Walked on raven at `a1caa86c` (the Android artifact of this tip: the two commits after it touch `app-web` only, so the APK md5 is unchanged — `a1caa86c47894a9751ee4854adb06eee`, read at both ends, one staircase package throughout).
1. **Launcher and drawer**: Step with its door open on paper, whole under the circular mask — steps, door, both hands, the knock marks — and the same icon above the long-press shortcut popup.
2. **Themed icons**: Android 17 has moved them to Wallpaper & style › Icons › **Minimal**, and they apply to the home screen rather than the app drawer, which is why the first look appeared to show nothing. With the app on the home screen the new monochrome layer draws the whole drawing tinted to the wallpaper. Before this branch there was no monochrome layer at all.
3. **Splash**, recorded through a cold start and read frame by frame: the drawing on paper in light. **In dark it was a full-screen flash of `#F8F6F0` for about a second before the app drew itself dark** — see below.
4. **Notifications**: the ongoing delivery notification still carries `ic_stat_staircase`, both by resolving the resource id in the APK (`0x7f0800b3` → `drawable/ic_stat_staircase`) and on the shade. Nothing in the diff touches that drawable.
raven is released and left as found: Default icon style, night mode on, nothing added to its home screen, the customization setting back to the exact string it had.
