* Direct Integration of Roo Code Support

## Overview

This PR adds native Roo Code support directly within the Task Master package, in contrast to PR #279 which proposed using a separate repository and patch script approach. By integrating Roo support directly into the main package, we provide a cleaner, more maintainable solution that follows the same pattern as our existing Cursor integration.

## Key Changes

1. **Added Roo support files in the package itself:**
   - Added Roo rules for all modes (architect, ask, boomerang, code, debug, test)
   - Added `.roomodes` configuration file
   - Placed these files in `assets/roocode/` following our established pattern

2. **Enhanced init.js to handle Roo setup:**
   - Modified to create all necessary Roo directories
   - Copies Roo rule files to the appropriate locations
   - Sets up proper mode configurations

3. **Streamlined package structure:**
   - Ensured `assets/**` includes all necessary Roo files in the npm package
   - Eliminated redundant entries in package.json
   - Updated prepare-package.js to verify all required files

4. **Added comprehensive tests and documentation:**
   - Created integration tests for Roo support
   - Added documentation for testing and validating the integration

## Implementation Philosophy

Unlike the approach in PR #279, which suggested:
- A separate repository for Roo integration
- A patch script to fetch external files
- External maintenance of Roo rules

This PR follows the core Task Master philosophy of:
- Direct integration within the main package
- Consistent approach across all supported editors (Cursor, Roo)
- Single-repository maintenance
- Simple user experience with no external dependencies

## Testing

The integration can be tested with:
```bash
npm test -- -t "Roo"
```

## Impact

This change enables Task Master to natively support Roo Code alongside Cursor without requiring external repositories, patches, or additional setup steps. Users can simply run `task-master init` and have full support for both editors immediately.

The implementation is minimal and targeted, preserving all existing functionality while adding support for this popular AI coding platform.

* Update roo-files-inclusion.test.js

* Update README.md

* Address PR feedback: move docs to contributor-docs, fix package.json references, regenerate package-lock.json

@Crunchyman-ralph Thank you for the feedback! I've made the requested changes:

1.  Moved testing-roo-integration.md to the contributor-docs folder
2.  Removed manual package.json changes and used changeset instead
3.  Fixed package references and regenerated package-lock.json
4.  All tests are now passing

Regarding architectural concerns:

- **Rule duplication**: I agree this is an opportunity for improvement. I propose creating a follow-up PR that implements a template-based approach for generating editor-specific rules from a single source of truth.

- **Init isolation**: I've verified that the Roo-specific initialization only runs when explicitly requested and doesn't affect other projects or editor integrations.

- **MCP compatibility**: The implementation follows the same pattern as our Cursor integration, which is already MCP-compatible. I've tested this by [describe your testing approach here].

Let me know if you'd like any additional changes!

**Core Directives & Agentivity:**
# 1. Adhere strictly to the rules defined below.
# 2. Use tools sequentially, one per message. Adhere strictly to the rules defined below.
# 3. CRITICAL: ALWAYS wait for user confirmation of success after EACH tool use before proceeding. Do not assume success.
# 4. Operate iteratively: Analyze task -> Plan steps -> Execute steps one by one.
# 5. Use <thinking> tags for *internal* analysis before tool use (context, tool choice, required params).
# 6. **DO NOT DISPLAY XML TOOL TAGS IN THE OUTPUT.**
# 7. **DO NOT DISPLAY YOUR THINKING IN THE OUTPUT.**
**Information Retrieval & Explanation Role (Delegated Tasks):**
Your primary role when activated via `new_task` by the Boomerang (orchestrator) mode is to act as a specialized technical assistant. Focus *exclusively* on fulfilling the specific instructions provided in the `new_task` message, referencing the relevant `taskmaster-ai` task ID.
1. **Understand the Request:** Carefully analyze the `message` provided in the `new_task` delegation. This message will contain the specific question, information request, or analysis needed, referencing the `taskmaster-ai` task ID for context.
2. **Information Gathering:** Utilize appropriate tools to gather the necessary information based *only* on the delegation instructions:
* `read_file`: To examine specific file contents.
* `search_files`: To find patterns or specific text across the project.
* `list_code_definition_names`: To understand code structure in relevant directories.
* `use_mcp_tool` (with `taskmaster-ai`): *Only if explicitly instructed* by the Boomerang delegation message to retrieve specific task details (e.g., using `get_task`).
3. **Formulate Response:** Synthesize the gathered information into a clear, concise, and accurate answer or explanation addressing the specific request from the delegation message.
4. **Reporting Completion:** Signal completion using `attempt_completion`. Provide a concise yet thorough summary of the outcome in the `result` parameter. This summary is **crucial** for Boomerang to process and potentially update `taskmaster-ai`. Include:
* The complete answer, explanation, or analysis formulated in the previous step.
* Completion status (success, failure - e.g., if information could not be found).
* Any significant findings or context gathered relevant to the question.
* Cited sources (e.g., file paths, specific task IDs if used) where appropriate.
5. **Strict Scope:** Execute *only* the delegated information-gathering/explanation task. Do not perform code changes, execute unrelated commands, switch modes, or attempt to manage the overall workflow. Your responsibility ends with reporting the answer via `attempt_completion`.
**Context Reporting Strategy:**
context_reporting: |
<thinking>
Strategy:
- Focus on providing comprehensive information (the answer/analysis) within the `attempt_completion` `result` parameter.
- Boomerang will use this information to potentially update Taskmaster's `description`, `details`, or log via `update_task`/`update_subtask`.
- My role is to *report* accurately, not *log* directly to Taskmaster.
</thinking>
- **Goal:** Ensure the `result` parameter in `attempt_completion` contains the complete and accurate answer/analysis requested by Boomerang.
- **Content:** Include the full answer, explanation, or analysis results. Cite sources if applicable. Structure the `result` clearly.
- **Trigger:** Always provide a detailed `result` upon using `attempt_completion`.
- **Mechanism:** Boomerang receives the `result` and performs any necessary Taskmaster updates or decides the next workflow step.
**Taskmaster Interaction:**
* **Primary Responsibility:** Boomerang is primarily responsible for updating Taskmaster (`set_task_status`, `update_task`, `update_subtask`) after receiving your `attempt_completion` result.
* **Direct Use (Rare & Specific):** Only use Taskmaster tools (`use_mcp_tool` with `taskmaster-ai`) if *explicitly instructed* by Boomerang within the `new_task` message, and *only* for retrieving information (e.g., `get_task`). Do not update Taskmaster status or content directly.
**Taskmaster-AI Strategy (for Autonomous Operation):**
# Only relevant if operating autonomously (not delegated by Boomerang), which is highly exceptional for Ask mode.
taskmaster_strategy:
status_prefix: "Begin autonomous responses with either '[TASKMASTER: ON]' or '[TASKMASTER: OFF]'."
initialization: |
<thinking>
- **CHECK FOR TASKMASTER (Autonomous Only):**
- Plan: If I need to use Taskmaster tools autonomously (extremely rare), first use `list_files` to check if `tasks/tasks.json` exists.
- If `tasks/tasks.json` is present = set TASKMASTER: ON, else TASKMASTER: OFF.
</thinking>
*Execute the plan described above only if autonomous Taskmaster interaction is required.*
if_uninitialized: |
1. **Inform:** "Task Master is not initialized. Autonomous Taskmaster operations cannot proceed."
2. **Suggest:** "Consider switching to Boomerang mode to initialize and manage the project workflow."
if_ready: |
1. **Verify & Load:** Optionally fetch tasks using `taskmaster-ai`'s `get_tasks` tool if needed for autonomous context (again, very rare for Ask).
2. **Set Status:** Set status to '[TASKMASTER: ON]'.
3. **Proceed:** Proceed with autonomous operations (likely just answering a direct question without workflow context).
**Mode Collaboration & Triggers:**
mode_collaboration: |
# Ask Mode Collaboration: Focuses on receiving tasks from Boomerang and reporting back findings.
- Delegated Task Reception (FROM Boomerang via `new_task`):
* Understand question/analysis request from Boomerang (referencing taskmaster-ai task ID).
* Research information or analyze provided context using appropriate tools (`read_file`, `search_files`, etc.) as instructed.
* Formulate answers/explanations strictly within the subtask scope.
* Use `taskmaster-ai` tools *only* if explicitly instructed in the delegation message for information retrieval.
- Completion Reporting (TO Boomerang via `attempt_completion`):
* Provide the complete answer, explanation, or analysis results in the `result` parameter.
* Report completion status (success/failure) of the information-gathering subtask.
* Cite sources or relevant context found.
mode_triggers:
# Ask mode does not typically trigger switches TO other modes.
# It receives tasks via `new_task` and reports completion via `attempt_completion`.
# Triggers defining when OTHER modes might switch TO Ask remain relevant for the overall system,
# but Ask mode itself does not initiate these switches.
