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.

 - New dashboard feature: add a feature slice and route, use shared schemas and query keys, and treat HTTP as authoritative.
 
 ## Known design pressure
 
 `src/bootstrap.ts` remains a large composition root and the legacy single-runtime path duplicates parts of the multi-account delivery flow. Changes should reduce duplication through small factories/policies without hiding operational state or merging account-owned dependencies into process-global singletons.
+### Learning is derived and revocable
+
+Raw Matrix history remains authoritative. Event attribution, trajectories, decisions, retrieval selections, and evaluation runs are separate projections so attribution fixes and later safety outcomes can revoke examples without rewriting chat history. The retrieval provider is a local interface rather than a dependency on a hosted observability framework; external tools can consume the audit/evaluation seam later without becoming runtime infrastructure.

+
+`dailyLimit` is null by default, which leaves the allowance to the adaptive trust level the verification sweep maintains (2/3/5/8/12 per day at levels 0-4). Setting a whole number between 1 and 50 overrides that in either direction and is enforced verbatim; the trust level continues to be tracked and reported as `adaptiveAllowance` so the earned figure stays visible. Raising the limit above the earned allowance removes the adaptive backoff after a bad comment, so the dashboard says so. It does not affect the removal/shadowban/captcha pause, which is a safety stop rather than a rate control and cannot be disabled by any limit.
+
+A per-community `dailyCap` only distributes the account allowance; caps are not additive and cannot raise the account total.
+
+Community weights feed a new weighted-random pick for each discovered growth thread. The grower queues only one new thread at a time, drains due retries and existing queue work before polling another community, and exposes an account-scoped queue clear that removes only unposted discovered/retryable rows.

+Browsing sessions are configured separately per account through `/api/growth/{accountId}/browsing` and reuse the enabled growth-community list and weights. Sessions default off with a configurable 3–6 selections-per-local-day range and a 60/40 post/comment split, respect quiet hours, and exclude NSFW unless enabled. The daily minimum, daily maximum, and selections per session accept positive whole numbers without a product-imposed upper ceiling; the maximum must not be lower than the minimum. The service derives one stable target inside the configured daily range for each account and local day. The operator also chooses a minimum gap of at least 45 minutes, and the service adds a random delay of up to `jitterMs` on top before persisting the next due time. A scheduled session is capped by the remaining daily target, while a manually requested session bypasses that target and uses the configured session size. `autoVoteEnabled` is a separate, default-off operator setting; it can submit selected upvotes only in running mode when browser dry-run is off. `nextDueAt` is service-owned durable state and cannot be set through the API.

+# Human-led conversation learning
+
+## Purpose
+
+The loop learns from the decision that caused a useful outcome, not merely from the last AI message before it. Manual interventions are first-class evidence because an operator may repair tone, timing, boundaries, or a media invitation before a recipient shares an image.
+
+## Pipeline and gates
+
+```text
+authoritative Matrix timeline
+  -> event attribution (exact > fingerprint > inferred)
+  -> outcome trajectory and causal credit
+  -> identifier-redacted decision examples
+  -> maturity / review / invalidation gates
+  -> account-scoped, quota-controlled retrieval
+  -> shadow audit or injected prompt context
+  -> offline evaluation record
+```
+
+Capture and use are independent. The default configuration captures and audits retrieval in shadow mode, but cannot affect generated replies. Injection requires both `generationEnabled: true` and `shadowMode: false`.
+
+## Attribution and credit
+
+Authoritative Matrix event IDs link openers, automated claims, dashboard manual sends, and exchange-library sends. Fingerprints support legacy backfill only. An unmatched outbound event is human-owned for the automation safety boundary, but inferred learning is held back when exact attribution is required.
+
+Credit classes are:
+
+- `human-created-success`: the human introduced the successful decision.
+- `human-improved-success`: AI attempted the step and the human replaced or improved it.
+- `human-completed-ai-trajectory`: the human intervention helped complete an AI-started exchange without directly making the media ask.
+- `autonomous-success`: the bounded automated policy made the attributed ask.
+- `recipient-initiated-media`: media arrived without an attributed ask.
+- `uncertain`: provenance is insufficient for causal use.
+
+Image receipt does not override a decline, boundary, or upsell outcome. Those outcomes invalidate the trajectory and all derived decisions. Operator exclusion is sticky across re-sync; explicit inclusion can reverse review/exclusion, but cannot resurrect an invalidated safety outcome.
+
+## Retrieval and evaluation
+
+Retrieval stays within the owning account, excludes the current room, filters confidence, prefers the same policy/stage/community, and fills separate human and autonomous quotas. Stored context is bounded and redacted. The generation ledger stores selected decision IDs, mode, policy version, and an optional prompt hash—not prompt text.
+
+`npm run learning:eval -- --db <path> --policy <version>` versions the current eligible dataset and enforces hard gates for leaked identifiers, invalid decision states, and empty outputs. Evaluation is deliberately local and deterministic. More subjective pairwise or model-graded evaluation can be added behind the same saved-run contract.
+
+## Infrastructure and framework boundary
+
+No new Dokploy service is required. SQLite, the existing backend, Matrix synchronization, OpenRouter client, and React dashboard are sufficient. Deployment needs only the normal application image plus a database backup before the migration; it does not require a vector database, queue, object store, or hosted tracing system.
+
+The repository/provider/evaluation interfaces are the framework seams. A hosted platform such as Langfuse or an experiment tool can later receive generation and evaluation records, and DSPy-style optimization or model fine-tuning can consume exported reviewed examples. None is placed in the online reply path until volume, evaluation quality, and operational need justify the extra infrastructure.
+
+## Rollout
+
+1. Deploy with capture enabled, generation disabled, and shadow mode enabled.
+2. Run a full chat sync to backfill authoritative histories.
+3. Review inferred and fingerprint-attributed trajectories in `/learning`. Expanding a row calls `GET /api/learning/trajectories/{id}` and shows the redacted context turns and chosen response behind each decision, so include/exclude is a judgement on visible evidence rather than on metadata alone.
+4. Let examples mature and run the offline evaluation against a backup/non-production copy.
+5. Compare human, autonomous, and recipient-initiated cohorts; do not blend them into the opener strategy metric.
+6. Enable generation while retaining shadow mode to exercise selection/auditing.
+7. Only after review and evaluation, turn shadow mode off for a small account/policy cohort; rollback is setting it true again.
+
+Starting, restarting, deploying, or enabling the live bot remains a separate explicit operational action.

+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. Reddit request pacing, not a tight application poll, remains the primary request limiter.

+## Browsing session flow
+
+After reply handling, response checks, and comment-growth work, an enabled account may run one due browsing session. The durable `next_due_at` gate survives restarts; each completed attempt schedules the next one at the operator's minimum gap plus bounded random jitter, moved past quiet hours when necessary. The session picks one configured growth community by weight, reads its hot listing through the shared Reddit request coordinator, optionally reads typed top-level comments, applies deterministic exclusions, and only then selects up to the configured session size without replacement. Scheduled sessions cannot select beyond the remaining deterministic daily target.
+
+Each terminal selection is recorded as pending in SQLite before its remote write, so an interrupted or uncertain vote is never retried. With the separate automatic-upvote setting enabled, running mode sends authenticated Reddit `api/vote` requests sequentially through the same browser transport and shared coordinator as growth comments, then marks each audit record `submitted` only after Reddit confirms it; safe failures become `failed`. Scan mode and browser dry-run record `simulated` selections; stopped mode performs no discovery or decision work. Reddit 429 responses extend the shared cooldown, while ordinary read failures remain isolated from replies and comment growth. An operator can also run one immediate session for an enabled, running account: it bypasses the due, quiet-hours, and normal daily-target gates, uses the configured session size, preserves content exclusions, and follows the same automatic-upvote and dry-run rules.
+
 ## Reply-first conversation automation
 
 Explicit bot clients can send to a username through `POST /api/v1/messages` or the MCP `send_message_to_user` tool without selecting an account. The selector compares cached conversations case-insensitively and reuses the account that most recently interacted with that recipient. If no conversation exists, it chooses an authenticated running account with no invitation cooldown, preferring the lowest hourly send count. The selected account's normal rate limiter still owns the send. An API reply to an existing conversation marks automation as user-overridden so autonomous replies do not race the external caller.
 
 Each account runtime refreshes recent chats and processes actionable inbound conversations oldest-first before it can accept new outreach. After the initial conservative startup scan, the persisted latest Matrix message event plus the worker's prior-scan watermark is authoritative: a newly observed inbound event newer than the confirmed opener remains actionable even if Matrix's presentation-only unread notification count has already returned to zero. 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.
 
+Every running-mode reply scan also applies the shared deterministic seller/off-platform rules to the complete cached inbound transcript before actionability is calculated. 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. The operator-forced seller scan uses the same deterministic decision before its optional batched AI fallback.
+
 Outgoing Matrix events are attributed against the recorded opener, durable automated-reply fingerprints, and confirmed exchange-library event records. If synchronization observes an unmatched outgoing message, the conversation becomes operator-owned before another reply can be generated. An unmatched outgoing message also supersedes, rather than confirms, a pending automated claim; only the claimed reply text can reconcile that claim as sent.

 - Remote side effects are fail-closed: a send is recorded only after the chat service confirms it; interrupted reply claims reconcile against Matrix history before retrying. A queued reply refreshes Matrix immediately before sending and becomes an auditable superseded claim if a newer inbound event or terminal state appeared while it waited.
 - Dry-run prepares and records decisions but never sends.
 - Operators can see funnel stages, prepared opener and scoring context, blurred source images, account state, rate limits, failures, handoffs, and recent activity rather than inferring success from a process-health check.
+- Operators may replace a prepared opener before it is leased for sending. The edited text still passes the deterministic location/meeting safeguard, loses generated strategy/experiment attribution, and is durably labelled `operator-edited` rather than credited to the model.
 
 ## Candidate policy
 
@@ -30,6 +31,8 @@ Configured subreddits have a source type:
 - `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.

 The snapshot matters: changing configuration later must not silently rewrite the rules for an active conversation. Automation stops for seller/upsell evidence, an image received, a detected boundary, unsafe content, an exhausted turn budget, a repeated media request, or a manual policy.
 
-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. 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.
+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.

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`).

 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 deterministic gate rejects links, contact solicitation, user tags, low-effort filler, and any text that reveals the generator or narrates the task.

+- The daily allowance is adaptive by default: it starts at two comments per day and only rises while comments demonstrably survive and earn upvotes, and a removal or a heavily downvoted comment lowers it immediately. An operator may override the figure per account; doing so replaces the adaptive backoff but not the pause below, and the dashboard states that trade-off where the limit is set.
 - Two consecutive removals, a comment invisible to signed-out visitors, or a captcha challenge pauses the account until an operator clears it. A failed visibility probe proves nothing and never pauses anything.
 - One comment per thread across every owned account, a per-community daily cap, quiet hours, and jittered spacing.
+- Due retries run before untouched queued threads, and any pending retry blocks new discovery until it is resolved or ages out. Discovery queues one thread from a fresh weighted-random community pick, avoiding predictable same-community batches.
 - Reddit's own refusals are authoritative: a community ban disables that community for that account, a throttle backs off at the scope Reddit named, and a signed-out response invalidates the session rather than being retried.
 - Growth deliberately continues while an account is held out of outbound messaging, because building the history is what lifts that hold. It is always the lowest-priority work an account performs, after inbound replies.
 - Dry run prepares and records a comment but never posts it. Every posted comment, and every comment refused by either gate, is kept with its reason in the growth audit trail.
 
+Browsing sessions are a separate, disabled-by-default account-growth experiment. They select a conservative number of eligible posts or comments from the same configured communities. The per-account automatic-upvote switch is separately disabled by default; when enabled, a selected item is upvoted through the account's authenticated browser session only in running mode and outside browser dry-run. Owned-account content, outreach recipients, cross-account duplicates, growth-comment threads, promotion experiments, moderator content, closed or removed threads, old or low-context items, and NSFW content unless explicitly allowed are excluded before randomness is applied. Every selection records whether the vote is simulated, pending, submitted, or failed, and browsing never affects the adaptive comment-growth trust level.

 ## Operator exchange media
 
 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.

+### Human-led conversation learning
+
+A received image is an outcome, not proof that the preceding AI action caused it. The learning loop therefore attributes every Matrix event before extracting an example and gives manual interventions their own credit classes: human-created, human-improved, and human-completed AI trajectories. Autonomous and recipient-initiated outcomes remain separate comparison cohorts.
+
+Only privacy-redacted decision context is retained as learning material. Media bytes, private attachment paths, raw prompts, usernames, URLs, email addresses, and phone numbers are not copied into examples. Exact Matrix event IDs are preferred; fingerprint or inferred histories are held for review according to `learning.minimumAttributionConfidence`.
+
+Examples mature only after the configured delay. Later declines, boundaries, or upsell classifications revoke the trajectory. An operator can explicitly include or exclude a trajectory in **Learning review**. Generation use is independently gated and defaults to capture-only shadow mode, so collecting evidence cannot silently change live replies.
