# Story 290: Remove agent thinking traces from agents sidebar

## User Story

As a user viewing an expanded work item in the web UI, I want to see the live agent output stream (thinking traces, tool calls, progress) for the agent working on that story, so that I can monitor progress in context rather than in the agents sidebar.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Agent thinking traces are removed from the agents sidebar panel — they should only appear in the work item detail panel (which already has SSE streaming wired up in `WorkItemDetailPanel.tsx`)

## Notes

The detail panel (`WorkItemDetailPanel.tsx`) already has agent log streaming implemented — SSE subscription, real-time output, status badges, etc. The only remaining work is removing the thinking traces from the agents sidebar (`AgentPanel.tsx` or similar) so they don't appear in both places.

## Out of Scope

- Replacing the agents sidebar entirely — it still shows agent names, status, and assignments
- Historical agent output (only live stream while agent is running)
