# Bundled connect backend (see src/main/index.ts's startConnectServer()) —
# built by `npm run package:connect` (connect/packaging/build-binary.py),
# which must run before electron-builder does. Like any PyInstaller output,
# this is platform/arch-specific — it has to be built *on* whatever
# platform/arch you're packaging for, no cross-compiling.

# build/icon.png (1024x1024, the mdi-lighthouse-on glyph rendered straight
# from @mdi/font's own TTF in the app's primary theme color — same source
# as the DefaultLayout.vue/MobileLayout.vue app-bar icon and the web
# favicon, just at full resolution instead of downscaled) is the source
# every icon here is generated from: build/icons/icon.ico is a real
# multi-resolution ICO (16 through 256px), and build/icons/NxN.png are the
# freedesktop sizes Linux needs.
#
# Linux points at the *directory*, not at icon.png, and that distinction is
# the whole reason a packaged Linux build shows an icon at all. Handed a
# single .png, electron-builder ships exactly that one file at exactly its
# own resolution (see app-builder-lib's iconConverter: "source is already a
# .png — return as-is with its dimensions"), which put the only copy in
# hicolor/1024x1024/. No spec-conforming icon lookup ever finds it: the
# freedesktop hicolor theme declares sizes up to 512x512 and nothing
# beyond, so a directory it doesn't know about is skipped entirely, and
# every launcher fell back to a generic icon. Handed a directory, the same
# converter collects every NxN.png in it — icon.ico is ignored, its name
# doesn't match — and each one lands in the hicolor size it belongs to.
