Symptom: the 👀 reaction on an issue/comment an agent is working shows a tooltip of "Ghost".

Cause: the 👀/🚀/😕 reaction steps posted with the built-in GITEA_TOKEN, whose Actions-bot has no persistent Gitea user, so reactions render as "Ghost".

Fix: react with the routed agent's own token (SELF_TOKEN) so the tooltip shows the real agent. The 👀 step moves to just after prep (it now needs the routed name), so it appears a few seconds later instead of instantly; the done/failed steps DELETE eyes with the same token that added it.

**Symptom:** the 👀 reaction on an issue/comment an agent is working shows a tooltip of **"Ghost"**. **Cause:** the 👀/🚀/😕 reaction steps posted with the built-in `GITEA_TOKEN`, whose Actions-bot has no persistent Gitea user, so reactions render as "Ghost". **Fix:** react with the routed agent's own token (`SELF_TOKEN`) so the tooltip shows the real agent. The 👀 step moves to just after `prep` (it now needs the routed name), so it appears a few seconds later instead of instantly; the done/failed steps `DELETE eyes` with the same token that added it.
