Summary

Replaces the old AI-mascot app icon with the new DropPilot mark — a violet droplet with a white navigation arrow on a dark rounded tile — matching the README/brand refresh shipped in #64.

This swaps a single asset: icons/icon.png. Per src/main/index.ts (resolveTrayIcon) the tray reuses that same PNG, and electron-builder is configured with icon: icons/icon.png and derives the installer .ico from it — so this one file covers the window icon, taskbar, installer, and tray.

What changed

  • icons/icon.svg — new vector source for the icon (dark #0e1014 rounded tile + the droplet mark). Derived from icons/logo.svg.
  • icons/icon.png — regenerated, now 1024×1024 RGBA (was RGB). Alpha keeps the rounded-tile corners transparent.
  • scripts/build-icon.mjs — dependency-free generator that renders the SVG → PNG using the Electron binary already in the project (offscreen render, no new npm dep, no network). Matches the repo's existing dependency-free-scripts style.
  • package.json — adds npm run build:icon to regenerate the PNG after editing icons/icon.svg.

Why

The previous icon.png was a busy 1024px raster mascot that didn't scale or stay consistent with the new brand. The icon now has a clean vector source and a reproducible build step.

Reviewer notes

  • Regenerate any time with npm run build:icon (edits icons/icon.svg → rewrites icons/icon.png).
  • No source/test behavior changes; full suite green (514 passing).
  • App-icon/tray regeneration was the deferred follow-up from the README overhaul (docs(readme): refresh content + presentation glow-up #64). The empty icons/tray/ folder is unused by the code and left untouched.

Test plan

  • CI verify passes.
  • After a Windows build, confirm the new icon shows on the window, taskbar, installer, and system tray.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Dark rounded tile + violet droplet mark, rendered to icons/icon.png
(1024x1024 RGBA) from icons/icon.svg via a dependency-free Electron
offscreen script (npm run build:icon). electron-builder derives the
installer .ico from this PNG and the tray reuses it.
