feat: Global config

[nikhilmaddirala]

Can we add support for global config so that we don't have to copy common configs to every new project directory?

E.g. I want to set the model providers globally: https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/blob/main/docs/examples/claude-code-usage.md

tough one, would that be global config for model providers, or global config for rules (ide rules)

[nikhilmaddirala]

I just want to add this model config block (below) to a global config somewhere like ~/.config/taskmaster/config.json. But I can imagine this being useful for some other settings for other folks.

{
  "models": {
    "main": {
      "provider": "claude-code",
      "modelId": "sonnet",
      "maxTokens": 64000,
      "temperature": 0.2
    },
    "research": {
      "provider": "claude-code",
      "modelId": "opus",
      "maxTokens": 32000,
      "temperature": 0.1
    },
    "fallback": {
      "provider": "claude-code",
      "modelId": "sonnet",
      "maxTokens": 64000,
      "temperature": 0.2
    }
  }
}

This is an important feature that is missing

I intuitively put the .taskmaster/config.json in my root directory on my machine, expecting Taskmaster to read the config from there. The vast majority of AI tools support global configs.

I'm in the middle of a small refactor and this is what I'm going to tackle next!
