically upgraded on first read
• All existing workflows preserved
TESTING VERIFIED:
• Complete migration from legacy state works correctly
• Config.json properly updated with tagged system settings
• State.json created with correct initial values
• Migration notice system functions as designed
• All existing functionality continues to work normally
Part 2 will implement tag management commands (add-tag, use-tag, list-tags)
and MCP tool updates for full tagged task system functionality.
Related: Task 103 - Implement Tagged Task Lists System for Multi-Context Task Management
* docs: Update documentation and rules for tagged task lists system
- Updated task-structure.md with comprehensive tagged format explanation
- Updated all .cursor/rules/*.mdc files to reflect tagged system
- Completed subtask 103.16: Update Documentation for Tagged Task Lists System
* feat(mcp): Add tagInfo to responses and integrate ContextGatherer
Enhances the MCP server to include 'tagInfo' (currentTag, availableTags) in all tool responses, providing better client-side context.
- Introduces a new 'ContextGatherer' utility to standardize the collection of file, task, and project context for AI-powered commands. This refactors several task-manager modules ('expand-task', 'research', 'update-task', etc.) to use the new utility.
- Fixes an issue in 'get-task' and 'get-tasks' MCP tools where the 'projectRoot' was not being passed correctly, preventing tag information from being included in their responses.
- Adds subtask '103.17' to track the implementation of the task template importing feature.
- Updates documentation ('.cursor/rules', 'docs/') to align with the new tagged task system and context gatherer logic.
* fix: include tagInfo in AI service responses for MCP tools
- Update all core functions that call AI services to extract and return tagInfo
- Update all direct functions to include tagInfo in MCP response data
- Fixes issue where add_task, expand_task, and other AI commands were not including current tag and available tags information
- tagInfo includes currentTag from state.json and availableTags list
- Ensures tagged task lists system information is properly propagated through the full chain: AI service -> core function -> direct function -> MCP client
* fix(move-task): Update move functionality for tagged task system compatibility
- incorporate GitHub commit fixes and resolve readJSON data handling
* feat(tagged-tasks): Complete core tag management system implementation
- Implements comprehensive tagged task lists system for multi-context task management including core tag management functions (Task 103.11), MCP integration updates, and foundational infrastructure for tagged task operations. Features tag CRUD operations, validation, metadata tracking, deep task copying, and full backward compatibility.
* fix(core): Fixed move-task.js writing _rawTaggedData directly, updated writeJSON to filter tag fields, fixed CLI move command missing projectRoot, added ensureTagMetadata utility
* fix(tasks): ensure list tasks triggers silent migration if necessary.
* feat(tags): Complete show and add-task command tag support
- show command: Added --tag flag, fixed projectRoot passing to UI functions
- add-task command: Already had proper tag support and projectRoot handling
- Both commands now work correctly with tagged task lists system
- Migration logic works properly when viewing and adding tasks
- Updated subtask 103.5 with progress on high-priority command fixes
* fix(tags): Clean up rogue created properties and fix taskCount calculation
- Enhanced writeJSON to automatically filter rogue created/description properties from tag objects
- Fixed tags command error by making taskCount calculation dynamic instead of hardcoded
- Cleaned up existing rogue created property in master tag through forced write operation
- All created properties now properly located in metadata objects only
- Tags command working perfectly with proper task count display
- Data integrity maintained with automatic cleanup during write operations
* fix(tags): Resolve critical tag deletion and migration notice bugs
Major Issues Fixed:
1. Tag Deletion Bug: Fixed critical issue where creating subtasks would delete other tags
- Root cause: writeJSON function wasn't accepting projectRoot/tag parameters
- Fixed writeJSON signature and logic to handle tagged data structure
- Added proper merging of resolved tag data back into full tagged structure
2. Persistent Migration Notice: Fixed FYI notice showing after every command
- Root cause: markMigrationForNotice was resetting migrationNoticeShown to false
- Fixed migration logic to only trigger on actual legacy->tagged migrations
- Added proper _rawTaggedData checks to prevent false migration detection
3. Data Corruption Prevention: Enhanced data integrity safeguards
- Fixed writeJSON to filter out internal properties
- Added automatic cleanup of rogue properties
- Improved hasTaggedStructure detection logic
Commands Fixed: add-subtask, remove-subtask, and all commands now preserve tags correctly
* fix(tags): Resolve tag deletion bug in remove-task command
Refactored the core 'removeTask' function to be fully tag-aware, preventing data corruption.
- The function now correctly reads the full tagged data structure by prioritizing '_rawTaggedData' instead of operating on a resolved single-tag view.
- All subsequent operations (task removal, dependency cleanup, file writing) now correctly reference the full multi-tag data object, preserving the integrity of 'tasks.json'.
- This resolves the critical bug where removing a task would delete all other tags.
* fix(tasks): Ensure new task IDs are sequential within the target tag
Modified the ID generation logic in 'add-task.js' to calculate the next task ID based on the highest ID within the specified tag, rather than globally across all tags.
This fixes a critical bug where creating a task in a new tag would result in a high, non-sequential ID, such as ID 105 for the first task in a tag.
* fix(commands): Add missing context parameters to dependency and remove-subtask commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to all dependency commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to remove-subtask command
- Add --tag option to remove-subtask command
- Fixes critical bug where remove-subtask was deleting other tags due to missing context
- All dependency and subtask commands now properly handle tagged task lists
* feat(tags): Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management
- parse-prd now supports creating tasks in specific contexts
- Fixed tag preservation logic to prevent data loss
- analyze-complexity generates tag-specific reports
- Non-existent tags created automatically
- Enables rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows
* feat(tags): Complete tagged task lists system with enhanced use-tag command
- Multi-context task management with full CLI support
- Enhanced use-tag command shows next available task after switching
- Universal --tag flag support across all commands
- Seamless migration with zero disruption
- Complete tag management suite (add, delete, rename, copy, list)
- Smart confirmation logic and data integrity protection
- State management and configuration integration
- Real-world use cases for teams, features, and releases
* feat(tags): Complete tag support for remaining CLI commands
- Add --tag flag to update, move, and set-status commands
- Ensure all task operation commands now support tag context
- Fix missing tag context passing to core functions
- Complete comprehensive tag-aware command coverage
* feat(ui): add tag indicator to all CLI commands
- shows 🏷️ tag: tagname for complete context visibility across 15+ commands
* fix(ui): resolve dependency 'Not found' issue when filtering
- now correctly displays dependencies that exist but are filtered out of view
* feat(research): Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with interactive follow-ups, save functionality, intelligent context gathering, fuzzy task discovery, multi-source context support, enhanced display with syntax highlighting, clean inquirer menus, comprehensive help, and MCP integration with saveTo parameter
* feat(tags): Implement full MCP support for Tagged Task Lists and update-task append mode
* chore: task management
* feat(research): Enhance research command with follow-up menu, save functionality, and fix ContextGatherer token counting
* feat(git-workflow): Add automatic git branch-tag integration
- Implement automatic tag creation when switching to new git branches
- Add branch-tag mapping system for seamless context switching
- Enable auto-switch of task contexts based on current git branch
- Provide isolated task contexts per branch to prevent merge conflicts
- Add configuration support for enabling/disabling git workflow features
- Fix ES module compatibility issues in git-utils module
- Maintain zero migration impact with automatic 'master' tag creation
- Support parallel development with branch-specific task contexts
The git workflow system automatically detects branch changes and creates corresponding empty task tags, enabling developers to maintain separate task contexts for different features/branches while preventing task-related merge conflicts during collaborative development.
Resolves git workflow integration requirements for multi-context development.
* feat(git-workflow): Simplify git integration with --from-branch option
- Remove automatic git workflow and branch-tag switching - we are not ready for it yet
- Add --from-branch option to add-tag command for manual tag creation from git branch
- Remove git workflow configuration from config.json and assets
- Disable automatic tag switching functions in git-utils.js
- Add createTagFromBranch function for branch-based tag creation
- Support both CLI and MCP interfaces for --from-branch functionality
- Fix ES module imports in git-utils.js and utils.js
- Maintain user control over tag contexts without forced automation
The simplified approach allows users to create tags from their current git branch when desired, without the complexity and rigidity of automatic branch-tag synchronization. Users maintain full control over their tag contexts while having convenient tools for git-based workflows when needed.
* docs: Update rule files to reflect simplified git integration approach
- Remove automatic git workflow features, update to manual --from-branch option, change Part 2 references to completed status
* fix(commands): Fix add-tag --from-branch requiring tagName argument
- Made tagName optional when using --from-branch - Added validation for either tagName or --from-branch
- Fixes 'missing required argument' error with --from-branch option
* fix(mcp): Prevent tag deletion on subtask update
Adds a safety net to the writeJSON utility to prevent data loss when updating subtasks via the MCP server.
The MCP process was inadvertently causing the _rawTaggedData property, which holds the complete multi-tag structure, to be lost. When writeJSON received the data for only a single tag, it would overwrite the entire tasks.json file, deleting all other tags.
This fix makes writeJSON more robust. If it receives data that looks like a single, resolved tag without the complete structure, it re-reads the full tasks.json file from disk. It then carefully merges the updated data back into the correct tag within the full structure, preserving all other tags.
* fix: resolve all remaining test failures and improve test reliability
- Fix clear-subtasks test by implementing deep copy of mock data to prevent mutation issues between tests
- Fix add-task test by uncommenting and properly configuring generateTaskFiles call with correct parameters
- Fix analyze-task-complexity tests by properly mocking fs.writeFileSync with shared mock function
- Update test expectations to match actual function signatures and data structures
- Improve mock setup consistency across all test suites
- Ensure all tests now pass (329 total: 318 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed)

refactor(expand/all): Implement additive expansion and complexity report integration
Refactors the `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks` features to complete subtask 61.38 and enhance functionality based on subtask 61.37's refactor.
Key Changes:
- **Additive Expansion (`expandTask`, `expandAllTasks`):**
- Modified `expandTask` default behavior to append newly generated subtasks to any existing ones.
- Added a `force` flag (passed down from CLI/MCP via `--force` option/parameter) to `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks`. When `force` is true, existing subtasks are cleared before generating new ones.
- Updated relevant CLI command (`expand`), MCP tool (`expand_task`, `expand_all`), and direct function wrappers (`expandTaskDirect`, `expandAllTasksDirect`) to handle and pass the `force` flag.
- **Complexity Report Integration (`expandTask`):**
- `expandTask` now reads `scripts/task-complexity-report.json`.
- If an analysis entry exists for the target task:
- `recommendedSubtasks` is used to determine the number of subtasks to generate (unless `--num` is explicitly provided).
- `expansionPrompt` is used as the primary prompt content for the AI.
- `reasoning` is appended to any additional context provided.
- If no report entry exists or the report is missing, it falls back to default subtask count (from config) and standard prompt generation.
- **`expandAllTasks` Orchestration:**
- Refactored `expandAllTasks` to primarily iterate through eligible tasks (pending/in-progress, considering `force` flag and existing subtasks) and call the updated `expandTask` function for each.
- Removed redundant logic (like complexity reading or explicit subtask clearing) now handled within `expandTask`.
- Ensures correct context (`session`, `mcpLog`) and flags (`useResearch`, `force`) are passed down.
- **Configuration & Cleanup:**
- Updated `.cursor/mcp.json` with new Perplexity/Anthropic API keys (old ones invalidated).
- Completed refactoring of `expandTask` started in 61.37, confirming usage of `generateTextService` and appropriate prompts.
- **Task Management:**
- Marked subtask 61.37 as complete.
- Updated `.changeset/cuddly-zebras-matter.md` to reflect user-facing changes.
These changes finalize the refactoring of the task expansion features, making them more robust, configurable via complexity analysis, and aligned with the unified AI service architecture.

* feat(tags): Implement tagged task lists migration system (Part 1/2)
This commit introduces the foundational infrastructure for tagged task lists,
enabling multi-context task management without remote storage to prevent merge conflicts.
CORE ARCHITECTURE:
• Silent migration system transforms tasks.json from old format { "tasks": [...] }
to new tagged format { "master": { "tasks": [...] } }
• Tag resolution layer provides complete backward compatibility - existing code continues to work
• Automatic configuration and state management for seamless user experience
SILENT MIGRATION SYSTEM:
• Automatic detection and migration of legacy tasks.json format
• Complete project migration: tasks.json + config.json + state.json
• Transparent tag resolution returns old format to maintain compatibility
• Zero breaking changes - all existing functionality preserved
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT:
• Added global.defaultTag setting (defaults to 'master')
• New tags section with gitIntegration placeholders for future features
• Automatic config.json migration during first run
• Proper state.json creation with migration tracking
USER EXPERIENCE:
• Clean, one-time FYI notice after migration (no emojis, professional styling)
• Notice appears after 'Suggested Next Steps' and is tracked in state.json
• Silent operation - users unaware migration occurred unless explicitly shown
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
• Enhanced readJSON() with automatic migration detection and processing
• New utility functions: getCurrentTag(), resolveTag(), getTasksForTag(), setTasksForTag()
• Complete migration orchestration via performCompleteTagMigration()
• Robust error handling and fallback mechanisms
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY:
• 100% backward compatibility maintained
• Existing CLI commands and MCP tools continue to work unchanged
• Legacy tasks.json format automatically upgraded on first read
• All existing workflows preserved
TESTING VERIFIED:
• Complete migration from legacy state works correctly
• Config.json properly updated with tagged system settings
• State.json created with correct initial values
• Migration notice system functions as designed
• All existing functionality continues to work normally
Part 2 will implement tag management commands (add-tag, use-tag, list-tags)
and MCP tool updates for full tagged task system functionality.
Related: Task 103 - Implement Tagged Task Lists System for Multi-Context Task Management
* docs: Update documentation and rules for tagged task lists system
- Updated task-structure.md with comprehensive tagged format explanation
- Updated all .cursor/rules/*.mdc files to reflect tagged system
- Completed subtask 103.16: Update Documentation for Tagged Task Lists System
* feat(mcp): Add tagInfo to responses and integrate ContextGatherer
Enhances the MCP server to include 'tagInfo' (currentTag, availableTags) in all tool responses, providing better client-side context.
- Introduces a new 'ContextGatherer' utility to standardize the collection of file, task, and project context for AI-powered commands. This refactors several task-manager modules ('expand-task', 'research', 'update-task', etc.) to use the new utility.
- Fixes an issue in 'get-task' and 'get-tasks' MCP tools where the 'projectRoot' was not being passed correctly, preventing tag information from being included in their responses.
- Adds subtask '103.17' to track the implementation of the task template importing feature.
- Updates documentation ('.cursor/rules', 'docs/') to align with the new tagged task system and context gatherer logic.
* fix: include tagInfo in AI service responses for MCP tools
- Update all core functions that call AI services to extract and return tagInfo
- Update all direct functions to include tagInfo in MCP response data
- Fixes issue where add_task, expand_task, and other AI commands were not including current tag and available tags information
- tagInfo includes currentTag from state.json and availableTags list
- Ensures tagged task lists system information is properly propagated through the full chain: AI service -> core function -> direct function -> MCP client
* fix(move-task): Update move functionality for tagged task system compatibility
- incorporate GitHub commit fixes and resolve readJSON data handling
* feat(tagged-tasks): Complete core tag management system implementation
- Implements comprehensive tagged task lists system for multi-context task management including core tag management functions (Task 103.11), MCP integration updates, and foundational infrastructure for tagged task operations. Features tag CRUD operations, validation, metadata tracking, deep task copying, and full backward compatibility.
* fix(core): Fixed move-task.js writing _rawTaggedData directly, updated writeJSON to filter tag fields, fixed CLI move command missing projectRoot, added ensureTagMetadata utility
* fix(tasks): ensure list tasks triggers silent migration if necessary.
* feat(tags): Complete show and add-task command tag support
- show command: Added --tag flag, fixed projectRoot passing to UI functions
- add-task command: Already had proper tag support and projectRoot handling
- Both commands now work correctly with tagged task lists system
- Migration logic works properly when viewing and adding tasks
- Updated subtask 103.5 with progress on high-priority command fixes
* fix(tags): Clean up rogue created properties and fix taskCount calculation
- Enhanced writeJSON to automatically filter rogue created/description properties from tag objects
- Fixed tags command error by making taskCount calculation dynamic instead of hardcoded
- Cleaned up existing rogue created property in master tag through forced write operation
- All created properties now properly located in metadata objects only
- Tags command working perfectly with proper task count display
- Data integrity maintained with automatic cleanup during write operations
* fix(tags): Resolve critical tag deletion and migration notice bugs
Major Issues Fixed:
1. Tag Deletion Bug: Fixed critical issue where creating subtasks would delete other tags
- Root cause: writeJSON function wasn't accepting projectRoot/tag parameters
- Fixed writeJSON signature and logic to handle tagged data structure
- Added proper merging of resolved tag data back into full tagged structure
2. Persistent Migration Notice: Fixed FYI notice showing after every command
- Root cause: markMigrationForNotice was resetting migrationNoticeShown to false
- Fixed migration logic to only trigger on actual legacy->tagged migrations
- Added proper _rawTaggedData checks to prevent false migration detection
3. Data Corruption Prevention: Enhanced data integrity safeguards
- Fixed writeJSON to filter out internal properties
- Added automatic cleanup of rogue properties
- Improved hasTaggedStructure detection logic
Commands Fixed: add-subtask, remove-subtask, and all commands now preserve tags correctly
* fix(tags): Resolve tag deletion bug in remove-task command
Refactored the core 'removeTask' function to be fully tag-aware, preventing data corruption.
- The function now correctly reads the full tagged data structure by prioritizing '_rawTaggedData' instead of operating on a resolved single-tag view.
- All subsequent operations (task removal, dependency cleanup, file writing) now correctly reference the full multi-tag data object, preserving the integrity of 'tasks.json'.
- This resolves the critical bug where removing a task would delete all other tags.
* fix(tasks): Ensure new task IDs are sequential within the target tag
Modified the ID generation logic in 'add-task.js' to calculate the next task ID based on the highest ID within the specified tag, rather than globally across all tags.
This fixes a critical bug where creating a task in a new tag would result in a high, non-sequential ID, such as ID 105 for the first task in a tag.
* fix(commands): Add missing context parameters to dependency and remove-subtask commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to all dependency commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to remove-subtask command
- Add --tag option to remove-subtask command
- Fixes critical bug where remove-subtask was deleting other tags due to missing context
- All dependency and subtask commands now properly handle tagged task lists
* feat(tags): Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management
- parse-prd now supports creating tasks in specific contexts
- Fixed tag preservation logic to prevent data loss
- analyze-complexity generates tag-specific reports
- Non-existent tags created automatically
- Enables rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows
* feat(tags): Complete tagged task lists system with enhanced use-tag command
- Multi-context task management with full CLI support
- Enhanced use-tag command shows next available task after switching
- Universal --tag flag support across all commands
- Seamless migration with zero disruption
- Complete tag management suite (add, delete, rename, copy, list)
- Smart confirmation logic and data integrity protection
- State management and configuration integration
- Real-world use cases for teams, features, and releases
* feat(tags): Complete tag support for remaining CLI commands
- Add --tag flag to update, move, and set-status commands
- Ensure all task operation commands now support tag context
- Fix missing tag context passing to core functions
- Complete comprehensive tag-aware command coverage
* feat(ui): add tag indicator to all CLI commands
- shows 🏷️ tag: tagname for complete context visibility across 15+ commands
* fix(ui): resolve dependency 'Not found' issue when filtering
- now correctly displays dependencies that exist but are filtered out of view
* feat(research): Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with interactive follow-ups, save functionality, intelligent context gathering, fuzzy task discovery, multi-source context support, enhanced display with syntax highlighting, clean inquirer menus, comprehensive help, and MCP integration with saveTo parameter
* feat(tags): Implement full MCP support for Tagged Task Lists and update-task append mode
* chore: task management
* feat(research): Enhance research command with follow-up menu, save functionality, and fix ContextGatherer token counting
* feat(git-workflow): Add automatic git branch-tag integration
- Implement automatic tag creation when switching to new git branches
- Add branch-tag mapping system for seamless context switching
- Enable auto-switch of task contexts based on current git branch
- Provide isolated task contexts per branch to prevent merge conflicts
- Add configuration support for enabling/disabling git workflow features
- Fix ES module compatibility issues in git-utils module
- Maintain zero migration impact with automatic 'master' tag creation
- Support parallel development with branch-specific task contexts
The git workflow system automatically detects branch changes and creates corresponding empty task tags, enabling developers to maintain separate task contexts for different features/branches while preventing task-related merge conflicts during collaborative development.
Resolves git workflow integration requirements for multi-context development.
* feat(git-workflow): Simplify git integration with --from-branch option
- Remove automatic git workflow and branch-tag switching - we are not ready for it yet
- Add --from-branch option to add-tag command for manual tag creation from git branch
- Remove git workflow configuration from config.json and assets
- Disable automatic tag switching functions in git-utils.js
- Add createTagFromBranch function for branch-based tag creation
- Support both CLI and MCP interfaces for --from-branch functionality
- Fix ES module imports in git-utils.js and utils.js
- Maintain user control over tag contexts without forced automation
The simplified approach allows users to create tags from their current git branch when desired, without the complexity and rigidity of automatic branch-tag synchronization. Users maintain full control over their tag contexts while having convenient tools for git-based workflows when needed.
* docs: Update rule files to reflect simplified git integration approach
- Remove automatic git workflow features, update to manual --from-branch option, change Part 2 references to completed status
* fix(commands): Fix add-tag --from-branch requiring tagName argument
- Made tagName optional when using --from-branch - Added validation for either tagName or --from-branch
- Fixes 'missing required argument' error with --from-branch option
* fix(mcp): Prevent tag deletion on subtask update
Adds a safety net to the writeJSON utility to prevent data loss when updating subtasks via the MCP server.
The MCP process was inadvertently causing the _rawTaggedData property, which holds the complete multi-tag structure, to be lost. When writeJSON received the data for only a single tag, it would overwrite the entire tasks.json file, deleting all other tags.
This fix makes writeJSON more robust. If it receives data that looks like a single, resolved tag without the complete structure, it re-reads the full tasks.json file from disk. It then carefully merges the updated data back into the correct tag within the full structure, preserving all other tags.
* fix: resolve all remaining test failures and improve test reliability
- Fix clear-subtasks test by implementing deep copy of mock data to prevent mutation issues between tests
- Fix add-task test by uncommenting and properly configuring generateTaskFiles call with correct parameters
- Fix analyze-task-complexity tests by properly mocking fs.writeFileSync with shared mock function
- Update test expectations to match actual function signatures and data structures
- Improve mock setup consistency across all test suites
- Ensure all tests now pass (329 total: 318 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed)

refactor(expand/all): Implement additive expansion and complexity report integration
Refactors the `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks` features to complete subtask 61.38 and enhance functionality based on subtask 61.37's refactor.
Key Changes:
- **Additive Expansion (`expandTask`, `expandAllTasks`):**
- Modified `expandTask` default behavior to append newly generated subtasks to any existing ones.
- Added a `force` flag (passed down from CLI/MCP via `--force` option/parameter) to `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks`. When `force` is true, existing subtasks are cleared before generating new ones.
- Updated relevant CLI command (`expand`), MCP tool (`expand_task`, `expand_all`), and direct function wrappers (`expandTaskDirect`, `expandAllTasksDirect`) to handle and pass the `force` flag.
- **Complexity Report Integration (`expandTask`):**
- `expandTask` now reads `scripts/task-complexity-report.json`.
- If an analysis entry exists for the target task:
- `recommendedSubtasks` is used to determine the number of subtasks to generate (unless `--num` is explicitly provided).
- `expansionPrompt` is used as the primary prompt content for the AI.
- `reasoning` is appended to any additional context provided.
- If no report entry exists or the report is missing, it falls back to default subtask count (from config) and standard prompt generation.
- **`expandAllTasks` Orchestration:**
- Refactored `expandAllTasks` to primarily iterate through eligible tasks (pending/in-progress, considering `force` flag and existing subtasks) and call the updated `expandTask` function for each.
- Removed redundant logic (like complexity reading or explicit subtask clearing) now handled within `expandTask`.
- Ensures correct context (`session`, `mcpLog`) and flags (`useResearch`, `force`) are passed down.
- **Configuration & Cleanup:**
- Updated `.cursor/mcp.json` with new Perplexity/Anthropic API keys (old ones invalidated).
- Completed refactoring of `expandTask` started in 61.37, confirming usage of `generateTextService` and appropriate prompts.
- **Task Management:**
- Marked subtask 61.37 as complete.
- Updated `.changeset/cuddly-zebras-matter.md` to reflect user-facing changes.
These changes finalize the refactoring of the task expansion features, making them more robust, configurable via complexity analysis, and aligned with the unified AI service architecture.

* feat(tags): Implement tagged task lists migration system (Part 1/2)
This commit introduces the foundational infrastructure for tagged task lists,
enabling multi-context task management without remote storage to prevent merge conflicts.
CORE ARCHITECTURE:
• Silent migration system transforms tasks.json from old format { "tasks": [...] }
to new tagged format { "master": { "tasks": [...] } }
• Tag resolution layer provides complete backward compatibility - existing code continues to work
• Automatic configuration and state management for seamless user experience
SILENT MIGRATION SYSTEM:
• Automatic detection and migration of legacy tasks.json format
• Complete project migration: tasks.json + config.json + state.json
• Transparent tag resolution returns old format to maintain compatibility
• Zero breaking changes - all existing functionality preserved
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT:
• Added global.defaultTag setting (defaults to 'master')
• New tags section with gitIntegration placeholders for future features
• Automatic config.json migration during first run
• Proper state.json creation with migration tracking
USER EXPERIENCE:
• Clean, one-time FYI notice after migration (no emojis, professional styling)
• Notice appears after 'Suggested Next Steps' and is tracked in state.json
• Silent operation - users unaware migration occurred unless explicitly shown
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
• Enhanced readJSON() with automatic migration detection and processing
• New utility functions: getCurrentTag(), resolveTag(), getTasksForTag(), setTasksForTag()
• Complete migration orchestration via performCompleteTagMigration()
• Robust error handling and fallback mechanisms
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY:
• 100% backward compatibility maintained
• Existing CLI commands and MCP tools continue to work unchanged
• Legacy tasks.json format automatically upgraded on first read
• All existing workflows preserved
TESTING VERIFIED:
• Complete migration from legacy state works correctly
• Config.json properly updated with tagged system settings
• State.json created with correct initial values
• Migration notice system functions as designed
• All existing functionality continues to work normally
Part 2 will implement tag management commands (add-tag, use-tag, list-tags)
and MCP tool updates for full tagged task system functionality.

* docs: Update documentation and rules for tagged task lists system
- Updated task-structure.md with comprehensive tagged format explanation
- Updated all .cursor/rules/*.mdc files to reflect tagged system
- Completed subtask 103.16: Update Documentation for Tagged Task Lists System
* feat(mcp): Add tagInfo to responses and integrate ContextGatherer
Enhances the MCP server to include 'tagInfo' (currentTag, availableTags) in all tool responses, providing better client-side context.
- Introduces a new 'ContextGatherer' utility to standardize the collection of file, task, and project context for AI-powered commands. This refactors several task-manager modules ('expand-task', 'research', 'update-task', etc.) to use the new utility.
- Fixes an issue in 'get-task' and 'get-tasks' MCP tools where the 'projectRoot' was not being passed correctly, preventing tag information from being included in their responses.
- Adds subtask '103.17' to track the implementation of the task template importing feature.
- Updates documentation ('.cursor/rules', 'docs/') to align with the new tagged task system and context gatherer logic.
* fix: include tagInfo in AI service responses for MCP tools
- Update all core functions that call AI services to extract and return tagInfo
- Update all direct functions to include tagInfo in MCP response data
- Fixes issue where add_task, expand_task, and other AI commands were not including current tag and available tags information
- tagInfo includes currentTag from state.json and availableTags list
- Ensures tagged task lists system information is properly propagated through the full chain: AI service -> core function -> direct function -> MCP client
* fix(move-task): Update move functionality for tagged task system compatibility
- incorporate GitHub commit fixes and resolve readJSON data handling
* feat(tagged-tasks): Complete core tag management system implementation
- Implements comprehensive tagged task lists system for multi-context task management including core tag management functions (Task 103.11), MCP integration updates, and foundational infrastructure for tagged task operations. Features tag CRUD operations, validation, metadata tracking, deep task copying, and full backward compatibility.
* fix(core): Fixed move-task.js writing _rawTaggedData directly, updated writeJSON to filter tag fields, fixed CLI move command missing projectRoot, added ensureTagMetadata utility
* fix(tasks): ensure list tasks triggers silent migration if necessary.
* feat(tags): Complete show and add-task command tag support
- show command: Added --tag flag, fixed projectRoot passing to UI functions
- add-task command: Already had proper tag support and projectRoot handling
- Both commands now work correctly with tagged task lists system
- Migration logic works properly when viewing and adding tasks
- Updated subtask 103.5 with progress on high-priority command fixes
* fix(tags): Clean up rogue created properties and fix taskCount calculation
- Enhanced writeJSON to automatically filter rogue created/description properties from tag objects
- Fixed tags command error by making taskCount calculation dynamic instead of hardcoded
- Cleaned up existing rogue created property in master tag through forced write operation
- All created properties now properly located in metadata objects only
- Tags command working perfectly with proper task count display
- Data integrity maintained with automatic cleanup during write operations
* fix(tags): Resolve critical tag deletion and migration notice bugs
Major Issues Fixed:
1. Tag Deletion Bug: Fixed critical issue where creating subtasks would delete other tags
- Root cause: writeJSON function wasn't accepting projectRoot/tag parameters
- Fixed writeJSON signature and logic to handle tagged data structure
- Added proper merging of resolved tag data back into full tagged structure
2. Persistent Migration Notice: Fixed FYI notice showing after every command
- Root cause: markMigrationForNotice was resetting migrationNoticeShown to false
- Fixed migration logic to only trigger on actual legacy->tagged migrations
- Added proper _rawTaggedData checks to prevent false migration detection
3. Data Corruption Prevention: Enhanced data integrity safeguards
- Fixed writeJSON to filter out internal properties
- Added automatic cleanup of rogue properties
- Improved hasTaggedStructure detection logic
Commands Fixed: add-subtask, remove-subtask, and all commands now preserve tags correctly
* fix(tags): Resolve tag deletion bug in remove-task command
Refactored the core 'removeTask' function to be fully tag-aware, preventing data corruption.
- The function now correctly reads the full tagged data structure by prioritizing '_rawTaggedData' instead of operating on a resolved single-tag view.
- All subsequent operations (task removal, dependency cleanup, file writing) now correctly reference the full multi-tag data object, preserving the integrity of 'tasks.json'.
- This resolves the critical bug where removing a task would delete all other tags.
* fix(tasks): Ensure new task IDs are sequential within the target tag
Modified the ID generation logic in 'add-task.js' to calculate the next task ID based on the highest ID within the specified tag, rather than globally across all tags.
This fixes a critical bug where creating a task in a new tag would result in a high, non-sequential ID, such as ID 105 for the first task in a tag.
* fix(commands): Add missing context parameters to dependency and remove-subtask commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to all dependency commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to remove-subtask command
- Add --tag option to remove-subtask command
- Fixes critical bug where remove-subtask was deleting other tags due to missing context
- All dependency and subtask commands now properly handle tagged task lists
* feat(tags): Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management
- parse-prd now supports creating tasks in specific contexts
- Fixed tag preservation logic to prevent data loss
- analyze-complexity generates tag-specific reports
- Non-existent tags created automatically
- Enables rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows
* feat(tags): Complete tagged task lists system with enhanced use-tag command
- Multi-context task management with full CLI support
- Enhanced use-tag command shows next available task after switching
- Universal --tag flag support across all commands
- Seamless migration with zero disruption
- Complete tag management suite (add, delete, rename, copy, list)
- Smart confirmation logic and data integrity protection
- State management and configuration integration
- Real-world use cases for teams, features, and releases
* feat(tags): Complete tag support for remaining CLI commands
- Add --tag flag to update, move, and set-status commands
- Ensure all task operation commands now support tag context
- Fix missing tag context passing to core functions
- Complete comprehensive tag-aware command coverage
* feat(ui): add tag indicator to all CLI commands
- shows 🏷️ tag: tagname for complete context visibility across 15+ commands
* fix(ui): resolve dependency 'Not found' issue when filtering
- now correctly displays dependencies that exist but are filtered out of view
* feat(research): Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with interactive follow-ups, save functionality, intelligent context gathering, fuzzy task discovery, multi-source context support, enhanced display with syntax highlighting, clean inquirer menus, comprehensive help, and MCP integration with saveTo parameter
* feat(tags): Implement full MCP support for Tagged Task Lists and update-task append mode
* chore: task management
* feat(research): Enhance research command with follow-up menu, save functionality, and fix ContextGatherer token counting
* feat(git-workflow): Add automatic git branch-tag integration
- Implement automatic tag creation when switching to new git branches
- Add branch-tag mapping system for seamless context switching
- Enable auto-switch of task contexts based on current git branch
- Provide isolated task contexts per branch to prevent merge conflicts
- Add configuration support for enabling/disabling git workflow features
- Fix ES module compatibility issues in git-utils module
- Maintain zero migration impact with automatic 'master' tag creation
- Support parallel development with branch-specific task contexts
The git workflow system automatically detects branch changes and creates corresponding empty task tags, enabling developers to maintain separate task contexts for different features/branches while preventing task-related merge conflicts during collaborative development.
Resolves git workflow integration requirements for multi-context development.
* feat(git-workflow): Simplify git integration with --from-branch option
- Remove automatic git workflow and branch-tag switching - we are not ready for it yet
- Add --from-branch option to add-tag command for manual tag creation from git branch
- Remove git workflow configuration from config.json and assets
- Disable automatic tag switching functions in git-utils.js
- Add createTagFromBranch function for branch-based tag creation
- Support both CLI and MCP interfaces for --from-branch functionality
- Fix ES module imports in git-utils.js and utils.js
- Maintain user control over tag contexts without forced automation
The simplified approach allows users to create tags from their current git branch when desired, without the complexity and rigidity of automatic branch-tag synchronization. Users maintain full control over their tag contexts while having convenient tools for git-based workflows when needed.
* docs: Update rule files to reflect simplified git integration approach
- Remove automatic git workflow features, update to manual --from-branch option, change Part 2 references to completed status
* fix(commands): Fix add-tag --from-branch requiring tagName argument
- Made tagName optional when using --from-branch - Added validation for either tagName or --from-branch
- Fixes 'missing required argument' error with --from-branch option
* fix(mcp): Prevent tag deletion on subtask update
Adds a safety net to the writeJSON utility to prevent data loss when updating subtasks via the MCP server.
The MCP process was inadvertently causing the _rawTaggedData property, which holds the complete multi-tag structure, to be lost. When writeJSON received the data for only a single tag, it would overwrite the entire tasks.json file, deleting all other tags.
This fix makes writeJSON more robust. If it receives data that looks like a single, resolved tag without the complete structure, it re-reads the full tasks.json file from disk. It then carefully merges the updated data back into the correct tag within the full structure, preserving all other tags.
* fix: resolve all remaining test failures and improve test reliability
- Fix clear-subtasks test by implementing deep copy of mock data to prevent mutation issues between tests
- Fix add-task test by uncommenting and properly configuring generateTaskFiles call with correct parameters
- Fix analyze-task-complexity tests by properly mocking fs.writeFileSync with shared mock function
- Update test expectations to match actual function signatures and data structures
- Improve mock setup consistency across all test suites
- Ensure all tests now pass (329 total: 318 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed)

refactor(expand/all): Implement additive expansion and complexity report integration
Refactors the `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks` features to complete subtask 61.38 and enhance functionality based on subtask 61.37's refactor.
Key Changes:
- **Additive Expansion (`expandTask`, `expandAllTasks`):**
- Modified `expandTask` default behavior to append newly generated subtasks to any existing ones.
- Added a `force` flag (passed down from CLI/MCP via `--force` option/parameter) to `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks`. When `force` is true, existing subtasks are cleared before generating new ones.
- Updated relevant CLI command (`expand`), MCP tool (`expand_task`, `expand_all`), and direct function wrappers (`expandTaskDirect`, `expandAllTasksDirect`) to handle and pass the `force` flag.
- **Complexity Report Integration (`expandTask`):**
- `expandTask` now reads `scripts/task-complexity-report.json`.
- If an analysis entry exists for the target task:
- `recommendedSubtasks` is used to determine the number of subtasks to generate (unless `--num` is explicitly provided).
- `expansionPrompt` is used as the primary prompt content for the AI.
- `reasoning` is appended to any additional context provided.
- If no report entry exists or the report is missing, it falls back to default subtask count (from config) and standard prompt generation.
- **`expandAllTasks` Orchestration:**
- Refactored `expandAllTasks` to primarily iterate through eligible tasks (pending/in-progress, considering `force` flag and existing subtasks) and call the updated `expandTask` function for each.
- Removed redundant logic (like complexity reading or explicit subtask clearing) now handled within `expandTask`.
- Ensures correct context (`session`, `mcpLog`) and flags (`useResearch`, `force`) are passed down.
- **Configuration & Cleanup:**
- Updated `.cursor/mcp.json` with new Perplexity/Anthropic API keys (old ones invalidated).
- Completed refactoring of `expandTask` started in 61.37, confirming usage of `generateTextService` and appropriate prompts.
- **Task Management:**
- Marked subtask 61.37 as complete.
- Updated `.changeset/cuddly-zebras-matter.md` to reflect user-facing changes.
These changes finalize the refactoring of the task expansion features, making them more robust, configurable via complexity analysis, and aligned with the unified AI service architecture.

- Refactored `expandAllTasks` to primarily iterate through eligible tasks (pending/in-progress, considering `force` flag and existing subtasks) and call the updated `expandTask` function for each.
- Removed redundant logic (like complexity reading or explicit subtask clearing) now handled within `expandTask`.
- Ensures correct context (`session`, `mcpLog`) and flags (`useResearch`, `force`) are passed down.
- **Configuration & Cleanup:**
- Updated `.cursor/mcp.json` with new Perplexity/Anthropic API keys (old ones invalidated).
- Completed refactoring of `expandTask` started in 61.37, confirming usage of `generateTextService` and appropriate prompts.
- **Task Management:**
- Marked subtask 61.37 as complete.
- Updated `.changeset/cuddly-zebras-matter.md` to reflect user-facing changes.

refactor(expand/all): Implement additive expansion and complexity report integration
Refactors the `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks` features to complete subtask 61.38 and enhance functionality based on subtask 61.37's refactor.
Key Changes:
- **Additive Expansion (`expandTask`, `expandAllTasks`):**
- Modified `expandTask` default behavior to append newly generated subtasks to any existing ones.
- Added a `force` flag (passed down from CLI/MCP via `--force` option/parameter) to `expandTask` and `expandAllTasks`. When `force` is true, existing subtasks are cleared before generating new ones.
- Updated relevant CLI command (`expand`), MCP tool (`expand_task`, `expand_all`), and direct function wrappers (`expandTaskDirect`, `expandAllTasksDirect`) to handle and pass the `force` flag.
- **Complexity Report Integration (`expandTask`):**
- `expandTask` now reads `scripts/task-complexity-report.json`.
- If an analysis entry exists for the target task:
- `recommendedSubtasks` is used to determine the number of subtasks to generate (unless `--num` is explicitly provided).
- `expansionPrompt` is used as the primary prompt content for the AI.
- `reasoning` is appended to any additional context provided.
- If no report entry exists or the report is missing, it falls back to default subtask count (from config) and standard prompt generation.
- **`expandAllTasks` Orchestration:**
- Refactored `expandAllTasks` to primarily iterate through eligible tasks (pending/in-progress, considering `force` flag and existing subtasks) and call the updated `expandTask` function for each.
- Removed redundant logic (like complexity reading or explicit subtask clearing) now handled within `expandTask`.

chore: v0.17 features and improvements (#771)
* chore: task management and small bug fix.
* chore: task management
* feat: implement research command with enhanced context gathering - Add comprehensive research command with AI-powered queries - Implement ContextGatherer utility for reusable context extraction - Support multiple context types: tasks, files, custom text, project tree - Add fuzzy search integration for automatic task discovery - Implement detailed token breakdown display with syntax highlighting - Add enhanced UI with boxed output and code block formatting - Support different detail levels (low, medium, high) for responses - Include project-specific context for more relevant AI responses - Add token counting with gpt-tokens library integration - Create reusable patterns for future context-aware commands - Task 94.4 completed
* docs: add context gathering rule and update existing rules
- Create comprehensive context_gathering.mdc rule documenting ContextGatherer utility patterns, FuzzyTaskSearch integration, token breakdown display, code block syntax highlighting, and enhanced result display patterns
- Update new_features.mdc to include context gathering step
- Update commands.mdc with context-aware command pattern
- Update ui.mdc with enhanced display patterns and syntax highlighting
- Update utilities.mdc to document new context gathering utilities
- Update glossary.mdc to include new context_gathering rule
- Establishes standardized patterns for building intelligent, context-aware commands that can leverage project knowledge for better AI assistance
* feat(fuzzy): improves fuzzy search to introspect into subtasks as well. might still need improvement.
* fix(move): adjusts logic to prevent an issue when moving from parent to subtask if the target parent has no subtasks.
* fix(move-task): Fix critical bugs in task move functionality
- Fixed parent-to-parent task moves where original task would remain as duplicate
- Fixed moving tasks to become subtasks of empty parents (validation errors)
- Fixed moving subtasks between different parent tasks
- Improved comma-separated batch moves with proper error handling
- Updated MCP tool to use core logic instead of custom implementation
- Resolves task duplication issues and enables proper task hierarchy reorganization
* feat(research): Add subtasks to fuzzy search and follow-up questions
- Enhanced fuzzy search to include subtasks in discovery - Added interactive follow-up question functionality using inquirer
- Improved context discovery by including both tasks and subtasks
- Follow-up option for research with default to 'n' for quick workflow
* chore: removes task004 chat that had like 11k lines lol.
* chore: formatting
* feat(show): add comma-separated ID support for multi-task viewing
- Enhanced get-task/show command to support comma-separated task IDs for efficient batch operations.
- New features include multiple task retrieval, smart display logic, interactive action menu with batch operations, MCP array response for AI agent efficiency, and support for mixed parent tasks and subtasks.
- Implementation includes updated CLI show command, enhanced MCP get_task tool, modified showTaskDirect function, and maintained full backward compatibility.
- Documentation updated across all relevant files.
Benefits include faster context gathering for AI agents, improved workflow with interactive batch operations, better UX with responsive layout, and enhanced API efficiency.
* feat(research): Adds MCP tool for command
- New MCP Tool: research tool enables AI-powered research with project context
- Context Integration: Supports task IDs, file paths, custom context, and project tree
- Fuzzy Task Discovery: Automatically finds relevant tasks using semantic search
- Token Management: Detailed token counting and breakdown by context type
- Multiple Detail Levels: Support for low, medium, and high detail research responses
- Telemetry Integration: Full cost tracking and usage analytics
- Direct Function: researchDirect with comprehensive parameter validation
- Silent Mode: Prevents console output interference with MCP JSON responses
- Error Handling: Robust error handling with proper MCP response formatting
This completes subtasks 94.5 (Direct Function) and 94.6 (MCP Tool) for the research command implementation, providing a powerful research interface for integrated development environments like Cursor.
Updated documentation across taskmaster.mdc, README.md, command-reference.md, examples.md, tutorial.md, and docs/README.md to highlight research capabilities and usage patterns.
* chore: task management
* chore: task management and removes mistakenly staged changes
* fix(move): Fix move command bug that left duplicate tasks
- Fixed logic in moveTaskToNewId function that was incorrectly treating task-to-task moves as subtask creation instead of task replacement
- Updated moveTaskToNewId to properly handle replacing existing destination tasks instead of just placeholders
- The move command now correctly replaces destination tasks and cleans up properly without leaving duplicates
- Task Management: Moved task 93 (Google Vertex AI Provider) to position 88, Moved task 94 (Azure OpenAI Provider) to position 89, Updated task dependencies and regenerated task files, Cleaned up orphaned task files automatically
- All important validations remain in place: Prevents moving tasks to themselves, Prevents moving parent tasks to their own subtasks, Prevents circular dependencies
- Resolves the issue where moving tasks would leave both source and destination tasks in tasks.json and file system

* fix(ai-providers): change generateObject mode from 'tool' to 'auto' for better provider compatibility
Fixes Perplexity research role failing with 'tool-mode object generation' error
The hardcoded 'tool' mode was incompatible with providers like Perplexity that support structured JSON output but not function calling/tool use
Using 'auto' mode allows the AI SDK to choose the best approach for each provider
* Adds qwen3-235n-a22b:free to supported models. Closes #687)
* chore: adds a warning when custom openrouter model is a free model which suffers from lower rate limits, restricted context, and, worst of all, no access to tool_use.
* refactor: enhance add-task fuzzy search and fix duplicate banner display
- **Remove hardcoded category system** in add-task that always matched 'Task management'
- **Eliminate arbitrary limits** in fuzzy search results (5→25 high relevance, 3→10 medium relevance, 8→20 detailed tasks)
- **Improve semantic weighting** in Fuse.js search (details=3, description=2, title=1.5) for better relevance
- **Fix duplicate banner issue** by removing console.clear() and redundant displayBanner() calls from UI functions
- **Enhance context generation** to rely on semantic similarity rather than rigid pattern matching
- **Preserve terminal history** to address GitHub issue #553 about eating terminal lines
- **Remove displayBanner() calls** from: displayHelp, displayNextTask, displayTaskById, displayComplexityReport, set-task-status, clear-subtasks, dependency-manager functions
The add-task system now provides truly relevant task context based on semantic similarity rather than arbitrary categories and limits, while maintaining a cleaner terminal experience.
Changes span: add-task.js, ui.js, set-task-status.js, clear-subtasks.js, list-tasks.js, dependency-manager.js
Closes #553

* feat(tags): Implement tagged task lists migration system (Part 1/2)
This commit introduces the foundational infrastructure for tagged task lists,
enabling multi-context task management without remote storage to prevent merge conflicts.
CORE ARCHITECTURE:
• Silent migration system transforms tasks.json from old format { "tasks": [...] }
to new tagged format { "master": { "tasks": [...] } }
• Tag resolution layer provides complete backward compatibility - existing code continues to work
• Automatic configuration and state management for seamless user experience
SILENT MIGRATION SYSTEM:
• Automatic detection and migration of legacy tasks.json format
• Complete project migration: tasks.json + config.json + state.json
• Transparent tag resolution returns old format to maintain compatibility
• Zero breaking changes - all existing functionality preserved
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT:
• Added global.defaultTag setting (defaults to 'master')
• New tags section with gitIntegration placeholders for future features
• Automatic config.json migration during first run
• Proper state.json creation with migration tracking
USER EXPERIENCE:
• Clean, one-time FYI notice after migration (no emojis, professional styling)
• Notice appears after 'Suggested Next Steps' and is tracked in state.json
• Silent operation - users unaware migration occurred unless explicitly shown
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
• Enhanced readJSON() with automatic migration detection and processing
• New utility functions: getCurrentTag(), resolveTag(), getTasksForTag(), setTasksForTag()
• Complete migration orchestration via performCompleteTagMigration()
• Robust error handling and fallback mechanisms
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY:
• 100% backward compatibility maintained
• Existing CLI commands and MCP tools continue to work unchanged
• Legacy tasks.json format automatically upgraded on first read
• All existing workflows preserved
TESTING VERIFIED:
• Complete migration from legacy state works correctly
• Config.json properly updated with tagged system settings
• State.json created with correct initial values
• Migration notice system functions as designed
• All existing functionality continues to work normally
Part 2 will implement tag management commands (add-tag, use-tag, list-tags)
and MCP tool updates for full tagged task system functionality.

* feat(mcp): Add tagInfo to responses and integrate ContextGatherer
Enhances the MCP server to include 'tagInfo' (currentTag, availableTags) in all tool responses, providing better client-side context.
- Introduces a new 'ContextGatherer' utility to standardize the collection of file, task, and project context for AI-powered commands. This refactors several task-manager modules ('expand-task', 'research', 'update-task', etc.) to use the new utility.
- Fixes an issue in 'get-task' and 'get-tasks' MCP tools where the 'projectRoot' was not being passed correctly, preventing tag information from being included in their responses.
- Adds subtask '103.17' to track the implementation of the task template importing feature.

* fix(move-task): Update move functionality for tagged task system compatibility
- incorporate GitHub commit fixes and resolve readJSON data handling
* feat(tagged-tasks): Complete core tag management system implementation
- Implements comprehensive tagged task lists system for multi-context task management including core tag management functions (Task 103.11), MCP integration updates, and foundational infrastructure for tagged task operations. Features tag CRUD operations, validation, metadata tracking, deep task copying, and full backward compatibility.
* fix(core): Fixed move-task.js writing _rawTaggedData directly, updated writeJSON to filter tag fields, fixed CLI move command missing projectRoot, added ensureTagMetadata utility
* fix(tasks): ensure list tasks triggers silent migration if necessary.
* feat(tags): Complete show and add-task command tag support

- Cleaned up existing rogue created property in master tag through forced write operation
- All created properties now properly located in metadata objects only
- Tags command working perfectly with proper task count display
- Data integrity maintained with automatic cleanup during write operations
* fix(tags): Resolve critical tag deletion and migration notice bugs
Major Issues Fixed:
1. Tag Deletion Bug: Fixed critical issue where creating subtasks would delete other tags
- Root cause: writeJSON function wasn't accepting projectRoot/tag parameters
- Fixed writeJSON signature and logic to handle tagged data structure
- Added proper merging of resolved tag data back into full tagged structure
2. Persistent Migration Notice: Fixed FYI notice showing after every command
- Root cause: markMigrationForNotice was resetting migrationNoticeShown to false
- Fixed migration logic to only trigger on actual legacy->tagged migrations
- Added proper _rawTaggedData checks to prevent false migration detection
3. Data Corruption Prevention: Enhanced data integrity safeguards
- Fixed writeJSON to filter out internal properties
- Added automatic cleanup of rogue properties
- Improved hasTaggedStructure detection logic
Commands Fixed: add-subtask, remove-subtask, and all commands now preserve tags correctly
* fix(tags): Resolve tag deletion bug in remove-task command
Refactored the core 'removeTask' function to be fully tag-aware, preventing data corruption.
- The function now correctly reads the full tagged data structure by prioritizing '_rawTaggedData' instead of operating on a resolved single-tag view.
- All subsequent operations (task removal, dependency cleanup, file writing) now correctly reference the full multi-tag data object, preserving the integrity of 'tasks.json'.
- This resolves the critical bug where removing a task would delete all other tags.
* fix(tasks): Ensure new task IDs are sequential within the target tag
Modified the ID generation logic in 'add-task.js' to calculate the next task ID based on the highest ID within the specified tag, rather than globally across all tags.
This fixes a critical bug where creating a task in a new tag would result in a high, non-sequential ID, such as ID 105 for the first task in a tag.
* fix(commands): Add missing context parameters to dependency and remove-subtask commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to all dependency commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to remove-subtask command
- Add --tag option to remove-subtask command
- Fixes critical bug where remove-subtask was deleting other tags due to missing context
- All dependency and subtask commands now properly handle tagged task lists
* feat(tags): Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management
- parse-prd now supports creating tasks in specific contexts
- Fixed tag preservation logic to prevent data loss
- analyze-complexity generates tag-specific reports
- Non-existent tags created automatically
- Enables rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows
* feat(tags): Complete tagged task lists system with enhanced use-tag command
- Multi-context task management with full CLI support
- Enhanced use-tag command shows next available task after switching
- Universal --tag flag support across all commands
- Seamless migration with zero disruption
- Complete tag management suite (add, delete, rename, copy, list)
- Smart confirmation logic and data integrity protection
- State management and configuration integration
- Real-world use cases for teams, features, and releases
* feat(tags): Complete tag support for remaining CLI commands
- Add --tag flag to update, move, and set-status commands
- Ensure all task operation commands now support tag context
- Fix missing tag context passing to core functions
- Complete comprehensive tag-aware command coverage
* feat(ui): add tag indicator to all CLI commands
- shows 🏷️ tag: tagname for complete context visibility across 15+ commands
* fix(ui): resolve dependency 'Not found' issue when filtering
- now correctly displays dependencies that exist but are filtered out of view
* feat(research): Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with interactive follow-ups, save functionality, intelligent context gathering, fuzzy task discovery, multi-source context support, enhanced display with syntax highlighting, clean inquirer menus, comprehensive help, and MCP integration with saveTo parameter
* feat(tags): Implement full MCP support for Tagged Task Lists and update-task append mode
* chore: task management
* feat(research): Enhance research command with follow-up menu, save functionality, and fix ContextGatherer token counting
* feat(git-workflow): Add automatic git branch-tag integration
- Implement automatic tag creation when switching to new git branches
- Add branch-tag mapping system for seamless context switching
- Enable auto-switch of task contexts based on current git branch
- Provide isolated task contexts per branch to prevent merge conflicts
- Add configuration support for enabling/disabling git workflow features
- Fix ES module compatibility issues in git-utils module
- Maintain zero migration impact with automatic 'master' tag creation
- Support parallel development with branch-specific task contexts
The git workflow system automatically detects branch changes and creates corresponding empty task tags, enabling developers to maintain separate task contexts for different features/branches while preventing task-related merge conflicts during collaborative development.
Resolves git workflow integration requirements for multi-context development.
* feat(git-workflow): Simplify git integration with --from-branch option
- Remove automatic git workflow and branch-tag switching - we are not ready for it yet
- Add --from-branch option to add-tag command for manual tag creation from git branch
- Remove git workflow configuration from config.json and assets
- Disable automatic tag switching functions in git-utils.js
- Add createTagFromBranch function for branch-based tag creation
- Support both CLI and MCP interfaces for --from-branch functionality
- Fix ES module imports in git-utils.js and utils.js
- Maintain user control over tag contexts without forced automation
The simplified approach allows users to create tags from their current git branch when desired, without the complexity and rigidity of automatic branch-tag synchronization. Users maintain full control over their tag contexts while having convenient tools for git-based workflows when needed.
* docs: Update rule files to reflect simplified git integration approach
- Remove automatic git workflow features, update to manual --from-branch option, change Part 2 references to completed status
* fix(commands): Fix add-tag --from-branch requiring tagName argument
- Made tagName optional when using --from-branch - Added validation for either tagName or --from-branch
- Fixes 'missing required argument' error with --from-branch option
* fix(mcp): Prevent tag deletion on subtask update
Adds a safety net to the writeJSON utility to prevent data loss when updating subtasks via the MCP server.
The MCP process was inadvertently causing the _rawTaggedData property, which holds the complete multi-tag structure, to be lost. When writeJSON received the data for only a single tag, it would overwrite the entire tasks.json file, deleting all other tags.
This fix makes writeJSON more robust. If it receives data that looks like a single, resolved tag without the complete structure, it re-reads the full tasks.json file from disk. It then carefully merges the updated data back into the correct tag within the full structure, preserving all other tags.
* fix: resolve all remaining test failures and improve test reliability
- Fix clear-subtasks test by implementing deep copy of mock data to prevent mutation issues between tests
- Fix add-task test by uncommenting and properly configuring generateTaskFiles call with correct parameters
- Fix analyze-task-complexity tests by properly mocking fs.writeFileSync with shared mock function
- Update test expectations to match actual function signatures and data structures
- Improve mock setup consistency across all test suites
- Ensure all tests now pass (329 total: 318 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed)
