Give the app an icon, and a script that installs it
The launcher pointed at `Icon=story-editor`, a name that only the Breeze theme happened to ship, and only at 16 and 22 px -- so anywhere the desktop wanted a larger icon it fell back to something generic. assets/md-manuscript.svg is the source: a sheaf of manuscript pages, an amber chapter-title line over three of prose. Drawn in plain rounded rectangles because a finer design silts up into a grey smear at 16 px. It is rasterised to the eight sizes a desktop asks for, and the 256px PNG is compiled into the binary as the window icon, so the title bar and the task switcher carry it whether or not anything is installed. That costs no new dependency: eframe already pulls `image` with png decoding. A test decodes the bundled PNG, since a rename would otherwise show up only as a blank icon at runtime. Installation is now `./assets/install.sh` -- binary, icons, launcher and both cache refreshes, safe to re-run after a rebuild. The launcher is a file in the repository rather than a here-document in the instructions: pasting one into a terminal leaves the shell sat at a `>` prompt waiting for a terminator that never arrives, which is exactly what happened, and this way the launcher is versioned along with everything else.
