    unchanged. Updated `App.test.tsx` to reach the screen via "Manage profiles"

-7. **Active-profile picture now shows on Compose + sidebar.** Same root cause
-   as the earlier Home fix: `Avatar` was rendered without the `picture` prop.
-   Added `picture={active.picture}` to both the write and preview avatars in

-   picture now appears consistently wherever the active profile is shown.
