User installs failed with 'resvg-py is missing' because the web/desktop
source builds rendered icons on whatever python was on PATH. The default
brand outputs are now committed; source_build, apps/desktop build.mjs and
the npm/docusaurus pre-hooks consume them directly. Flavored release
bundles (canary/commit) still render into their own product dir.
icons-freshness-check now regenerates and fails on any byte diff.
Competing installers and checkout-local venv assumptions bypassed PM
selection, install consent, and generation lifetimes. Route consumers
through PM and installation-bound launchers. Refresh source launchers
before obsolete Python entries can be collected.
Remove Node, browser, and CUA acquisition engines, obsolete venv-holder
handling, detached sync, and unused PM APIs. Keep historical updater
exports inert and preserve external tool ownership and native integration.
Share product freshness and prepared inputs across builders. Align plugin
admission, Docker provisioning, setup instructions, and behavioral tests.
Verified targeted Python and JavaScript tests, desktop and web typechecks,
scoped lint, real product builds, and the Docker frontend smoke test.
The missed post-setup test cleanup is included and verified.
Native Windows/macOS execution, full Rust compilation, and the complete
repository suite remain unverified. Historical compatibility requirements
were preserved and extended, not fully rescanned.
