- Status transitions on consensus
- Turn pipeline configuration in templates

---

### Phase 4: User Interfaces - COMPLETE

Both GUI and TUI implemented and working.

| Interface | Status | Framework | Notes |

| GUI | Complete | Dear PyGui | Native image viewing, tabs |
| TUI | Complete | urwid | ASCII diagrams, SSH-friendly |

**GUI Features:**
- Native PlantUML diagram rendering
- Split-pane diagram viewer (source + preview)
- Tabbed interface for discussions, diagrams, output
- Keyboard shortcuts (Q, R, T, C, D)

**TUI Features:**

## What's Working

- Creating and loading discussion files
- Parsing markers (VOTE, Q, TODO, DECISION, CONCERN, DIAGRAM)
- Running turns with multiple AI participants
- Parallel participant execution
- Voting and consensus calculation
- Phase-aware participant behavior
- Status promotion on consensus
- Human comment addition with votes
- Participant discovery from ~/.smarttools/
- Both GUI and TUI interfaces
- PlantUML diagram viewing

---

## Known Limitations

1. **Automatic phase advancement** - Phase must be advanced manually with `--phase` flag
2. **PyPI package** - Not yet published, install from source
3. **Streaming responses** - Responses collected after completion, not streamed
4. **Provider locking** - No rate limiting for concurrent AI calls

---

## Future Enhancements

### Additional Participants
- `discussion-perfectionist` - Code quality focus
- `discussion-designer` - UX perspective
- `discussion-researcher` - Web research (non-voting)
- `discussion-visualizer` - Advanced diagram generation

### Additional Templates
- `code-review.yaml` - Code review workflow
- `adr.yaml` - Architecture Decision Record workflow

### Features
- Automatic phase transitions based on conditions
- Summary file generation (.sum.md)
- Project-level configuration (discussions.yaml)
- Provider rate limiting and fallbacks
- Response streaming in TUI

---

## Testing

### Run Unit Tests
```bash
pytest tests/
pytest tests/test_markers.py -v
pytest tests/test_voting.py -v
```

### Run Integration Tests
```bash
# Test SmartTools directly
cat examples/brainstorm_notification_system.md | discussion-parser | jq .

# Test full pipeline
./scripts/run-turn.sh examples/feature_discussion.md
```

### Manual Testing
```bash
# Create and run a discussion
discussions new "Test Feature" --template feature
discussions turn test-feature.md @architect @pragmatist
discussions status test-feature.md
discussions comment test-feature.md "Looks good" --vote ready
discussions ui
```
