Agent identity emoji not displayed in webchat conversation icon

[elinx]

Description

I configured the agent identity with an emoji in openclaw.json:

agents config:

"agents": {
  "list": [
    {
      "id": "main",
      "identity": {
        "name": "Agent",
        "emoji": "🐟"
      }
    }
  ]
}

The emoji works for mention patterns (e.g., @agent triggers the agent), but the webchat conversation icon does not display the emoji.

Questions

1. Does webchat frontend support reading and displaying identity.emoji as the agent avatar/icon?
2. If supported, is my configuration location correct?
3. If not supported, is there a plan to add this feature?
