The SpaceSidebar's home tile is a 40×40 rounded-[20px] squircle with object-cover. The original spec assumed the sidebar provides "the colour-circle frame," so logo.png shipped as the bare gradient B on transparent. In practice the tile is a transparent slot — the bare mark touched the squircle edges (no internal padding), conflicted with the active-state ring, and read as poorly-integrated. Switching to the full badge (Element 1 / app-icon.svg): the badge's own dark squircle bg fills the tile, its internal padding around the mark keeps the gradient off the edges, and the result reads as a clean Discord-style "home space" tile alongside the user's other spaces. Only logo.png regenerated; remaining 21 outputs byte-identical (determinism gate verified). Spec output matrix and generator README updated to reflect the corrected source mapping.

Icon Generator
Regenerates every brand artefact from assets/brand/*.svg:
- macOS
.icns, Windows.ico, Linux per-size PNGs (packages/desktop/build/) - Tray icons for all three platforms (
packages/desktop/resources/) - Web favicons, PWA manifest icons, maskable, in-app
logo.png(packages/web/public/icons/)
When to run
After changing any file under assets/brand/, or after bumping sharp,
png-to-ico, or png2icons in the root package.json. Commit the diff in
the same PR.
pnpm gen-icons
git status # review which files changed
git add packages/desktop/build/ packages/desktop/resources/ packages/web/public/icons/
git commit -m "chore: regenerate brand icons"
(Stage explicit paths rather than git add -A — the generator only writes to those three directories, and an unrelated working-tree change shouldn't accidentally land in a "regenerate icons" commit.)
Determinism
Output is byte-stable for a given lockfile. The same SVGs in produce the same PNG/ICO/ICNS bytes out, every time, on every OS — Sharp uses resvg internally and writes deterministic PNGs, png-to-ico and png2icons don't embed timestamps.
Caveat: byte-stability is not guaranteed across version bumps of
the three encoder deps. After a Renovate / dependabot PR upgrades any of
them, run pnpm gen-icons once and commit the resulting diff inside the
same PR. That follow-up commit isn't an artwork change — it's encoder
output drift, and gating it inside the dep PR keeps the artwork-change
git history clean.
