chore: add changeset

Add comprehensive task management system integration via custom slash commands.
Includes commands for:
- Project initialization and setup
- Task parsing from PRD documents
- Task creation, update, and removal
- Subtask management
- Dependency tracking and validation
- Complexity analysis and task expansion
- Project status and reporting
- Workflow automation

This provides a complete task management workflow directly within Claude Code.

-Recover from `@anthropic-ai/claude-code` JSON truncation bug that caused Task Master to crash when handling large (>8 kB) structured responses.  The CLI/SDK still truncates, but Task Master now detects the error, preserves buffered text, and returns a usable response instead of throwing.

+Prevent CLAUDE.md overwrite by using Claude Code's import feature
+
+- Task Master now creates its instructions in `.taskmaster/CLAUDE.md` instead of overwriting the user's `CLAUDE.md`
+- Adds an import section to the user's CLAUDE.md that references the Task Master instructions
+- Preserves existing user content in CLAUDE.md files
+- Provides clean uninstall that only removes Task Master's additions
+
+**Breaking Change**: Task Master instructions for Claude Code are now stored in `.taskmaster/CLAUDE.md` and imported into the main CLAUDE.md file. Users who previously had Task Master content directly in their CLAUDE.md will need to run `task-master rules remove claude` followed by `task-master rules add claude` to migrate to the new structure.
