# Implementation Plan: Context Preview & Slice Editor Fixes
## Phase 1: Fix Context Preview Button
Focus: Synchronize `App.context_files` to `AppController.context_files` before calling `_do_generate()` and add empty-state handling.
- [ ] Task 1.1: Audit where AppController.context_files gets assigned vs App.context_files (gui_2.py vs app_controller.py)
- [ ] Task 1.2: Add `_sync_context_files_to_controller` method or inline sync in Preview button handler (gui_2.py:2839-2841)
- [ ] Task 1.3: Add empty-state guard - if context_files is empty, set `app.context_preview_text = "# Context Composition Empty\n\nNo files have been added to the context composition yet."`
- [ ] Task 1.N: Write tests for Preview button behavior with empty and populated context
- [ ] Task 1.X: Conductor - User Manual Verification
## Phase 2: Fix Slices Button (Text Viewer Window)
Focus: Add `render_text_viewer_window` call to the render loop so Slices button properly opens the Text Viewer.
- [ ] Task 2.1: Find where `render_text_viewer_window` should be called in render loop (currently defined but never invoked)
- [ ] Task 2.2: Add `render_text_viewer_window(app)` to render_context_modals or main render loop (gui_2.py:5275+ or after line 1238)
- [ ] Task 2.3: Verify Slices button at gui_2.py:3148-3158 sets all required state (`show_text_viewer`, `text_viewer_content`, `text_viewer_title`, `text_viewer_type`)
- [ ] Task 2.N: Write tests for Slices button opening Text Viewer
- [ ] Task 2.X: Conductor - User Manual Verification
## Phase 3: Fix Inspect Button (AST Inspector Modal)
Focus: Verify `render_ast_inspector_modal` is called correctly and integrates with the popup pattern.
- [ ] Task 3.1: Audit `render_ast_inspector_modal` popup pattern (gui_2.py:2900-3036) vs `_render_window_if_open` patterns
- [ ] Task 3.2: Ensure `render_ast_inspector_modal(app)` is called in `render_context_modals` and uses correct popup lifecycle
- [ ] Task 3.3: Test Inspect button with a .cpp file to verify AST tree renders
- [ ] Task 3.N: Write tests for Inspect button opening AST Inspector modal
- [ ] Task 3.X: Conductor - User Manual Verification
## Phase 4: Integration & Regression Testing
Focus: Ensure all three buttons work in concert and no regressions in context composition panel.
- [ ] Task 4.1: Run existing context composition tests to verify no regressions
- [ ] Task 4.2: Verify batch operations (Full/Summary/Skeleton/Outline/Masked/None) still work
- [ ] Task 4.3: Verify Add Files, Del buttons still work
- [ ] Task 4.4: Full render test suite (batch of 4)
- [ ] Task 4.X: Conductor - User Manual Verification

# Track Specification: Context Preview & Slice Editor Fixes
## Overview
Fix critical failures in the context composition feature: Preview button generates no content, and Inspect/Slices buttons fail to open their respective editor panels.
## Current State Audit (as of 7f40630)
### Already Implemented (DO NOT re-implement)
1. **Context Preview Window** (`gui_2.py:5308-5320`): `render_context_preview_window` function exists and renders markdown via `markdown_helper.render(app.context_preview_text, context_id="ctx_preview")`. The window is opened via `app._render_window_if_open("Context Preview", lambda: render_context_preview_window(app))` at line 1238.
2. **Context Batch Actions with Preview** (`gui_2.py:2805-2843`): `render_context_batch_actions` contains the Preview button at line 2839:
```python
if imgui.button("Preview##ctx"):
app.context_preview_text = app.controller._do_generate()[0]
app.show_windows["Context Preview"] = True
```
3. **AST Inspector Modal** (`gui_2.py:2900-3036`): `render_ast_inspector_modal` exists with dual-pane layout (tree + content). Triggered via `app._show_ast_inspector = True` and `app.ui_inspecting_ast_file = f_item` set in `render_context_files_table` at lines 3145-3146.
4. **Text Viewer Window** (`gui_2.py:4077-4145`): `render_text_viewer_window` function exists with syntax highlighting via `ImGuiColorTextEdit`. Triggered via `app.show_text_viewer = True` and content set via `app.text_viewer_content`, `app.text_viewer_title`, `app.text_viewer_type`.
5. **Context Files Table** (`gui_2.py:3090-3198`): `render_context_files_table` with Inspect and Slices buttons at lines 3143-3158.
6. **AppController._do_generate** (`app_controller.py:3433-3468`): Returns `(full_md, path, file_items, stable_md, discussion_text)`. Used by Preview button at `gui_2.py:2840`.
7. **render_context_modals** (`gui_2.py:5275-5306`): Calls `render_add_context_files_modal`, `render_ast_inspector_modal`.
### Gaps to Fill (This Track's Scope)
1. **Gap 1**: The Preview button at `gui_2.py:2840` calls `app.controller._do_generate()[0]` but `AppController` at line 991 shows `self.context_files: List[models.FileItem] = []`. The controller's `context_files` is NEVER synchronized with `App.context_files` from `gui_2.py`. The Preview therefore shows empty content.
2. **Gap 2**: `render_context_modals` at line 5275 calls `render_ast_inspector_modal` but **never actually calls** `render_text_viewer_window`. The Slices button sets `app.show_text_viewer = True` and populates `app.text_viewer_content`, but `render_text_viewer_window` is NOT invoked in the main render loop.
3. **Gap 3**: `render_ast_inspector_modal` uses `app._show_ast_inspector` flag and `imgui.open_popup` pattern, but this is not integrated into `render_context_modals` properly (modal rendering may conflict with window rendering timing).
## Goals
- Fix Preview button to show actual aggregated context content from context_files
- Fix Inspect button to open AST Inspector modal properly
- Fix Slices button to open Text Viewer window with file content
## Functional Requirements
1. **Synchronize context_files between App and AppController**: The Preview button calls `app.controller._do_generate()` which reads `self.context_files` (controller's empty list). Must sync `App.context_files` → `AppController.context_files` before calling `_do_generate()`.
2. **Add Text Viewer Window to render loop**: `render_text_viewer_window(app)` must be called in the main render loop (after line 1238 or in `render_context_modals`).
3. **Fix AST Inspector modal integration**: Ensure `render_ast_inspector_modal` is properly called in `render_context_modals` and uses correct popup pattern.
4. **Add defensive empty-state handling**: If `context_files` is empty, Preview should show "No files in context composition" message.

- docs/guide_architecture.md#render-loop - Main render loop structure
- docs/guide_architecture.md#modal-patterns - Modal and window rendering patterns
- docs/guide_tools.md#mcp-bridge - Tool execution flow
## Out of Scope
- Changes to aggregation logic (only fixing invocation, not the aggregation itself)
- Changes to the FileItem model structure
- Changes to view_mode handling (only fixing the buttons that trigger editors)
