Fixes issue where 'tm show' command could not find subtasks by their dotted notation ID (e.g., '8.1').

The getTask method now checks if the task ID contains a dot and properly searches within parent task subtasks, returning a Task-like object with the full dotted ID.

This mirrors the fix already implemented in updateTaskStatus method for consistent subtask handling across the codebase.

Fixes #1253

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Subtasks can be accessed via dotted IDs (e.g., "parent.subtask") and are shown as full task entries with sensible defaults, resolved dependencies, parent context, and inherited metadata.
- Regular task lookup for non-dotted IDs remains unchanged.
Bug Fixes
- "tm show" correctly locates and displays subtasks when using dotted notation.
- Retrieving non-existent subtasks now returns no result without affecting top-level task retrieval.
