This change actually merged by #844.

Summary

Refactored the monolithic 79-line Rakefile into a clean 15-line loader that dynamically imports task definitions from separate files in the tasks/ directory.

Changes

New Structure

• Created tasks/ directory with 5 focused rake files:
  • tasks/test.rake - test execution tasks
  • tasks/rubocop.rake - RuboCop linting tasks
  • tasks/yard.rake - YARD documentation tasks
  • tasks/gem_tasks.rake - gem building and release tasks
  • tasks/test_gem.rake - gem sanity check task

Main Rakefile

• Now loads all .rake files from tasks/ directory
• Dynamically builds default task list based on available tasks
• Reduced from 79 lines to 15 lines
• Improved separation of concerns

Platform Logic

• Moved platform-specific logic (JRuby/TruffleRuby check) into yard.rake where it belongs
• Each task file now encapsulates its own requirements and constraints

Maintained Functionality

All original functionality is preserved:

• ✅ Default tasks remain: test, rubocop, yard, yardstick:coverage, build
• ✅ yardstick remains commented out of defaults (too many warnings)
• ✅ All task descriptions and behavior unchanged
• ✅ Platform-specific behavior preserved
• ✅ All rake commands work identically

Benefits

1. Better organization - Related tasks are grouped together
2. Easier maintenance - Changes to specific task groups are isolated
3. Improved readability - Main Rakefile is now simple and clear
4. Separation of concerns - Each file has a single responsibility

Testing

rake -T  # All tasks available
rake --dry-run  # Confirms default task sequence
rake  # Successfully runs all default tasks
