Note

Automates version alignment and packaging, and simplifies MCP startup.

• New script ./.github/scripts/sync-manifest-version.mjs: syncs manifest.json version with root package.json, cleans old .mcpb files, and generates taskmaster.mcpb via npx mcpb pack
• Version pipeline: root package.json version script now runs the sync script and refreshes package-lock.json
• MCP startup change: manifest.json mcp_config.args switched from ["-y", "--package=task-master-ai", "task-master-mcp"] to ["-y", "task-master-ai"]
• Dependency update: apps/extension/package.json sets task-master-ai to "*"; dev dep @anthropic-ai/mcpb added for bundling (lockfile updated accordingly)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a Node.js build script to sync package.json and manifest.json versions, remove old .mcpb bundles, and create a new taskmaster.mcpb; updates manifest MCP args and package.json scripts/dependencies.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Build & Version Sync Script .github/scripts/sync-manifest-version.mjs	New script: reads root package.json and manifest.json, updates manifest.version if needed, deletes *.mcpb artifacts, runs npx mcpb pack . taskmaster.mcpb, verifies output, and exits with error on failures.
MCP Configuration manifest.json	Updated server.mcp_config.args from ["-y", "--package=task-master-ai", "task-master-mcp"] to ["-y", "task-master-ai"].
Root package metadata & deps package.json	version script changed to run changeset version && node ./.github/scripts/sync-manifest-version.mjs && npm i --package-lock-only. Added proper-lockfile dependency and @anthropic-ai/mcpb devDependency; cleaned duplicate entries.
Extension devDependency loosened apps/extension/package.json	devDependencies.task-master-ai version relaxed from "0.42.0-rc.0" to "*".
