## Add Taskfile for unified dev workflow
### Summary
- Introduces [Taskfile](https://taskfile.dev/) as the single CLI entry
point for all development workflows across backend, frontend, engine,
Docker, and desktop
- ~80 tasks organized into 6 namespaces: `backend:`, `frontend:`,
`engine:`, `docker:`, `desktop:`, plus root-level composites
- All CI workflows migrated to use Task
- Deletes `engine/Makefile` and `scripts/build-tauri-jlink.{sh,bat}` —
replaced by Task equivalents
- Removes redundant npm scripts (`dev`, `build`, `prep`, `lint`, `test`,
`typecheck:all`) from `package.json`
- Smart dependency caching: `sources`/`status`/`generates`
fingerprinting, CI-aware `npm ci` vs `npm install`, `run: once` for
parallel dep deduplication
### What this does NOT do
- Does not replace Gradle, npm, or Docker — Taskfile is a thin
orchestration wrapper
- Does not change application code or behavior
### Install
```
npm install -g @go-task/cli # or: brew install go-task, winget install Task.Task
```
### Quick start
```
task --list # discover all tasks
task install # install all deps
task dev # start backend + frontend
task dev:all # also start AI engine
task test # run all tests
task check # quick quality gate (local dev)
task check:all # full CI quality gate
```
### Test plan
- [ ] Install `task` CLI and run `task --list` — verify all tasks
display
- [ ] Run `task install` — verify frontend + engine deps install
- [ ] Run `task dev` — verify backend + frontend start, Ctrl+C exits
cleanly
- [ ] Run `task frontend:check` — verify typecheck + lint + test pass
- [ ] Run `task desktop:dev` — verify jlink builds are cached on second
run
- [ ] Verify CI passes on all workflows

# Description of Changes
This pull request makes several updates to the repository’s CI/CD
configuration, focusing on improving workflow automation, updating Java
versions, enhancing labeling and file ownership, and cleaning up unused
files. The most significant changes involve migrating workflows and
labels to support a new `V3` branch, updating build environments to use
JDK 21, and expanding automated dependency update coverage.
**Key changes include:**
### CI/CD Workflow Updates
* Updated all GitHub Actions workflows (`build.yml`,
`PR-Demo-Comment-with-react.yml`, etc.) to use JDK 21 instead of JDK 17
for Java builds, ensuring compatibility with newer Java features and
dependencies.

* Removed the now-unused `codeql.yml-disabled` file, cleaning up
deprecated static analysis configuration.
* Added a dedicated `frontend-validation` job in `build.yml` that only
runs when frontend files change, improving CI efficiency.
* Minor workflow improvements: consistent quoting in config paths,
improved cache settings, and small cleanups in deploy scripts.

### Branch and Label Management
* Migrated auto-labeler and build workflows to track the `V3` branch
instead of `V2`, and updated labels and labeler config to use `v3`
instead of `v2`.

* Added new labels for `v3`, `Rust`, `Tauri`, and
`license-review-required` to improve PR categorization and review
processes.
### Dependency Automation
* Expanded `dependabot.yml` to update Gradle dependencies in all
relevant subdirectories (`/`, `/app/common`, `/app/core`,
`/app/proprietary`) and ensured all ecosystems use the `rebase-strategy:
auto` setting for more reliable PR updates.
### File Ownership and Labeling
* Enhanced `.github/config/.files.yaml` to include new scripts and
frontend-related files under the correct project and frontend
categories, and introduced license file groups for both frontend and
backend.

* Improved labeler configuration to better match new frontend and
translation file patterns, and introduced a new label group for
Tauri-related files.

These changes collectively modernize the repository’s automation,
streamline maintenance, and prepare the project for ongoing work on the
`V3` branch.

the `testing` directory will trigger the `docker-compose-tests` workflow
in `build.yml`.
- Updated Python dependencies in
`.github/scripts/requirements_pre_commit.txt` and
`testing/cucumber/requirements.txt` to newer versions, including
`behave`, `pypdf`, `reportlab`, and others.
- Introduced new dependencies like `colorama`, `cucumber-expressions`,
`cucumber-tag-expressions`, and `tomli` in the testing requirements to
support enhanced test execution.
- Ensured hash integrity for all dependency updates.
This change was made to ensure that modifications in the testing suite
automatically trigger relevant CI jobs and that testing dependencies
remain up-to-date for compatibility and stability.

# Description of Changes
- **What was changed**
- Bumped `java.format.settings.google.version` to **1.28.0** in
`.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` and `.vscode/settings.json`.
- Expanded ignore patterns in `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` to cover
`app/core/`, `app/common/`, `app/proprietary/` directories.
- Added a new top‐level `.dockerignore` to exclude build artifacts,
virtual environments, logs, OS files, and markdown docs.
- Consolidated EditorConfig YAML globs into `*.{yml,yaml}` to remove
duplication.
- Fixed missing newline in `.github/config/.files.yaml` and added label
metadata (`from_name`/`description`) in `.github/labels.yml`.
- Updated `build.gradle`:
- Introduced `junitPlatformVersion = "1.12.2"` and replaced hard-coded
launcher versions.
- Applied the `jacoco` plugin across all subprojects and configured
`jacocoTestReport` (XML + HTML).
- Wire-up `jacocoTestReport` to run after tests.
- **Why the change was made**
- Ensure all formatting tools (Google Java Format) stay in sync across
editors and containers.
- Clean up ignore rules to prevent build artifacts and sensitive files
from creeping into images and repos.
- Improve CI visibility by generating code-coverage reports with JaCoCo.
- Keep GitHub configuration files well-formed and enrich label
definitions for automation.

- Updated `.github/labeler-config-srvaroa.yml` and
`.pre-commit-config.yaml` to include the new script directory in their
file-matching patterns.
- Added `GeneralUtils.extractScript(String scriptName)` to load Python
scripts from the classpath (`static/python/`), extract them into a
temporary directory at runtime, and return the filesystem path.
- **Why the change was made**
- To fix the Internal Server Error caused by missing script files at
their old locations.
- Ensure the Python helper scripts are packaged inside the JAR/WAR and
reliably accessible when the application runs.
- Only local installations were affected

# Description of Changes
- **What was changed**:
- Added a new path filter configuration file at
`.github/config/.files.yaml` to centralize filter groups (`build`,
`app`, `openapi`, `project`).
- Updated `.github/workflows/build.yml` to:
- Rename the workflow to “Build and Test Workflow” and add a manual
`workflow_dispatch` trigger.
- Integrate the path-filter step and conditionally run jobs
(`check-generateOpenApiDocs`, `check-licence`, `docker-compose-tests`)
based on changed files.
- Standardize Gradle setup to version 8.14.
- Introduce a new `test-build-docker-images` job that builds Docker
images for each `Dockerfile*` in PRs.
- Updated `.github/workflows/pre_commit.yml` to cache pre-commit
dependencies via `cache-dependency-path:
./.github/scripts/requirements_pre_commit.txt`.
- Updated `.github/workflows/testdriver.yml` to add dedicated Gradle
(`gradle-version: 8.14`) and Node/npm setup steps with caching.
- **Why the change was made**:
To optimize CI performance by only running relevant jobs when specific
files change, improve maintainability through a single source of truth
for path filters, enable manual workflow dispatch, ensure consistent
environments (Gradle, Node), and speed up runs with better caching.
