Bug Report

Feature Area: TUI plan monitoring and live updates (v3.7.0 TUI)
Severity: Critical — blocks milestone acceptance for v3.7.0 TUI
Found by: UAT tester instance uat-tester-worker-tui-plan-monitoring

What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/tui/app.py and all files under src/cleveragents/tui/ against the specification section "TUI" (spec lines 29010–29220).

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec (lines 29089–29218) defines a right-side collapsible sidebar with three states cycled by shift+tab:

Hidden — sidebar display: none; conversation takes full width
Visible — sidebar docked right, 32–40 chars wide; shows Plans panel and Projects panel in collapsible containers
Fullscreen — covers entire screen; shows extended plan/project details, selection mode, persona management

The Plans panel (visible state) shows each plan with:

Plan name with active indicator (►)
Phase with dot progress indicator (e.g., Phase: Execute ●●●○)
Automation profile
Actor name
Cost
Subplan tree (depth/count)

The sidebar is toggled with shift+tab and escape cascades back through states.

Actual Behavior (from code analysis)

src/cleveragents/tui/app.py compose() method (lines 109–121):

def compose(self) -> Any:
    yield _Header(show_clock=True)
    with _Vertical(id="main-column"):
        yield _Static("CleverAgents TUI", id="conversation")
        yield HelpPanelOverlay(id="help-panel")
        yield ReferencePickerOverlay(id="reference-picker")
        yield SlashCommandOverlay(id="slash-overlay")
        yield ActorSelectionOverlay(id="actor-selection")
        yield PromptInput(...)
        yield PersonaBar(id="persona-bar")
    yield _Footer()

No sidebar widget exists anywhere in src/cleveragents/tui/
No Plans panel widget — no PlanListPanel, SidebarWidget, or equivalent
No Projects panel widget
No shift+tab binding in BINDINGS (only ctrl+q, f1, ctrl+t)
No sidebar state machine (hidden/visible/fullscreen)
The screens/ directory is empty (only __pycache__/)

Steps to Reproduce

Run agents tui (or inspect src/cleveragents/tui/app.py)
Press shift+tab — nothing happens (binding not registered)
No sidebar appears at any point

Code Locations

src/cleveragents/tui/app.py — compose() method, BINDINGS class variable
src/cleveragents/tui/widgets/ — no sidebar or plan panel widgets present
src/cleveragents/tui/screens/ — empty directory

Impact

Without the sidebar, users cannot:

Monitor active plan status in real time
See plan phase progress indicators
Navigate to plan details
View project associations

This is the primary plan monitoring surface described in the v3.7.0 TUI spec.
