Retire the mask icon for Clyde
The tab icon and the home-screen icon are still the hooded mask, and the site has moved on to the family.
The hooded mask belongs to an older idea of the site. With the family in place, the site is upbeat, and Clyde is already its face on Facebook and GitHub.
What changes

What the tests already showed
The Facebook portrait of Clyde scaled straight down holds up at 32px: a warm sunburst with two eyes. At 16px, tab size, the eyes turn to mush and he becomes an orange blob on a pale blue square. So the icon needs a purpose-made version, not the portrait shrunk:
- His head only, cut out, with no sky behind it.
- Flatter colour and heavier eyes, so it stays readable at 16px.
Test it at 16px and 32px before accepting, per the icon rule in CLAUDE.md.
What was done
GPT drew Clyde's head as a flat icon on a transparent background. Trimmed and squared, it holds at 32px on white and on dark, and at 16px it is still a sunburst with two eyes.
icon.png: 256px, indexed, transparent.apple-icon.png: 180px on white, because iOS fills transparency with black.
The mask was used nowhere else. Google shows the new icon next to results only after it re-crawls, so the mask may linger there for a while.
