kuhyx bd725b21b7 app_icons: add a decision-tree glyph and register untools 
The new ~/untools app (guided thinking tools) needs a family launcher icon
rather than the stock Flutter beach one.

The glyph is one node branching into two -- "decompose a problem into parts",
which is the move every one of the app's 25 frameworks makes in some form.
Nodes are hollow rings rather than filled dots so the 72px stroke leaves
visible interior at icon size.

A two-level, seven-node tree was drawn first and rejected on the generator's
own evidence: it reported the glyph overflowing the 560px safe box by
~170x162px, and rendering confirmed the doubled connectors closed up into a
solid mass at launcher size. One clean split survives the mask and still reads
as a hierarchy. Branch spread was then narrowed to clear a residual 44px.

linux=False for this app: its desktop build is the web build in a Chrome
--app window, so there is no GTK app to hand a hicolor PNG to.

Also whitelists com.kuhy.untools in phone_focus_mode/config.sh. That entry is
source-of-truth only -- the current Pixel 6a is not rooted, has no
/data/local/tmp/focus_mode and no running daemon, so nothing was pushed to the
device and no app is being killed there. Kept for the rooted BL9000 phone.

Verified: 44 app_icons tests pass with the package at 100% coverage; the
generator emits 6 assets with no safe-box warning; the rendered icon was
inspected and matches the family; and the resulting APK installed and stayed
alive on 23181JEGR08034.

README.md

app_icons — shared launcher icons for the Flutter apps

One icon family across every Flutter/Dart app: a charcoal #211D1B field with a single glyph in the shared unified-design-system accent (#B8862E), drawn at one stroke weight and optically centred so a row of them lines up.

Commands

# what is registered
PYTHONPATH=~/testsAndMisc python3 -m python_pkg.app_icons list

# contact sheet for visual review: full size / circle-masked / 48dp
PYTHONPATH=~/testsAndMisc python3 -m python_pkg.app_icons preview -o /tmp/sheet.png

# write assets into every app repo and rebuild the Android mipmaps
PYTHONPATH=~/testsAndMisc python3 -m python_pkg.app_icons generate --android

# one app, plus the hicolor PNGs for a Linux desktop target
PYTHONPATH=~/testsAndMisc python3 -m python_pkg.app_icons \
    generate --app todo --android --linux-out ~/todo/linux/icons

What gets written

Per app, into <repo>/assets/icon/:

Layer Purpose
icon Charcoal field + glyph. Legacy square launcher icon and Linux icon.
icon_foreground Glyph only, transparent. Adaptive-icon foreground layer.
icon_monochrome Glyph only, white. Android 13+ themed icons.

Both an .svg source and a 1024px .png are written for each, so a build never needs rsvg-convert. flutter_launcher_icons then turns the PNGs into the density buckets and mipmap-anydpi-v26/ic_launcher.xml.

Design constraints that bite

  • Negative space ≥ half the stroke weight. Strokes closer than that merge into a solid blob at launcher size. A fork whose tines sat exactly one stroke width apart rendered as a tulip.
  • Ink must stay inside the 560px safe box. Android masks adaptive icons to roughly the inner 66% of the canvas. generate warns when a glyph overflows.
  • Stroked outlines can read wrong. A stroked three-tine fork reads as a trident; a filled fork-and-knife pair reads as cutlery. Prefer a filled silhouette when the outline is ambiguous.
  • Glyph positioning inside the fragment is irrelevant — render.centre_offset measures the rendered ink and recentres it. Only the extents matter.

Adding an app

See the app-icon skill (~/.claude/skills/app-icon/SKILL.md) for the full procedure. In short: add a glyph to glyphs.py, register the app in apps.py, wire flutter_launcher_icons into its pubspec.yaml, generate, review the contact sheet, then verify on the phone.

Tests

cd ~/testsAndMisc
python3 -m pytest python_pkg/app_icons --cov=python_pkg.app_icons \
    --cov-report=term-missing

External tools (rsvg-convert, magick, dart) are mocked; the suite needs none of them installed.
