- Added 'defaultNumTasks: 10' to default config, now used in 'parse-prd'
- Adjusted 'parse-prd' and 'expand-task' to:
- Accept a 'numTasks' value of 0
- Updated tool and command descriptions
- Updated prompts to 'an appropriate number of' when value is 0
- Updated 'README-task-master.md' and 'command-reference.md' docs
- Added more tests for: 'parse-prd', 'expand-task' and 'config-manager'

- Enhance E2E testing and LLM analysis report and:
- Add --analyze-log flag to run_e2e.sh to re-run LLM analysis on existing logs.
- Add test:e2e and analyze-log scripts to package.json for easier execution.
- Correct display errors and dependency validation output:
- Update chalk usage in add-task.js to use bracket notation (chalk[color]) compatible with v5, resolving 'chalk.keyword is not a function' error.
- Modify fix-dependencies command output to show red failure box with issue count instead of green success box when validation fails.
- Refactor interactive model setup:
- Verify inclusion of 'No change' option during interactive model setup flow (task-master models --setup).
- Update model definitions:
- Add max_tokens field for gpt-4o in supported-models.json.
- Remove unused scripts:
- Delete prepare-package.js and rule-transformer.test.js.
Release candidate
This commit updates all relevant documentation (READMEs, docs/*, .cursor/rules) to accurately reflect the finalized unified AI service architecture and the new configuration system (.taskmasterconfig + .env/mcp.json). It also includes the final code cleanup steps related to the refactoring.
Key Changes:
1. **Documentation Updates:**
* Revised `README.md`, `README-task-master.md`, `assets/scripts_README.md`, `docs/configuration.md`, and `docs/tutorial.md` to explain the new configuration split (.taskmasterconfig vs .env/mcp.json).
* Updated MCP configuration examples in READMEs and tutorials to only include API keys in the `env` block.
* Added/updated examples for using the `--research` flag in `docs/command-reference.md`, `docs/examples.md`, and `docs/tutorial.md`.
* Updated `.cursor/rules/ai_services.mdc`, `.cursor/rules/architecture.mdc`, `.cursor/rules/dev_workflow.mdc`, `.cursor/rules/mcp.mdc`, `.cursor/rules/taskmaster.mdc`, `.cursor/rules/utilities.mdc`, and `.cursor/rules/new_features.mdc` to align with the new architecture, removing references to old patterns/files.
* Removed internal rule links from user-facing rules (`taskmaster.mdc`, `dev_workflow.mdc`, `self_improve.mdc`).
* Deleted outdated example file `docs/ai-client-utils-example.md`.
2. **Final Code Refactor & Cleanup:**
* Corrected `update-task-by-id.js` by removing the last import from the old `ai-services.js`.
* Refactored `update-subtask-by-id.js` to correctly use the unified service and logger patterns.
* Removed the obsolete export block from `mcp-server/src/core/task-master-core.js`.
* Corrected logger implementation in `update-tasks.js` for CLI context.
* Updated API key mapping in `config-manager.js` and `ai-services-unified.js`.
3. **Configuration Files:**
* Updated API keys in `.cursor/mcp.json`, replacing `GROK_API_KEY` with `XAI_API_KEY`.
* Updated `.env.example` with current API key names.
* Added `azureOpenaiBaseUrl` to `.taskmasterconfig` example.
4. **Task Management:**
* Marked documentation subtask 61.10 as 'done'.
* Includes various other task content/status updates from the diff summary.
5. **Changeset:**
* Added `.changeset/cuddly-zebras-matter.md` for user-facing `expand`/`expand-all` improvements.
This commit concludes the major architectural refactoring (Task 61) and ensures the documentation accurately reflects the current system.
- Implemented and commands:
- Added validation to prevent circular and duplicate dependencies.
- Ensured proper error handling for invalid task IDs.
- Updated task files (tasks.json and individual task files) after changes.
- Enhanced the command to provide a detailed view of tasks:
- Displayed dependencies with status (using color-coded output).
- Included comprehensive task information (description, details, etc.).
- Updated documentation: README, scripts/README.md, and dev_workflow.mdc.
- Prepared package for publishing (version bump).
This commit resolves several issues with the task expansion system to
ensure higher quality subtasks and better synchronization:
1. Task File Generation
- Add automatic regeneration of task files after expanding tasks
- Ensure individual task text files stay in sync with tasks.json
- Avoids manual regeneration steps after task expansion
2. Perplexity API Integration
- Fix 'researchPrompt is not defined' error in Perplexity integration
- Add specialized research-oriented prompt template
- Improve system message for better context and instruction
- Better fallback to Claude when Perplexity unavailable
3. Subtask Parsing Improvements
- Enhance regex pattern to handle more formatting variations
- Implement multiple parsing strategies for different response formats:
* Improved section detection with flexible headings
* Added support for numbered and bulleted lists
* Implemented heuristic-based title and description extraction
- Create more meaningful dummy subtasks with relevant titles and descriptions
instead of generic placeholders
- Ensure minimal descriptions are always provided
4. Quality Verification and Retry System
- Add post-expansion verification to identify low-quality subtask sets
- Detect tasks with too many generic/placeholder subtasks
- Implement interactive retry mechanism with enhanced prompts
- Use adjusted settings for retries (research mode, subtask count)
- Clear existing subtasks before retry to prevent duplicates
- Provide detailed reporting of verification and retry process
These changes significantly improve the quality of generated subtasks
and reduce the need for manual intervention when subtask generation
produces suboptimal results.
