ankitects/ankitask-master-ai@0.40.1Dec 28, 2025by github-actions[bot]

AI Summary

A performance and reliability patch that accelerates CLI startup, refines project root detection logic for monorepos, and fixes authentication and compatibility issues with OpenAI models.

Key Highlights

CLI startup speed improved by 2x for faster iteration.
Smarter project root detection stops at boundaries (`.git`, `package.json`) instead of the filesystem root.
Added provider-level reasoning effort validation to automatically cap unsupported effort levels on specific models.
Fixed Vertex AI authentication issues when using service accounts and specific location environment variables.

New Features

Added support for monorepo markers (`lerna.json`, `nx.json`, `turbo.json`)
Improved JSON schemas for AI-related commands to enhance compatibility with OpenAI models

### Patch Changes

-   [#1523](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1523) [`fc1a79f`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/fc1a79f2565b0d8c24f009aec2c473a335262ae2) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Codex cli Validate reasoning effort against model capabilities
    -   Add provider-level reasoning effort validation for OpenAI models
    -   Automatically cap unsupported effort levels (e.g., 'xhigh' on gpt-5.1 and gpt-5 becomes 'high')

-   [#1549](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1549) [`98087ac`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/98087acae91fad7345bdb4c253d4dfd0d584f81e) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Improve CLI startup speed by 2x

-   [#1545](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1545) [`a0007a3`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/a0007a3575305c367c8561584aa0dbd181f5e1cc) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Smarter project root detection with boundary markers
    -   Prevents Task Master from incorrectly detecting `.taskmaster` folders in your home directory when working inside a different project
    -   Now stops at project boundaries (`.git`, `package.json`, lock files) instead of searching all the way up to the filesystem root
    -   Adds support for monorepo markers (`lerna.json`, `nx.json`, `turbo.json`) and additional lock files (`bun.lockb`, `deno.lock`)
