build: stop re-rendering tracked brand assets on dev launch and packaging - #680
Conversation
…ging `launch-dev-app.sh` and `package-app.sh` ran `generate_brand_icons.py` on every invocation, rewriting the committed iconsets in place. The renderer is deterministic per machine, but PNG bytes differ between Pillow versions even when every pixel is identical, so on any machine whose Pillow differs from the one that produced the committed files each dev launch left 14 modified PNGs in the worktree. That blocked `git pull` and leaked into unrelated commits (#669 carried a churn-and-revert pair; #678 shipped the 14 re-encoded files). `package-app.sh` had the same issue with `dmg-background.png`, which additionally depends on the machine's fonts. Both scripts now package the committed `OpenIsland.icns` and DMG background as-is and fail with a pointer to the generator if either is missing. Re-rendering is opt-in: `launch-dev-app.sh --regenerate-icons` and `OPEN_ISLAND_REGENERATE_BRAND_ASSETS=true zsh scripts/package-app.sh`. Assets/Brand/README.md documents the workflow and the expected diff after regenerating on a different machine.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughBrand asset generation is now opt-in. Development and packaging scripts use committed assets by default, validate required files, and document explicit regeneration commands. ChangesBrand asset workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The scripts now avoid rewriting committed brand assets by default and make regeneration opt-in. The README should distinguish icon regeneration from DMG background generation to prevent contributor confusion, but this is a minor documentation follow-up and not a merge-blocking risk. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

The new preflight check validates dmg-background.png, but the Styled DMG section passes Assets/Brand/dmg-background@2x.png to create-dmg. If the tracked Retina asset is missing while the unused 1x file remains, this check succeeds and packaging fails later with an unrelated tool error; conversely, deleting only the unused 1x file blocks an otherwise valid package. Point this variable/check at the @2x asset actually consumed on line 245.

Clarify the regeneration scope.
python3 scripts/generate_brand_icons.py and zsh scripts/launch-dev-app.sh --regenerate-icons regenerate icon assets only. dmg-background.png requires the separate scripts/generate_dmg_background.py generator, which scripts/package-app.sh invokes. Replace “regenerate everything” with “regenerate the icon assets” or document the background command separately.

scripts/launch-dev-app.shandscripts/package-app.shrungenerate_brand_icons.pyon every invocation and write the result over the committed iconsets. The renderer is deterministic on a given machine, but PNG bytes differ between Pillow versions even when every pixel is identical (verified: max channel difference 0 across all 14 files, only the encoding changed). So on any machine whose Pillow differs from the one that produced the committed files, every dev launch leaves 14 modified PNGs underAssets/Brand, which blocksgit pull --ff-onlyand gets swept into unrelated commits — #669 carried a churn-and-revert pair, and #678 shipped the 14 re-encoded files (harmless, pixel-identical, but unintended).package-app.shhas the same issue withdmg-background.png, which additionally depends on the fonts installed on the machine. Open PR #378 targets the same problem with a larger generator refactor (--output-root/--icns-only).Change
