Replaces the placeholder folder glyph with the new logo: a white-gloved
hand presenting a framed work, which says what the app is for far
better than the old mark did.
Two assets, because one cannot serve both jobs. Measured, not assumed:
rendered at 22px the full logo is unreadable mush, so favicon.svg stays
a separate, much simpler mark.
logo.svg — traced from the source raster with potrace, then repainted
from the design tokens. Segmentation notes, since this is the part that
is easy to get wrong on a re-do: hue does NOT separate the glove from
the frame's highlights (both sit near 38 degrees) and neither does
saturation alone. The split is a connected-component fill seeded inside
the cuff, dilated first so it can cross the dark outline strokes that
cut the fingertips off from the palm.
The source plate was a warm brown (#1B1105), not the app's cool
obsidian (#14171A) — side by side it read as a logo sitting on its own
warmer card. It is dropped entirely: the mark is transparent and the
frame interior shows whatever surface hosts it.
The source gold was #AA7E39, which is within a couple of points of
accent.curator #A87338 — so the mark now shares one colour with
nav-active text and the wordmark rather than nearly sharing it. The
glove goes to text.parchment for the same reason.
favicon.svg — hand-drawn rather than traced. At 16px a traced mark
carries hundreds of wobble nodes that read as fuzz and can never be
tidied. Ring + frame + star merged into a blob at that size, so it
keeps two elements: the frame and the star. Frame over a plain ring
because it carries the meaning, and it is the full logo's own
centrepiece; the glove, cufflink, finials and sparkle rays are
deliberately absent rather than drawn and lost.
The favicon keeps its obsidian plate so the tab icon is self-contained
against any browser chrome; on the nav that plate is invisible because
it matches --fc-chrome-rgb exactly. logo.svg has no plate at all.
Both files carry a comment explaining why they are shaped this way, so
the next edit does not undo the reasoning. The old favicon is one
revert away in history.

Nav lists every FC-2 and FC-3 surface with a placeholder view that names
the sub-project that will fill it. System store polls /api/health on mount
and renders a status pip in the nav footer.
Favicon uses Curator's aged amber accent (#A87338).
