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.

# Task Management Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
## Tagged Task Lists System
|
||||
|
||||
Task Master now uses a **tagged task lists system** for multi-context task management:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Data Structure**: Tasks are organized into separate contexts (tags) within `tasks.json`
|
||||
- **Legacy Format**: `{"tasks": [...]}`
|
||||
- **Tagged Format**: `{"master": {"tasks": [...]}, "feature-branch": {"tasks": [...]}}`
|
||||
- **Silent Migration**: Legacy format automatically converts to tagged format on first use
|
||||
- **Tag Resolution**: Core functions receive legacy format for 100% backward compatibility
|
||||
- **Default Tag**: "master" is used for all existing and new tasks unless otherwise specified
|
||||
|
||||

- **Tagged Data Structure**:

- ✅ DO: Access tasks through tag resolution layer
|

- ✅ DO: Use `getTasksForTag(data, tagName)` to retrieve tasks for a specific tag
|

- ✅ DO: Use `setTasksForTag(data, tagName, tasks)` to update tasks for a specific tag
|
