The V-viewfinder was approved during the favicon-v2 picker at
/v2/, then deployed prematurely (e7b9756) and reverted (81effca) after
the 'design pick is not a deploy command' lesson. Deploying it now with
explicit go-ahead.
Files: yellow V outline with the Camogli harbor visible inside, navy
field outside. Replaces the split-W (two Vs forming a W) across:
- favicon-16/32/64
- apple-touch-icon (180)
- icon-192 + icon-512 manifest icons
- icon-512-maskable (V at 65% safe zone)
- favicon.svg vector
- favicon.ico multi-res
- root-level apple-touch-icon{,-precomposed}.png for iOS fallback paths
Cache-bust query bumped to ?v=20260515-vviewfinder so browsers refetch.

Picked 3a from the favicons-and-logo-v2 iteration: a yellow V cut out of
navy with the harbor photo visible inside — "you are looking at a
photograph framed by the V". The brand's own glyph rather than initials.
What changed:
- favicon-16 / -32 / -64 / icon-192 / icon-512 / apple-touch-icon (180):
V at 86% of canvas, navy outside, full center-cropped harbor inside,
yellow stroke-outlined border proportional to size.
- icon-512-maskable: V at 65% of canvas (inside the Android safe zone),
navy in the outer 35% so circle/squircle launcher masks crop navy
pixels, not the V.
- favicon.svg: lightweight vector — yellow V outline on navy, no embedded
photo (kept under 300 bytes so it's fast even before the build cache).
- favicon.ico: multi-resolution 16/32/64 for legacy clients.
Root-level fallbacks (public/apple-touch-icon.png + -precomposed +
favicon.{svg,ico}) updated in lock-step so iOS's Add-to-Home-Screen
probes pick up the new icon without falling back to a cached old one.

iOS Safari's Add-to-Home-Screen flow probes /apple-touch-icon.png at the
site root in addition to the <link rel> on the page. Those root paths
currently 302 through Symfony's auth firewall to /login, so iOS gets HTML
where it expects a PNG and falls back to whatever it cached from earlier
installs (the 1 KB placeholder icon). Dropping the real PNG (and the
-precomposed alias) directly in public/ makes nginx serve them as static
files, ahead of the firewall.
Also adds favicon.svg and a multi-size favicon.ico at the root for
browsers/bots that probe / paths instead of reading <link>, and adds
sizes="180x180" to every apple-touch-icon link so iOS doesn't have to
guess.
