fix(desktop): macOS icon safe-area padding (was oversized/full-bleed)#93
Merged
Conversation
The app icon was a blue squircle filling the entire 1024 canvas edge-to-edge with no transparent margin, so in the Dock it rendered visibly larger than neighbouring apps (which follow the macOS Big Sur+ grid: the rounded square occupies ~80% of the canvas with a ~10% transparent margin), and the big white cat dominated on launch. Rework icon.svg to the macOS grid: inset the squircle to 80% (transparent margin), corner radius ≈ 22.5% of the square, and inset the cat to ~58% inside the squircle so it reads as a mark rather than a full-bleed silhouette. Regenerated 32/128/128@2x PNG + icon.icns via `tauri icon` (dropped the iOS/Android/Windows variants it also emits — this is a Mac-only app). Note: macOS caches icons by app version (HANDOFF §8c); takes effect on the next tauri:build, and a stale Dock icon may need an `lsregister -kill -r` to refresh.

Bug
The Dock icon rendered noticeably larger than neighbouring apps, and a big white cat dominated on launch.
Cause
icon.svgwas a blue squircle filling the entire 1024 canvas edge-to-edge — no transparent margin. macOS Big Sur+ icons follow a grid where the rounded square occupies ~80% of the canvas with a ~10% transparent margin, so a full-bleed icon visually overflows its tile.Fix
Rework
icon.svgto the macOS grid: squircle inset to 80% (transparent margin), corner radius ≈ 22.5% of the square, and the cat inset to ~58% inside the squircle (a mark, not a full-bleed silhouette). Regenerated32/128/128@2xPNG +icon.icnsviatauri icon(dropped the iOS/Android/Windows variants it also emits — Mac-only app).Before → after (128px): full-bleed cat → padded squircle with an inset cat.
