  • Branch: fix/tui-conversation-export-plain-text
  • Commit Message: fix(tui): add plain text format support to session export command
  • Milestone: v3.7.0
  • Parent Epic: #868

Description

The spec states: "Users can export the full conversation history of a session to a variety of formats, including Markdown, JSON, and plain text."

Current behavior: The /session:export command in src/cleveragents/tui/commands.py (lines 78–138) only supports two formats: json and md (Markdown). The format validation at line 98 explicitly rejects any format other than these two:

if fmt not in ("json", "md"):
    return f"Invalid format: {fmt!r}. Use 'json' or 'md'."

Plain text format (txt) is not supported.

Expected behavior per spec: The export command should also support a txt (plain text) format that exports the conversation as plain text without Markdown formatting.

Code locations:

  • src/cleveragents/tui/commands.py line 98: if fmt not in ("json", "md"): — missing "txt" format
  • src/cleveragents/tui/commands.py lines 106–128: Only handles md and json branches — no txt branch

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Launch the TUI: agents tui
  2. Type /session:export --format txt output.txt
  3. The TUI returns "Invalid format: 'txt'. Use 'json' or 'md'." instead of exporting as plain text

Proposed fix in src/cleveragents/tui/commands.py:

  1. Update the format validation to include "txt": if fmt not in ("json", "md", "txt"):
  2. Add a txt branch that exports the conversation as plain text (stripping Markdown formatting)
  3. Update the error message to mention txt as a valid format option

Subtasks

  • Update format validation in _session_export() to include "txt"
  • Implement plain text export logic (strip Markdown formatting from messages)
  • Update the error message to include txt as a valid format option
  • Add BDD scenario for plain text export in features/tui_session_export_import.feature

Definition of Done

  • /session:export --format txt <path> exports conversation as plain text
  • Error message updated to mention txt as a valid format
  • BDD scenario covers plain text export
  • nox -e typecheck passes
  • nox -e unit_tests passes
  • All nox stages pass
  • Coverage >= 97%

Starting implementation on branch fix/tui-conversation-export-plain-text.

Plan:

  • Wave 1 (all independent, run in parallel):
    1. Add as_export_plain_text() method to Session domain model
    2. Update _session_export() in TuiCommandRouter to support txt format
    3. Add BDD scenario for plain text export in tui_session_export_import.feature
    4. Add BDD step definitions for the new scenario

All 4 subtasks touch different areas and can be implemented simultaneously.
