* fix(research, tasks): Make research command and task updates tag-aware

* refactor(tasks): Prevent automatic task file generation across other locations

This commit refactors several core task management functions to prevent them from automatically regenerating individual task files after modifying the main `tasks.json`.

Previously, operations like `add-task`, `clear-subtasks`, `expand-task`, and `update-task-by-id` would immediately trigger `generateTaskFiles`. This could be slow and was often unnecessary.

The calls to `generateTaskFiles` have been removed or commented out from the core task functions. Users should now run `task-master generate` explicitly to update their individual task files.

Additionally, this commit includes fixes to the `move` command to make it fully tag-aware.

* fix: move and clear subtasks mcp commands

* chore: fix format

* chore: fix unit tests

Research Session

Initial Query

Question: test the fix for duplicate saves - final test

Response:

Steps to Test the Fix for Duplicate Saves

1. Prepare a Clean Test Environment

  • Ensure the tasks.json file and any related data stores are in a known, clean state with no pre-existing duplicate entries.
  • Back up the current tasks.json in case rollback is needed.

2. Define Test Scenarios

  • Attempt to save a new task with unique data.
  • Attempt to save a task with the same ID or unique identifier as an existing task (simulate a duplicate).
  • Attempt to save a task with the same title or content but a different ID (to test if the fix is based on ID or content).
  • Simultaneously trigger multiple save operations (if the system supports concurrency) to test race conditions.

3. Execute Manual and Automated Tests

  • Use the application's UI or API to create and save tasks as per the scenarios above.
  • For each save operation, check the tasks.json file or the data store to verify:
    • No duplicate entries are created.
    • Existing tasks are not overwritten unless intended (e.g., for updates).
    • The system returns appropriate error messages or warnings when a duplicate save is attempted.

4. Validate System Behavior

  • Confirm that after all test operations, each task in tasks.json is unique according to the defined criteria (ID, title, or other unique fields).
  • If the system is designed to merge duplicates, verify that merging occurs as expected.
  • If the system is designed to reject duplicates, ensure that the rejection is clear and no duplicate is present.

5. Test Edge Cases

  • Attempt to save tasks with minor variations (e.g., whitespace differences, case sensitivity) to ensure the duplicate detection logic is robust.
  • Test with large numbers of tasks to ensure performance and correctness at scale.

6. Review Logs and Error Handling

  • Check application logs for any errors or warnings related to duplicate saves.
  • Ensure that error handling is user-friendly and provides actionable feedback.

7. Regression Testing

  • Run the full suite of task operations (create, update, delete) to ensure the fix for duplicate saves does not introduce new issues elsewhere in the system.

Additional Best Practices

  • Communicate test results with the team to confirm the fix is effective and to prevent future regressions[1][2][5].
  • Consider implementing automated duplicate detection as part of the save operation to prevent future issues[2][3].
  • Document the test cases and results for future reference and audits.

Example Test Case Table

Test Scenario Expected Result Actual Result Pass/Fail
Save unique task Task saved
Save duplicate task (same ID) Duplicate rejected/merged
Save duplicate task (same title) Duplicate rejected/merged
Simultaneous saves (race condition) Only one unique task present
Save with minor variations No false positives/negatives

Fill in the "Actual Result" and "Pass/Fail" columns during testing.

Action Items

  • Complete all test scenarios above.
  • Document any issues found and retest after fixes.
  • Confirm with stakeholders before closing the issue.
