Minor Changes

#1599 e689fcf Thanks @triepod-ai! - Add MCPB bundle for single-click Claude Desktop installation
- Added manifest.json for MCP Bundle (MCPB) specification v0.3
- Added .mcpbignore to exclude development files from bundle
- Added icon.png (512x512) for Claude Desktop display
- Enables users to install Task Master MCP server directly in Claude Desktop without manual configuration
#1605 efedc85 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Add verbose output mode to loop command with --verbose flag
- New -v, --verbose flag shows Claude's work in real-time (thinking, tool calls) rather than waiting until the iteration completes
- New --no-output flag excludes full Claude output from iteration results to save memory
- Improved error handling with proper validation for incompatible options (verbose + sandbox)
#1611 c798639 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Add optional metadata field to tasks for storing user-defined custom data
Tasks and subtasks now support an optional metadata field that allows storing arbitrary JSON data such as:
- External IDs (GitHub issues, Jira tickets, Linear issues)
- Workflow data (sprints, story points, custom statuses)
- Integration data (sync timestamps, external system references)
- Custom tracking (UUIDs, version numbers, audit information)
Key features:
- AI-Safe: Metadata is preserved through all AI operations (update-task, expand, etc.) because AI schemas intentionally exclude this field
- Flexible Schema: Store any JSON-serializable data without schema changes
- Backward Compatible: The field is optional; existing tasks work without modification
- Subtask Support: Both tasks and subtasks can have their own metadata
- MCP Tool Support: Use update_task and update_subtask with the metadata parameter to update metadata (requires TASK_MASTER_ALLOW_METADATA_UPDATES=true in MCP server environment)
Example usage:
```
{
  "id": 1,
  "title": "Implement authentication",
  "metadata": {
    "githubIssue": 42,
    "sprint": "Q1-S3",
    "storyPoints": 5
  }
}
```
MCP metadata update example:
```
// With TASK_MASTER_ALLOW_METADATA_UPDATES=true set in MCP env
update_task({
  id: "1",
  metadata: '{"githubIssue": 42, "sprint": "Q1-S3"}',
});
```
