Subject: [PATCH] Fix missing icons in installed builds: publish the brand
 assets
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

beta.14 shipped with blank splash/About icons and no window icon: the
brand SVG and .ico were <Content> without copy metadata, so `dotnet build`
(WinUI targets) copied them to bin — masking the problem locally — but
`dotnet publish` (the Velopack release path, unpackaged, no MSIX packaging
step) copied no Assets at all, so ms-appx:///Assets/Brand/gclo-icon.svg
and AppWindow.SetIcon found nothing.

Add CopyToOutputDirectory=PreserveNewest to the brand svg + ico so they
reach both build AND publish output. Verified: a release-configuration
`dotnet publish` now contains Assets/Brand/{gclo-icon.svg,gclo.ico}, and
the published exe renders the vector splash icon and the title-bar icon.
