This commit introduces several improvements and refactorings across MCP tools, core logic, and configuration.
**Major Changes:**
1. **Refactor updateSubtaskById:**
- Switched from generateTextService to generateObjectService for structured AI responses, using a Zod schema (subtaskSchema) for validation.
- Revised prompts to have the AI generate relevant content based on user request and context (parent/sibling tasks), while explicitly preventing AI from handling timestamp/tag formatting.
- Implemented **local timestamp generation (new Date().toISOString()) and formatting** (using <info added on ...> tags) within the function *after* receiving the AI response. This ensures reliable and correctly formatted details are appended.
- Corrected logic to append only the locally formatted, AI-generated content block to the existing subtask.details.
2. **Consolidate MCP Utilities:**
- Moved/consolidated the withNormalizedProjectRoot HOF into mcp-server/src/tools/utils.js.
- Updated MCP tools (like update-subtask.js) to import withNormalizedProjectRoot from the new location.
3. **Refactor Project Initialization:**
- Deleted the redundant mcp-server/src/core/direct-functions/initialize-project-direct.js file.
- Updated mcp-server/src/core/task-master-core.js to import initializeProjectDirect from its correct location (./direct-functions/initialize-project.js).
**Other Changes:**
- Updated .taskmasterconfig fallback model to claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219.
- Clarified model cost representation in the models tool description (taskmaster.mdc and mcp-server/src/tools/models.js).

Problem: The MCP tool previously handled project root acquisition and path resolution within its method, leading to potential inconsistencies and repetition.
Solution: Refactored the tool () to utilize the new Higher-Order Function (HOF) from .
Specific Changes:
- Imported HOF.
- Updated the Zod schema for the parameter to be optional, as the HOF handles deriving it from the session if not provided.
- Wrapped the entire function body with the HOF.
- Removed the manual call to from within the function body.
- Destructured the from the object received by the wrapped function, ensuring it's the normalized path provided by the HOF.
- Used the normalized variable when calling and when passing arguments to .
This change standardizes project root handling for the tool, simplifies its method, and ensures consistent path normalization. This serves as the pattern for refactoring other MCP tools.

Problem: expand_task & expand_all MCP tools failed with .env keys due to missing projectRoot propagation for API key resolution. Also fixed a ReferenceError: wasSilent is not defined in expandTaskDirect.
Solution: Modified core logic, direct functions, and MCP tools for expand-task and expand-all to correctly destructure projectRoot from arguments and pass it down through the context object to the AI service call (generateTextService). Fixed wasSilent scope in expandTaskDirect.
Verification: Tested expand_task successfully in MCP using .env keys. Reviewed expand_all flow for correct projectRoot propagation.

Modified update-subtask-by-id core, direct function, and tool to pass projectRoot for .env API key fallback. Removed check preventing appending details to completed subtasks.

Modified analyze-task-complexity.js core function, direct function, and analyze.js tool to correctly pass projectRoot. Fixed import error in tools/index.js. Added debug logging to _resolveApiKey in ai-services-unified.js. This enables the .env API key fallback for analyze_project_complexity.

Modified ai-services-unified.js, update.js tool, and update-tasks.js direct function to correctly pass projectRoot. This enables the .env file API key fallback mechanism for the update command when running via MCP, ensuring consistent key resolution with the CLI context.

- 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.
