Fix issue with kebab-case validator incorrectly flagging single-word flags like --prompt. Refactor detectCamelCaseFlags to properly handle all single-word flags. Update tests to verify correct behavior with single-word and camelCase flags. Add support for alternative flag formats in init command (e.g., -my_name). This fixes a bug where users couldn't use the --prompt flag directly and had to use -p instead.

- Fix tests using ES Module best practices instead of complex mocking
- Replace Commander.js mocking with direct action handler testing
- Resolve ES Module import/mock issues and function redeclaration errors
- Fix circular reference issues with console.log spies
- Properly setup mock functions with jest.fn() for method access
- Improve parse-prd command functionality
- Add default PRD path support (scripts/prd.txt) so you can just run `task-master parse-prd` and it will use the default PRD if it exists.
- Improve error handling and user feedback
- Enhance help text with more detailed information
- Fix detectCamelCaseFlags implementation in utils.js yet again with more tests this time
- Improve regex pattern to correctly detect camelCase flags
- Skip flags already in kebab-case format
- Enhance tests with proper test-specific implementations
- Document testing best practices
- Add comprehensive "Common Testing Pitfalls and Solutions" section to tests.mdc
- Provide clear examples of correct testing patterns for ES modules
- Document techniques for test isolation and mock organization

- Elegantly exits if running into Claude errors like overloaded – closes Error Handling #24
- Fixed id column width in task-master show sub-task table – closes Subtask ID getting truncated #26
- Implements the integration tests for setTaskStatus, updateSingeTaskSTatus, listTasks and addTask
- Enhanced Unit Testing:* Vastly improved unit tests for the module, covering core functions, edge cases, and error handling. Simplified test functions and comprehensive mocking were implemented for better isolation and reliability.
- Added new section to tests.mdc detailing reliable testing techniques.
- CLI Kebab-Case Flag Enforcement: The CLI now enforces kebab-case for flags, providing helpful error messages when camelCase is used. This improves consistency and user experience. Commander is very particular about camelCase/--kebab-case
- AI Enhancements:
-- Enabled 128k token output for Claude 3.7 Sonnet by adding the beta header 'output-128k-2025-02-19' to the request headers in ai-services.js – this provides the full 128k context window (vs 64k) when using claude in task generation.
-- Added a new task (task_029.txt) to document this change and its testing strategy.
-- Added unit tests to verify the Anthropic client configuration we've added to the header
-- Added utility functions.
- Improved Test Coverage: Added tests for the new CLI flag validation logic.
- Upversion and publish task-master-ai@0.9.28

There was a leftover bug in one of the Claude calls for parse-prd -- this commit ensures that all Claude calls are streaming in case they last more than 10 seconds, which they can in many cases.
Adds a test for parse-prd to ensure functionality is bueno
Stubs in 80+ skipped tests for all of the other functions across modules. Everything is covered, about 50% of the tests are implemented. Use them with npm test. Let's implement them over time.
Adds --research to the update command so you can pull in Perplexity research to update tasks during a pivot
Small improvements
Adds unit tests for generateTaskFiles
Adds and completes task 25 for adding/remove subtasks manually
Fixes handling of kebab-case flags in the global cli
Subtasks for 24,26,27,28 (new tasks focused on adding context to task generation/updates/expands)
