The AppIcon asset shipped as just a Contents.json with no image files, so the app bundled no icon. It stayed invisible because a menu-bar (LSUIElement) app has no Dock or Cmd+Tab presence - until the Settings window flips the app to .regular, which then showed a blank icon in both.

Generated the mac icon set from the 1024px source and wired it into Contents.json. Verified AppIcon.icns compiles into the bundle, and 247 tests still pass.

No release in this PR: the version, changelog, and download links stay at v1.2.0 so the live site keeps working. This ships as v1.2.1 whenever you cut it.

AppIcon.appiconset shipped with only its Contents.json and no image files, so the app bundled no icon. A menu-bar (LSUIElement) app has no Dock or Cmd+Tab presence normally, so this stayed invisible until opening Settings flips the app to .regular, which then showed a blank icon in Cmd+Tab and the Dock. Generate the mac icon sizes from the 1024px source and reference them from Contents.json. Verified: AppIcon.icns now compiles into the bundle.
