v0.1.18

• Multi-root workspace UX: the Open taskdev.json picker now also lists workspace folders that don't have a taskdev.json, with a one-click "Create in folder: …" entry. No more digging in the file tree to set up a second project.
• New command TaskDev: Create taskdev.json in folder… — also available in the Explorer right-click menu on workspace folder roots.

v0.1.16

• Each task start writes a fresh timestamped log file instead of appending to one growing log; older runs auto-pruned (keeps last 20 per task).
• MCP taskdev_logs now returns the current run by default (smaller payloads, fewer tokens) and accepts an optional file to read a historical run.
• Added MCP tool taskdev_logs_history and resource template taskdev://logs/{name} for standards-compliant log access.
• Tree-view log icon opens the active run's log (or most recent if stopped).
• Adaptive refresh: 10 s when tasks are running, 60 s when idle or no taskdev.json is present. Skip process reconciliation when no state file exists. Workspace folders added at runtime now get a file-system watcher.

v0.1.15

• Automatically create taskdev.json and .taskdev/ runtime folders from the extension UI.
• Added Cursor MCP config export targets, preselected existing IDE config targets, and a Cursor config template.
• Improved task tree presentation with cleaner labels, richer tooltips, and optional task icons/details.
• Made task rows non-clickable so only inline start, stop, and log actions run.
• Reduced sidebar refresh overhead by caching tree snapshots and reconciling process state less aggressively.
