Release notes for v3.8.4 — the "Phosphor migration" release. Six PRs
(#1649–#1654, tracking #1648) plus three followup fixes
(#1659/#1660/#1665) replaced all decorative emoji in the UI with
Phosphor sprites and added a lint gate to prevent regression.
## Verification summary
Test plan: `workspace-meshcore/test-plans/v3.8.4-cdp-test-plan.md` (93
tests, 16 sections).
- Initial run (pre-#1665): 56 pass / 22 partial / 5 fail / 14 skipped.
Two BLOCKER lint-gate breaches in observers and analytics Channels.
- Final run (post-#1665, hot-patched to staging): both blockers ✅ —
v384-1.2 (11 chips, 11 sprites, 0 emoji), v384-12.18 (315 lock sprites,
0 🔒 emoji).
- 22 partials are plan selector drift, not code regressions; deferred to
v3.8.5.
## Tagging
Per the notes file, this is ready for `git tag -a v3.8.4 037dc8c4 -m
"v3.8.4"` after merge — **not executed by this PR**.
## Review
