 - Delegate-only: You NEVER execute phase work inline.

 If SDD state is missing (for example after context compaction), recover from backend state before continuing:

+# Contribution: Linux: add managed emoji font support and Unicode rendering configuration
+
+## Description
+
+This contribution adds full Unicode and emoji support to the Vim simulator and TUI in Gentleman.Dots, specifically for Linux environments where input may contain multi-byte characters.
+
+## Current Problem
+
+The Vim simulator in `installer/internal/tui/trainer/simulator.go` uses `byte` for character processing:
+
+```go
+func isWordChar(ch byte, bigWord bool) bool {
+    // Only works for ASCII
+    return unicode.IsLetter(rune(ch)) || unicode.IsDigit(r) || ch == '_'
+}
+```
+
+This fails with:
+
+- Non-ASCII Unicode characters (accents, Chinese, Cyrillic, etc.)
+- Emoji (😀, ❤️, etc.)
+- Double-width characters (CJK, full-width emoji)
+
+## Proposed Solution
+
+### 1. Update `isWordChar` to handle runes
+
+Change signature from `byte` to `rune` and use proper Unicode word detection:
+
+```go
+func isWordChar(r rune, bigWord bool) bool {
+    if bigWord {
+        // WORD: only spaces separate words (also consider control characters)
+        return r != ' ' && r != '\t' && !unicode.IsControl(r)
+    }
+    // word: letters, digits, underscore (includes Unicode)
+    return unicode.IsLetter(r) || unicode.IsDigit(r) || r == '_'
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Update `isWordCharForTextObj` internally
+
+Align signature and convert byte to rune before calling `isWordChar`:
+
+```go
+func isWordCharForTextObj(ch byte, bigWord bool) bool {
+    // ... convert to rune before calling isWordChar
+}
+```
+
+### 3. UTF-8 input handling in simulator
+
+Ensure all code lines respect rune boundaries, not byte boundaries:
+
+```go
+// Instead of len(line), use:
+func runeCountInLine(line string) int {
+    count := 0
+    for range line {
+        count++
+    }
+    return count
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Emoji support in navigation
+
+Add commands for moving by emoji:
+
+```go
+// New case for emoji in command switch
+case 'M-<emoji>':
+    // Navigate to next emoji
+    pos = findNextEmoji(pos, code, true)
+```
+
+### 5. Emoji search function
+
+```go
+func findNextEmoji(pos SimulatedPosition, code []string, forward bool) SimulatedPosition {
+    // Find next character that is an emoji (general category "So" - Symbol, other)
+    for lineIdx := pos.Line; lineIdx < len(code); lineIdx++ {
+        line := code[lineIdx]
+        startCol := 0
+        if lineIdx == pos.Line {
+            startCol = pos.Col
+        }
+
+        for col := startCol; col < len(line); {
+            // Get next rune
+            if col >= len(line) {
+                break
+            }
+            r, size := utf8.DecodeRuneInString(line[col:])
+            if r == utf8.RuneError {
+                col++ // Invalid UTF-8, advance one byte
+                continue
+            }
+            // Check if emoji (So category or emoji ranges)
+            if unicode.Is(unicode.Sym, r) || (r >= 0x1F300 && r <= 0x1F5FF) || (r >= 0x1F900 && r <= 0x1F9FF) {
+                // Found
+                pos.Line = lineIdx
+                pos.Col = col
+                return pos
+            }
+            col += size
+        }
+    }
+    return pos
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Selection operations support
+
+- `dw` over emoji should select the full emoji
+- `cw` to change emoji
+- `yw` to copy emoji
+- Search with `f`/`t` using Unicode code points
+
+### 7. Linux testing
+
+Add tests in `e2e/` to validate:
+
+```bash
+# Emoji navigation test
+test_emoji_navigation() {
+    # Create test file with emoji
+    echo "Hello 🌍 World" > /tmp/test_emoji.txt
+    # Run simulator and verify motions work
+    ./gentleman-installer --train --file /tmp/test_emoji.txt
+    # Verify w/e/b motions work over emoji
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Considerations
+
+1. **Go `unicode/utf8` package**: Available in stdlib, use `utf8.DecodeRuneInString` for rune iteration.
+
+2. **`strings` vs `[]rune`**: Convert string to `[]rune` when needed, but consider memory overhead for large files.
+
+3. **Emoji width**: Emoji may have variable terminal width. Consider Go `width` library or manual Unicode category calculations.
+
+4. **Backward compatibility**: Maintain ASCII compatibility—existing functions must continue working with ASCII while adding Unicode support.
+
+## Change Checklist
+
+- [ ] Update `isWordChar` to accept `rune` instead of `byte`
+- [ ] Update internal `isWordCharForTextObj`
+- [ ] Add `runeCountInLine` helper
+- [ ] Add emoji search (`findNextEmoji`)
+- [ ] Update `moveWordForward`/`moveWordBackward` for rune boundaries
+- [ ] Add E2E tests for emoji navigation
+- [ ] Update AGENTS.md documentation
