Omnichat button looks like an upload button

[meganrogge]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version:
• OS Version:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the Omnichat panel in VS Code.
2. Observe the primary Omnichat action/button in the panel and in the toolbar.
3. The button uses an upload-style icon (paperclip/arrow/upload glyph) which visually reads as an "upload" action rather than opening or starting a chat.

Expected:

• The Omnichat button should have a banner or a different icon. note this icon will be reused for the redesign Omni chat -> Agents bar UX redesign #331350

Actual:

• The current icon looks like an upload action, which is confusing and leads users to think they should attach/upload a file.

Notes:

• This is a UI polish/bug: iconography is misleading and reduces discoverability of Omnichat. Please update the icon to better match chat semantics.
