Address GitHub review feedback for selective execution feature

- Enhanced error messages with specific action and available tags information
- Improved type safety by removing problematic TaskSelectorType alias
- Added comprehensive tag validation with normalization in Task class
- Fixed edge case handling for untagged tasks in tag selector
- Added test for invalid tag types validation
- Maintained backward compatibility while optimizing performance
