Bug Report

Feature Area: TUI main interface — screen transitions and modal screens
Severity: Medium (backlog)
Found by: UAT tester instance uat-tester-worker-tui-nav-001
Spec reference: docs/specification.md §Plan Detail Modal (line ~29512), §Project Detail Modal (line ~29577), §Persona Editor Modal (line ~29614)


What Was Tested

The src/cleveragents/tui/screens/ directory was inspected for modal screen implementations.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec defines four modal screens/overlays:

  1. PlanDetailModal — Shows plan's decision tree with interactive navigation (j/k, enter, c, d, h, t, x, z, s, /, escape)
  2. ProjectDetailModal — Shows project's resource DAG, invariants, and running plans
  3. PersonaEditorModal — Used for creating and editing personas (triggered by ctrl+p in sidebar fullscreen)
  4. SettingsScreen — Opened by /settings command

These are triggered by:

  • enter on a plan in the sidebar → PlanDetailModal
  • enter on a project in the sidebar → ProjectDetailModal
  • ctrl+p in sidebar fullscreen → PersonaEditorModal
  • /settings slash command → SettingsScreen

Actual Behavior

The src/cleveragents/tui/screens/ directory contains only a __pycache__ directory with a compiled main_screen.cpython-313.pyc but no Python source files:

src/cleveragents/tui/screens/
└── __pycache__/
    ├── __init__.cpython-313.pyc
    └── main_screen.cpython-313.pyc  ← compiled but no source

None of the four modal screens are implemented:

  • No PlanDetailModal
  • No ProjectDetailModal
  • No PersonaEditorModal
  • No SettingsScreen

The main_screen.py source file appears to have been deleted (pyc exists but source is gone).

Additionally, the /settings command returns "Unknown command: /settings" from the router.

Code Location

  • Screens directory: src/cleveragents/tui/screens/ (empty of source files)
  • Router: src/cleveragents/tui/commands.pyhandle() method

Impact

Users cannot:

  • Inspect plan decision trees interactively
  • View project resource DAGs
  • Create or edit personas via the GUI
  • Access settings

These are all features described in the v3.7.0 TUI spec.

Label compliance fix applied:

  • Added missing label: State/Unverified
  • Reason: CONTRIBUTING.md requires every issue to have exactly one State/* label. This issue had none. Applied State/Unverified as the safest default.

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified — Valid UAT finding. The src/cleveragents/tui/screens/ directory has no Python source files (only compiled .pyc), confirming 4 modal screens are completely unimplemented.
  • Priority: High — These are not optional polish items. PlanDetailModal, ProjectDetailModal, PersonaEditorModal, and SettingsScreen are core TUI navigation screens. Without them, users cannot inspect plans, view projects, manage personas, or access settings.
  • Milestone: v3.7.0 — TUI Implementation milestone (already assigned correctly)
  • Story Points: 13 (XXL) — Implementing 4 complete modal screens with keyboard navigation, data binding, and integration tests is a major effort (1+ week)
  • MoSCoW: Must Have (overriding previous Could Have) — The spec defines these as primary TUI navigation mechanisms. The TUI milestone cannot be considered complete without the ability to inspect plans and projects. The Could Have label was set by the UAT tester without full strategic context.

MoSCoW Override Rationale: The UAT tester assigned Could Have based on severity assessment, but strategically these screens are Must Have for v3.7.0 milestone completion. The spec explicitly defines plan inspection and project detail as core TUI capabilities. Without PlanDetailModal, users cannot inspect the decision tree — the primary value proposition of the TUI.
