## Current Test

[testing complete]

## Tests

### 1. Session persistence across restarts
expected: Start a conversation, exit CLI, and restart. Session continues with contextual message about time elapsed
result: issue
reported: "Welcome back message shows time elapsed but error: 'ConversationState' object has no attribute 'set_conversation_history'"
severity: major

### 2. Session management commands
expected: Type /session to see session info, /clear to start fresh session
result: pass

### 3. Conversation history saving
expected: Messages are automatically saved to ~/.mai/session.json during conversation
result: issue
reported: "There is no session.json"
severity: major

### 4. Large conversation handling
expected: When conversation exceeds 100 messages, older messages are truncated with notification
result: skipped
reason: User chose to skip testing 100 message truncation feature

### 5. Real-time resource monitoring
expected: Resource usage (CPU, RAM, GPU) displays during conversation with color-coded status
result: issue
reported: "not color coded, but there"
severity: minor

### 6. Responsive terminal layout
expected: Resource display adapts to terminal width (full/compact/minimal layouts)
result: pass

### 7. Resource alerts
expected: System shows warnings when resources are constrained (high CPU, low memory)
result: skipped
reason: User chose to skip testing resource constraint warnings

### 8. Graceful degradation without dependencies
expected: CLI works normally even if rich/blessed packages are missing
result: pass
