Use attention emojis on daemon messages that need an operator response so they're easy to scan

detail
What they reported
When a daemon posts something that actually needs the operator's response/decision — a question, a go/no-go, a blocker awaiting the operator — prefix/tag it with a consistent set of attention emojis (e.g. ❓ question needing an answer, 🅰️/🟢 go/no-go decision, 🛑 blocker, ✋ needs-you) so the operator can visually scan a long scrollback and instantly spot the items that need them vs routine activity/FYI. Should apply across daemon reports/notes, inbox notes, brief questions, and the operator-feed "needs_you" items. Keep routine/FYI messages un-emoji'd (or a low-key marker) so the highlight stays meaningful. Operator request 2026-07-03.
