Summary

The spec requires shift+enter and ctrl+j to insert newlines in the prompt. Since PromptInput uses a single-line Input widget (not TextArea), newline insertion is impossible.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

shift+enter and ctrl+j must insert newlines in the prompt, enabling multi-line prompt composition.

Actual Behavior

PromptInput inherits from textual.widgets.Input (single-line). The Input widget does not support newlines. No key bindings for shift+enter or ctrl+j are defined in app.py or prompt.py.

The app's BINDINGS only include:

ctrl+q → quit
f1 → help
ctrl+t → cycle_preset

Reproduction Steps

Inspect src/cleveragents/tui/app.py — no shift+enter or ctrl+j binding
Inspect src/cleveragents/tui/widgets/prompt.py — uses single-line Input
Pressing shift+enter in the TUI submits the form (default Input behavior) instead of inserting a newline

Subtasks

Fix PromptInput to use TextArea (prerequisite)
Add shift+enter key binding to insert newline
Add ctrl+j key binding to insert newline
Ensure enter alone still submits
Add tests for newline insertion

Definition of Done

shift+enter inserts \n in prompt
ctrl+j inserts \n in prompt
Tests pass

## Summary The spec requires `shift+enter` and `ctrl+j` to insert newlines in the prompt. Since `PromptInput` uses a single-line `Input` widget (not `TextArea`), newline insertion is impossible. ## Expected Behavior (from spec) `shift+enter` and `ctrl+j` must insert newlines in the prompt, enabling multi-line prompt composition. ## Actual Behavior `PromptInput` inherits from `textual.widgets.Input` (single-line). The `Input` widget does not support newlines. No key bindings for `shift+enter` or `ctrl+j` are defined in `app.py` or `prompt.py`. The app's BINDINGS only include: - `ctrl+q` → quit - `f1` → help - `ctrl+t` → cycle_preset ## Reproduction Steps 1. Inspect `src/cleveragents/tui/app.py` — no `shift+enter` or `ctrl+j` binding 2. Inspect `src/cleveragents/tui/widgets/prompt.py` — uses single-line `Input` 3.
