+  <!-- Hand-drawn, NOT traced from the source raster. This renders at 16px in a
+       browser tab and 22px in the nav (TopNav.vue), and a traced mark carries
+       hundreds of sub-pixel wobble nodes that read as fuzz at those sizes and
+       cannot be tidied afterwards.
+
+       Two elements only. The full logo's glove, cufflink, fleur-de-lis finials,
+       outer ring and sparkle rays are all deliberately ABSENT rather than drawn
+       and lost: measured at 16px, ring + frame + star merged into an
+       indistinct blob, and the whole logo was unreadable mush. The frame won
+       over a plain ring because it carries the meaning — a framed work is what
+       curation looks like — and it is the full logo's own centrepiece.
+
+       Colours are theme tokens (frontend/src/theme/fabled-tokens.js): obsidian
+       plate, accent gold. The plate is kept here (unlike logo.svg) so the tab
+       icon is self-contained against any browser chrome; on the nav it is
+       invisible because it matches --fc-chrome-rgb exactly. -->
