GPT-5 Codex Integration & AI SDK v5 Migration

Minor Changes

• #1273 b43b7ce Thanks @ben-vargas! - Add Codex CLI provider with OAuth authentication

  • Added codex-cli provider for GPT-5 and GPT-5-Codex models (272K input / 128K output)
  • OAuth-first authentication via codex login - no API key required
  • Optional OPENAI_CODEX_API_KEY support
  • Codebase analysis capabilities automatically enabled
  • Command-specific settings and approval/sandbox modes

• #1215 0079b7d Thanks @joedanz! - Add Cursor IDE custom slash command support

  Expose Task Master commands as Cursor slash commands by copying assets/claude/commands to .cursor/commands on profile add and cleaning up on remove.

• #1246 18aa416 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Added api keys page on docs website: docs.task-master.dev/getting-started/api-keys

• #1246 18aa416 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Move to AI SDK v5:

  • Works better with claude-code and gemini-cli as ai providers
  • Improved openai model family compatibility
  • Migrate ollama provider to v2
  • Closes #1223, #1013, #1161, #1174

• #1262 738ec51 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Migrate AI services to use generateObject for structured data generation

  This update migrates all AI service calls from generateText to generateObject, ensuring more reliable and structured responses across all commands.

  Key Changes:

  • Unified AI Service: Replaced separate generateText implementations with a single generateObjectService that handles structured data generation
  • JSON Mode Support: Added proper JSON mode configuration for providers that support it (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq)
  • Schema Validation: Integrated Zod schemas for all AI-generated content with automatic validation
  • Provider Compatibility: Maintained compatibility with all existing providers while leveraging their native structured output capabilities
  • Improved Reliability: Structured output generation reduces parsing errors and ensures consistent data formats

  Technical Improvements:

  • Centralized provider configuration in ai-providers-unified.js
  • Added generateObject support detection for each provider
  • Implemented proper error handling for schema validation failures
  • Maintained backward compatibility with existing prompt structures

  Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed subtask ID numbering issue where AI was generating inconsistent IDs (101-105, 601-603) instead of sequential numbering (1, 2, 3...)
  • Enhanced prompt instructions to enforce proper ID generation patterns
  • Ensured subtasks display correctly as X.1, X.2, X.3 format

  This migration improves the reliability and consistency of AI-generated content throughout the Task Master application.

• #1112 d67b81d Thanks @olssonsten! - Enhanced Roo Code profile with MCP timeout configuration for improved reliability during long-running AI operations. The Roo profile now automatically configures a 300-second timeout for MCP server operations, preventing timeouts during complex tasks like parse-prd, expand-all, analyze-complexity, and research operations. This change also replaces static MCP configuration files with programmatic generation for better maintainability.

  What's New:

  • 300-second timeout for MCP operations (up from default 60 seconds)
  • Programmatic MCP configuration generation (replaces static asset files)
  • Enhanced reliability for AI-powered operations
  • Consistent with other AI coding assistant profiles

  Migration: No user action required - existing Roo Code installations will automatically receive the enhanced MCP configuration on next initialization.

• #1246 986ac11 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Upgrade grok-cli ai provider to ai sdk v5

Patch Changes

• #1235 aaacc3d Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Improve analyze-complexity cli docs and --research flag documentation

• #1251 0b2c696 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Change parent task back to "pending" when all subtasks are in "pending" state

• #1274 4f984f8 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Do a quick fix on build

• #1277 7b5a7c4 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Fix MCP connection errors caused by deprecated generateTaskFiles calls. Resolves "Cannot read properties of null (reading 'toString')" errors when using MCP tools for task management operations.

• #1276 caee040 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Fix MCP server error when file parameter not provided - now properly constructs default tasks.json path instead of failing with 'tasksJsonPath is required' error.

• #1172 b5fe723 Thanks @jujax! - Fix Claude Code settings validation for pathToClaudeCodeExecutable

• #1192 2b69936 Thanks @nukunga! - Fix sonar deep research model failing, should be called sonar-deep-research

• #1270 Thanks ! - Fix complexity score not showing for and

• Added complexity score on "next task" when running task-master list
• Added colors to complexity to reflect complexity (easy, medium, hard)
