fix(commands): implement manual creation mode for add-task command

- Add support for --title/-t and --description/-d flags in add-task command
- Fix validation for manual creation mode (title + description)
- Implement proper testing for both prompt and manual creation modes
- Update testing documentation with Commander.js testing best practices
- Add guidance on handling variable hoisting and module initialization issues

+ * Tests for the add-task MCP tool
+ * 
+ * Note: This test does NOT test the actual implementation. It tests that:
+ * 1. The tool is registered correctly with the correct parameters
+ * 2. Arguments are passed correctly to addTaskDirect
+ * 3. Error handling works as expected
+ * 
+ * We do NOT import the real implementation - everything is mocked
