This is a *significant* expansion of Snipdeck's surface area — it crosses
from "snippet manager" into "lightweight runbook executor". Worth doing,
worth doing carefully, and worth a design conversation before the first PR.

## Icon picker (glyph browser) for tag icons

**Problem.** Tag icons are set by typing a raw glyph — either pasting a Segoe
Fluent Icons character or entering its hex code point (`GlyphInput.Resolve`
already accepts `E8EC`, `U+E8EC`, `0xE8EC`, ``). That works, but it's
unfriendly: the user has to know or look up a code point and can't see what's
available. There's no way to browse the icon set.

**Idea.** A visual icon picker — a searchable grid of glyphs the user clicks to
choose — instead of (or alongside) typing a code. Driven from the Tags
management view, and a reusable fit for any future "choose a glyph" need.

**Sketch.**
- A reusable `IconPicker` control / flyout: a virtualised `GridView` of
`FontIcon`s over a list of Segoe Fluent Icons glyphs, with a search box that
filters by name and/or code point.
- Needs a glyph **catalogue** — code point + friendly name — for the grid and
search. Either hand-curate a useful subset or embed the published Segoe Fluent
Icons mapping; the names are what make search worthwhile.
- Wire into the Tags view: add a "Choose…" button next to each row that opens
the picker, while keeping the free-text field as an escape hatch for pasting /
power users.
- Selection still flows through `GlyphInput.Resolve` and the stored-character
model, so persistence is unchanged.

**Open questions** to settle when scheduled:
- Curated subset vs. full catalogue (the full set is ~1.5k glyphs — needs
virtualisation and good search to stay usable).
- Where do the glyph **names** come from, and is fuzzy search worth it?
- Do CLI icons (today: uploaded image, identicon fallback) also gain a
"pick a glyph instead" option, or stay image-only? Keep the first cut to tags.
