Desired improvement

Use the Photos Icon set from https://iconarchive.com/show/osx-dock-replacement-icons-by-alienvalley/photos-icon.html to set an executable icon, title-bar icon, and git project icon/avatar. Download the full set of size variants into the repo. Track attribution in an appropriate attributions doc in the docs/ directory as well as a section / note at the end of the user guide.

Implemented on branch 0.1.22/issue-51-app-icon.

Assets

Downloaded Photos icon PNG variants (16–512 px) into resources/icons/app/
Generated multi-resolution resources/icons/app.ico for Windows Nuitka builds (existing --windows-icon-from-ico path)
Added resources/icons/repo-avatar.png (512 px) as the canonical repository avatar source

Application wiring

main.py sets QApplication.setWindowIcon() from bundled PNG variants (title bar + taskbar on Linux/Windows)
Packaging self-test and verify-packaged-build.sh now check application icon assets

Attribution

docs/ATTRIBUTIONS.md documents AlienValley / OSX Yosemite Icons license and links
resources/help/USER_GUIDE.md includes a Credits section

Note: Upload resources/icons/repo-avatar.png in the forge repository settings to apply the project avatar in the UI.
