The profile was a duplicate on every axis we could measure. 22 of its 26
native tools were already developer's; the four it alone held —
reload_tools, create_mcp_server, test_mcp_tool, mcp_status — are 2.9 KB of
schema. Its model chain was the same seven models. Of its 14 KB prompt,
about 8 KB was copied verbatim from developer's (the whole `## Orchestration
model` block and everything from `## Editing policy` down), and most of the
remainder restated manuals/create_mcp_server.md, which already carried the
same ten-step workflow in more detail. It was not a specialisation, it was a
snapshot: `git log -S '"reload_tools"'` shows the tool lived in developer
until 61fa370 rewrote that profile around MCP and cut it off.

What kept it alive was a premise that no longer holds — that Navi's own
capabilities would be written as in-repo tools. They are MCP servers now,
and an MCP server is not a file in this repository with a life of its own:
it is an isolated process registered from mcp_servers.d/. So there is no
reason left for a profile whose only distinct feature is a toolset a general
developer profile can hold, and every reason to stop maintaining a second
prompt that drifts against the first.

- developer: + reload_tools, create_mcp_server, test_mcp_tool, mcp_status
  (24 → 28 native). Its sub-agent gains tool_manual, which is what it
  actually needed to reach the manual while writing a server — the previous
  tool_developer sub-agent had it, developer's did not.
- server_admin: + reload_tools only (24 → 25). Adding a third-party MCP
  server is something this profile does as often as developer does.
  Deliberately not to its sub-agent: reconnecting the MCP manager is a
  process-wide operation belonging to the main agent.
- The prompt and the manual took on what the deleted profile knew and
  create_mcp_server.md did not: reload_tools before the first test_mcp_tool
  (a freshly registered server is not connected, so the test fails and the
  iteration is wasted), the smoke test read by exit code — 124 means timeout
  killed a server still running, 0 means it exited on its own, usually a
  main() without parentheses — absolute command/cwd, mcp_status as discovery
  only, and the steps that stay inline instead of going to a sub-agent.

mcp_status and test_mcp_tool were built without an MCP manager, and their
fallback did `from navi.api.deps import _mcp_manager` — a name that does not
exist, so a live call raised ImportError rather than the intended "MCP
manager not available". The tools always passed a manager in tests, which is
why nothing caught it. Both now receive the manager at construction and fall
back to the live one lazily.

Sessions and profile_overrides are reassigned before the restart: agent.py
resolves the session's profile without a guard, so a deleted profile turns
every session that referenced it into an uncaught ProfileNotFound. Nothing
in the test suite pins the profile inventory, and profiles are read once at
import time — reload_tools does not re-read them — so this ships as a
restart, and the restart is also what makes it take effect.

- documentTitle: persistent nameById map — names for sessions beyond the
  loaded list page (list only holds ~30); map filled by fetches and
  loadSession meta, never wiped by later refetches
- createSession: placeholder inserted at the position the server list
  would give it (after pinned run, last_active desc) so refetch no
  longer visibly moves the new row
- SessionItem: skip empty .session-icons wrapper when no icons
- drawer breakpoint made exclusive (-sidebar-drawer 1280 -> 1279.98):
  viewport of exactly 1280px now gets the desktop sidebar

GnAvatar's :icon prop expects the full Phosphor class (e.g. 'ph ph-briefcase'),
not just the icon name. profileIcon() now returns 'ph ${cls}'.

GnAvatar render function ignores default slot content; it only reads
src, icon, and initials props. Fixes broken user avatar image display.

- ProfileBadge.vue: GnBadge → GnAvatar with profile initials
- AppSidebar.vue: custom user-avatar/img → GnAvatar with image or fallback initial
- WelcomeScreen.vue: profile-icon → GnAvatar with Phosphor icon + secondary variant

gnexus-ui-kit's iconNode() does not prepend the base `ph` class
when the icon string starts with `ph-`; it only keeps the string
as-is. All icon props must include the base class explicitly:
`icon="ph ph-sidebar"` instead of `icon="ph-sidebar"`.

Updated 15 icon bindings across 9 components.
