## Version 0.27.2 - Automatic Parent Status Management
### ✨ New Features
**Automatic Parent Status Management**
- Parent tasks now automatically update their status based on subtask progress
- When all subtasks are marked as `done`, the parent task automatically becomes `done`
- When at least one subtask is `in-progress` or `done`, the parent task automatically becomes `in-progress`
- This eliminates manual parent status updates and ensures task hierarchy consistency
### 🔧 How It Works
The new system tracks subtask status changes and intelligently updates parent statuses:
1. **Subtask Progress Tracking**: Each subtask status change triggers parent evaluation
2. **Smart Status Rules**: Parent status reflects the collective progress of all subtasks
3. **Seamless Integration**: Works automatically with existing `set-status` commands and MCP tools
### 📈 Benefits
- **Reduced Manual Work**: No need to manually update parent task statuses
- **Better Visibility**: Parent tasks accurately reflect overall progress
- **Consistency**: Eliminates mismatched parent/subtask status combinations
- **AI-Friendly**: Provides clearer status hierarchy for AI assistants
