Bug Report

Feature Area: TUI Interface — Persona System (ADR-045)

What Was Tested

PersonaState in src/cleveragents/tui/persona/state.py and app.py BINDINGS.

Expected Behavior (from spec ADR-045)

The spec requires:

"The tab key in the main chat prompt cycles through personas in the user's configured cycle list"
"tab: persona_1 → persona_2 → persona_3 → persona_1 → ..."

The tab key should cycle through all personas with cycle_order > 0, sorted by cycle_order.

Actual Behavior

PersonaState has cycle_preset() (for ctrl+tab preset cycling) but has no cycle_persona() method for tab persona cycling.

In app.py, the BINDINGS only define:

BINDINGS = [
    ("ctrl+q", "quit", "Quit"),
    ("f1", "help", "Help"),
    ("ctrl+t", "cycle_preset", "Cycle Preset"),
]

There is no ("tab", "cycle_persona", "Cycle Persona") binding. The tab key is not bound to any persona cycling action.

Additionally, PersonaState has no method to enumerate personas in cycle_order sequence — list_personas() is on the registry but there's no sorted-by-cycle-order iteration in PersonaState.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/tui/persona/state.py — missing cycle_persona() method
src/cleveragents/tui/app.py — missing ("tab", "action_cycle_persona", "Persona") binding

Steps to Reproduce

Configure two personas with cycle_order: 1 and cycle_order: 2
Launch TUI
Press tab in the prompt
Observe: no persona cycling occurs (tab likely moves focus between widgets)

Impact

Users cannot switch between personas using the keyboard. The core multi-persona workflow described in ADR-045 is non-functional.
