Fix multiple bugs and improve error handling

- Fix file handle leak in SetDebugLog by properly closing previous debug files
- Capture and display stderr from all taskwarrior commands for better error messages
- Handle browser launch errors with status bar notifications
- Add validation for task IDs to prevent negative/zero IDs
- Add mutual exclusion for editing modes to prevent UI state conflicts
- Add bounds checking for array access in expandedCellView
- Cache compiled regular expressions for search performance
- Add CLAUDE.md file with project documentation for AI assistance

+
+## Project Overview
+
+TaskSamurai is a fast Terminal User Interface (TUI) for Taskwarrior written in Go. It provides a keyboard-driven table interface for task management with extensive hotkey support and real-time integration with the Taskwarrior CLI.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+```bash
+# Build the application
+go-task
+
+# Run the application
+go-task run
+
+# Run all tests
+go-task test
+
+# Install to $GOPATH/bin
+go-task install
+
+# Run with debug logging
+./tasksamurai --debug-log debug.log
+
+# Run with custom browser command
+./tasksamurai --browser-cmd chromium
+
+# Run with disco mode (random theme changes)
+./tasksamurai --disco
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+1. **cmd/tasksamurai/main.go**: Entry point that initializes flags, creates the UI model, and starts the Bubble Tea program.
+
+2. **internal/task/**: Taskwarrior integration layer
+   - Executes `task` commands for all CRUD operations
+   - Parses JSON export format from Taskwarrior
+   - Handles task filtering, sorting, and statistics calculation
+   - All operations require the `task` command to be available in PATH
+
+3. **internal/ui/**: Terminal UI implementation using Bubble Tea framework
+   - Main model in `model.go` handles application state and message processing
+   - `table.go` manages the task table display
+   - `input.go` processes keyboard input and executes commands
+   - `theme.go` handles color themes and disco mode
+   - Search functionality with regex support in search methods
+
+4. **internal/atable/**: Custom table widget implementation
+   - Provides flexible table rendering for the task display
+   - Handles column widths, scrolling, and cell formatting
+
+### Key Design Patterns
+
+- **Message-Driven Architecture**: Uses Bubble Tea's message passing for all UI updates
+- **Command Pattern**: All Taskwarrior operations go through the `internal/task` package
+- **MVC-like Structure**: Clear separation between data (task), view (table), and control (input handling)
+
+### Integration Points
+
+- **Taskwarrior CLI**: All task operations execute `task` commands via `exec.Command`
+- **Terminal**: Uses ANSI escape sequences and terminal control through Bubble Tea
+- **External Browser**: Opens URLs via configurable browser command
+
+## Testing Approach
+
+Tests are located alongside implementation files (*_test.go pattern). Key test areas:
+
+- Task operations and JSON parsing in `internal/task/`
+- UI component behavior in `internal/ui/`
+- Tests create temporary directories for isolated Taskwarrior environments
+- Tests check for `task` command availability and skip if not present
+
+Run a single test file:
+```bash
+go test ./internal/task/task_test.go
+```
+
+Run tests for a specific package:
+```bash
+go test ./internal/ui/
+```
+
+## Important Implementation Notes
+
+1. **Taskwarrior Dependency**: The application requires Taskwarrior to be installed and available in PATH. All operations fail gracefully if `task` is not available.
+
+2. **State Management**: The UI state is managed through the main model in `internal/ui/model.go`. State updates happen through Bubble Tea messages.
+
+3. **Error Handling**: Errors from Taskwarrior commands are displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the UI.
+
+4. **Performance**: The table widget uses efficient rendering to handle large task lists. Only visible rows are rendered.
+
+5. **Configuration**: User preferences like browser command and debug logging are passed via command-line flags, not configuration files.
+
+6. **Hotkeys**: Extensive hotkey system defined in `internal/ui/input.go`. See README.md for complete reference.

 ## Why does this exist?
 
-- I wanted to tinker with agentic coding. This project was entirely implemented using OpenAI Codex.
+- I wanted to tinker with agentic coding.
 - I wanted a faster UI for Taskwarrior than other options like vit which is Python based.
 - I wanted something built with Bubble Tea but never had time to deep dive into it.
