Bug Report

Feature Area: TUI plan monitoring and live updates (v3.7.0 TUI)
Severity: Medium — PersonaBar spec deviations
Found by: UAT tester instance uat-tester-worker-tui-plan-monitoring

What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/tui/widgets/persona_bar.py and src/cleveragents/tui/app.py against the specification section "PersonaBar" (spec lines 29238–29257).

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The PersonaBar (spec lines 29238–29257) shows five segments:

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

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

Preset cycling is bound to ctrl+tab (spec line 29262).

Actual Behavior (from code analysis)

Issue 1: Missing cost display

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

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}")

No cost parameter — session cost is never displayed
The rendered string is "persona | actor | preset | scope" — missing the $0.12 cost segment

Issue 2: Wrong preset cycling binding

src/cleveragents/tui/app.py line 95:

("ctrl+t", "cycle_preset", "Cycle Preset"),

The spec requires ctrl+tab for preset cycling (spec line 29262, 29095). The implementation uses ctrl+t instead.

Code Locations

src/cleveragents/tui/widgets/persona_bar.py lines 30–38 — set_content() missing cost param
src/cleveragents/tui/app.py line 95 — wrong binding ctrl+t instead of ctrl+tab
src/cleveragents/tui/app.py lines 155–166 — _refresh_persona_bar() never passes cost

Impact

Users cannot see session cost in the PersonaBar
ctrl+tab (the documented binding) does not cycle presets — ctrl+t does instead
This creates a discoverability issue since the footer and help panel show the wrong binding
