What changed

Artwork upstream is a side effect of running a Dev or Nightly build. MT Code ships one release, so artwork becomes a choice.

  • Appearance → Sidebar artwork: Match the build (upstream's behaviour), None, Night sky, Blueprint, or one of your own images.
  • Your own artwork syncs. It lives in server settings, so it follows the account to every client attached to it — desktop, browser, phone — instead of sitting in one device's local storage. Deleting one leaves the header bare rather than quietly falling back to a scene nobody picked.

Brand, while here:

  • MT Model wears the Munim mark instead of a generic sparkle.
  • The Chrome extension is "MT Code Desktop Control" with MT icons.
  • Notification copy names the running app.
  • The hosted build stamps the same single version the installers do, instead of the checked-in package version.

Why

Sheehan wanted the artwork back after the nightly channel was dropped, with the option to add his own and have it follow him across machines.

Builds on upstream's artwork toggle (pingdotgg#4652), which only hides Dev/Nightly art and is invisible on a release build.

Checks

  • vp run -r typecheck clean
  • vp test run green for the touched web suites (208 tests), including new coverage for the selection resolver

ships one release, so artwork becomes a choice:

- Appearance → Sidebar artwork picks "Match the build" (upstream's behaviour),
  None, Night sky, Blueprint, or one of your own images.
- Your own artwork lives in server settings, so it follows the account to every
  client attached to it - desktop, browser, phone - instead of sitting in one
  device's local storage. Deleting one leaves the header bare rather than
  quietly falling back to a scene nobody picked.

the Chrome extension is "MT Code Desktop Control" with MT icons, notification
copy names the running app, and the hosted build stamps the same single
version the installers do instead of the checked-in package version.
