v017 polish (#778)

* fix(research, tasks): Make research command and task updates tag-aware

* refactor(tasks): Prevent automatic task file generation across other locations

This commit refactors several core task management functions to prevent them from automatically regenerating individual task files after modifying the main `tasks.json`.

Previously, operations like `add-task`, `clear-subtasks`, `expand-task`, and `update-task-by-id` would immediately trigger `generateTaskFiles`. This could be slow and was often unnecessary.

The calls to `generateTaskFiles` have been removed or commented out from the core task functions. Users should now run `task-master generate` explicitly to update their individual task files.

Additionally, this commit includes fixes to the `move` command to make it fully tag-aware.

* fix: move and clear subtasks mcp commands

* chore: fix format

* chore: fix unit tests
