Subject: [PATCH 1/2] test(web): a preview annotation chip label cut beside an
 emoji

The chip label of a preview annotation cuts a long comment at 47 UTF-16
code units. When an emoji straddles that cut, the label keeps half of it
and shows a replacement character before the ellipsis, and this test
fails here.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix(web): preview annotation chip labels no longer end in
 a broken character

A preview annotation's context chip takes its label from the comment,
cut at 47 UTF-16 code units before the shared label sanitizer runs. An
emoji straddling that cut left a lone high surrogate before the
ellipsis, so the chip, the record sent with the message and a thread
title seeded from the annotation all showed a replacement character.

The cut now steps back one unit when it would split a surrogate pair,
the check #29158 added to the shared context chip label cap. The
48-character limit and labels without a split emoji are unchanged.

Bug: a preview annotation chip label ends in a broken character when an emoji sits at the cut
