+<!--
+	Fase 19.2 — Emoji picker.
+
+	Tabbed grid of ~280–360 emoji codepoints (see $lib/data/emoji-catalog).
+	Header is a tablist with 4 category buttons; body is a single grid for
+	the currently-selected tab. Switching tabs unmounts the previous grid
+	and mounts the new one — lazy-render — so the DOM never holds more
+	than `EMOJI_CATALOG[activeCategory].length` cells at once (the
+	"objects" tab is the smallest; "animals" is the worst case at ~140).
+
+	Props:
+	- `selected`: the currently-active emoji string (highlights the
+	  matching cell, if any).
+	- `onSelect(emoji)`: fired on cell click. Caller owns the persistence
+	  side-effect (update DB / Supabase row).
+
+	Keyboard nav: arrow keys move focus between cells in the active grid.
+	Cells are `tabindex={index === 0 ? 0 : -1}` (roving focus) per WAI-ARIA
+	grid pattern — the parent tab order has a single entry into the grid,
+	and arrow keys then walk it cell-by-cell. Tab order is consistent with
+	existing modals on the host pages (settings, onboarding, manage,
+	CreateCollectiveModal).
+-->

+ * Fase 19.4.1 — EmojiPicker component unit tests.

+ * Mirrors the Spinner.test.ts / ChangelogModal.test.ts pattern (Svelte 5
+ * `mount`/`unmount`, no @testing-library dep).
+ *
+ * Specs:
+ *   EP-U-01 — 4 category tabs are rendered with role="tab".
+ *   EP-U-02 — default selected tab is "faces" (aria-selected on the faces tab).
+ *   EP-U-03 — clicking a gridcell fires `onSelect` with the underlying emoji.
+ *   EP-U-04 — clicking a different tab re-renders the grid with that
+ *             category's first emoji (lazy render: only the active grid
+ *             is mounted, so the previously-active grid is gone from the DOM).
+ *   EP-U-05 — ArrowRight moves focus from cell N to cell N+1.
