The status-message emoji picker listed the guild's custom/image-pack emojis, but clicking one did nothing — the field only wires onEmojiSelect (unicode), not onCustomEmojiSelect, so custom picks were silently dropped (the room composer works because it wires both). A custom emoji is an mxc image and a status is plain-text presence status_msg, so it can't render there anyway. Add an EmojiBoard hideCustomEmojis (unicode-only) mode that zeroes the image packs (removing pack groups, sidebar icons, and search results) and filters custom entries out of Recent, and enable it on the status field. Now every emoji shown actually inserts. Additive prop, default off — no change to other pickers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
