The last two passes at the avatar — a flat theme disc, then a bare mark
painted in the brand colour — each gave something up the solid disc had:
the flat disc lost the hue that tells one agent from another down a
column of rows, and the bare mark read lighter and less settled than the
disc beside the status dot. Neither was better than where it started.
Back to a solid fill of the agent's brand with the mark in its own ink,
and the hairline `needs_edge` adds for Codex and Grok's pure black on a
dark window. The shell avatar goes back to its muted disc. `mark_ink`
goes with the style it served; the toolbar changes from the same PR stay.
