Report

We need a logo/icon, used consistently across all the apps and branding.

Findings

Every packaging path already has a slot for it and is currently filled with the Wails scaffold default:

  • build/config.yml drives Info.plist, the .desktop template, nfpm.yaml and the Windows manifest via wails3 task common:update:build-assets — hand edits there are lost on the next refresh, so the source icon has to live in build/ and be picked up by that generation.
  • build/android/ is committed and hand-edited like source; it needs its own launcher icon set (adaptive icon: foreground/background layers, all densities).
  • packaging/arch/PKGBUILD and the Homebrew formula install the desktop entry and icon.
  • Frontend: favicon, the app's own header mark (see the "YJ" header issue), and the README's landing-page treatment.

Direction

Design first (a mark that reads at 16px and as an Android adaptive icon), then one issue-worth of plumbing: source SVG in the repo, a generation script for the raster sizes, and a checklist covering desktop icon, tray/window icon, Android launcher, favicon, in-app mark, README/release assets.

**Report** We need a logo/icon, used consistently across all the apps and branding. **Findings** Every packaging path already has a slot for it and is currently filled with the Wails scaffold default: - `build/config.yml` drives `Info.plist`, the `.desktop` template, `nfpm.yaml` and the Windows manifest via `wails3 task common:update:build-assets` — hand edits there are lost on the next refresh, so the source icon has to live in `build/` and be picked up by that generation. - `build/android/` is committed and hand-edited like source; it needs its own launcher icon set (adaptive icon: foreground/background layers, all densities). - `packaging/arch/PKGBUILD` and the Homebrew formula install the desktop entry and icon. - Frontend: favicon, the app's own header mark (see the "YJ" header issue), and the README's landing-page treatment. **Direction** Design first (a mark that reads at 16px and as an Android adaptive icon), then one issue-worth of plumbing: source SVG in the repo, a generation script for the raster sizes, and a checklist covering desktop icon, tray/window icon, Android launcher, favicon, in-app mark, README/release assets.
