The previous Element-1 (full badge) approach produced a visible warm-grey #1d1d1b square inside the cool-dark #1a1a23 sidebar — the two near-blacks differ enough in hue to read as a foreign rectangle in the slot. The right answer (third time lucky): the SpaceSidebar's 40×40 rounded-[20px] tile already IS the dark squircle frame. logo.png now composites the bare gradient mark at 75% on a transparent canvas: the sidebar's tile bg shows through, the 25% padding keeps the mark off the squircle edges and clear of the active-state ring, and there is no foreign-bg colour conflict. Refactored writeMaskablePng → writeCenteredMarkPng to share one code path between the maskable PWA (opaque #1d1d1b background, 60% mark) and the in-app logo (transparent background, 75% mark). Both use the same composition pipeline; only canvas / scale / bg differ. Only logo.png regenerated; other 21 outputs byte-identical (determinism gate verified twice).

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.
