Navi Code TUI: show request duration (live timer + chat metadata)
...
Live elapsed timer next to the activity indicator (ticks once per second
during a turn, format 2m 16s), driven by the same stream_start/stream_end
hooks as the activity indicator — so it spans the whole turn (all LLM calls,
tool calls, planning, sub-agent steps). On stream_end it syncs to the
backend's authoritative elapsed_seconds before freezing; on stream_stopped/
error/disconnect it freezes at the locally-measured value.
On stream_end the model also appends a turn_meta ChatItem rendered as a dim
"⏱ 2m 16s" line below the answer — the total time the agent spent on the
user's request. The value comes from stream_end.elapsed_seconds, already
measured by the backend over the whole turn, so the TUI needs no timer for
accuracy. stream_stopped/error do not get a metadata line (only completed
requests).
Shared format_duration(): None -> "—", <60s -> "16s", <3600 -> "2m 16s",
>=3600 -> "1h 2m".

Navi Code TUI: context-window fill gauge in the status bar
...
Add a ContextFill widget to the bottom StatusBar showing how full the LLM
context window is (absolute tokens + percent), colored by fill level:
dim < 70%, warning 70-89%, error >= 90%. Updates from stream_end and
compression_started/context_compressed events; seeded from get_session on
resume so the gauge isn't blank pre-turn. None from the backend keeps the
last known value.
Fix: name the widget attribute _ctx_fill, not _context — _context shadows
MessagePump._context (the internal context manager Textual wraps around
message processing) and hangs the app's message pump at mount time.
Polish: drop the "ctx " prefix (shows 12.0k/32.0k · 38%) and add a 1-char
margin between the activity indicator and the gauge.

tui: load session message history into the chat panel on resume
...
Resuming or switching a session showed a blank chat — the past conversation
was never replayed. GET /sessions/{id} already returns the messages; the TUI
just ignored them.
- ChatModel.load_history maps persisted Message dicts back to the same
ChatItems the live stream produces (user/assistant text, thinking, tool
started/result, plan), skipping is_display=False (context-only user,
summaries, compression events) so only what the user would have seen
live is rebuilt.
- ChatPanel.load_history wraps it (clears the render cache + refresh).
- attach_session loads the messages from get_session, so resume/switch
replays the history before the cwd/Connected banners.

tui: activity indicator in a bottom status bar + 1-line input
...
Add an animated "agent is working" indicator so a silent gap (long-running
tool, the pause before the first token, sub-agent reasoning) reads as
"alive" rather than "hung": a braille spinner + phase label that runs on
its own timer, independent of the WebSocket event flow.
- New ActivityIndicator widget (rotating spinner + phase label, colored
status_online), started/stopped from tui_app WS phase transitions
(thinking / responding / planning / running <tool>) and stopped on
stream_end/stopped/error and on connection drop.
- New StatusBar bottom line replaces Textual's Footer: indicator on the
left, dim key-combo summary on the right. One line instead of the menu;
the key bindings themselves stay on the App so the keys still work.
- Input box: TextArea min-height 3 -> 1, so the prompt is one line by
default (auto-resize + max-height 12 unchanged).

tui: drop unused Tokens/Iter rows from the status panel

set_tokens/set_iterations were never called and the two rows permanently
showed "-", so they were dead noise in the right column. Remove the rows

tui: bound chat history render cost (cache + visible-item cap)
...
The chat panel rebuilt every renderable on each WS event, including
per-token stream_delta — so markdown was re-parsed for the entire history
on every token and the TUI lagged as conversations grew.
- Cache renderables keyed by id(item)+signature so only the changed item
(the streaming assistant bubble) is rebuilt per token; the rest are
reused. Prune orphaned entries so cache stays bounded by live items.
- Add max_visible_items TUI setting (default 200): render only the last
N items with a "… N earlier messages not shown" hint when truncated.
Items stay in the in-memory model (non-destructive) but are not laid
out, so per-refresh cost is constant regardless of history length.
- Rename the cache attr to _chat_render_cache to avoid collision with
Textual Widget._render_cache, which it resets on mount.

Navi Code TUI: sub-agent spawn card + nested styling for subagent thinking/planning
...
Sub-agent activity was either rendered as a generic tool card (spawn_agent) or
dropped to raw debug output (turn_thinking was unhandled in the TUI chat model
and the raw CLI). The webclient nests subagent events inside the spawn_agent
card; the TUI is flat, so nesting is conveyed with a distinct spawn card plus
left-indented, dimmed subagent cards.
New renderers/subagent.py:
- SpawnAgentStartedRenderer: "↘ subagent · <profile_id>" card showing the task
(+ briefing dimmed), secondary border. Registered before ToolStartedRenderer.
- SpawnAgentResultRenderer: "↙ subagent · <profile_id> ✓/✗" card with the
result, success/error border. Registered before ToolResultRenderer.
Nested subagent styling (left indent via Padding + dim):
- ThinkingRenderer: is_subagent → "subagent thinking" title, dim border, indented.
- PlanningStatusRenderer / PlanReadyRenderer: is_subagent → indented (label/title
already mark it as subagent).
- ToolStartedRenderer / ToolResultRenderer: is_subagent → indented so inner
tool calls read as nested inside the spawn card.
chat_model handles turn_thinking → thinking_block item with is_subagent meta;
chat_panel._refresh forwards is_subagent to the thinking renderer. Raw CLI
render.py prints turn_thinking as a [thinking] block (with "(subagent)" prefix).
Tests: spawn card shows profile/task and status; subagent thinking/planning/tool
cards are indented and labeled; non-subagent tool card is not indented;
turn_thinking creates a subagent thinking_block. 593 passed, 1 skipped.

Navi Code: render planning as a progress line + plan card, not raw events
...
planning_status and plan_ready events were unhandled in the TUI chat model and
the raw CLI renderer, so they fell through to raw debug output (TUI:
"plan_ready: {...}" status lines; raw CLI: "[event: plan_ready] {msg}").
TUI:
- New renderers/planning.py: PlanningStatusRenderer renders a "⚙ Planning ·
<label>" line (info color; dim + "(subagent)" prefix for subagent planning);
PlanReadyRenderer renders the plan as a Panel wrapping themed Markdown, titled
"Plan" with an accent border ("subagent plan" + dim border for subagents).
- Registered both in default_registry().
- chat_model handles the events: non-subagent planning_status rolls in place
(Analysis → Execution plan → Plan review share one line instead of stacking);
plan_ready consumes the pending planning line and appends the plan card;
subagent planning is appended as its own dim line/card so it does not bleed
into the parent turn's indicator (matching the webclient).
- chat_panel._refresh maps the new kinds to the registry.
Raw CLI (render.py): planning_status prints "[planning] <label>"; plan_ready
prints a "[plan] … [/plan]" block with the plan text.
Tests: renderer accepts/render (label, subagent prefix, plan title/content);
chat_model rolling-in-place, plan_ready consumes indicator, subagent separation.
584 passed, 1 skipped.

Navi Code TUI: drop forced line break, keep soft-wrap + Enter to send
...
The forced line break (Ctrl+Enter) never worked: the target terminal does not
distinguish any modifier+Enter from plain Enter — all of Ctrl/Alt/Shift+Enter
arrive as key='enter' character='\r' (verified via a one-off key probe). With
Enter bound to submit, any modifier+Enter newline binding would collide with
submit and is impossible to distinguish in software.
Remove the Ctrl+Enter branch from _PromptInput._on_key. The input stays
multi-line via soft-wrap (TextArea soft_wrap=True) and height: auto growth;
Enter still submits. Placeholder and module docstring updated to drop the
Ctrl+Enter mention and note why a newline key is not wired (revisit later).
Tests: removed test_ctrl_enter_inserts_newline_without_submitting; kept the
multiline-submit and input-grows tests. 576 passed, 1 skipped.

Navi Code TUI: make the message input multi-line
...
InputBox used textual.widgets.Input, a single-line widget. Swap to TextArea so
the prompt is genuinely multi-line: soft-wrap is on, the field grows with content
(height auto, min 3, max 12, then internal scroll), and Enter no longer collides
with newline insertion.
_PromptInput(TextArea) intercepts keys in _on_key before TextArea's own handler
(which maps enter -> "\n"):
- Enter -> submit: post UserSubmitted(text), then clear the field.
- Ctrl+Enter -> insert a hard line break.
Dropped dead set_prompt_char (referenced a non-existent self._prompt) and the
on_input_* handlers (submit now lives in the subclass). CSS selectors updated
from Input to TextArea. Placeholder notes the keybindings.
Tests: _input.value -> _input.text across the TUI suites; added Ctrl+Enter
inserts a newline without submitting, Enter submits the full multi-line buffer
(newlines preserved) and clears the field, and the input height grows with
content. 577 passed, 1 skipped.

Navi Code TUI: fix input box layout, command palette duplicate IDs, status renderer, and WS input loop
...
- clients/terminal/tui/widgets/input_box.py: switch Horizontal to Vertical with width: 100% for Input so it renders and accepts input in real terminals; add refresh on Input.Changed.
- clients/terminal/tui/screens/command_palette.py: remove fixed ListItem IDs to avoid DuplicateIds on fast filter.
- clients/terminal/tui/chat_model.py + renderers/status.py + widgets/chat_panel.py: render backend status events as dim system messages instead of raw dicts.
- clients/terminal/tui/ws_bridge.py: start NaviWebSocketClient.input_loop so enqueued user messages are actually sent to the backend.
- clients/terminal/tui/tui_app.py: focus InputBox synchronously in on_mount so typing works immediately.
- tests/clients/test_tui_app.py: regression test for visible input text.
