Bug Report

Feature Area: TUI — Multi-Session Tabs

What Was Tested

The spec (§ "TUI Architecture Overview") defines multi-session tabs as a core architectural feature: "Multi-session tabs — independent sessions with separate personas, conversations, and A2A bindings". The spec also defines a session tab bar with state indicators and navigation hotkeys.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Session tab bar below the throbber (hidden when only 1 session)
Each tab shows: session name, state icon (⌛ working, ❯ awaiting input, plain idle)
Active tab has underline indicator (━━━)
Hotkeys:
- ctrl+[ — Previous session tab
- ctrl+] — Next session tab
- ctrl+n — New session tab
- ctrl+w — Close current session tab
- ctrl+s — Open Sessions screen
- 1-9 — Jump to tab by number
tab key cycles through personas (not sessions)
Each session has independent persona, conversation, and A2A binding

Actual Behavior

The _TextualCleverAgentsTuiApp in src/cleveragents/tui/app.py creates a single hardcoded SessionView:

self._session = SessionView(session_id="default", transcript=[])

There is no session tab bar widget, no multi-session management, and none of the session tab hotkeys are bound. The BINDINGS only contains ctrl+q, f1, and ctrl+t.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/tui/app.py — single hardcoded session, no tab bar, missing bindings
Spec reference: §"Session Tabs" (line ~29761 in docs/specification.md)

Impact

The TUI is limited to a single session. Users cannot:

Create new sessions
Switch between sessions
Have independent conversations with different actors simultaneously
Use the session tab navigation hotkeys

⚠️ Potential duplicate detected.

This issue appears to cover similar ground as:

#4776 — TUI multi-session tab bar not implemented (more detailed, newer)
#4656 — TUI multi-session tabs not implemented (similar scope)
#4638 — TUI multi-session tabs not implemented (similar scope)
#4070 — TUI multi-session tabs completely absent (older)

These issues all track the same underlying missing feature. Consider consolidating into a single tracking issue to avoid duplicate implementation work.
