+The panel calls `row.operator("...", text="...")` without passing `icon=`. In Blender, when you use `layout.operator(operator_id, text=..., icon=...)`, the icon is drawn. The operator's `bl_icon` is used when the operator is invoked from a menu (Blender looks up the operator and uses its bl_icon), but when drawing in a custom panel with explicit `text=`, the default behavior might not show the icon unless we pass it.
+
+So the fix is to add `icon="..."` to each of the six operator calls in the panel, using the same icon names we set on the operators.

+
+Adding explicit `icon=` to each panel `operator()` call so the icons draw (Blender doesn't always use the operator's `bl_icon` when `text=` is provided).

+Done. Passing icon= in the layout.operator() call is what makes the icon show on the button in Blender's UI.

+
+
+Updated the panel so each migrator button is drawn with an explicit `icon=...` in the `operator()` call. Blender only shows the icon on layout buttons when it’s passed there; the operator’s `bl_icon` is used in menus and search. Reload the add-on and the icons should appear on the step buttons.

+MigShapekeys and MigNLA should have their buttons truncated to simply "NLA" and "BaseBody ShapeKeys"
