Bug Report

Feature Area: TUI Main Screen — PersonaBar
Severity: Non-critical (missing field in existing widget)
Spec Reference: ADR-044 §Prompt Architecture
Found by: UAT Testing Pool (uat-pool-1), worker: tui-main-screen

What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/tui/widgets/persona_bar.py against ADR-044 PersonaBar specification.

Expected Behavior (from spec/ADR-044)

ADR-044 §Prompt Architecture defines the PersonaBar as:

"PersonaBar — always visible below the prompt, showing: persona name, actor name/model, current argument preset name (from ctrl+tab cycling), scope indicator (number of scoped projects/plans), and cumulative session cost"

The spec mockup shows:

feature-dev │ claude-4-sonnet │ think: high │ 2 projects │ $0.12

The PersonaBar must display 5 fields:

Persona name
Actor name/model
Current argument preset name
Scope indicator (number of scoped projects/plans)
Cumulative session cost (e.g., $0.12)

Actual Behavior

The PersonaBar.set_content() method accepts only 4 parameters and formats them without cost:

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. No cost display. The _refresh_persona_bar() in app.py also doesn't pass cost:

bar.set_content(
    persona_name=persona.name,
    actor_name=persona.actor,
    preset_name=preset,
    scope_text=scope_text,
    # No cost parameter
)

Impact

Users cannot see the cumulative session cost in the TUI, which is a key feature for cost-aware usage. The spec mockup explicitly shows $0.12 as part of the PersonaBar.

Fix

Add cost: str parameter to PersonaBar.set_content() and include it in the formatted output.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/tui/widgets/persona_bar.py — set_content() method missing cost parameter
src/cleveragents/tui/app.py — _refresh_persona_bar() method not passing cost

MoSCoW classification: MoSCoW/Could have

Rationale: The PersonaBar missing cumulative session cost display is a TUI cosmetic issue per ADR-044. The TUI works without it. This is a Could Have — it improves the user experience by showing cost information but is not blocking any functionality.

Also adding Points/2 — S — Adding a cost display field to the PersonaBar widget is a focused UI change, estimated 1-4 hours.
