Bug Report: [tui] — Default Dracula theme is not configured in the TUI app

Severity Assessment

Impact: Low-Medium. The TUI will launch with Textual's default theme instead of Dracula, causing visual inconsistency with the spec mockups and color token references.
Likelihood: 100% reproducible.
Priority: Low

Location

File: src/cleveragents/tui/app.py — _TextualCleverAgentsTuiApp class definition (lines 86–195)

Description

The specification (§Color Palette and Theming) states:

"Default theme is Dracula. All 17+ Textual built-in themes are supported and switchable via /theme <name>."

The spec also shows the settings screen with Dracula as the default:

│    Theme                   [ dracula          ]  17 themes available               │

Textual apps set their default theme via the THEME class variable (or DEFAULT_CSS with theme-specific variables). The current implementation does not set this:

class _TextualCleverAgentsTuiApp(_TextualApp):
    """Main TUI app."""

    CSS_PATH: ClassVar[str] = "cleveragents.tcss"
    BINDINGS: ClassVar[list[tuple[str, str, str]]] = [
        ("ctrl+q", "quit", "Quit"),
        ("f1", "help", "Help"),
        ("ctrl+t", "cycle_preset", "Cycle Preset"),
    ]
    # No THEME = "dracula" class variable

Actual Behavior

The TUI launches with Textual's default theme (typically textual-dark or textual-light), not Dracula.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The app class should declare:

THEME: ClassVar[str] = "dracula"

This ensures the TUI launches with the Dracula color palette, which is referenced throughout the spec's color token definitions ($primary, $secondary, etc.).

Steps to Reproduce

Run the TUI
Observe the color scheme — it will not match the Dracula palette shown in spec mockups
