Owner request

Create a better MarkdownViewr icon, closer to gclo's visual language, while remaining recognizable as a Markdown viewer.

Acceptance

Inspect gclo's current brand assets and AppKit's existing brand-generation conventions before designing.
Produce a distinct Markdown/document-viewing mark consistent with the Kof app family; review the candidate with the owner before adopting it.
Retain editable source artwork and generate the required Windows icon/brand assets using the existing pipeline.
Check clarity at small title-bar, taskbar and Explorer sizes, plus light/dark backgrounds and required high-resolution sizes.
Apply the accepted design consistently to window/taskbar branding, splash, About, installer and registered file types where the current packaging supports them.
Preserve correct channels/application identities and upstream/license attributions.
Verify actual installed-shell and application appearance; asset generation alone is not visual acceptance.

Related: #25, #24, #14, #1. Recorded during paused owner review; artwork, implementation and acceptance pending.

Signed/DCO0ed608e is pushed to PR#3. Separate stable/dev package IDs and actual installed-channel title/data/log identities are implemented, with edition-aware isolated fixtures. Distinct navy Markdown icon is generated through AppKit BrandTool;9 ICO frames validated and256px visually inspected. WinUI3 source-project MIT credit is included while full proprietary package notices remain distributed.

Current local gates: zero-warning Release,586 core tests/100% measured lines,format,55 script tests,two changed-script analyzer partitions and normal signing/DCO/secret/workflow hooks pass. Current native/distributed/installed acceptance remains pending;0eb3a0e previously failed25/97 native cases and published timing. Azure trust must use the verified immutable repository subject. Precise administrator actions are documented; no actual Azure/signature or release-completion claim.
