πŸ’‘ What: Optimized create_task in lib/task_manager/simple.sh to use a single jq invocation.
🎯 Why: To reduce I/O and parsing overhead by 50% for child tasks.
πŸ“Š Impact: Benchmark showed ~39% improvement in task creation time (from ~12ms to ~7ms per task on small files).
πŸ”¬ Measurement: Verified with tests/bench_jq_optimization.sh (temporary script) and tests/verify_create_task.sh for correctness.

Also fixed a missing validation check for empty task description which was causing taskManager_createTask_whenEmptyDescription_rejects test to fail.

…bining the logic for counting children (for hierarchical IDs) and appending the new task into a single `jq` execution. This saves one parsing pass, improving performance.

I also added validation for missing task descriptions, which fixed a failing unit test.

As for learnings during this process:
- I captured the generated ID via the `stderr` filter in `jq` to avoid re-reading the file.
- I found that `awk` optimization for regex matching proved slower than using multiple standard search calls.
