▐▛███▛█ Claude Code v2.1.247 ▝▜██████▀ Sonnet 5 · Claude Pro ▝▝ ▝▝ ~/timhyperland/scripts ❯ We have a lot of icons which are in a variad of colours. They don't fit to the theme (which is one pre-domuninant colour like in our current theme orange). I would like to have a script which a) iterates possible candidates of icons of applications (application icons like firefox in the bottom bar, networkmanager status icon, icons of application when I press the dotted hamburger to show available application). b) remember icons we already adapted (so that we can rerun the script when we install another application). We should be able to force the regenration of a specific icon though in case we are not happy with it. c) there is a folder with SVGs called 'svg_samples' which containes the style in form of examples. Can you generate a resuable style guide out of sample SVGs. Let's discuss and plan. ● I'll start by exploring the repo structure, the README, and the svg_samples folder to ground the plan in what's actually there.

E.g. Firefox resolves to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/firefox.svg, the stock full-color fox logo. So right now you're effectively on the stock hicolor/app-bundled icons, not a themed set. - NetworkManager/tray icons: SystemTrayModule.qml gets each icon from the app itself over D-Bus (StatusNotifierItem), either as a themed icon name (overridable, same lookup as above) or a raw pixmap (not overridable — there's literally a comment in that file saying "the bar cannot recolor them"). So tray coverage will be partial, by nature of the protocol, not our tooling. - Crucially: none of these three surfaces re-colorize at render time the way the status-bar BarButtons do (no MultiEffect/colorize). Whatever color we want has to be baked into the SVG file itself, and re-baked every time matugen regenerates colors.json (current primary: #f1be6d — confirms the orange). - Tools present on the VM: rsvg-convert, ImageMagick (convert), python3, jq. potrace is missing but installable via pacman — needed for tracing flat silhouettes out of full-color/raster icons. svg_samples/: ~95 flat glyph icons. Convention: no explicit fill/color (monochrome by omission), solid closed paths only — no gradients, no strokes, rounded corners on primitives (rx on rects). Two coordinate conventions mixed in (24-unit grid exported at 512px, and native 512-unit grid) but same visual language throughout. Proposed architecture, 4 pieces: 1. Style-guide extractor — parses all of svg_samples/*.svg, derives the shared conventions (monochrome, flat solid fill, no stroke, corner-rounding ratio, padding/inset ratio) into a style_guide.json that the generator conforms to. 2. Candidate discovery — all 191 .desktop Icon= values, plus a short curated list of common tray/status icon basenames (network-wireless*, bluetooth*, audio-volume*, …) since tray icons aren't desktop-entry driven. 3. Generator/recolorer per candidate — resolve the real icon file via the actual lookup chain (active theme → hicolor → pixmaps). If it's already a simple flat SVG, just strip colors to one fill. Otherwise render to a high-res raster via rsvg-convert, threshold the alpha, and vector-trace with potrace into a flat single-path silhouette matching the style guide — cached colorless, then stamped with the live accent hex as a cheap, separate step (so a wallpaper switch just recolors cached silhouettes instead of re-tracing everything). 4. Manifest + installer — JSON manifest keyed by icon name (source hash, style-guide version, silhouette path) to make reruns skip unchanged icons automatically when a new app is installed; --force / --force-all to override. Installed as overlay files into the active icon theme's own ~/.local/share/icons//... hierarchy (standard XDG per-user override — no need to touch GTK/Qt/rofi/walker config separately). Two decisions are genuinely yours to make before I build this: ● User answered Claude's questions: ⎿  · Auto-tracing a brand icon like Firefox's into a flat single-color silhouette will lose detail/recognizability compared to a hand-cleaned version. How should the pipeline handle that? → Pure automation, trace everything · Where should the generated icons be installed so the launcher/tray actually pick them up? → Overlay into the active theme (Recommended) ● Both choices make sense — and digging into the "overlay into the active theme" option surfaced an important wrinkle worth flagging: kora (the configured GTK icon theme) has no index.theme anywhere on disk, so it likely never actually resolves as a theme at all — that's why Firefox falls through to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/firefox.svg today. Dropping overrides into ~/.local/share/icons/kora/... would probably be silently ignored. The concrete, verified-safe target is ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/... — the guaranteed fallback theme that's demonstrably already serving every icon, and the user copy there has no cache file, so GTK/rofi/walker scan it live (no cache-invalidation step needed). Finalized plan: #: 1 File: scripts/09-build-icon-style-guide.sh + scripts/lib/style_guide.py Role: Runs locally against svg_samples/, emits svg_samples/style_guide.json (monochrome/no-fill, flat solid shapes, no stroke, corner-rounding + padding ratios). Committed to the repo; its hash is what invalidates cached traces when the guide changes. ──────────────────────────────────────── #: 2 File: scripts/tray-icon-candidates.txt Role: Curated list of common status/tray icon basenames (network-wireless*, bluetooth*, audio-volume*, …), since tray apps aren't desktop-entry driven. ──────────────────────────────────────── #: 3 File: scripts/10-generate-icon-theme.sh [--vm|--local] [--force |--force-all] Role: Main driver on the target: installs potrace via pacman if missing; enumerates all Icon= from the 191 .desktop files + the curated tray list; resolves each to its real source file; traces/recolors/installs per the manifest (details below); mirrors into a few fixed raster sizes (48/64/128px) under hicolor alongside scalable/apps/ for loaders that prefer raster. ──────────────────────────────────────── #: 4 File: Manifest at ~/.config/timhyperland-icons/manifest.json (on VM/local) Role: Per icon: source path+hash, style-guide hash, cached colorless silhouette path. Skips regen unless something changed or --force is given. ──────────────────────────────────────── #: 5 File: Hook into scripts/06-switch-wallpaper.sh Role: After matugen regenerates colors.json, re-run just the cheap "recolor cached silhouette" step (no re-trace) so every app icon follows the new accent automatically on each theme switch. Pipeline per icon: resolve real file → if already a simple flat SVG, strip to one fill; else rasterize (rsvg-convert/convert) → alpha-threshold → potrace → flat silhouette, normalized to the style guide → cache colorless → stamp current primary hex (#f1be6d right now) → install into hicolor. Want me to go ahead and build this (including the one-time pacman -S potrace on the VM)? ✻ Churned for 6m 17s · done Thursday 17:51 ❯ yes ● Bash(for t in rsvg-convert convert potrace python3; do printf "%-15s" "$t"; command -v $t || echo "NOT FOUND (host)"; done) ⎿  rsvg-convert /usr/bin/rsvg-convert convert /usr/bin/convert potrace /usr/bin/potrace python3 /usr/bin/python3 ❯ Maybe the adapted SVGs have to be stored locally in scripts/ so that we can copy everything to another cachy installation? ● Good instinct — that also makes the heavy tracing work (which needs potrace + the real installed app icons) a one-time cost, separate from the lightweight "install onto a target" step. Let me restructure around that before writing code, and check the wallpaper-switch script to see where to hook in the recolor step.

Since the launcher/tray icons don't re-colorize at render time the way the status-bar buttons do (confirmed earlier: no MultiEffect/colorize there), the accent has to be baked into each icon's SVG file directly. So every time the accent changes, those files need to be re-stamped or they'll go stale and show the previous theme's color. Hooking 11-deploy-icon-theme.sh onto the end of 06-switch-wallpaper.sh makes that automatic — switch wallpaper, icons follow, no separate manual step to remember. If you'd rather keep it decoupled (e.g. because deploy adds a few seconds to every wallpaper switch, or you want to review before pushing), I can pull that hook back out and leave it as a separate manual step instead — your call. ✻ Worked for 8m 53s · done Thursday 18:00 ❯ Keep it automatic, that's fine ● Update(README.md) ⎿  Added 7 lines 11 - **06-switch-wallpaper.sh** — switches the ML4W/Hyprland wallp aper (VM or `--local`) and lets matugen regenerate the whole co lor theme from it. 12 - **07-fix-ml4w-icon-color.sh** — fixes the "ml." status-bar ic on's idle/hover colors to follow the active color scheme instea d of ML4W's fixed brand cyan. 13 - **08-set-tux-statusbar-icon.sh** — replaces the "ml." status- bar icon with a Tux penguin silhouette, keeping the same click behavior and theme-driven coloring. 14 +- **09-build-icon-style-guide.sh** — analyzes `../svg_samples/* +.svg` and writes `../svg_samples/style_guide.json` (monochrome/ +flat/stroke-free fractions, padding inset, potrace alphamax), t +he spec the icon generator below conforms to.

Summary of what's built and verified on the VM: Scripts added (scripts/09 → 11, plus scripts/lib/*.py): - 09-build-icon-style-guide.sh — measured svg_samples/ (101 icons): 100% monochrome/flat/stroke-free, ~0% padding, fully-rounded thin shapes → svg_samples/style_guide.json. - 10-generate-app-icons.sh [--vm|--local] [--force |--force-all] — resolves every app-launcher and tray candidate (191 desktop entries + curated tray list) via the real icon lookup chain on the target, traces/strips each into a flat silhouette per the style guide, and saves the result into this repo at generated_icons/silhouettes/*.svg (176 of them, 804K total) + generated_icons/manifest.json — so the expensive tracing is a one-time cost, portable to a future install. - 11-deploy-icon-theme.sh [--vm|--local] — stamps the target's live accent color into the cached silhouettes (host-side only) and pushes them in one shot into ~/.local/share/icons/{hicolor,breeze-dark}/. No potrace needed for this step at all. - Wired automatically into 06-switch-wallpaper.sh, so every wallpaper/accent change re-tints the icon set. Real-world wrinkles found and handled along the way: - The configured GTK theme (kora) and rofi's hardcoded launcher theme (Tela-circle-dracula) are both not fully installed system-wide — lookups bottom out on hicolor/breeze/breeze-dark in practice, which is where icons actually needed to go. - breeze inverts the standard icon-theme layout (status/16/ instead of 16x16/status/) — the resolver now tries both orderings. - A .desktop entry with an absolute-path Icon= (gpsd) is correctly skipped — that case can never be intercepted by a theme overlay regardless. - Confirmed in the file content: Firefox's icon and network-wireless's icon are now flat #f1be6d (the current accent) silhouettes, no leftover placeholders anywhere. - 13 niche icons (blueman tray states, a couple of KDE-specific ones) stay unresolved for now — visible in the script's output each run, and --force lets you retry any of them once a fix or new source is available. The known limitation already documented in 07-fix-ml4w-icon-color.sh's comments still applies: tray icons sent as raw pixmaps over D-Bus (rather than a themed name) can't be intercepted by any icon-theme overlay — that's a protocol limit, not something this pipeline can work around. ✻ Baked for 8m 2s · done Thursday 18:09 ❯ How do I use it? Do I have to restart the VM? ● Good question — let me check exactly how the live Quickshell session (the one rendering the tray/status bar) can be refreshed, since that determines whether you need to restart anything. ● Bash(ssh abaumann@192.168.1.135 bash -s <<'EOF' echo "=== how quickshell is started (hyprland autostart) ==="…) ⎿  === how quickshell is started (hyprland autostart) === /home/abaumann/.config/hypr/conf/autostart.lua /home/abaumann/.config/hypr/conf/environment.lua … +16 lines (ctrl+o to expand) ● Bash(ssh abaumann@192.168.1.135 bash -s <<'EOF' echo "=== ml4w-dock qml files ==="…) ⎿  === ml4w-dock qml files === /home/abaumann/.local/share/ml4w-dock/DockApp/DockItem.qml /home/abaumann/.local/share/ml4w-dock/DockApp/DockLauncherButton.qml … +31 lines (ctrl+o to expand) ● Bash(ssh abaumann@192.168.1.135 bash -s <<'EOF' echo "=== ml4w-autostart relevant lines ==="…) ⎿  === ml4w-autostart relevant lines === 37:# settings here so a manual run of this script still themes the doc k icons. … +52 lines (ctrl+o to expand) ● No VM restart needed — just the Quickshell session (dock/status-bar/overview), and that's because I found something I missed earlier: there's an actual dock (ml4w-dock, launched separately from the status bar I investigated before) that's almost certainly what you meant by "Firefox in the bottom bar." It shows app icons via desktopEntry.iconSource — a standard icon-theme lookup, so our hicolor/breeze-dark overlay does reach it. Day-to-day usage, run from this host (not on the VM): - New app installed → ./10-generate-app-icons.sh --vm (idempotent — only traces icons it hasn't seen or that changed) → ./11-deploy-icon-theme.sh --vm to install them. Or just not touch anything: the icon simply stays its original color until you run these. - Unhappy with one icon → ./10-generate-app-icons.sh --vm --force then ./11-deploy-icon-theme.sh --vm. - Wallpaper/accent change → nothing to do, 06-switch-wallpaper.sh already calls 11-deploy-icon-theme.sh automatically. Why "no VM restart" needs a caveat: rofi/Walker (the launcher) re-scans the icon theme fresh every time you open it, so those icons update the instant you reopen the launcher — no action needed. But the dock, status bar, and overview are long-running Quickshell processes that may have already cached the old icon lookups in memory; new/changed files on disk won't retroactively repaint an icon that's already on screen. This profile has its own clean restart for exactly that, used by ml4w-autostart itself: ssh abaumann@192.168.1.135 '~/.config/ml4w/scripts/ml4w-autostart' That kills and relaunches all three qs instances (dock, overview, statusbar/settings) cleanly — no Hyprland or VM restart involved, just a ~1-second blink of those bars. Want me to wire that restart into 11-deploy-icon-theme.sh automatically too, so you never have to run it by hand?

What happened: Fixing the kora-shadowing issue by overriding icons at their exact resolved path caused 10/11 to overwrite 151 of kora's own icon files in place, under ~/.local/share/icons/kora/apps/scalable/. I didn't realize at the time that this location is user-writable, not a root-owned system path — unlike hicolor/breeze-dark (which are safely shadowed via a separate user-local layer on top of the untouched /usr/share/icons/... originals), kora's only copy was already user-local, so writing the override there destroyed the originals with no backup taken first. Scope of the damage: I checked for a way back — - No kora-icon-theme package in the official repos, and no AUR helper (yay/paru) installed to check AUR. - No snapper snapshots or btrfs snapshots cover /home (only / is snapshotted on this VM) — so there's no filesystem-level undo. - Visually spot-checking 12 of the 151: a few (Firefox, audio-volume-high) traced fine, because their source art actually used alpha transparency. But most of kora's icons are drawn as a solid colored "badge" (rounded square/circle) with a glyph on top, both fully opaque — my alpha-threshold tracing can't tell badge from glyph in that case, so it just traced the outer badge and collapsed icons like Alacritty, Ark, Bluetooth, battery, and dialog-error into solid blobs (visible in the contact sheet above). The underlying algorithm bug is fixable — detect the dominant/background color and strip it before alpha-extraction, which would correctly isolate badge-style glyphs too — but that fix can't repair the 151 already-overwritten files, since their true source art is gone. I'd like your call on how to proceed: ● User answered Claude's questions: ⎿  · 151 of kora's own icon files were overwritten with no backup (some degraded to solid blobs).

Looking at the launcher: Firefox (dock) and Alacritty now trace beautifully — recognizable glyphs in the accent orange. But Ark and Bildbetrachter came out as hollow orange outlines (better than the earlier solid blobs, but still not real glyph detail), and Bluetooth-Adapter wasn't touched at all (its actual icon name apparently isn't one we resolved). This is the honest state of automated tracing: icons drawn as a simple glyph (Firefox, Alacritty, network icons) trace well; icons drawn as a solid colored badge plus an equally-opaque glyph on top (Ark, Bildbetrachter) are a fundamentally hard case for silhouette extraction — my dominant-color fix helps but doesn't fully solve it. I don't think chasing this further has great returns without a different approach (e.g., per-icon manual curation, which you already ruled out for scope reasons). Where things stand: - ✅ Data-loss risk is closed: all 151 kora originals restored from the verified upstream repo, and every deploy now backs up any pre-existing file before first touching it (1,847 backed up this run, under ~/.config/timhyperland-icons/original-icons-backup/). - ✅ Firefox, Alacritty, network/volume icons etc. look genuinely good in the launcher and dock. - ⚠️ Badge-style icons (Ark, Bildbetrachter, some others) trace poorly — outlines or blobs, not usable glyphs. Want me to add a quality gate that detects a degenerate trace (near-full-canvas blob/outline) and skips installing it — leaving that specific icon in its original color rather than a bad silhouette — or are you fine leaving it as is for now? ✻ Worked for 6m 4s · done Thursday 19:05 ❯ Can you generate a patch scripts which restores to the original icons. ● Good call — let's build this properly.

Restoring from that backup would put back our own first-pass output, not a true original.

So "generate icon images" isn't realistic here. But there's a better-fitting use: our actual failure mode (Ark, Bildbetrachter) is that a colored "badge" shape and a white glyph on top are both fully opaque, so pixel-based tracing can't tell them apart. SVG source is just text — I can feed qwen2.5-coder:7b the original SVG's elements (not pixels) and ask it to classify which ones are background-badge vs. foreground-glyph, then let our existing deterministic code strip the background and recolor the rest. That's a much safer job for a 7B model than generating new path geometry (LLMs mangle precise numeric path data; classifying existing elements by id doesn't touch that data at all), and it only needs to run once, on this host, to populate generated_icons/ — exactly matching your "no AI on the final machine" requirement.

Bluetooth-Adapter unchanged (never resolved to begin with). Bildbetrachter (→ org.gnome.Loupe) is still a flat blob — the model's selection was geometrically valid (so it passed validation) but semantically picked the wrong element; validation guards against corruption, not against a wrong-but-legitimate choice. Summary of the run: 43 of 60 degenerate icons refined with strict validation, 14 safely rejected (geometry mismatch, kept a gradient, timeout, invalid XML — all left untouched, zero corruption risk), 3 skipped (PNG-only sources, no SVG to reason over). Two real bugs fixed along the way: ssh was silently eating the fetch loop's stdin (only 1 of 25 sources was ever being fetched), and the degenerate-detection metric needed to measure fill-density within the shape's own bounding box rather than raw canvas coverage to actually catch hollow outlines like Ark's. Everything here ran once on eurobuild6 and is now cached in generated_icons/silhouettes/ — the VM needed no AI at all, just the deploy step.

It should handle Ark/Bildbetrachter-style icons far more robustly than silhouette extraction.

For Ark and Alacritty, which already traced fine, duotone still looks good, just richer/shaded rather than flat. The real tradeoff: it's a different aesthetic than svg_samples establishes (flat single-tone glyphs) — duotone keeps badge shapes visible, just recolored, rather than reducing everything to a bare silhouette. It's also architecturally simpler: no potrace, no LLM, not even a VM round-trip for tracing — just rasterize the original and remap lightness onto the accent's tonal ramp (I used primary_container/on_primary_container from the live matugen palette as the two stops, so it's automatically coherent with the rest of the theme). Want me to switch the pipeline to duotone as the primary strategy (likely retiring potrace/LLM-refine almost entirely), or keep both and use duotone only where the flat trace fails? ✻ Crunched for 3m 56s · done Thursday 20:48 ❯ Where can I see those? ● The link in my last message should be clickable, but here it is as plain text in case it didn't render: ⧉ https://claude.ai/code/artifact/898c6a99-d891-498c-91ed-57406c6086ab If that doesn't open it, two other ways from the terminal: - Press ctrl+] to reopen the most recent artifact from this session. - Run /artifacts to list everything published this session (press o on an entry to open it in your browser, c to copy its link). ✻ Cooked for 6s · done Thursday 20:51 ❯ Ok, let's try the dual-tone.

Bildbetrachter (previously an unfixable flat blob even with LLM help) now shows a fully recognizable magnifying glass over a mountain scene. Ark, Alacritty, and Firefox all show rich tonal shading with visible detail instead of flat silhouettes. Summary of what it took to get here: the raster CLUT approach looked right in isolated tests but failed silently in rofi's actual icon list (embedded base64 data doesn't render there, confirmed via an A/B test with a plain solid-color SVG). I rebuilt it as pure vector — each original element recolored by its own lightness, real / shapes with solid fills, no embedded raster — which renders everywhere. Along the way I also hit and fixed a second issue: the generator was fetching "original" sources from paths our own earlier deploys had already overwritten in place; it now prefers the pristine copy in original-icons-backup/ first. Current state: 166 of 176 icons got the vector treatment, 10 fell back to the raster+CLUT method (no usable vector fill found), and the VM is now running the full duotone theme live.

For SVG-sourced icons (most of them, via `kora`), produces +a **pure vector** master in `../generated_icons/duotone_vector/ +` — each element's fill replaced with a lightness placeholder, +no embedded raster. PNG-sourced icons fall back to a grayscale- +with-alpha raster master in `../generated_icons/duotone/`. Reus +es the manifest `10` already built rather than re-resolving can +didates; **always fetches original source art via the backup di +rectory first** (falling back to `source_path`), since `source_ +path` can itself point at a file an earlier deploy already over +wrote in place (e.g. `kora`) — ingesting our own prior output w +ould corrupt the next pass. One-time expensive step, cached int +o this repo. 20 +- **15-deploy-duotone-theme.sh** — colorizes the cached duotone + masters with the target's live palette (`primary_container` → +`on_primary_container` by default) and installs them, same back +up-before-overwrite safety net and Quickshell restart as `11`. +The vector masters are installed as real SVG (scalable slot + e +xact override + rendered raster mirrors); an embedded-base64-PN +G-in-SVG approach was tried first and is why this is vector-onl +y now — it rendered fine standalone (`rsvg-convert`, `GdkPixbuf +`) but silently failed in rofi's own icon list (confirmed with +an A/B test).

Final state: - Live on the VM: duotone theme deployed — 166 icons as pure vector (recolored by original lightness), 10 as raster fallback, including the previously-broken Bildbetrachter now fully recognizable. - Cached in the repo (generated_icons/, 1.7MB): vector + raster masters, portable to a future install with no AI/potrace needed at deploy time. - 06-switch-wallpaper.sh now re-tints via duotone (15) on every wallpaper switch, matching what's actually live. - Flat-silhouette scripts (10/11/13) stay in place as the alternative method, documented as superseded but functional.

Let me close rofi and give you the two root causes. ● Bash(sudo virsh -c qemu:///system send-key cachyos --codeset linux KEY_ESC 2>&1) ⎿  (No output) ● CachyOS Hello's blue dots: the icon isn't pure vector — kora draws three tiny decorative dots as embedded raster elements (base64 PNG, clipped to circles), not real SVG shapes. Our vector tagger only recolors drawable shape elements (path, rect, circle, etc.) — it has no handling for at all, so those three dots pass through untouched at their original bright teal color while the rest of the logo (which is real vector shapes) gets properly duotoned. Confirmed in the live SVG source — the badge/hexagon shapes carry our colors, the three tags still hold the original PNG bytes. xgps's Tux penguin: different cause entirely — its .desktop file sets Icon=/usr/share/gpsd/icons/gpsd-logo.png, a hardcoded absolute path, not an icon name. The app loads that exact file directly, bypassing icon-theme lookup entirely — no theme override can intercept it. This is actually the same gpsd icon our pipeline flagged as "unresolvable" all the way back at the start (it shows up as a skip in every generation run). It's a structural limitation of how that app is packaged, not a bug in our theming. Both are fixable, with different amounts of work: - The dots: extend the vector tagger to also recolor content (resample its average lightness, treat it like any other element) — moderate, touches the core tagging logic. - xgps: since we know the exact absolute path, we could add a new override mode that directly recolors files at Icon=-hardcoded absolute paths too, the same way we already override exact theme paths — smaller, additive change, but a new category of the pipeline we've deliberately excluded until now. Want me to fix one or both? ✻ Churned for 2m 6s · done 8:37 ❯ Fix both ● I'll implement both.

Doesn't touch `generated_icons/` in t his repo, so re-theming afterward is just `./15-deploy-duotone- theme.sh` again. Safe to rerun any time. 18 - **13-llm-refine-icons.sh** — fixes up icons `10`'s flat-silho uette trace got wrong (a colored badge drawn UNDER an equally-o paque glyph, which alpha-threshold tracing can't separate) by a sking a local coder LLM (Ollama, `qwen2.5-coder:7b` by default) to structurally pick glyph elements over the badge, strictly v alidated byte-for-byte against the original so a bad response i s always a safe no-op. Runs only on this host (eurobuild6, the one place Ollama is installed) — its output is cached into `gen erated_icons/silhouettes/` like everything else, so the deploye d machine never needs AI. Mostly superseded by the duotone meth od (`14`/`15`), which sidesteps the badge/glyph problem entirel y; kept for the flat-silhouette method. 19 - **14-generate-duotone-icons.sh** — the current default genera tion method: recolors each icon by its own original lightness/s hading onto a two-stop accent gradient, instead of reducing it to one flat color — see the comparison this was built from: htt ps://claude.ai/code/artifact/898c6a99-d891-498c-91ed-57406c6086 ab. For SVG-sourced icons (most of them, via `kora`), produces a **pure vector** master in `../generated_icons/duotone_vector/ ` — each element's fill replaced with a lightness placeholder, no embedded raster. PNG-sourced icons fall back to a grayscale- with-alpha raster master in `../generated_icons/duotone/`. Reus es the manifest `10` already built rather than re-resolving can didates; **always fetches original source art via the backup di rectory first** (falling back to `source_path`), since `source_ path` can itself point at a file an earlier deploy already over wrote in place (e.g. `kora`) — ingesting our own prior output w ould corrupt the next pass.
