The CreditBalance component in the sidebar footer shows '$X.XX' and 'N credits' without any indication of what credits are used for, whether the balance is low, or a quick path to top up. Users on low balances have no warning — they must navigate to Settings → Credits to discover their balance is about to hit zero and agents will stop running. There's also no visual indicator of balance health (low/medium/high).
Category: usability File: src/components/credit-balance.tsx Recommendation: Add a low-balance warning state (e.g., amber coloring + 'Low' badge when under a threshold like $5). Make the entire CreditBalance widget clickable, linking to /dashboard/settings?tab=credits. This is a critical signal — running out of credits silently stops the entire autonomous pipeline.
