Bug 4: Run Button Does Not Start Agent

Symptom

Clicking the "Run" button in the AgentPanel does not visibly start an agent. No feedback is shown to the user.

Root Cause

When multiple agents are configured in project.toml (e.g. supervisor, coder-1, coder-2), handleRunClick shows a role-selector dropdown instead of starting an agent directly. The dropdown may not be visible due to layout/positioning issues, or the click handler may be swallowed.

Reproduction Steps

1. Start the server and open the web UI
2. Expand a story in the Agent panel
3. Click the "Run" button
4. Observe: nothing visible happens (no agent starts, no dropdown appears)

Proposed Fix

Investigate whether the role-selector dropdown is rendering but hidden (z-index, overflow, positioning), or whether the click event is not reaching handleRunClick. If the dropdown is the issue, consider starting the default agent directly and offering role selection separately.
