⚡ Bolt: Optimized lib/task_manager/simple.sh

💡 What:

  • Removed the unconditional file rewrite in init_tasks that was adding missing fields to all tasks on every command invocation.
  • Refactored create_task to use a single jq invocation for processing input arrays and appending the task, instead of 3-4 separate calls.

🎯 Why:

  • init_tasks was performing a "write-on-read" operation, causing the entire tasks file to be rewritten even for read-only operations like list or search. This is a significant performance bottleneck as the task list grows.
  • create_task was spawning multiple jq processes to parse simple comma-separated strings, adding unnecessary latency.

📊 Impact:

  • Eliminates file I/O for read-only operations.
  • Reduces process creation overhead during task creation.
  • Improves CLI responsiveness.

🔬 Measurement:

  • Verified that file modification timestamp does not change during list or search operations.
  • Verified that create_task still correctly parses tags and dependencies.
  • Verified backward compatibility with tasks missing fields (using // [] default).

- Removed redundant write-on-read schema normalization in `init_tasks`, saving O(N) IO overhead on every command.
- Consolidated `jq` calls in `create_task` to parse tags/dependencies and append the task in a single execution, reducing process spawning.
- Verified Python fallback path remains functional.
- Verified legacy tasks with missing fields are handled gracefully.
