fix(tests): fix multiple failing tests across crates (#479)

- create_agent.rs: Use context.cwd instead of process-wide set_current_dir()
  to eliminate race conditions in parallel test execution
- help_browser.rs: Update test to expect wrap-around navigation behavior
- command_palette.rs: Update test to expect wrap-around navigation behavior
- files.rs: Fix icon assertions from emoji to ASCII characters
- mention_popup.rs: Fix icon assertions from emoji to ASCII characters
- minimal_session.rs: Fix test to check any content existence, change
  doctest code fence from rust to text to prevent parsing Unicode chars
