Selecting an emoji (or any unsaved edit) in the profile Status Message
field could vanish because the presence-sync effect re-applied the remote
status_msg on every presence heartbeat (which fire every few seconds).
The dirty-edit guard alone left a window where a heartbeat carrying the
previous status overwrote the just-inserted emoji, so there was no way to
add emoji to a status.
Track the last remote status we synced and only react when the remote
value actually changes, instead of on every heartbeat. Repeated
heartbeats with an unchanged status are now ignored, so an unsaved local
edit is preserved regardless of the dirty flag's timing. Cross-device
status changes (a genuinely new remote value) and clears still sync, and
the pending-applied stale-echo guard is unaffected.
