Addresses `process.stdout.clearLine is not a function` error when running AI-dependent commands non-interactively (e.g., `update-subtask`).
Adds `process.stdout.isTTY` check before attempting to use terminal-specific output manipulations.
feat: Implement initial config manager for AI models
Adds `scripts/modules/config-manager.js` to handle reading/writing model selections from/to `.taskmasterconfig`.
Implements core functions: findProjectRoot, read/writeConfig, validateModel, get/setModel.
Defines valid model lists. Completes initial work for Subtask 61.1.
The function used terminal manipulation functions
(like , ) for the CLI
streaming progress indicator. This caused errors when Task Master commands
involving AI streaming were run in non-interactive terminals (e.g., via
output redirection, some CI environments, or integrated terminals).
This commit adds a check for to the condition
that controls the display of the CLI progress indicator, ensuring these
functions are only called when standard output is a fully interactive TTY.
Improves the quality and relevance of research-backed AI operations:
- Tweaks Perplexity AI calls to use max input tokens (8700), temperature 0.1, high context size, and day-fresh search recency.
- Adds a system prompt to guide Perplexity research output.
Docs:
- Updates CLI examples in taskmaster.mdc to use ANSI-C quoting ($'...') for multi-line prompts, ensuring they work correctly in bash/zsh.
- Fix expand-all command bugs that caused NaN errors with --all option and JSON formatting errors with research enabled
- Improve error handling to provide clear feedback when subtask generation fails
- Include task IDs and actionable suggestions in error messages
- Refactor for more reliable project root detection, particularly when running within integrated environments like Cursor IDE. Includes deriving root from script path and avoiding fallback to '/'.
- Enhance error handling in :
- Add detailed debug information (paths searched, CWD, etc.) to the error message when is not found in the provided project root.
- Improve clarity of error messages and potential solutions.
- Add verbose logging in to trace session object content and the finally resolved project root path, aiding in debugging path-related issues.
- Add default values for and to the example environment configuration.
This commit introduces several significant improvements:
- **Enhanced Unit Testing:** Vastly improved unit tests for the module, covering core functions, edge cases, and error handling. Simplified test functions and comprehensive mocking were implemented for better isolation and reliability. Added new section to tests.mdc detailing reliable testing techniques.
- **CLI Kebab-Case Flag Enforcement:** The CLI now enforces kebab-case for flags, providing helpful error messages when camelCase is used. This improves consistency and user experience.
- **AI Enhancements:**
- Enabled 128k token output for Claude 3.7 Sonnet by adding the header.
- Added a new task to to document this change and its testing strategy.
- Added unit tests to verify the Anthropic client configuration.
- Added and utility functions.
- **Improved Test Coverage:** Added tests for the new CLI flag validation logic.
Simplified the Task Master CLI by organizing code into modules within the directory.
**Why:**
- **Better Organization:** Code is now grouped by function (AI, commands, dependencies, tasks, UI, utilities).
- **Easier to Maintain:** Smaller modules are simpler to update and fix.
- **Scalable:** New features can be added more easily in a structured way.
**What Changed:**
- Moved code from single _____ _ __ __ _
