Subject: [PATCH] agent links: swap config's gear icon for a wrench
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

mara, on PR#3765: "follow up: the gear looks broken in browser too" —
bare gear (dropped the variation selector already, per argus's earlier
review) still doesn't render as color emoji in her font. Same failure
icons.tsx already documents for this exact codepoint. Landed on the
wrench instead: a supplementary-plane pictograph with
Emoji_Presentation=Yes, same category as the other three built-in
icons this thread already fixed (stats/screen/forge/dashboard), so it
doesn't need a variation selector to render as color emoji at all.
