+# Planner Mode UI Output Fixes
+
+## Phase 1: Read and Understand Current Code
+- [x] Read crates/g3-planner/src/llm.rs
+- [x] Read crates/g3-planner/src/planner.rs  
+- [x] Read crates/g3-core/src/lib.rs (logs directory function)
+
+## Phase 2: Fix Tool Call Display (Single Line Output)
+- [x] Modify `PlannerUiWriter::print_tool_header()` in crates/g3-planner/src/llm.rs
+  - [x] Change implementation to use proper single-line formatting
+  - [x] Truncate args at char boundary (use char_indices)
+  - [x] Use `println!` with explicit single line format
+  - [x] Add flush after output
+  - [x] Fix import for std::io::Write
+
+## Phase 3: Fix LLM Text Response Display
+- [x] Modify `PlannerUiWriter::print_agent_response()` in crates/g3-planner/src/llm.rs
+  - [x] Change from `println!()` to `print!()` to avoid extra newlines
+  - [x] Keep the flush for real-time display
+  - [x] Ensure no carriage returns or status line clearing
+
+## Phase 4: Fix Logs Directory Location
+- [x] Debug where logs are actually being written
+  - [x] Add debug prints to verify G3_WORKSPACE_PATH is set
+  - [x] Add debug prints in get_logs_dir() to show what path is returned
+  - [x] Build succeeded - compilation verified
+
+## Phase 5: Testing Instructions
+The code has been successfully modified and compiled. To test:
+
+1. **Test tool call display:**
+   ```bash
+   cd /tmp
+   g3 --planning --codepath ~/RustroverProjects/g3
+   ```
+   - Verify tool calls appear on single lines like:
+     `🔧 [1] read_file  {"file_path":"/path/to/file"}`
+   - Verify NO extra blank lines between tool calls
+
+2. **Test LLM text response:**
+   - Verify LLM explanatory text appears as contiguous, readable text
+   - Verify no text is overwritten or mangled
+
+3. **Test logs directory:**
+   - Run: `rm -rf ~/RustroverProjects/g3/logs/*.log ~/RustroverProjects/g3/logs/*.txt`
+   - Run: `cd /tmp && g3 --planning --codepath ~/RustroverProjects/g3`
+   - Check debug output shows: `🔍 DEBUG: Set G3_WORKSPACE_PATH to: ...`
+   - Check: `ls ~/RustroverProjects/g3/logs/` - should contain log files
+   - Check: `ls /tmp/logs/` - should NOT exist or be empty
+
+4. **After testing succeeds:**
+   - Remove debug print statements from:
+     - crates/g3-planner/src/planner.rs (2 debug prints)
+     - crates/g3-core/src/lib.rs (2 debug prints in get_logs_dir)
+   - Rebuild: `cargo build --release`
+
+## Summary of Changes
+
+### Files Modified:
+1. **crates/g3-planner/src/llm.rs**
+   - Fixed `print_tool_header()`: Uses char_indices for safe truncation, always shows args
+   - Fixed `print_agent_response()`: Changed to `print!()` instead of `println!()`
+   - Added `use std::io::Write;` import
+
+2. **crates/g3-planner/src/planner.rs**
+   - Added debug prints to verify G3_WORKSPACE_PATH is set (temporary)
+
+3. **crates/g3-core/src/lib.rs**
+   - Added debug prints to get_logs_dir() (temporary)
