fix(shared): truncate keeps emoji whole#27841
Problem
truncate used String.prototype.slice, which counts UTF-16 code units. An odd maxLength on emoji text (for example truncate("👍👍👍", 5)) split a surrogate pair and left a broken character in titles and work-log labels.
Change
Measure and cut by Unicode code point with Array.from.
Scope and approval
Obvious shared-util logic bug. Same call sites; only the cut boundary changes for non-BMP text.
Verification
- New
String.test.tscovers short text, emoji cuts, and trim-before-measure. vp test run packages/shared/src/String.test.ts— 3 passed.

Approvability
Verdict: Approved at 4c89387
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Truncation now counts Unicode code points, preventing individual emoji surrogate pairs from being split in titles and previews. Existing limits and formatting remain unchanged, with limited presentation-level risk.

Avoid allocating an array for the entire prompt.
For a multi-megabyte prompt, Array.from allocates one entry per code point, although the default limit needs only 51. deriveThreadTitleSeed passes the normalized prompt to this helper, so title generation can incur large transient allocations. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Iterate only far enough to find the truncation boundary. As per coding guidelines, “Make sure all changes are considerate of performance impact.”

Not verified
Native iOS/Android work-log labels and Electron shell behavior were not exercised on this Linux web run. Other providers, attachment-title fallbacks, and plan implementation titles were not exercised. This fix counts code points; full grapheme-cluster preservation for joined emoji and modifiers is outside the verified behavior. Large-prompt allocation performance was not measured.
