Bug Report: [tui/persona] — PersonaBar does not display session cost

Severity Assessment

Impact: Medium. The session cost display is a key feature of the PersonaBar — users need to see how much their current session has cost. The missing field means cost tracking is invisible in the TUI.
Likelihood: 100% reproducible — the set_content() method has no cost parameter.
Priority: Medium

Location

File: src/cleveragents/tui/widgets/persona_bar.py — PersonaBar.set_content() (lines 30–38)

Description

The specification defines the PersonaBar as showing five segments:

  feature-dev │ claude-4-sonnet │ think: high │ 2 projects       │ $0.12
  ─────────── ─ ─────────────── ─ ────────── ─ ────────── ─ ────────────
  persona       actor             preset       scope        cost

From the PersonaBar segment table (spec §PersonaBar):

PersonaBar Segment	Style	Updates When
Persona name	`$text-primary` on `$primary 10%` bg	`tab` cycle
Actor name	`$text-secondary`	`tab` cycle
Preset label	`$text-warning` (non-default) / `$text-muted` (default)	`ctrl+tab` cycle
Scope indicator	`$text-muted`	Persona change or `/scope:add/remove`
Session cost	`$secondary 70%`, right-aligned	After each actor response

Actual Behavior

The set_content() method only accepts four parameters — persona_name, actor_name, preset_name, scope_text — with no cost parameter:

def set_content(
    self,
    *,
    persona_name: str,
    actor_name: str,
    preset_name: str,
    scope_text: str,
) -> None:
    self.update(f"{persona_name} | {actor_name} | {preset_name} | {scope_text}")

The output is: "feature-dev | anthropic/claude-4 | think: high | 2 projects" — no cost field.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The set_content() method should accept a cost parameter and display it:

def set_content(
    self,
    *,
    persona_name: str,
    actor_name: str,
    preset_name: str,
    scope_text: str,
    cost: str = "$0.00",
) -> None:
    self.update(f"{persona_name} | {actor_name} | {preset_name} | {scope_text} | {cost}")

The cost should be right-aligned and styled with $secondary 70% per the spec.

Steps to Reproduce

from cleveragents.tui.widgets.persona_bar import PersonaBar
import inspect
sig = inspect.signature(PersonaBar.set_content)
print(list(sig.parameters.keys()))
# Output: ['self', 'persona_name', 'actor_name', 'preset_name', 'scope_text']
# Missing: 'cost'
