+  # monochrome sets because coverage beats library size: it is the only one
+  # still shipping commits, so it has the apps actually installed here

+  # so the "build" is a copy into the directory name the spec resolves by.

+  # FollowsColorScheme=true is a KDE key: only Plasma rewrites the embedded
+  # <style id="current-color-scheme"> block. Anywhere else — quickshell and
+  # GTK here — the icons render at that block's literal fallback, #d8dee9,
+  # a cool light grey that reads on every wallpaper's dark bar. Tinting per
+  # wallpaper would mean a sed over all 6101 files per theme, so the app
+  # icons deliberately stay one fixed colour while the folders track.
