Allow sending emojis in the chat

Add an emoji picker to the dashboard reply composer and let generated
replies use emoji.

The picker offers a short hand-picked set rather than a full Unicode
index, and inserts at the caret so the operator can keep typing without
reaching for the mouse again. Insertion respects the Reddit length cap.

The chat reply system prompt now permits at most one or two emoji per
message, only where someone texting casually would use one. Scoped to
ongoing replies — openers build from configurable prompts, so hardcoding
guidance there would fight the operator's own settings.

+The discovery loop rotates through enabled subreddits and authenticated runtimes. A runtime fetches Reddit `/new` data using the process-shared `RedditRequestCoordinator`. In the default `post-author` targeting mode those posts enter intake directly. An image subreddit configured for `comment-author` instead reads top-level comments from at most five newly listed posts, batches previously unseen eligible comment text through the reaction classifier, and creates candidates only for role-alignment verdicts at or above 0.8 confidence. A bounded in-process cache prevents unchanged comments from repeatedly consuming model calls. The candidate ID, author, timestamp, and permalink come from the comment while the original post image and title remain attached as preparation context; the usual image screen later verifies the depicted gender against `reddit.targetGenders`. Intake then deduplicates candidate IDs and authors, excludes processed/contacted history, stores the full snapshot, source type, weight, and timestamps, and logs exact intake counts.
 
 The queue grows to a demand-based target rather than a fixed backlog. The target is the smaller of configured `reddit.maxReadyCandidates` and the work that authenticated running accounts can still send within the recent-post window, accounting for rolling hourly capacity and minimum message spacing. Intake admits only the current deficit, newest Reddit posts first, pauses at zero outbound capacity, and reports fetched posts left unevaluated because the funnel is full.

On startup, read-marked rooms without a pending reply claim are not revived. Durable event claims, conversation policy state, and a later outbound event prevent duplicate replies.

This retrospective pass catches Telegram, Snapchat, other contact-platform pushes, payment requests, verification scams, paid-content funnels, and configured seller evidence that arrived before a restart or after an operator took ownership. It uses an in-process transcript watermark, spends no classifier tokens, persists the seller/terminal state, and moves killed conversations to Done. Scan mode remains non-mutating.

 - `image`: image-led posts are downloaded and analyzed before an opener is generated.
 - `chat`: text-led posts require a parseable self-declared gender and adult age, then use the chat-opener prompt.
 
+Image subreddits may separately target either the post author (the default) or a qualifying commenter. Comment-author targeting scans a bounded set of top-level comments on newly listed image posts and uses a fail-closed AI classification. A comment qualifies only when it personally expresses a desire to experience or take the depicted role and confidence is at least 0.8. The normal image screen then verifies that the depicted role matches `reddit.targetGenders`. This is an interpretation of role alignment in the public comment, not a claim about the author's actual gender or identity. Generic praise, ambiguous reactions, deleted/moderator comments, and the post author's own comments do not qualify. The original image remains the preparation context, but generated openers are explicitly told that the recipient is a commenter and is not necessarily depicted.
+
 Image analysis may produce a subjective 1–10 visible-physique score. It is not a medical assessment and remains unknown when the image does not show enough of the body for a grounded judgment. The scale is deliberately critical: 5 is broadly average, 6 requires visible above-average leanness or definition, and 8–10 are reserved for rare athletic or model-like physiques. Nudity and photographic presentation do not increase the score. Physique targeting is disabled by default. When an operator enables an inclusive minimum/maximum range, image candidates outside that range—and unscorable image candidates—are rejected before opener generation; chat candidates are unaffected.
 
 Seller filtering combines the candidate post with Reddit profile/about, structured social links when Reddit exposes them, and recent activity evidence. Because Reddit's legacy profile response can omit a social-link button that is visible in its UI, an NSFW bio is also rejected when it combines an explicit link call-to-action with a promise of more or exclusive personal content. The default policy treats Telegram names and links as seller signals alongside paid-content platforms and payment prompts. The configured keyword/domain lists are policy inputs, not a substitute for the surrounding screening flow. A profile lookup failure is not itself proof that a person is a seller; network and rate-limit failures must remain distinguishable from a rejection.

-Two of those stops are terminal rather than handoffs. A reply that pushes the conversation onto another messaging app, asks for contact details, solicits payment, points at a paid-content funnel, or runs the age/bot "verification" scam sets the automation status to `killed`, marks the durable seller flag, and resolves the operator's triage state, so the conversation leaves every actionable queue instead of collecting in the manual one.

Ambiguous terms need context: `snap` on its own is a photo request in this product and never a kill on its own. Off-platform kills are a safety control and stay on independently of `reddit.filterSellers`; a configured seller keyword or domain also kills unless `conversations.killOnSellerKeyword` is disabled. Under-18 disclosures and in-person/contact-detail asks remain human handoffs, and now apply to every policy mode rather than the R4R ones only.
+Within those boundaries, R4R replies are expected to participate naturally in consensual adult NSFW conversation instead of moralizing, declining the topic, or diverting ordinary flirting into generic small talk. In-character soft refusals are treated like provider refusals and fall through to the next configured chat model. This does not weaken recipient boundaries, the under-18 handoff, seller/off-platform controls, location and meeting prohibitions, or the separate media-request rules.

+Two of those stops are terminal rather than handoffs. A reply that pushes the conversation onto another messaging app, asks for contact details, solicits payment, points at a paid-content funnel, or runs the age/bot "verification" scam sets the automation status to `killed`, marks the durable seller flag, and resolves the operator's triage state, so the conversation leaves every actionable queue instead of collecting in the manual one. The same deterministic decision runs against cached inbound history during each running-mode reply scan and during the operator-forced seller scan, including conversations that are too old to revive for an automated reply or have already become operator-owned. Detection normalizes the text first — unicode folding, zero-width stripping, leet mapping, separator removal — because these words are routinely obfuscated (`0nlyfans`, `t3l3gram`, `t e l e g r a m`). Ambiguous terms need context: `snap` on its own is a photo request in this product and never a kill on its own. Off-platform kills are a safety control and stay on independently of `reddit.filterSellers`; a configured seller keyword or domain also kills unless `conversations.killOnSellerKeyword` is disabled. Under-18 disclosures and in-person/contact-detail asks remain human handoffs, and now apply to every policy mode rather than the R4R ones only.
 
 Optional second-stage AI screening (`conversations.aiReplyScreening`) runs only when the deterministic rules come up clean, classifies the inbound side of the conversation as genuine, seller, off-platform, scam, bot, or unclear, and kills at or above `killConfidence` while handing off at or above `flagConfidence`. It fails open: a classifier error or outage never blocks a reply, and each inbound event is screened at most once per process. Short refusals are interpreted in sequence: phrases such as “I’m good” become media boundaries only when they answer a media request.

 The exchange library contains only operator-uploaded images. Upload requires confirmation that every depicted adult consented to storage and bot delivery. Received conversation media is account-owned evidence and can never be promoted into this shared library.
 
-The bot may continue to ask another person for an optional photo under the configured conversation policy, but it must never mention, advertise, or offer an exchange-library image proactively. A library send requires a direct or indirect inbound image request. Exact anatomy requests match the operator-reviewed tags `penis`, `chest`, `selfie`, `topless`, or `feet`; the bot does not substitute a different anatomy when a match is unavailable.
+The bot may continue to ask another person for an optional photo under the configured conversation policy. During ordinary adult conversation it may also make a low-pressure generic offer to share one of its own approved saved pictures, but it must not promise a particular image or anatomy. A clear acceptance of that immediately preceding offer counts as a generic inbound request; otherwise a library send still requires a direct or indirect inbound image request. Every automated send remains subject to the existing inventory, safety-tier, deduplication, boundary, seller, and send-time checks. Exact anatomy requests match the operator-reviewed tags `penis`, `chest`, `selfie`, `topless`, or `feet`; the bot does not substitute a different anatomy when a match is unavailable.
 
 Nonspecific requests broaden progressively within one conversation. The first selects a random unused SFW asset, a later request may include topless/NSFW assets, and further requests may select from the full library. An asset is never selected twice in the same conversation, including after an uncertain send. After Matrix confirms the image event, the bot asks the other person to reciprocate without pressure. Missing inventory, failed delivery, changed conversation state, or an unconfirmed reciprocal message becomes an operator handoff.
