 ## [Unreleased]
 
+- **TUI preset cycling keybinding corrected to ctrl+tab and persona tab-cycling added** (#9358): Changed the argument preset cycling shortcut from ``ctrl+t`` to ``ctrl+tab`` to avoid conflicts with terminal session managers that also use ``ctrl+t`` for alternate file sender. Added a new ``tab`` binding to cycle through available personas in the registry, automatically resetting the preset to ``default`` when switching personas. Help panel now reflects both keybindings under Main Screen context.

 - Fixed `ReactiveEventBus.emit()` exception handler to log the full exception
   message (`str(exc)`) and enable traceback forwarding (`exc_info=True`).
   Previously the handler logged only the exception type name (e.g.
