todo-app/desktop/install_desktop_entry.sh

#!/bin/bash

# ============================================================================
# Install the todo launcher icon and .desktop entry for the Linux desktop.
#
# The desktop app is a Flutter *web* build shown in a Chrome app window (the
# Linux embedder manages only ~20fps at 4K — see
# docs/desktop-performance-findings.md), so the launcher starts the wrapper,
# which serves the build and opens the browser.
#
# Icon PNGs are pre-rendered and committed under desktop/icons/, so this script
# needs no image tooling at run time. Regenerate them with:
#   PYTHONPATH=~/testsAndMisc python3 -m python_pkg.app_icons \
#       generate --app todo --linux-out desktop/icons
# ============================================================================
