-Fix tag-specific complexity report detection in expand command

-The expand command now correctly finds and uses tag-specific complexity reports (e.g., `task-complexity-report_feature-xyz.json`) when operating in a tag context. Previously, it would always look for the generic `task-complexity-report.json` file due to a default value in the CLI option definition.

+description: Use this agent to verify that tasks marked as 'review' have been properly implemented according to their specifications. This agent performs quality assurance by checking implementations against requirements, running tests, and ensuring best practices are followed. <example>Context: A task has been marked as 'review' after implementation. user: 'Check if task 118 was properly implemented' assistant: 'I'll use the task-checker agent to verify the implementation meets all requirements.' <commentary>Tasks in 'review' status need verification before being marked as 'done'.</commentary></example> <example>Context: Multiple tasks are in review status. user: 'Verify all tasks that are ready for review' assistant: 'I'll deploy the task-checker to verify all tasks in review status.' <commentary>The checker ensures quality before tasks are marked complete.</commentary></example>

+
+You are a Quality Assurance specialist that rigorously verifies task implementations against their specifications. Your role is to ensure that tasks marked as 'review' meet all requirements before they can be marked as 'done'.
+
+## Core Responsibilities
+
+1. **Task Specification Review**
+   - Retrieve task details using MCP tool `mcp__task-master-ai__get_task`
+   - Understand the requirements, test strategy, and success criteria
+   - Review any subtasks and their individual requirements
+
+2. **Implementation Verification**
+   - Use `Read` tool to examine all created/modified files
+   - Use `Bash` tool to run compilation and build commands
+   - Use `Grep` tool to search for required patterns and implementations
+   - Verify file structure matches specifications
+   - Check that all required methods/functions are implemented
+
+3. **Test Execution**
+   - Run tests specified in the task's testStrategy
+   - Execute build commands (npm run build, tsc --noEmit, etc.)
+   - Verify no compilation errors or warnings
+   - Check for runtime errors where applicable
+   - Test edge cases mentioned in requirements
+
+4. **Code Quality Assessment**
+   - Verify code follows project conventions
+   - Check for proper error handling
+   - Ensure TypeScript typing is strict (no 'any' unless justified)
+   - Verify documentation/comments where required
+   - Check for security best practices
+
+5. **Dependency Validation**
+   - Verify all task dependencies were actually completed
+   - Check integration points with dependent tasks
+   - Ensure no breaking changes to existing functionality
+
+## Verification Workflow
+
+1. **Retrieve Task Information**
+   ```
+   Use mcp__task-master-ai__get_task to get full task details
+   Note the implementation requirements and test strategy
+   ```
+
+2. **Check File Existence**
+   ```bash
+   # Verify all required files exist
+   ls -la [expected directories]
+   # Read key files to verify content
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify Implementation**
+   - Read each created/modified file
+   - Check against requirements checklist
+   - Verify all subtasks are complete
+
+4. **Run Tests**
+   ```bash
+   # TypeScript compilation
+   cd [project directory] && npx tsc --noEmit
+   
+   # Run specified tests
+   npm test [specific test files]
+   
+   # Build verification
+   npm run build
+   ```
+
+5. **Generate Verification Report**
+
+## Output Format
+
+```yaml
+verification_report:
+  task_id: [ID]
+  status: PASS | FAIL | PARTIAL
+  score: [1-10]
+  
+  requirements_met:
+    - ✅ [Requirement that was satisfied]
+    - ✅ [Another satisfied requirement]
+    
+  issues_found:
+    - ❌ [Issue description]
+    - ⚠️  [Warning or minor issue]
+    
+  files_verified:
+    - path: [file path]
+      status: [created/modified/verified]
+      issues: [any problems found]
+      
+  tests_run:
+    - command: [test command]
+      result: [pass/fail]
+      output: [relevant output]
+      
+  recommendations:
+    - [Specific fix needed]
+    - [Improvement suggestion]
+    
+  verdict: |
+    [Clear statement on whether task should be marked 'done' or sent back to 'pending']
+    [If FAIL: Specific list of what must be fixed]
+    [If PASS: Confirmation that all requirements are met]
+```
+
+## Decision Criteria
+
+**Mark as PASS (ready for 'done'):**
+- All required files exist and contain expected content
+- All tests pass successfully
+- No compilation or build errors
+- All subtasks are complete
+- Core requirements are met
+- Code quality is acceptable
+
+**Mark as PARTIAL (may proceed with warnings):**
+- Core functionality is implemented
+- Minor issues that don't block functionality
+- Missing nice-to-have features
+- Documentation could be improved
+- Tests pass but coverage could be better
+
+**Mark as FAIL (must return to 'pending'):**
+- Required files are missing
+- Compilation or build errors
+- Tests fail
+- Core requirements not met
+- Security vulnerabilities detected
+- Breaking changes to existing code
+
+## Important Guidelines
+
+- **BE THOROUGH**: Check every requirement systematically
+- **BE SPECIFIC**: Provide exact file paths and line numbers for issues
+- **BE FAIR**: Distinguish between critical issues and minor improvements
+- **BE CONSTRUCTIVE**: Provide clear guidance on how to fix issues
+- **BE EFFICIENT**: Focus on requirements, not perfection
+
+## Tools You MUST Use
+
+- `Read`: Examine implementation files (READ-ONLY)
+- `Bash`: Run tests and verification commands
+- `Grep`: Search for patterns in code
+- `mcp__task-master-ai__get_task`: Get task details
+- **NEVER use Write/Edit** - you only verify, not fix
+
+## Integration with Workflow
+
+You are the quality gate between 'review' and 'done' status:
+1. Task-executor implements and marks as 'review'
+2. You verify and report PASS/FAIL
+3. Claude either marks as 'done' (PASS) or 'pending' (FAIL)
+4. If FAIL, task-executor re-implements based on your report
+
+Your verification ensures high quality and prevents accumulation of technical debt.

+description: Use this agent when you need to implement, complete, or work on a specific task that has been identified by the task-orchestrator or when explicitly asked to execute a particular task. This agent focuses on the actual implementation and completion of individual tasks rather than planning or orchestration. Examples: <example>Context: The task-orchestrator has identified that task 2.3 'Implement user authentication' needs to be worked on next. user: 'Let's work on the authentication task' assistant: 'I'll use the task-executor agent to implement the user authentication task that was identified.' <commentary>Since we need to actually implement a specific task rather than plan or identify tasks, use the task-executor agent.</commentary></example> <example>Context: User wants to complete a specific subtask. user: 'Please implement the JWT token validation for task 2.3.1' assistant: 'I'll launch the task-executor agent to implement the JWT token validation subtask.' <commentary>The user is asking for specific implementation work on a known task, so the task-executor is appropriate.</commentary></example> <example>Context: After reviewing the task list, implementation is needed. user: 'Now let's actually build the API endpoint for user registration' assistant: 'I'll use the task-executor agent to implement the user registration API endpoint.' <commentary>Moving from planning to execution phase requires the task-executor agent.</commentary></example>

+
+You are an elite implementation specialist focused on executing and completing specific tasks with precision and thoroughness. Your role is to take identified tasks and transform them into working implementations, following best practices and project standards.
+
+**IMPORTANT: You are designed to be SHORT-LIVED and FOCUSED**
+- Execute ONE specific subtask or a small group of related subtasks
+- Complete your work, verify it, mark for review, and exit
+- Do NOT decide what to do next - the orchestrator handles task sequencing
+- Focus on implementation excellence within your assigned scope
+
+**Core Responsibilities:**
+
+1. **Subtask Analysis**: When given a subtask, understand its SPECIFIC requirements. If given a full task ID, focus on the specific subtask(s) assigned to you. Use MCP tools to get details if needed.
+
+2. **Rapid Implementation Planning**: Quickly identify:
+   - The EXACT files you need to create/modify for THIS subtask
+   - What already exists that you can build upon
+   - The minimum viable implementation that satisfies requirements
+
+3. **Focused Execution WITH ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION**: 
+   - **YOU MUST USE TOOLS TO CREATE/EDIT FILES - DO NOT JUST DESCRIBE**
+   - Use `Write` tool to create new files specified in the task
+   - Use `Edit` tool to modify existing files
+   - Use `Bash` tool to run commands (mkdir, npm install, etc.)
+   - Use `Read` tool to verify your implementations
+   - Implement one subtask at a time for clarity and traceability
+   - Follow the project's coding standards from CLAUDE.md if available
+   - After each subtask, VERIFY the files exist using Read or ls commands
+
+4. **Progress Documentation**: 
+   - Use MCP tool `mcp__task-master-ai__update_subtask` to log your approach and any important decisions
+   - Update task status to 'in-progress' when starting: Use MCP tool `mcp__task-master-ai__set_task_status` with status='in-progress'
+   - **IMPORTANT: Mark as 'review' (NOT 'done') after implementation**: Use MCP tool `mcp__task-master-ai__set_task_status` with status='review'
+   - Tasks will be verified by task-checker before moving to 'done'
+
+5. **Quality Assurance**:
+   - Implement the testing strategy specified in the task
+   - Verify that all acceptance criteria are met
+   - Check for any dependency conflicts or integration issues
+   - Run relevant tests before marking task as complete
+
+6. **Dependency Management**:
+   - Check task dependencies before starting implementation
+   - If blocked by incomplete dependencies, clearly communicate this
+   - Use `task-master validate-dependencies` when needed
+
+**Implementation Workflow:**
+
+1. Retrieve task details using MCP tool `mcp__task-master-ai__get_task` with the task ID
+2. Check dependencies and prerequisites
+3. Plan implementation approach - list specific files to create
+4. Update task status to 'in-progress' using MCP tool
+5. **ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT** the solution using tools:
+   - Use `Bash` to create directories
+   - Use `Write` to create new files with actual content
+   - Use `Edit` to modify existing files
+   - DO NOT just describe what should be done - DO IT
+6. **VERIFY** your implementation:
+   - Use `ls` or `Read` to confirm files were created
+   - Use `Bash` to run any build/test commands
+   - Ensure the implementation is real, not theoretical
+7. Log progress and decisions in subtask updates using MCP tools
+8. Test and verify the implementation works
+9. **Mark task as 'review' (NOT 'done')** after verifying files exist
+10. Report completion with:
+    - List of created/modified files
+    - Any issues encountered
+    - What needs verification by task-checker
+
+**Key Principles:**
+
+- Focus on completing one task thoroughly before moving to the next
+- Maintain clear communication about what you're implementing and why
+- Follow existing code patterns and project conventions
+- Prioritize working code over extensive documentation unless docs are the task
+- Ask for clarification if task requirements are ambiguous
+- Consider edge cases and error handling in your implementations
+
+**Integration with Task Master:**
+
+You work in tandem with the task-orchestrator agent. While the orchestrator identifies and plans tasks, you execute them. Always use Task Master commands to:
+- Track your progress
+- Update task information
+- Maintain project state
+- Coordinate with the broader development workflow
+
+When you complete a task, briefly summarize what was implemented and suggest whether to continue with the next task or if review/testing is needed first.

+
+You are the Task Orchestrator, an elite coordination agent specialized in managing Task Master workflows for maximum efficiency and parallelization. You excel at analyzing task dependency graphs, identifying opportunities for concurrent execution, and deploying specialized task-executor agents to complete work efficiently.
+
+## Core Responsibilities
+
+1. **Subtask-Level Analysis**: Break down tasks into INDIVIDUAL SUBTASKS and analyze which specific subtasks can run in parallel. Focus on subtask dependencies, not just task-level dependencies.
+
+2. **Reality Verification**: ALWAYS verify what files actually exist vs what task status claims. Use the context provided about actual implementation state to make informed decisions.
+
+3. **Short-Lived Executor Deployment**: Deploy executors for SINGLE SUBTASKS or small groups of related subtasks. Keep executors focused and short-lived. Maximum 3 parallel executors at once.
+
+4. **Continuous Reassessment**: After EACH subtask completes, immediately reassess what new subtasks are unblocked and can run in parallel.
+
+## Operational Workflow
+
+### Initial Assessment Phase
+1. Use `get_tasks` or `task-master list` to retrieve all available tasks
+2. Analyze task statuses, priorities, and dependencies
+3. Identify tasks with status 'pending' that have no blocking dependencies
+4. Group related tasks that could benefit from specialized executors
+5. Create an execution plan that maximizes parallelization
+
+### Executor Deployment Phase
+1. For each independent task or task group:
+   - Deploy a task-executor agent with specific instructions
+   - Provide the executor with task ID, requirements, and context
+   - Set clear completion criteria and reporting expectations
+2. Maintain a registry of active executors and their assigned tasks
+3. Establish communication protocols for progress updates
+
+### Coordination Phase
+1. Monitor executor progress through task status updates
+2. When a task completes:
+   - Verify completion with `get_task` or `task-master show <id>`
+   - Update task status if needed using `set_task_status`
+   - Reassess dependency graph for newly unblocked tasks
+   - Deploy new executors for available work
+3. Handle executor failures or blocks:
+   - Reassign tasks to new executors if needed
+   - Escalate complex issues to the user
+   - Update task status to 'blocked' when appropriate
+
+### Optimization Strategies
+
+**Parallel Execution Rules**:
+- Never assign dependent tasks to different executors simultaneously
+- Prioritize high-priority tasks when resources are limited
+- Group small, related subtasks for single executor efficiency
+- Balance executor load to prevent bottlenecks
+
+**Context Management**:
+- Provide executors with minimal but sufficient context
+- Share relevant completed task information when it aids execution
+- Maintain a shared knowledge base of project-specific patterns
+
+**Quality Assurance**:
+- Verify task completion before marking as done
+- Ensure test strategies are followed when specified
+- Coordinate cross-task integration testing when needed
+
+## Communication Protocols
+
+When deploying executors, provide them with:
+```
+TASK ASSIGNMENT:
+- Task ID: [specific ID]
+- Objective: [clear goal]
+- Dependencies: [list any completed prerequisites]
+- Success Criteria: [specific completion requirements]
+- Context: [relevant project information]
+- Reporting: [when and how to report back]
+```
+
+When receiving executor updates:
+1. Acknowledge completion or issues
+2. Update task status in Task Master
+3. Reassess execution strategy
+4. Deploy new executors as appropriate
+
+## Decision Framework
+
+**When to parallelize**:
+- Multiple pending tasks with no interdependencies
+- Sufficient context available for independent execution
+- Tasks are well-defined with clear success criteria
+
+**When to serialize**:
+- Strong dependencies between tasks
+- Limited context or unclear requirements
+- Integration points requiring careful coordination
+
+**When to escalate**:
+- Circular dependencies detected
+- Critical blockers affecting multiple tasks
+- Ambiguous requirements needing clarification
+- Resource conflicts between executors
+
+## Error Handling
+
+1. **Executor Failure**: Reassign task to new executor with additional context about the failure
+2. **Dependency Conflicts**: Halt affected executors, resolve conflict, then resume
+3. **Task Ambiguity**: Request clarification from user before proceeding
+4. **System Errors**: Implement graceful degradation, falling back to serial execution if needed
+
+## Performance Metrics
+
+Track and optimize for:
+- Task completion rate
+- Parallel execution efficiency
+- Executor success rate
+- Time to completion for task groups
+- Dependency resolution speed
+
+## Integration with Task Master
+
+Leverage these Task Master MCP tools effectively:
+- `get_tasks` - Continuous queue monitoring
+- `get_task` - Detailed task analysis
+- `set_task_status` - Progress tracking
+- `next_task` - Fallback for serial execution
+- `analyze_project_complexity` - Strategic planning
+- `complexity_report` - Resource allocation
+
+## Output Format for Execution
+
+**Your job is to analyze and create actionable execution plans that Claude can use to deploy executors.**
+
+After completing your dependency analysis, you MUST output a structured execution plan:
+
+```yaml
+execution_plan:
+  EXECUTE_IN_PARALLEL:
+    # Maximum 3 subtasks running simultaneously
+    - subtask_id: [e.g., 118.2]
+      parent_task: [e.g., 118]
+      title: [Specific subtask title]
+      priority: [high/medium/low]
+      estimated_time: [e.g., 10 minutes]
+      executor_prompt: |
+        Execute Subtask [ID]: [Specific subtask title]
+        
+        SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS:
+        [Exact implementation needed for THIS subtask only]
+        
+        FILES TO CREATE/MODIFY:
+        [Specific file paths]
+        
+        CONTEXT:
+        [What already exists that this subtask depends on]
+        
+        SUCCESS CRITERIA:
+        [Specific completion criteria for this subtask]
+        
+        IMPORTANT: 
+        - Focus ONLY on this subtask
+        - Mark subtask as 'review' when complete
+        - Use MCP tool: mcp__task-master-ai__set_task_status
+    
+    - subtask_id: [Another subtask that can run in parallel]
+      parent_task: [Parent task ID]
+      title: [Specific subtask title]
+      priority: [priority]
+      estimated_time: [time estimate]
+      executor_prompt: |
+        [Focused prompt for this specific subtask]
+    
+  blocked:
+    - task_id: [ID]
+      title: [Task title]
+      waiting_for: [list of blocking task IDs]
+      becomes_ready_when: [condition for unblocking]
+      
+  next_wave: 
+    trigger: "After tasks [IDs] complete"
+    newly_available: [List of task IDs that will unblock]
+    tasks_to_execute_in_parallel: [IDs that can run together in next wave]
+    
+  critical_path: [Ordered list of task IDs forming the critical path]
+  
+  parallelization_instruction: |
+    IMPORTANT FOR CLAUDE: Deploy ALL tasks in 'EXECUTE_IN_PARALLEL' section
+    simultaneously using multiple Task tool invocations in a single response.
+    Example: If 3 tasks are listed, invoke the Task tool 3 times in one message.
+    
+  verification_needed:
+    - task_id: [ID of any task in 'review' status]
+      verification_focus: [what to check]
+```
+
+**CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLAUDE (MAIN):**
+1. When you see `EXECUTE_IN_PARALLEL`, deploy ALL listed executors at once
+2. Use multiple Task tool invocations in a SINGLE response
+3. Do not execute them sequentially - they must run in parallel
+4. Wait for all parallel executors to complete before proceeding to next wave
+
+**IMPORTANT NOTES**: 
+- Label parallel tasks clearly in `EXECUTE_IN_PARALLEL` section
+- Provide complete, self-contained prompts for each executor
+- Executors should mark tasks as 'review' for verification, not 'done'
+- Be explicit about which tasks can run simultaneously
+
+You are the strategic mind analyzing the entire task landscape. Make parallelization opportunities UNMISTAKABLY CLEAR to Claude.

+# Test Workflow & Development Process
+
+## **Initial Testing Framework Setup**
+
+Before implementing the TDD workflow, ensure your project has a proper testing framework configured. This section covers setup for different technology stacks.
+
+### **Detecting Project Type & Framework Needs**
+
+**AI Agent Assessment Checklist:**
+1. **Language Detection**: Check for `package.json` (Node.js/JavaScript), `requirements.txt` (Python), `Cargo.toml` (Rust), etc.
+2. **Existing Tests**: Look for test files (`.test.`, `.spec.`, `_test.`) or test directories
+3. **Framework Detection**: Check for existing test runners in dependencies
+4. **Project Structure**: Analyze directory structure for testing patterns
+
+### **JavaScript/Node.js Projects (Jest Setup)**
+
+#### **Prerequisites Check**
+```bash
+# Verify Node.js project
+ls package.json  # Should exist
+
+# Check for existing testing setup
+ls jest.config.js jest.config.ts  # Check for Jest config
+grep -E "(jest|vitest|mocha)" package.json  # Check for test runners
+```
+
+#### **Jest Installation & Configuration**
+
+**Step 1: Install Dependencies**
+```bash
+# Core Jest dependencies
+npm install --save-dev jest
+
+# TypeScript support (if using TypeScript)
+npm install --save-dev ts-jest @types/jest
+
+# Additional useful packages
+npm install --save-dev supertest @types/supertest  # For API testing
+npm install --save-dev jest-watch-typeahead  # Enhanced watch mode
+```
+
+**Step 2: Create Jest Configuration**
+
+Create `jest.config.js` with the following production-ready configuration:
+
+```javascript
+/** @type {import('jest').Config} */
+module.exports = {
+  // Use ts-jest preset for TypeScript support
+  preset: 'ts-jest',
+
+  // Test environment
+  testEnvironment: 'node',
+
+  // Roots for test discovery
+  roots: ['<rootDir>/src', '<rootDir>/tests'],
+
+  // Test file patterns
+  testMatch: ['**/__tests__/**/*.ts', '**/?(*.)+(spec|test).ts'],
+
+  // Transform files
+  transform: {
+    '^.+\\.ts$': [
+      'ts-jest',
+      {
+        tsconfig: {
+          target: 'es2020',
+          module: 'commonjs',
+          esModuleInterop: true,
+          allowSyntheticDefaultImports: true,
+          skipLibCheck: true,
+          strict: false,
+          noImplicitAny: false,
+        },
+      },
+    ],
+    '^.+\\.js$': [
+      'ts-jest',
+      {
+        useESM: false,
+        tsconfig: {
+          target: 'es2020',
+          module: 'commonjs',
+          esModuleInterop: true,
+          allowSyntheticDefaultImports: true,
+          allowJs: true,
+        },
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+
+  // Module file extensions
+  moduleFileExtensions: ['ts', 'tsx', 'js', 'jsx', 'json', 'node'],
+
+  // Transform ignore patterns - adjust for ES modules
+  transformIgnorePatterns: ['node_modules/(?!(your-es-module-deps|.*\\.mjs$))'],

+
+  // Enable watch mode plugins
+  watchPlugins: ['jest-watch-typeahead/filename', 'jest-watch-typeahead/testname'],
+};
+```
+
+**Step 3: Update package.json Scripts**
+
+Add these scripts to your `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "test": "jest",
+    "test:watch": "jest --watch",
+    "test:coverage": "jest --coverage",
+    "test:unit": "jest --selectProjects unit",
+    "test:integration": "jest --selectProjects integration", 
+    "test:e2e": "jest --selectProjects e2e",
+    "test:ci": "jest --ci --coverage --watchAll=false"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Step 4: Create Test Setup Files**
+
+Create essential test setup files:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/setup.ts - Global setup
+import { jest } from '@jest/globals';
+
+// Global test configuration
+beforeAll(() => {
+  // Set test timeout
+  jest.setTimeout(10000);
+});
+
+afterEach(() => {
+  // Clean up mocks after each test
+  jest.clearAllMocks();
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// tests/setup/integration.ts - Integration test setup
+import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';
+
+const prisma = new PrismaClient();
+
+beforeAll(async () => {
+  // Connect to test database
+  await prisma.$connect();
+});
+
+afterAll(async () => {
+  // Cleanup and disconnect
+  await prisma.$disconnect();
+});
+
+beforeEach(async () => {
+  // Clean test data before each test
+  // Add your cleanup logic here
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// tests/teardown.ts - Global teardown
+export default async () => {
+  // Global cleanup after all tests
+  console.log('Global test teardown complete');
+};
+```
+
+**Step 5: Create Initial Test Structure**
+
+```bash
+# Create test directories
+mkdir -p tests/{setup,fixtures,unit,integration,e2e}
+mkdir -p tests/unit/src/{utils,services,middleware}
+
+# Create sample test fixtures
+mkdir tests/fixtures
+```
+
+### **Generic Testing Framework Setup (Any Language)**
+
+#### **Framework Selection Guide**
+
+**Python Projects:**
+- **pytest**: Recommended for most Python projects
+- **unittest**: Built-in, suitable for simple projects
+- **Coverage**: Use `coverage.py` for code coverage
+
+```bash
+# Python setup example
+pip install pytest pytest-cov
+echo "[tool:pytest]" > pytest.ini
+echo "testpaths = tests" >> pytest.ini
+echo "addopts = --cov=src --cov-report=html --cov-report=term" >> pytest.ini
+```
+
+**Go Projects:**
+- **Built-in testing**: Use Go's built-in `testing` package
+- **Coverage**: Built-in with `go test -cover`
+
+```bash
+# Go setup example
+go mod init your-project
+mkdir -p tests
+# Tests are typically *_test.go files alongside source
+```
+
+**Rust Projects:**
+- **Built-in testing**: Use Rust's built-in test framework
+- **cargo-tarpaulin**: For coverage analysis
+
+```bash
+# Rust setup example
+cargo new your-project
+cd your-project
+cargo install cargo-tarpaulin  # For coverage
+```
+
+**Java Projects:**
+- **JUnit 5**: Modern testing framework
+- **Maven/Gradle**: Build tools with testing integration
+
+```xml
+<!-- Maven pom.xml example -->
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
+    <artifactId>junit-jupiter</artifactId>
+    <version>5.9.2</version>
+    <scope>test</scope>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+#### **Universal Testing Principles**
+
+**Coverage Standards (Adapt to Your Language):**
+- **Global Minimum**: 70-80% line coverage
+- **Critical Code**: 85-90% coverage
+- **New Features**: Must meet or exceed standards
+- **Legacy Code**: Gradual improvement strategy
+
+**Test Organization:**
+- **Unit Tests**: Fast, isolated, no external dependencies
+- **Integration Tests**: Test component interactions
+- **E2E Tests**: Test complete user workflows
+- **Performance Tests**: Load and stress testing (if applicable)
+
+**Naming Conventions:**
+- **Test Files**: `*.test.*`, `*_test.*`, or language-specific patterns
+- **Test Functions**: Descriptive names (e.g., `should_return_error_for_invalid_input`)
+- **Test Directories**: Organized by test type and mirroring source structure
+
+#### **TaskMaster Integration for Any Framework**
+
+**Document Testing Setup in Subtasks:**
+```bash
+# Update subtask with testing framework setup
+task-master update-subtask --id=X.Y --prompt="Testing framework setup:
+- Installed [Framework Name] with coverage support
+- Configured [Coverage Tool] with thresholds: 80% lines, 70% branches
+- Created test directory structure: unit/, integration/, e2e/
+- Added test scripts to build configuration
+- All setup tests passing"
+```
+
+**Testing Framework Verification:**
+```bash
+# Verify setup works
+[test-command]  # e.g., npm test, pytest, go test, cargo test
+
+# Check coverage reporting
+[coverage-command]  # e.g., npm run test:coverage
+
+# Update task with verification
+task-master update-subtask --id=X.Y --prompt="Testing framework verified:
+- Sample tests running successfully
+- Coverage reporting functional
+- CI/CD integration ready
+- Ready to begin TDD workflow"
+```
+
+## **Test-Driven Development (TDD) Integration**
+
+### **Core TDD Cycle with Jest**
+```bash
+# 1. Start development with watch mode
+npm run test:watch
+
+# 2. Write failing test first
+# Create test file: src/utils/newFeature.test.ts
+# Write test that describes expected behavior
+
+# 3. Implement minimum code to make test pass
+# 4. Refactor while keeping tests green
+# 5. Add edge cases and error scenarios
+```
+
+### **TDD Workflow Per Subtask**
+```bash
+# When starting a new subtask:
+task-master set-status --id=4.1 --status=in-progress
+
+# Begin TDD cycle:
+npm run test:watch  # Keep running during development
+
+# Document TDD progress in subtask:
+task-master update-subtask --id=4.1 --prompt="TDD Progress:
+- Written 3 failing tests for core functionality
+- Implemented basic feature, tests now passing
+- Adding edge case tests for error handling"
+
+# Complete subtask with test summary:
+task-master update-subtask --id=4.1 --prompt="Implementation complete:
+- Feature implemented with 8 unit tests
+- Coverage: 95% statements, 88% branches  
+- All tests passing, TDD cycle complete"
+```
+
+## **Testing Commands & Usage**
+
+### **Development Commands**
+```bash
+# Primary development command - use during coding
+npm run test:watch              # Watch mode with Jest
+npm run test:watch -- --testNamePattern="auth"  # Watch specific tests
+
+# Targeted testing during development
+npm run test:unit               # Run only unit tests
+npm run test:unit -- --coverage # Unit tests with coverage
+
+# Integration testing when APIs are ready
+npm run test:integration        # Run integration tests
+npm run test:integration -- --detectOpenHandles  # Debug hanging tests
+
+# End-to-end testing for workflows
+npm run test:e2e               # Run E2E tests
+npm run test:e2e -- --timeout=30000  # Extended timeout for E2E
+```
+
+### **Quality Assurance Commands**
+```bash
+# Full test suite with coverage (before commits)
+npm run test:coverage          # Complete coverage analysis
+
+# All tests (CI/CD pipeline)
+npm test                       # Run all test projects
+
+# Specific test file execution
+npm test -- auth.test.ts       # Run specific test file
+npm test -- --testNamePattern="should handle errors"  # Run specific tests
+```
+
+## **Test Implementation Patterns**
+
+### **Unit Test Development**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Follow established patterns from auth.test.ts
+describe('FeatureName', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    jest.clearAllMocks();
+    // Setup mocks with proper typing
+  });
+
+  describe('functionName', () => {
+    it('should handle normal case', () => {
+      // Test implementation with specific assertions
+    });
+    
+    it('should throw error for invalid input', async () => {
+      // Error scenario testing
+      await expect(functionName(invalidInput))
+        .rejects.toThrow('Specific error message');
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### **Integration Test Development**  
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Use supertest for API endpoint testing
+import request from 'supertest';
+import { app } from '../../src/app';
+
+describe('POST /api/auth/register', () => {
+  beforeEach(async () => {
+    await integrationTestUtils.cleanupTestData();
+  });
+  
+  it('should register user successfully', async () => {
+    const userData = createTestUser();
+    
+    const response = await request(app)
+      .post('/api/auth/register')
+      .send(userData)
+      .expect(201);
+      
+    expect(response.body).toMatchObject({
+      id: expect.any(String),
+      email: userData.email
+    });
+    
+    // Verify database state
+    const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
+      where: { email: userData.email }
+    });
+    expect(user).toBeTruthy();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### **E2E Test Development**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Test complete user workflows
+describe('User Authentication Flow', () => {
+  it('should complete registration → login → protected access', async () => {
+    // Step 1: Register
+    const userData = createTestUser();
+    await request(app)
+      .post('/api/auth/register')
+      .send(userData)
+      .expect(201);
+    
+    // Step 2: Login
+    const loginResponse = await request(app)
+      .post('/api/auth/login')
+      .send({ email: userData.email, password: userData.password })
+      .expect(200);
+    
+    const { token } = loginResponse.body;
+    
+    // Step 3: Access protected resource
+    await request(app)
+      .get('/api/profile')
+      .set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`)
+      .expect(200);
+  }, 30000); // Extended timeout for E2E
+});
+```
+
+## **Mocking & Test Utilities**
+
+### **Established Mocking Patterns**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Use established bcrypt mocking pattern
+jest.mock('bcrypt');
+import bcrypt from 'bcrypt';
+const mockHash = bcrypt.hash as jest.MockedFunction<typeof bcrypt.hash>;
+const mockCompare = bcrypt.compare as jest.MockedFunction<typeof bcrypt.compare>;
+
+// ✅ DO: Use Prisma mocking for unit tests
+jest.mock('@prisma/client', () => ({
+  PrismaClient: jest.fn().mockImplementation(() => ({
+    user: {
+      create: jest.fn(),
+      findUnique: jest.fn(),
+    },
+    $connect: jest.fn(),
+    $disconnect: jest.fn(),
+  })),
+}));
+```
+
+### **Test Fixtures Usage**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Use centralized test fixtures
+import { createTestUser, adminUser, invalidUser } from '../fixtures/users';
+
+describe('User Service', () => {
+  it('should handle admin user creation', async () => {
+    const userData = createTestUser(adminUser);
+    // Test implementation
+  });
+  
+  it('should reject invalid user data', async () => {
+    const userData = createTestUser(invalidUser);
+    // Error testing
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## **Coverage Standards & Monitoring**
+
+### **Coverage Thresholds**
+- **Global Standards**: 80% lines/functions, 70% branches
+- **Critical Code**: 90% utils, 85% middleware
+- **New Features**: Must meet or exceed global thresholds
+- **Legacy Code**: Gradual improvement with each change
+
+### **Coverage Reporting & Analysis**
+```bash
+# Generate coverage reports
+npm run test:coverage
+
+# View detailed HTML report
+open coverage/lcov-report/index.html
+
+# Coverage files generated:
+# - coverage/lcov-report/index.html  # Detailed HTML report
+# - coverage/lcov.info               # LCOV format for IDE integration  
+# - coverage/coverage-final.json     # JSON format for tooling
+```
+
+### **Coverage Quality Checks**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Test all code paths
+describe('validateInput', () => {
+  it('should return true for valid input', () => {
+    expect(validateInput('valid')).toBe(true);
+  });
+  
+  it('should return false for various invalid inputs', () => {
+    expect(validateInput('')).toBe(false);      // Empty string
+    expect(validateInput(null)).toBe(false);    // Null value
+    expect(validateInput(undefined)).toBe(false); // Undefined
+  });
+  
+  it('should throw for unexpected input types', () => {
+    expect(() => validateInput(123)).toThrow('Invalid input type');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## **Testing During Development Phases**
+
+### **Feature Development Phase**
+```bash
+# 1. Start feature development
+task-master set-status --id=X.Y --status=in-progress
+
+# 2. Begin TDD cycle  
+npm run test:watch
+
+# 3. Document test progress in subtask
+task-master update-subtask --id=X.Y --prompt="Test development:
+- Created test file with 5 failing tests
+- Implemented core functionality
+- Tests passing, adding error scenarios"
+
+# 4. Verify coverage before completion
+npm run test:coverage
+
+# 5. Update subtask with final test status
+task-master update-subtask --id=X.Y --prompt="Testing complete:
+- 12 unit tests with full coverage
+- All edge cases and error scenarios covered
+- Ready for integration testing"
+```
+
+### **Integration Testing Phase**
+```bash
+# After API endpoints are implemented
+npm run test:integration
+
+# Update integration test templates
+# Replace placeholder tests with real endpoint calls
+
+# Document integration test results
+task-master update-subtask --id=X.Y --prompt="Integration tests:
+- Updated auth endpoint tests  
+- Database integration verified
+- All HTTP status codes and responses tested"
+```
+
+### **Pre-Commit Testing Phase**
+```bash
+# Before committing code
+npm run test:coverage         # Verify all tests pass with coverage
+npm run test:unit            # Quick unit test verification
+npm run test:integration     # Integration test verification (if applicable)
+
+# Commit pattern for test updates
+git add tests/ src/**/*.test.ts
+git commit -m "test(task-X): Add comprehensive tests for Feature Y
+
+- Unit tests with 95% coverage (exceeds 90% threshold)
+- Integration tests for API endpoints
+- Test fixtures for data generation
+- Proper mocking patterns established
+
+Task X: Feature Y - Testing complete"
+```
+
+## **Error Handling & Debugging**
+
+### **Test Debugging Techniques**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Use test utilities for debugging
+import { testUtils } from '../setup';
+
+it('should debug complex operation', () => {
+  testUtils.withConsole(() => {
+    // Console output visible only for this test
+    console.log('Debug info:', complexData);
+    service.complexOperation();
+  });
+});
+
+// ✅ DO: Use proper async debugging
+it('should handle async operations', async () => {
+  const promise = service.asyncOperation();
+  
+  // Test intermediate state
+  expect(service.isProcessing()).toBe(true);
+  
+  const result = await promise;
+  expect(result).toBe('expected');
+  expect(service.isProcessing()).toBe(false);
+});
+```
+
+### **Common Test Issues & Solutions**
+```bash
+# Hanging tests (common with database connections)
+npm run test:integration -- --detectOpenHandles
+
+# Memory leaks in tests
+npm run test:unit -- --logHeapUsage
+
+# Slow tests identification
+npm run test:coverage -- --verbose
+
+# Mock not working properly
+# Check: mock is declared before imports
+# Check: jest.clearAllMocks() in beforeEach
+# Check: TypeScript typing is correct
+```
+
+## **Continuous Integration Integration**
+
+### **CI/CD Pipeline Testing**
+```yaml
+# Example GitHub Actions integration
+- name: Run tests
+  run: |
+    npm ci
+    npm run test:coverage
+    
+- name: Upload coverage reports
+  uses: codecov/codecov-action@v3
+  with:
+    file: ./coverage/lcov.info
+```
+
+### **Pre-commit Hooks**
+```bash
+# Setup pre-commit testing (recommended)
+# In package.json scripts:
+"pre-commit": "npm run test:unit && npm run test:integration"
+
+# Husky integration example:
+npx husky add .husky/pre-commit "npm run test:unit"
+```
+
+## **Test Maintenance & Evolution**
+
+### **Adding Tests for New Features**
+1. **Create test file** alongside source code or in `tests/unit/`
+2. **Follow established patterns** from `src/utils/auth.test.ts`
+3. **Use existing fixtures** from `tests/fixtures/`
+4. **Apply proper mocking** patterns for dependencies
+5. **Meet coverage thresholds** for the module
+
+### **Updating Integration/E2E Tests**
+1. **Update templates** in `tests/integration/` when APIs change
+2. **Modify E2E workflows** in `tests/e2e/` for new user journeys  
+3. **Update test fixtures** for new data requirements
+4. **Maintain database cleanup** utilities
+
+### **Test Performance Optimization**
+- **Parallel execution**: Jest runs tests in parallel by default
+- **Test isolation**: Use proper setup/teardown for independence
+- **Mock optimization**: Mock heavy dependencies appropriately  
+- **Database efficiency**: Use transaction rollbacks where possible

+# Research Session
+
+## Initial Query
+
+**Question:** do we need to add new commands or can we just weaponize the gh cli tool
+
+**Response:**
+
+For the implementation of the `task-master git` command suite to automate git workflows (Task 97), it is possible to leverage the existing **GitHub CLI (`gh`) tool** rather than creating entirely new git commands from scratch. The GitHub CLI provides a rich set of commands that cover many GitHub-related operations such as branch management, pull request handling, workflow triggering, and release management, which can be scripted and integrated into your CLI tool[1][2][3][4].
+
+### Key Points Supporting Weaponizing GitHub CLI:
+
+- **Comprehensive GitHub Operations**: The `gh` CLI supports creating branches, managing pull requests, releases, tags, and even triggering and monitoring GitHub Actions workflows. This aligns well with the requirements of automated branch management, commit generation, and PR description generation in Task 97[1][3].
+
+- **Scripting and Automation Friendly**: GitHub CLI commands can be scripted and integrated into custom workflows or CLI tools. You can create aliases or wrap `gh` commands inside your own CLI commands to provide a seamless user experience while relying on the battle-tested GitHub CLI for underlying operations[1][3].
+
+- **Authentication and Permissions**: `gh` uses environment variables like `GH_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_TOKEN` for authentication, which can be securely managed in CI/CD pipelines or local environments. This simplifies integration without needing to implement custom authentication logic[3][4].
+
+- **Extensibility**: If some specific git workflow features are not directly supported by `gh`, you can extend it with custom scripts or combine it with native git commands. This hybrid approach reduces the need to reinvent core git operations while allowing customization[1].
+
+### Considerations for Your Project:
+
+- Since Task 97 requires **automated branch management** (branch creation, validation, switching, cleanup), **intelligent commit generation**, and **PR description generation**, you can implement these by invoking `gh` commands programmatically within your `task-master git` commands.
+
+- For example, branch creation and switching can be done with native git commands wrapped in your CLI, while PR creation and management can be handled via `gh pr create`, `gh pr merge`, etc.
+
+- You may still need to implement some **custom logic** for commit type detection, branch name validation, and PR description generation based on your task metadata, but the underlying git and GitHub operations can be delegated to `gh`.
+
+- This approach aligns with your existing CLI foundation (Task 2) and leverages a well-supported tool, reducing development effort and increasing reliability.
+
+### Summary
+
+You **do not necessarily need to add entirely new git commands** for Task 97. Instead, you can **weaponize the GitHub CLI (`gh`) tool** by wrapping and scripting its commands within your `task-master git` command suite. This will allow you to automate git workflows efficiently, maintain consistency, and leverage GitHub’s API capabilities without reinventing the wheel[1][2][3][4].
+
+If there are gaps in `gh` functionality for your specific workflow needs, you can supplement with native git commands or custom scripts, but the core git and GitHub operations should be handled by `gh` for best results.

+
+## Follow-up 1
+
+**Question:** how does this relate to git worktrees? i hear that they get super complicated when trying to implement them.
+
+**Response:**
+
+Git worktrees allow you to have multiple working directories attached to the same Git repository, each checked out to different branches simultaneously. This enables parallel development workflows without the overhead of cloning the repository multiple times or constantly switching branches in a single working directory[2][3].
+
+However, **implementing or managing git worktrees can get complicated** for several reasons:
+
+- **Complexity for users and tooling:** Managing multiple active worktrees requires careful tracking of which directory corresponds to which branch. This can be confusing and error-prone, especially for novices or when many worktrees are in use simultaneously. Mistakes like committing to the wrong branch or working in the wrong directory are common risks[1].
+
+- **Maintenance overhead:** Worktrees accumulate over time and need to be pruned or cleaned up regularly (`git worktree prune`) to avoid clutter and potential confusion. This adds an extra maintenance step to the workflow[1].
+
+- **Syncing and update challenges:** Each worktree is a separate checkout and can become outdated if not regularly updated from the main repository. This can lead to merge conflicts or redundant work if branches diverge significantly[1].
+
+- **Tooling and integration limitations:** Not all Git tools, scripts, or GUIs fully support worktrees or are optimized for them. This can cause inconsistencies or require additional custom tooling to manage worktrees effectively[1].
+
+- **Performance considerations:** Managing multiple worktrees simultaneously can have performance implications, especially in very large repositories, due to the overhead of maintaining multiple checkouts and metadata[1].
+
+In the context of your project, which involves automating git workflows and possibly wrapping or extending git/GitHub CLI commands, these complexities imply:
+
+- If you consider supporting git worktrees in your `task-master git` command suite, you will need to handle the complexity of managing multiple directories and branches carefully.
+
+- You might need to implement additional logic or tooling to track and manage worktrees, avoid user confusion, and ensure synchronization between them.
+
+- Since your project already plans to leverage the GitHub CLI (`gh`) and native git commands, you could integrate worktree commands (`git worktree add`, `git worktree remove`, `git worktree list`) but should be prepared for the added complexity in workflow management and user documentation.
+
+- Custom wrappers or managers (like the one described in [3]) can help reduce friction by automating worktree creation, switching, and cleanup, which might be a useful approach to consider.
+
+Overall, **git worktrees provide powerful parallel branch management but introduce complexity in implementation and user experience** that must be carefully managed through tooling, automation, and clear documentation[1][3][4].

+
+---
+
+Given your project’s focus on automating git workflows and leveraging existing CLI tools, **implementing git worktree support is feasible but will require careful design to handle these complexities effectively**. You may want to start with basic worktree commands and incrementally add automation and safeguards as needed.
+
+---
+
+## Follow-up 2
+
+**Question:** since we already have a way to have separated task lists per branch, couldn't we do the same thing for worktrees? each taskmaster list (tag) would have its own worktree based on the name of the tag?
+
+**Response:**
+
+Yes, you can apply a similar approach used for separated task lists per branch to git worktrees by associating each taskmaster list (tag) with its own git worktree named after the tag. This means each tag would correspond to a dedicated worktree directory checked out to a branch or commit related to that tag, enabling isolated parallel work environments for each task list.
+
+### How This Maps to Git Worktrees
+
+- **Git worktrees** allow multiple working directories linked to the same repository, each checked out to a different branch or commit[1][2]. This lets you work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching contexts in a single directory.
+
+- When you create a worktree with `git worktree add <path> [<branch>]`, Git creates a new linked working tree at `<path>`, optionally checking out a specified branch or creating a new one[1][2]. Naming the worktree directory after the tag (taskmaster list) is straightforward and semantically clear.
+
+- This setup mirrors your existing branch-based task list separation but extends it to physical directories, which can improve workflow isolation and reduce context switching.
+
+### Benefits for Your Project
+
+- **Isolated environments per task list/tag:** Each tag’s worktree can have its own checked-out branch, allowing independent development, testing, or review without interference.
+
+- **Parallel workflows:** Developers can switch between worktrees (directories) instead of switching branches in one directory, reducing errors and improving productivity.
+
+- **Automation potential:** Your `task-master git` commands can automate creating, switching, and cleaning up these worktrees based on tags, similar to how you manage branches and task lists.
+
+### Challenges and Considerations
+
+- **Complexity in management:** Git worktrees add complexity in tracking multiple directories and ensuring users operate in the correct one[1]. Your CLI should provide clear commands and feedback to avoid confusion.
+
+- **Maintenance overhead:** Worktrees need pruning and cleanup (`git worktree prune` or `git worktree remove`) to avoid clutter[1]. Automating cleanup in your tool would be beneficial.
+
+- **Syncing and updates:** Each worktree is a separate checkout and can become outdated. Your automation should include commands to update or rebase worktrees as needed.
+
+- **Tooling support:** Not all Git tools or scripts fully support worktrees, so your CLI wrappers should handle edge cases and provide a consistent experience[1][3].
+
+### Practical Implementation Ideas
+
+- When a new tag (taskmaster list) is created, run `git worktree add` to create a new worktree directory named after the tag.
+
+- Store metadata linking tags to worktree paths in your taskmaster configuration to track and manage them.
+
+- Provide commands like `task-master worktree list`, `task-master worktree add <tag>`, and `task-master worktree remove <tag>` to manage these worktrees.
+
+- Integrate with GitHub CLI (`gh`) and native git commands to automate branch creation, PR handling, and syncing within each worktree.
+
+- Consider inspiration from existing tools like [wt](https://github.com/taecontrol/wt) that automate worktree environment setup and teardown[3].
+
+### Summary
+
+Using git worktrees per taskmaster tag is a feasible and potentially powerful extension of your current branch-based task list separation. It offers isolated, parallel working directories aligned with your tags, improving workflow clarity and reducing branch-switching overhead. However, it requires careful tooling and automation to manage complexity, maintenance, and synchronization effectively. Given your project’s focus on automating git workflows and leveraging CLI tools, implementing this feature incrementally with robust user feedback and cleanup commands would be a practical approach.

+# Product Requirements Document: tm-core Package - Parse PRD Feature
+
+## Project Overview
+Create a TypeScript package named `tm-core` at `packages/tm-core` that implements parse-prd functionality using class-based architecture similar to the existing AI providers pattern.
+
+## Design Patterns & Architecture
+
+### Patterns to Apply
+1. **Factory Pattern**: Use for `ProviderFactory` to create AI provider instances
+2. **Strategy Pattern**: Use for `IAIProvider` implementations and `IStorage` implementations
+3. **Facade Pattern**: Use for `TaskMasterCore` as the main API entry point
+4. **Template Method Pattern**: Use for `BaseProvider` abstract class
+5. **Dependency Injection**: Use throughout for testability (pass dependencies via constructor)
+6. **Repository Pattern**: Use for `FileStorage` to abstract data persistence
+
+### Naming Conventions
+- **Files**: kebab-case (e.g., `task-parser.ts`, `file-storage.ts`)
+- **Classes**: PascalCase (e.g., `TaskParser`, `FileStorage`)
+- **Interfaces**: PascalCase with 'I' prefix (e.g., `IStorage`, `IAIProvider`)
+- **Methods**: camelCase (e.g., `parsePRD`, `loadTasks`)
+- **Constants**: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., `DEFAULT_MODEL`)
+- **Type aliases**: PascalCase (e.g., `TaskStatus`, `ParseOptions`)
+

 # task-master-ai
 
+## 0.24.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- [#1098](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1098) [`36468f3`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/36468f3c93faf4035a5c442ccbc501077f3440f1) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Enhanced Claude Code provider with codebase-aware task generation
+  - Added automatic codebase analysis for Claude Code provider in `parse-prd`, `expand-task`, and `analyze-complexity` commands
+  - When using Claude Code as the AI provider, Task Master now instructs the AI to analyze the project structure, existing implementations, and patterns before generating tasks or subtasks
+  - Tasks and subtasks generated by Claude Code are now informed by actual codebase analysis, resulting in more accurate and contextual outputs
+
+- [#1105](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1105) [`75c514c`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/75c514cf5b2ca47f95c0ad7fa92654a4f2a6be4b) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Add GPT-5 support with proper parameter handling
+  - Added GPT-5 model to supported models configuration with SWE score of 0.749
+
+- [#1091](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1091) [`4bb6370`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/4bb63706b80c28d1b2d782ba868a725326f916c7) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Add Claude Code subagent support with task-orchestrator, task-executor, and task-checker
+
+  ## New Claude Code Agents
+
+  Added specialized agents for Claude Code users to enable parallel task execution, intelligent task orchestration, and quality assurance:
+
+  ### task-orchestrator
+
+  Coordinates and manages the execution of Task Master tasks with intelligent dependency analysis:
+  - Analyzes task dependencies to identify parallelizable work
+  - Deploys multiple task-executor agents for concurrent execution
+  - Monitors task completion and updates the dependency graph
+  - Automatically identifies and starts newly unblocked tasks
+
+  ### task-executor
+
+  Handles the actual implementation of individual tasks:
+  - Executes specific tasks identified by the orchestrator
+  - Works on concrete implementation rather than planning
+  - Updates task status and logs progress
+  - Can work in parallel with other executors on independent tasks
+
+  ### task-checker
+
+  Verifies that completed tasks meet their specifications:
+  - Reviews tasks marked as 'review' status
+  - Validates implementation against requirements
+  - Runs tests and checks for best practices
+  - Ensures quality before marking tasks as 'done'
+
+  ## Installation
+
+  When using the Claude profile (`task-master rules add claude`), the agents are automatically installed to `.claude/agents/` directory.
+
+  ## Usage Example
+
+  ```bash
+  # In Claude Code, after initializing a project with tasks:
+
+  # Use task-orchestrator to analyze and coordinate work
+  # The orchestrator will:
+  # 1. Check task dependencies
+  # 2. Identify tasks that can run in parallel
+  # 3. Deploy executors for available work
+  # 4. Monitor progress and deploy new executors as tasks complete
+
+  # Use task-executor for specific task implementation
+  # When the orchestrator identifies task 2.3 needs work:
+  # The executor will implement that specific task
+  ```
+
+  ## Benefits
+  - **Parallel Execution**: Multiple independent tasks can be worked on simultaneously
+  - **Intelligent Scheduling**: Orchestrator understands dependencies and optimizes execution order
+  - **Separation of Concerns**: Planning (orchestrator) is separated from execution (executor)
+  - **Progress Tracking**: Real-time updates as tasks are completed
+  - **Automatic Progression**: As tasks complete, newly unblocked tasks are automatically started
+
+### Patch Changes

+
+  ## New Claude Code Agents
+
+  Added specialized agents for Claude Code users to enable parallel task execution, intelligent task orchestration, and quality assurance:
+
+  ### task-orchestrator
+
+  Coordinates and manages the execution of Task Master tasks with intelligent dependency analysis:
+  - Analyzes task dependencies to identify parallelizable work
+  - Deploys multiple task-executor agents for concurrent execution
+  - Monitors task completion and updates the dependency graph
+  - Automatically identifies and starts newly unblocked tasks
+
+  ### task-executor
+
+  Handles the actual implementation of individual tasks:
+  - Executes specific tasks identified by the orchestrator
+  - Works on concrete implementation rather than planning
+  - Updates task status and logs progress
+  - Can work in parallel with other executors on independent tasks
+
+  ### task-checker
+
+  Verifies that completed tasks meet their specifications:
+  - Reviews tasks marked as 'review' status
+  - Validates implementation against requirements
+  - Runs tests and checks for best practices
+  - Ensures quality before marking tasks as 'done'
+
+  ## Installation
+
+  When using the Claude profile (`task-master rules add claude`), the agents are automatically installed to `.claude/agents/` directory.
+
+  ## Usage Example
+
+  ```bash
+  # In Claude Code, after initializing a project with tasks:
+
+  # Use task-orchestrator to analyze and coordinate work
+  # The orchestrator will:
+  # 1. Check task dependencies
+  # 2. Identify tasks that can run in parallel
+  # 3. Deploy executors for available work
+  # 4. Monitor progress and deploy new executors as tasks complete
+
+  # Use task-executor for specific task implementation
+  # When the orchestrator identifies task 2.3 needs work:
+  # The executor will implement that specific task
+  ```
+
+  ## Benefits
+  - **Parallel Execution**: Multiple independent tasks can be worked on simultaneously
+  - **Intelligent Scheduling**: Orchestrator understands dependencies and optimizes execution order
+  - **Separation of Concerns**: Planning (orchestrator) is separated from execution (executor)
+  - **Progress Tracking**: Real-time updates as tasks are completed
+  - **Automatic Progression**: As tasks complete, newly unblocked tasks are automatically started

+
+  This release introduces two powerful new commands that allow you to dynamically adjust the complexity of your tasks and subtasks without recreating them from scratch.
+
+  **New CLI Commands:**
+  - `task-master scope-up` - Increase task complexity (add more detail, requirements, or implementation steps)
+  - `task-master scope-down` - Decrease task complexity (simplify, remove unnecessary details, or streamline)
+
+  **Key Features:**
+  - **Multiple tasks**: Support comma-separated IDs to adjust multiple tasks at once (`--id=5,7,12`)
+  - **Strength levels**: Choose adjustment intensity with `--strength=light|regular|heavy` (defaults to regular)
+  - **Custom prompts**: Use `--prompt` flag to specify exactly how you want tasks adjusted
+  - **MCP integration**: Available as `scope_up_task` and `scope_down_task` tools in Cursor and other MCP environments
+  - **Smart context**: AI considers your project context and task dependencies when making adjustments
+
+  **Usage Examples:**
+
+  ```bash
+  # Make a task more detailed
+  task-master scope-up --id=5
+
+  # Simplify multiple tasks with light touch
+  task-master scope-down --id=10,11,12 --strength=light
+
+  # Custom adjustment with specific instructions
+  task-master scope-up --id=7 --prompt="Add more error handling and edge cases"
+  ```
+
+  **Why use this?**
+  - **Iterative refinement**: Adjust task complexity as your understanding evolves
+  - **Project phase adaptation**: Scale tasks up for implementation, down for planning
+  - **Team coordination**: Adjust complexity based on team member experience levels
+  - **Milestone alignment**: Fine-tune tasks to match project phase requirements
+
+  Perfect for agile workflows where task requirements change as you learn more about the problem space.

+---
+
+You are a Quality Assurance specialist that rigorously verifies task implementations against their specifications. Your role is to ensure that tasks marked as 'review' meet all requirements before they can be marked as 'done'.
+
+## Core Responsibilities
+
+1. **Task Specification Review**
+   - Retrieve task details using MCP tool `mcp__task-master-ai__get_task`
+   - Understand the requirements, test strategy, and success criteria
+   - Review any subtasks and their individual requirements
+
+2. **Implementation Verification**
+   - Use `Read` tool to examine all created/modified files
+   - Use `Bash` tool to run compilation and build commands
+   - Use `Grep` tool to search for required patterns and implementations
+   - Verify file structure matches specifications
+   - Check that all required methods/functions are implemented
+
+3. **Test Execution**
+   - Run tests specified in the task's testStrategy
+   - Execute build commands (npm run build, tsc --noEmit, etc.)
+   - Verify no compilation errors or warnings
+   - Check for runtime errors where applicable
+   - Test edge cases mentioned in requirements
+
+4. **Code Quality Assessment**
+   - Verify code follows project conventions
+   - Check for proper error handling
+   - Ensure TypeScript typing is strict (no 'any' unless justified)
+   - Verify documentation/comments where required
+   - Check for security best practices
+
+5. **Dependency Validation**
+   - Verify all task dependencies were actually completed
+   - Check integration points with dependent tasks
+   - Ensure no breaking changes to existing functionality
+
+## Verification Workflow
+
+1. **Retrieve Task Information**
+   ```
+   Use mcp__task-master-ai__get_task to get full task details
+   Note the implementation requirements and test strategy
+   ```
+
+2. **Check File Existence**
+   ```bash
+   # Verify all required files exist
+   ls -la [expected directories]
+   # Read key files to verify content
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify Implementation**
+   - Read each created/modified file
+   - Check against requirements checklist
+   - Verify all subtasks are complete
+
+4. **Run Tests**
+   ```bash
+   # TypeScript compilation
+   cd [project directory] && npx tsc --noEmit
+   
+   # Run specified tests
+   npm test [specific test files]
+   
+   # Build verification
+   npm run build
+   ```
+
+5. **Generate Verification Report**
+
+## Output Format
+
+```yaml
+verification_report:
+  task_id: [ID]
+  status: PASS | FAIL | PARTIAL
+  score: [1-10]
+  
+  requirements_met:
+    - ✅ [Requirement that was satisfied]
+    - ✅ [Another satisfied requirement]
+    
+  issues_found:
+    - ❌ [Issue description]
+    - ⚠️  [Warning or minor issue]
+    
+  files_verified:
+    - path: [file path]
+      status: [created/modified/verified]
+      issues: [any problems found]
+      
+  tests_run:
+    - command: [test command]
+      result: [pass/fail]
+      output: [relevant output]
+      
+  recommendations:
+    - [Specific fix needed]
+    - [Improvement suggestion]
+    
+  verdict: |
+    [Clear statement on whether task should be marked 'done' or sent back to 'pending']
+    [If FAIL: Specific list of what must be fixed]
+    [If PASS: Confirmation that all requirements are met]
+```
+
+## Decision Criteria
+
+**Mark as PASS (ready for 'done'):**
+- All required files exist and contain expected content
+- All tests pass successfully
+- No compilation or build errors
+- All subtasks are complete
+- Core requirements are met
+- Code quality is acceptable
+
+**Mark as PARTIAL (may proceed with warnings):**
+- Core functionality is implemented
+- Minor issues that don't block functionality
+- Missing nice-to-have features
+- Documentation could be improved
+- Tests pass but coverage could be better
+
+**Mark as FAIL (must return to 'pending'):**
+- Required files are missing
+- Compilation or build errors
+- Tests fail
+- Core requirements not met
+- Security vulnerabilities detected
+- Breaking changes to existing code
+
+## Important Guidelines
+
+- **BE THOROUGH**: Check every requirement systematically
+- **BE SPECIFIC**: Provide exact file paths and line numbers for issues
+- **BE FAIR**: Distinguish between critical issues and minor improvements
+- **BE CONSTRUCTIVE**: Provide clear guidance on how to fix issues
+- **BE EFFICIENT**: Focus on requirements, not perfection
+
+## Tools You MUST Use
+
+- `Read`: Examine implementation files (READ-ONLY)
+- `Bash`: Run tests and verification commands
+- `Grep`: Search for patterns in code
+- `mcp__task-master-ai__get_task`: Get task details
+- **NEVER use Write/Edit** - you only verify, not fix
+
+## Integration with Workflow
+
+You are the quality gate between 'review' and 'done' status:
+1. Task-executor implements and marks as 'review'
+2. You verify and report PASS/FAIL
+3. Claude either marks as 'done' (PASS) or 'pending' (FAIL)
+4. If FAIL, task-executor re-implements based on your report
+
+Your verification ensures high quality and prevents accumulation of technical debt.

+description: Use this agent when you need to implement, complete, or work on a specific task that has been identified by the task-orchestrator or when explicitly asked to execute a particular task. This agent focuses on the actual implementation and completion of individual tasks rather than planning or orchestration. Examples: <example>Context: The task-orchestrator has identified that task 2.3 'Implement user authentication' needs to be worked on next. user: 'Let's work on the authentication task' assistant: 'I'll use the task-executor agent to implement the user authentication task that was identified.' <commentary>Since we need to actually implement a specific task rather than plan or identify tasks, use the task-executor agent.</commentary></example> <example>Context: User wants to complete a specific subtask. user: 'Please implement the JWT token validation for task 2.3.1' assistant: 'I'll launch the task-executor agent to implement the JWT token validation subtask.' <commentary>The user is asking for specific implementation work on a known task, so the task-executor is appropriate.</commentary></example> <example>Context: After reviewing the task list, implementation is needed. user: 'Now let's actually build the API endpoint for user registration' assistant: 'I'll use the task-executor agent to implement the user registration API endpoint.' <commentary>Moving from planning to execution phase requires the task-executor agent.</commentary></example>

+
+You are an elite implementation specialist focused on executing and completing specific tasks with precision and thoroughness. Your role is to take identified tasks and transform them into working implementations, following best practices and project standards.
+
+**Core Responsibilities:**
+
+1. **Task Analysis**: When given a task, first retrieve its full details using `task-master show <id>` to understand requirements, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
+
+2. **Implementation Planning**: Before coding, briefly outline your implementation approach:
+   - Identify files that need to be created or modified
+   - Note any dependencies or prerequisites
+   - Consider the testing strategy defined in the task
+
+3. **Focused Execution**: 
+   - Implement one subtask at a time for clarity and traceability
+   - Follow the project's coding standards from CLAUDE.md if available
+   - Prefer editing existing files over creating new ones
+   - Only create files that are essential for the task completion
+
+4. **Progress Documentation**: 
+   - Use `task-master update-subtask --id=<id> --prompt="implementation notes"` to log your approach and any important decisions
+   - Update task status to 'in-progress' when starting: `task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=in-progress`
+   - Mark as 'done' only after verification: `task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=done`
+
+5. **Quality Assurance**:
+   - Implement the testing strategy specified in the task
+   - Verify that all acceptance criteria are met
+   - Check for any dependency conflicts or integration issues
+   - Run relevant tests before marking task as complete
+
+6. **Dependency Management**:
+   - Check task dependencies before starting implementation
+   - If blocked by incomplete dependencies, clearly communicate this
+   - Use `task-master validate-dependencies` when needed
+
+**Implementation Workflow:**
+
+1. Retrieve task details and understand requirements
+2. Check dependencies and prerequisites
+3. Plan implementation approach
+4. Update task status to in-progress
+5. Implement the solution incrementally
+6. Log progress and decisions in subtask updates
+7. Test and verify the implementation
+8. Mark task as done when complete
+9. Suggest next task if appropriate
+
+**Key Principles:**
+
+- Focus on completing one task thoroughly before moving to the next
+- Maintain clear communication about what you're implementing and why
+- Follow existing code patterns and project conventions
+- Prioritize working code over extensive documentation unless docs are the task
+- Ask for clarification if task requirements are ambiguous
+- Consider edge cases and error handling in your implementations
+
+**Integration with Task Master:**
+
+You work in tandem with the task-orchestrator agent. While the orchestrator identifies and plans tasks, you execute them. Always use Task Master commands to:
+- Track your progress
+- Update task information
+- Maintain project state
+- Coordinate with the broader development workflow
+
+When you complete a task, briefly summarize what was implemented and suggest whether to continue with the next task or if review/testing is needed first.

+description: Use this agent when you need to coordinate and manage the execution of Task Master tasks, especially when dealing with complex task dependencies and parallel execution opportunities.

+
+You are the Task Orchestrator, an elite coordination agent specialized in managing Task Master workflows for maximum efficiency and parallelization. You excel at analyzing task dependency graphs, identifying opportunities for concurrent execution, and deploying specialized task-executor agents to complete work efficiently.
+
+## Core Responsibilities
+
+1. **Task Queue Analysis**: You continuously monitor and analyze the task queue using Task Master MCP tools to understand the current state of work, dependencies, and priorities.
+
+2. **Dependency Graph Management**: You build and maintain a mental model of task dependencies, identifying which tasks can be executed in parallel and which must wait for prerequisites.
+
+3. **Executor Deployment**: You strategically deploy task-executor agents for individual tasks or task groups, ensuring each executor has the necessary context and clear success criteria.
+
+4. **Progress Coordination**: You track the progress of deployed executors, handle task completion notifications, and reassess the execution strategy as tasks complete.
+
+## Operational Workflow
+
+### Initial Assessment Phase
+1. Use `get_tasks` or `task-master list` to retrieve all available tasks
+2. Analyze task statuses, priorities, and dependencies
+3. Identify tasks with status 'pending' that have no blocking dependencies
+4. Group related tasks that could benefit from specialized executors
+5. Create an execution plan that maximizes parallelization
+
+### Executor Deployment Phase
+1. For each independent task or task group:
+   - Deploy a task-executor agent with specific instructions
+   - Provide the executor with task ID, requirements, and context
+   - Set clear completion criteria and reporting expectations
+2. Maintain a registry of active executors and their assigned tasks
+3. Establish communication protocols for progress updates
+
+### Coordination Phase
+1. Monitor executor progress through task status updates
+2. When a task completes:
+   - Verify completion with `get_task` or `task-master show <id>`
+   - Update task status if needed using `set_task_status`
+   - Reassess dependency graph for newly unblocked tasks
+   - Deploy new executors for available work
+3. Handle executor failures or blocks:
+   - Reassign tasks to new executors if needed
+   - Escalate complex issues to the user
+   - Update task status to 'blocked' when appropriate
+
+### Optimization Strategies
+
+**Parallel Execution Rules**:
+- Never assign dependent tasks to different executors simultaneously
+- Prioritize high-priority tasks when resources are limited
+- Group small, related subtasks for single executor efficiency
+- Balance executor load to prevent bottlenecks
+
+**Context Management**:
+- Provide executors with minimal but sufficient context
+- Share relevant completed task information when it aids execution
+- Maintain a shared knowledge base of project-specific patterns
+
+**Quality Assurance**:
+- Verify task completion before marking as done
+- Ensure test strategies are followed when specified
+- Coordinate cross-task integration testing when needed
+
+## Communication Protocols
+
+When deploying executors, provide them with:
+```
+TASK ASSIGNMENT:
+- Task ID: [specific ID]
+- Objective: [clear goal]
+- Dependencies: [list any completed prerequisites]
+- Success Criteria: [specific completion requirements]
+- Context: [relevant project information]
+- Reporting: [when and how to report back]
+```
+
+When receiving executor updates:
+1. Acknowledge completion or issues
+2. Update task status in Task Master
+3. Reassess execution strategy
+4. Deploy new executors as appropriate
+
+## Decision Framework
+
+**When to parallelize**:
+- Multiple pending tasks with no interdependencies
+- Sufficient context available for independent execution
+- Tasks are well-defined with clear success criteria
+
+**When to serialize**:
+- Strong dependencies between tasks
+- Limited context or unclear requirements
+- Integration points requiring careful coordination
+
+**When to escalate**:
+- Circular dependencies detected
+- Critical blockers affecting multiple tasks
+- Ambiguous requirements needing clarification
+- Resource conflicts between executors
+
+## Error Handling
+
+1. **Executor Failure**: Reassign task to new executor with additional context about the failure
+2. **Dependency Conflicts**: Halt affected executors, resolve conflict, then resume
+3. **Task Ambiguity**: Request clarification from user before proceeding
+4. **System Errors**: Implement graceful degradation, falling back to serial execution if needed
+
+## Performance Metrics
+
+Track and optimize for:
+- Task completion rate
+- Parallel execution efficiency
+- Executor success rate
+- Time to completion for task groups
+- Dependency resolution speed
+
+## Integration with Task Master
+
+Leverage these Task Master MCP tools effectively:
+- `get_tasks` - Continuous queue monitoring
+- `get_task` - Detailed task analysis
+- `set_task_status` - Progress tracking
+- `next_task` - Fallback for serial execution
+- `analyze_project_complexity` - Strategic planning
+- `complexity_report` - Resource allocation
+
+You are the strategic mind coordinating the entire task execution effort. Your success is measured by the efficient completion of all tasks while maintaining quality and respecting dependencies. Think systematically, act decisively, and continuously optimize the execution strategy based on real-time progress.
