Render assistant text avatars from IDENTITY.md consistently in the Control UI chat welcome state and transcript groups.
Also supports authenticated blob avatar URLs in grouped messages and rejects bidi/invisible controls in assistant text avatars.
Verification:
- pnpm test ui/src/ui/chat/grouped-render.test.ts ui/src/ui/views/chat.test.ts ui/src/styles/chat/layout.test.ts
- pnpm check:changed
- GitHub CI green
- Review threads resolved
Keep WhatsApp QR login state synced across gateway, macOS, and UI wait flows.
- Preserve the latest QR data URL/version while login polling rotates codes.
- Keep the wait-result protocol bounded to current QR metadata.
- Stabilize QR rendering and media fixture coverage after rebasing on main.
Validation:
- pnpm test extensions/whatsapp/src/login-qr.test.ts extensions/whatsapp/src/media.test.ts extensions/whatsapp/src/agent-tools-login.test.ts src/gateway/protocol/channels.schema.test.ts src/gateway/server-methods/web.start.test.ts ui/src/ui/controllers/channels.test.ts
- pnpm test:extension whatsapp
- cd apps/macos && swift test --filter ChannelsSettingsSmokeTests
- GitHub PR checks: 62 success, 5 skipped
- Voice input button had title= but no aria-label, so screen readers
announced it without context. Add aria-label mirroring the title,
toggling between "Voice input" and "Stop recording".
- Pinned messages toggle lacked aria-expanded, so screen readers could
not announce the collapsed/expanded state of the section.

Fixes#70491.
Includes cached prompt tokens in the Control UI context percent and keeps output tokens out of the percentage.
Thanks @chen-zhang-cs-code.
## Summary
- add browser-local operator identity in Control UI and route user name/avatar rendering through the shared chat/avatar path used by assistant and agent surfaces
- tighten Quick Settings, fallback chip, and mobile chat layout behavior so the personalized UI uses space better and avoids clipped controls
- guard oversized local avatar uploads before FileReader allocation, restore the fallback-chip keyboard focus ring, and add the changelog note for the user-visible Control UI work
## Testing
- pnpm test ui/src/ui/views/config-quick.test.ts ui/src/styles/components.test.ts
