Refactored `config-manager.js` to handle different execution contexts (CLI vs. MCP) and fixed related Jest tests.
- Modified `readConfig` and `writeConfig` to accept an optional `explicitRoot` parameter, allowing explicit path specification (e.g., from MCP) while retaining automatic project root finding for CLI usage.
- Updated getter/setter functions (`getMainProvider`, `setMainModel`, etc.) to accept and propagate the `explicitRoot`.
- Resolved Jest testing issues for dynamic imports by using `jest.unstable_mockModule` for `fs` and `chalk` dependencies *before* the dynamic `import()`.
- Corrected console error assertions in tests to match exact logged messages.
- Updated `.cursor/rules/tests.mdc` with guidelines for `jest.unstable_mockModule` and precise console assertions.

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.

Refactors parse-prd MCP tool to properly handle project root and path resolution, fixing the 'Input file not found: /scripts/prd.txt' error.
Key changes include: Made projectRoot a required parameter, prioritized args.projectRoot over session-derived paths, added validation to prevent parsing in invalid directories (/, home dir), improved error handling with detailed messages, and added creation of output directory if needed.
This resolves issues similar to those fixed in initialize-project, where the tool was incorrectly resolving paths when session context was incomplete.

- 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 fixes several issues with command line interface error handling:
1. Fix inconsistent behavior between --no-generate and --skip-generate:
- Standardized on --skip-generate across all commands
- Updated bin/task-master.js to use --skip-generate instead of --no-generate
- Modified add-subtask and remove-subtask commands to use --skip-generate
2. Enhance error handling for unknown options:
- Removed .allowUnknownOption() from commands to properly detect unknown options
- Added global error handler in bin/task-master.js for unknown commands/options
- Added command-specific error handlers with helpful error messages
3. Improve user experience with better help messages:
- Added helper functions to display formatted command help on errors
- Created command-specific help displays for add-subtask and remove-subtask
- Show available options when encountering unknown options
4. Update MCP server configuration:
- Modified .cursor/mcp.json to use node ./mcp-server/server.js directly
- Removed npx -y usage for more reliable execution
5. Other minor improvements:
- Adjusted column width for task ID display in UI
- Updated version number in package-lock.json to 0.9.30
This resolves issues where users would see confusing error messages like
'error: unknown option --generate' when using an incorrect flag."
