Strategic Pillar: TUI Implementation

This Legendary covers the comprehensive Text User Interface (TUI) implementation using Textual >= 1.0. It provides an interactive terminal-based interface for CleverAgents with multi-session support, persona system, reference/command input, and full A2A integration. It spans milestone v3.7.0.

Articulated End State

When this Legendary is complete:

  • Textual-based MainScreen with 3 sidebar states (hidden/visible/fullscreen) is operational
  • Persona system (YAML-based actor + args + scope + presets) is functional
  • Reference and command input system (@, /, ! modes) works correctly
  • TuiMaterializer A2A integration layer connects TUI to agent execution
  • Session persistence (SQLite at ~/.local/state/cleveragents/tui.db) works
  • Dracula theme, block cursor navigation, notification system are implemented
  • Multi-session tabs with independent A2A bindings work
  • Settings screen and session management screen are functional
  • Content pruning, safety behaviors, loading states are implemented
  • All TUI slash commands (70+ catalog commands) are routed correctly

Child Epics

  • Epic: TUI Core Layout & Navigation (v3.7.0)
  • Epic: Persona System (v3.7.0)
  • Epic: Reference & Command Input System (v3.7.0)
  • Epic: TUI A2A Integration Layer (v3.7.0)
  • Epic: Session Management & Persistence (v3.7.0)
  • Epic: TUI Slash Command Router (v3.7.0)
  • Epic: TUI Safety & Permission System (v3.7.0)

Definition of Done

  • All child Epics are closed
  • TUI launches and renders correctly with Dracula theme
  • Multi-session tabs work with independent A2A bindings
  • Persona system functional (YAML-based)
  • All 70+ slash commands routed correctly
  • Test coverage >= 97%

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified
  • Priority: High — TUI is a primary user-facing interface for CleverAgents; the Textual-based interactive interface is a key product differentiator
  • Milestone: v3.7.0
  • Story Points: 88 — XXL — Legendary spanning the full v3.7.0 milestone with TUI Core Layout, Slash Command Router, and related Epics
  • MoSCoW: Must Have — The TUI is a core product feature specified as a primary interaction mode; without it, users have only the CLI which limits usability for complex workflows
  • Type: Legendary

This Legendary is valid and well-scoped. It covers TUI Core Layout & Navigation, TUI Slash Command Router (70+ commands), and the full Textual-based interactive interface.

Closing as superseded by the canonical Legendary #8135 which covers the same scope with a more complete structure.

⚠️ CORRECTION — Previous comment retracted: This Legendary has open child Epics with active work items and cannot be closed at this time. The previous comment suggesting closure was premature. This issue requires human review before any closure decision is made.

Reason for retraction: Forgejo blocked closure (HTTP 412) because this Legendary has open dependencies (child Epics and/or UAT issues) that are still actively being worked on. These child Epics are NOT covered by the canonical Legendary and represent unique, active work.

Action required: Human review needed to determine whether:

  1. The open child Epics should be migrated to the canonical Legendary before closing this one, OR
  2. This Legendary should remain open as a parallel tracking vehicle, OR
  3. The child Epics should be closed first, then this Legendary closed
