## Why
The agent avatar picker disables Emoji Mart search, making emojis
difficult to find when creating or editing an agent.
## What
- Enable sticky search in the shared agent avatar picker
- Focus the search field when the Emoji tab opens
- Add end-to-end coverage for search, focus, and selection
## Risk Assessment
Low — this is limited to the desktop agent avatar picker and does not
change avatar persistence or agent configuration.
