On iOS, the reactions sheet (long-press a reaction pill) could show a custom emoji as truncated `:shortcode:` text, for example `:eye…`, even though the same emoji rendered as an image on the message pill a moment before. The sheet is a native UIKit view that downloaded each custom emoji again with its own `URLSession` request and showed the shortcode label until that download finished, and for good when it failed. A shortcode is illegible in a chip that size. Now: - Flutter keeps the encoded bytes of custom emoji it has downloaded (a bounded LRU: 512 KiB per emoji, 8 MiB total, rebuilt when the media auth scope changes so accounts never share bytes) and hands them to the sheet, which decodes them without a fetch. Emoji the timeline never loaded still download natively as before. - A custom emoji in the sheet never shows its shortcode: it stays blank while loading and shows the sparkles icon, matching the native emoji picker, if the image cannot load. Reaction pills in Flutter get the same sparkles fallback. Inline emoji in message text keep the shortcode fallback, where it reads as text. Avatars in the sheet keep their initial. ### Before / after Reactions sheet header and chips right after opening, on a message with two custom-emoji reactions (synthetic test channel, captured from a 30 fps screen recording). | Before (main) | After (this branch) | | --- | --- | | <img width="300" alt="Before: custom emoji chips show truncated :qa-... shortcodes" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/593e555b-9c82-4eec-9049-3d909f987c76"> | <img width="300" alt="After: custom emoji chips show images" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a6739997-b39f-4062-9e5c-d22a8a38b368"> | ### Validation - Added tests: the native sheet's payload carries the bytes the pill already downloaded; the combined reaction tray shows sparkles, not the shortcode, when a custom emoji fails to load (the existing alignment test previously asserted the shortcode). - Full mobile suite and `just mobile-check` pass; the iOS simulator build compiles. - Automated simulator run (iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 27, main vs this branch, signed in to a test community): channel list, opening a channel, the message action sheet, the emoji picker, and the reactions sheet on a message carrying two custom emoji I added plus a thumbs-up. On main the sheet's custom-emoji chips show truncated `:qa-...` shortcodes for a few frames before the images arrive; on this branch they render as images from the first frame (see Before / after). Limitations: the emoji images load fine over the network in this setup, so the failed-download sparkles fallback was covered by tests only, not seen in the app; a long press on the combined reaction tray opened the message menu in the simulator, a tap opened the sheet. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Signed-off-by: Tom Brow <tomb@squareup.com> Co-authored-by: Tom Brow <tomb@squareup.com> Co-authored-by: studio <dc2fc481343672df31a689840c09299972e704dac592e0da6f18486646a7ee3e@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
