## 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
- **What was changed**
- Updated `.github/labeler-config-srvaroa.yml` to match the new
`devGuide/.*` patterns instead of the old `HowToAddNewLanguage.md`
- Modified `.github/pull_request_template.md` to point to
`devGuide/DeveloperGuide.md` and `devGuide/HowToAddNewLanguage.md` for
the Developer Guide and translation-tags sections
- Updated the SSO link in `README.md` to point to the 'Single Sign-On
Configuration' section on docs.stirlingpdf.com instead of the outdated
Enterprise Edition page
- Changed the relative link in `devGuide/DeveloperGuide.md` to use
`../CONTRIBUTING.md` for consistency
- Added a new `devGuide/EXCEPTION_HANDLING_GUIDE.md` to document
standard exception-handling patterns and internationalisation best
practices
- Updated `devGuide/README.md` index to reflect the new location and
naming conventions for development guides
- **Why the change was made**
- To centralise all development documentation under a single `devGuide`
directory for better organisation and discoverability.
- To ensure that GitHub labeler rules and PR templates correctly
reference the new file structure.
- To introduce a clear, project-wide guide on exception handling,
improving consistency across Java, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and Python
components.
Closes#3799
