Bug Report

Feature Area: TUI Main Screen — Dracula Theme
Severity: Non-critical (cosmetic/configuration deviation)
Spec Reference: ADR-044 §Application Class and Screen Architecture, §Theme and Styling Architecture
Found by: UAT Testing Pool (uat-pool-1), worker: tui-main-screen


What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/tui/app.py for Dracula theme configuration.

Expected Behavior (from spec/ADR-044)

ADR-044 §Application Class and Screen Architecture specifies:

CleverAgentsApp(App)
└── Theme:
    └── Default: "dracula" (17+ Textual built-in themes supported)

ADR-044 §Theme and Styling Architecture states:

"Default theme is Dracula. All 17+ Textual built-in themes are supported and switchable via /theme <name> command or settings."

The Textual App class supports setting the default theme via THEME class variable or DEFAULT_CSS / theme property.

Actual Behavior

The _TextualCleverAgentsTuiApp class in app.py has no THEME class variable:

class _TextualCleverAgentsTuiApp(_TextualApp):
    """Main TUI app."""

    CSS_PATH: ClassVar[str] = "cleveragents.tcss"
    BINDINGS: ClassVar[list[tuple[str, str, str]]] = [
        ("ctrl+q", "quit", "Quit"),
        ("f1", "help", "Help"),
        ("ctrl+t", "cycle_preset", "Cycle Preset"),
    ]
    # No THEME = "dracula" here

Without THEME = "dracula", Textual will use its default theme (typically "textual-dark" or "textual-light"), not Dracula. The /theme slash command is registered in the catalog but not implemented in TuiCommandRouter.handle().

Steps to Reproduce

grep -r "THEME\|dracula\|DEFAULT_THEME" src/cleveragents/tui/ --include="*.py"
# Only finds slash_catalog.py with "theme" command description
# No THEME class variable in app.py

Impact

The TUI will launch with the wrong default theme. While this doesn't prevent functionality, it deviates from the spec and the Dracula theme is part of the v3.7.0 milestone scope:

"Dracula theme, block cursor navigation, notification system"

Fix

Add THEME: ClassVar[str] = "dracula" to _TextualCleverAgentsTuiApp in app.py.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/tui/app.py — line 91-96 (class definition, missing THEME)

MoSCoW classification: MoSCoW/Could have

Rationale: The Dracula theme not being set as default is a cosmetic/configuration deviation from ADR-044. The TUI works correctly — it just uses a different default theme. This is a non-critical issue that can be fixed with a single line change (THEME = "dracula" in CleverAgentsTuiApp). It does not affect functionality and is not blocking any milestone.

Also adding Points/1 — XS — Setting a default theme is a trivial one-line change.
