Valid finding, and fixed in 3fba57e. I took the guarantee without decoding. Base64 encodes three bytes to four characters, so the eight byte PNG signature lands as Schema.isPattern(/^data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGg/),That matters because of where this runs. Two limits worth stating. The check proves the signature, not the rest of the file, so a signature followed by junk still passes. Reaching further means parsing IHDR and the chunk CRCs, which is a decoder on the hot path, and the failure it would catch is an image that draws as broken rather than one that is a different file type. And this is no longer a check on the client supplied MIME type at all: the declared type is the writer's claim, and the encoded signature is the evidence. Tests in |

environmentIcon capability shipped |
2026-09-02 |
linux joined the accepted set |
2026-09-06 |
| Nightly tags in that window | 25 |
| Stable releases in that window | 0 |
Each of those 25 nightlies advertises the capability and rejects the string, so picking the Linux glyph against one fails the whole settings patch. You were right about the mechanism.
I kept linux in the frozen list anyway, because taking it out costs more. isLegacyEnvironmentMachineKind gates the picker at EnvironmentIconPicker.logic.ts:51, so dropping the kind locks the Linux glyph on every stable server shipping today, none of which advertise environmentIconOverride. That trades 25 nightly builds for the entire current stable population. The comment on LEGACY_ENVIRONMENT_MACHINE_KINDS now names the window, the count, and the trade instead of claiming the set is clean.
Two other claims in the same pass were wrong and are rewritten rather than defended. The doc said a runtime without Intl.Segmenter counts monograms the same way the exact path does, which is false for a Devanagari conjunct. And it asserted this Hermes build ships no Intl.Segmenter, which nothing in the repo establishes. Both now state what is actually known.
The monogram fallback refused a monogram every other client accepts (4cf340d348)
MonogramText admits ZWJ and ZWNJ in the tail, but the code point fallback in isMonogramLength stripped only combining marks. So "A\u200dB" counted three and the write boundary refused it on any runtime lacking Intl.Segmenter, which is the one runtime the fallback exists for. Strip the joiners too.
The fallback still over-counts a Devanagari conjunct and a decomposed Hangul syllable. Exact clustering needs UAX #29, and that direction only ever refuses, so it can never store text too wide for the tile. The doc comment says that now.
Test added in packages/contracts/src/settings.test.ts. It deletes Intl.Segmenter, runs the four shapes the schema admits through decodeServerSettingsPatch, and restores the property descriptor in a finally.
Icon settings are stripped as a whole value (d367e5c238)
environmentIcon joins ATOMIC_SETTINGS_KEYS in apps/server/src/serverSettings.ts. Outside that set stripDefaultServerSettings recurses field by field, which would write a partial icon object to settings.json, and a partial object is what deepMerge then rebuilds into a hybrid carrying keys from two variants.
No new test. stripDefaultServerSettings is module private, so a direct test would have to mirror the implementation, and the existing persists an environment icon whole and swaps variants without leftovers in apps/server/src/serverSettings.test.ts already reads the raw JSON and asserts a variant swap leaves nothing stale. That test passes today because the default is null and the recursion never runs. The key is what makes it hold once the default is anything else.
Verification
vp test run on the contracts, shared, and server settings files: 166 and 82 tests pass. Typecheck clean on packages/contracts and apps/server.

…d image The `environmentIcon` server setting held one of seven machine kinds, so two generic servers wore the same glyph with no way to tell them apart. Widen it to an `EnvironmentIconOverride` union of a named icon with an optional color, an emoji, a one or two character monogram, and a capped inline PNG or WebP. A bare machine kind still decodes, lifted into the named variant, so settings files and snapshots from older servers keep their pick; a plain pick of a legacy kind still encodes as that string, so older servers accept the patch and older clients decode the snapshot. Anything richer encodes as the object, which older peers drop to null through the existing forward-compatible decoding. One place would have corrupted an object-valued setting. `deepMerge` fuses two variants with different keys into a hybrid, so the patch applier now replaces `environmentIcon` whole. The default stripper is fine as it is, because the field's default is `null` and the stripper only recurses when both sides are objects. A new `environmentIconOverride` capability tells clients the server stores the object form. A monogram is held to two characters in the schema itself. Projects check that bound in the decider; a settings patch has no decider behind it, so the environment contract is the write boundary. The color, emoji, monogram, and Lucide-name leaves move to a shared module that project icons now import, so there is one definition of each. No user-visible change. The web picker writes the named variant and `resolveEnvironmentMachineKind` reads it back, so every renderer still receives a machine kind. Tests cover each variant's round trip, the legacy string in both directions, an unknown variant collapsing to null without failing the snapshot, the merge replacement, and the persisted file after swapping variants. Claude Fable 5.1 via Claude Code
The two-character bound sat inside `EnvironmentIcon`, which is also the decoded form of `EnvironmentIconOverride`, so it ran on every settings snapshot rather than only on a write. Grapheme counting depends on the runtime. `isMonogramLength` uses `Intl.Segmenter` where it exists and strips combining marks otherwise, and the two disagree: "क्षक्ष" counts 2 with a segmenter and 4 without. Hermes ships no segmenter, so a monogram the server accepted could count longer on mobile, fail the decode, and get dropped to null by `ForwardCompatibleNullable`. That client alone would draw the detected glyph, with no way to tell why. The bound moves to `EnvironmentIconOverrideWrite`, used by `ServerSettingsPatch`. Snapshots decode what is stored; writes are checked. Both sibling comments already said this is where the check belongs, in `icon.ts` and in `orchestration.ts`. Also adds the missing encode coverage for `ServerSettingsPatch`. The client-to-server direction was untested, so nothing pinned the behavior that a plain pick of one of the seven legacy kinds still goes out as the bare string an older server accepts. Claude Opus 5 via Claude Code
The pattern accepted `image/webp` as well, which nothing writes. Both clients downscale through a canvas and ask it for PNG, so a WebP value could only arrive by hand-editing `settings.json`. Narrowing it here rather than later keeps the accepted value space equal to the produced one from the first commit that defines the field. The comment also stops overstating the prefix. It is what keeps an SVG out of the `<img>` on web, where Blink picks the decoder from the declared type; mobile's image library sniffs content, so there the guarantee comes from neither renderer having a script engine. And the prefix says nothing about frame count, since APNG declares `image/png`. Claude Opus 5 via Claude Code
…d kinds The encoder wrote an uncoloured named icon as a bare string whenever its name was in `ENVIRONMENT_MACHINE_KINDS`. That list is the set of kinds a server can detect, and it grows. The container kind lands later in this stack. A build that detects a new kind would have encoded it as a string no older peer knows, and `ForwardCompatibleNullable` decodes an unknown string as null, so the user's icon would disappear on the other side. The two sets were equal here, so the bug was latent rather than live. Split them anyway. `LEGACY_ENVIRONMENT_MACHINE_KINDS` is frozen at the seven kinds that have ever had a bare-string wire form, the encoder keys off it, and anything else travels as the object the capability flag already gates. The test asserts the frozen list exactly, so growing it fails rather than silently widening what goes on the wire.
The pattern accepted any run of base64 characters with optional padding, so a truncated upload such as `data:image/png;base64,iVBORw` decoded to nothing and every surface showing that environment drew a broken image. Spell out whole quartets instead. Both clients validate through this schema before writing, so the tighter rule reaches the web canvas path and the mobile manipulator path without either repeating it.
The declared type in an inline data URL is the writer's claim, and nothing downstream checks it. A value spelling "Hello" passed the schema and reached every connected client, which drew a broken image for that environment. Check the encoded signature instead of decoding. Base64 fixes the PNG magic to `iVBORw0KGg` for any PNG whatever its ninth byte, so the guarantee costs one anchored match on a path that runs for every client on every settings change.
…Segmenter `MonogramText` admits ZWJ and ZWNJ in the tail, but the code-point fallback in `isMonogramLength` only stripped combining marks. So "AB" counted three on a runtime lacking `Intl.Segmenter` and the write boundary refused a monogram every other client accepts. Strip the joiners too. The fallback still over-counts a Devanagari conjunct and a decomposed Hangul syllable; exact clustering needs UAX pingdotgg#29. That direction only ever refuses, so it cannot store text too wide for the tile, and the doc comment now says so instead of implying the two branches agree.
`stripDefaultServerSettings` recurses field by field for any key outside `ATOMIC_SETTINGS_KEYS`, so an icon object could persist as a fragment that `deepMerge` then reassembles into a hybrid carrying keys from two variants. Today the `null` default keeps the recursion from ever reaching inside the object, which makes the existing "swaps variants without leftovers" test pass for a reason that would disappear the moment the default stops being `null`. Name the key so the guarantee comes from the set rather than from the default.
All three read as guarantees and none of them hold. The frozen legacy list said a server without `environmentIconOverride` accepts those seven kinds "and nothing else". `linux` is the exception. The `environmentIcon` capability shipped 2026-09-02 and `linux` joined the set 2026-09-06, so 25 nightly builds in between advertise the capability and reject the string. No stable release sits in that window, and dropping `linux` from the list would lock the Linux glyph on every stable server shipping today, so the list stays and the comment names the gap. The write-boundary comment stated as fact that Hermes ships no `Intl.Segmenter`. Nothing in this repo establishes that. The reason the check lives at the write boundary does not depend on it, only on the count differing by runtime. The base64 quartet pattern was described as refusing a truncated value. It refuses the three in four truncations that stop mid-quartet. One that stops on a quartet boundary is still whole base64 with the right signature, and reaches the renderer as a PNG with no pixels.
`isMonogramLength` reached `Intl.Segmenter` through a type assertion that restated the lib declaration. `typeof Intl.Segmenter === "function"` reads the real member and keeps the same guard, so a runtime that defines the property as undefined still takes the code-point fallback. Also rewrites five comments that used a colon as a mid-sentence connector.
`isMonogramLength` used `Intl.Segmenter` where it existed and counted code points otherwise. Hermes ships no segmenter, so the same monogram was accepted on the server and on web and refused on mobile. That divergence is also why `t3code/no-hermes-unsupported-apis` reports the constructor inside `packages/contracts`, at error severity. Counting code points everywhere costs a two-cluster Devanagari or decomposed Hangul monogram, which counts high and gets one cluster. In exchange every client agrees on what it will store. The write schema keeps the bound off decode for the reason that outlives this. A decode-time check would send a longer stored monogram through `ForwardCompatibleNullable` to null, and the user would get the detected glyph with nothing saying why.

What changed
The
environmentIconserver setting held one of seven machine kinds. It now holds anEnvironmentIconOverride: a named icon with an optional color, an emoji, a one or two character monogram, or a capped inline PNG. The color, emoji, monogram, and Lucide-name leaves move to a sharedpackages/contracts/src/icon.tsthat project icons import too, so there is one definition of each.A bare machine kind still decodes, lifted into the named variant, and a plain pick of a legacy kind still encodes as that string. Anything richer encodes as the object, which older peers drop to
nullthrough the existing forward-compatible decoding.One limit comes with that, and it is worth naming before it ships. A rich icon does not survive a server downgrade. The older build decodes the object to
null, thenstripDefaultServerSettingsdrops any value equal to its default, andnullis this field's default, so the nextupdateSettingsrewritessettings.jsonwithout the key. Loading alone is safe, becauseloadSettingsFromDiskwrites only when folding legacy project settings changed something. The window is a downgrade followed by any settings change on the old build.I would still take that over the alternative. Without the forward-compatible wrapper an unknown icon fails the whole file,
settingsFileTrustedgoes false, and every setting falls back to its default. Losing one icon beats losing the file, and preserving the value instead would mean carrying an unparsed copy of the settings file through decode. This is the only forward-compatible field insettings.ts, so it is the only one shaped this way.applyServerSettingsPatchwould have corrupted an object-valued setting. It sent the key throughdeepMerge, which fuses two variants with different keys into a hybrid. It is now a whole-value replacement, besideprojectSettingsOverrides.stripDefaultServerSettingshas the same hazard one layer down, and it has no live bug. The field's default isnull, so its recursion never reaches inside the object, which means the swap test passes for a reason that disappears the moment that default stops beingnull.environmentIconjoinsATOMIC_SETTINGS_KEYSso the guarantee comes from the set rather than from the default.A monogram is held to two characters on the way in, by
EnvironmentIconOverrideWrite, whichServerSettingsPatchuses. Projects check that bound in their decider; a settings patch has no decider behind it, so the contract is the only place left. The count is code points after stripping the combining marks and joiners the text schema admits.Intl.Segmenterwould be exact and Hermes ships none, so using it where it exists would accept on the server and on web what mobile refuses. The bound deliberately does not run on decode either. A peer writing outside the picker can store a longer monogram, and checking it there would send that icon throughForwardCompatibleNullabletonullwith nothing telling the user why. Snapshots decode what is stored.The inline image is PNG, not any
data:image/. That is what keeps an SVG, which can script, out of the<img>on web, where the declared type picks the decoder. It has to carry the PNG signature too, checked as the encoded prefixiVBORw0KGgthat base64 fixes for every PNG, so the declared type is the writer's claim and the prefix is the evidence.A new
environmentIconOverridecapability tells clients the server stores the object form. The web picker writes the named variant andresolveEnvironmentMachineKindreads it back, so every renderer still receives a machine kind.Why
Two generic servers wear the same glyph with no way to tell them apart. This is the storage half of fixing that; it is the layer the rest of the stack cannot cheaply walk back, so it lands alone.
This is the first of six stacked PRs.
CONTRIBUTING.mdsays large PRs and feature work are least likely to be accepted, so this arrives knowing that. The stack is ordered so the third PR alone fixes the reported screenshot, which is the natural place to stop if you want less. Layers: contracts and storage (this), rename and widen the renderers, seven more curated icons, emoji and monogram and color, a shared Lucide list, then image icons with the mobile picker and container detection.GitHub only accepts a base branch that lives in the base repository, and stacks cannot span a fork and its upstream, so the other five layers form a native stack on the fork, each based on the previous one. Each will be re-targeted here once its base merges: amanthanvi#1, amanthanvi#2, amanthanvi#3, amanthanvi#4, amanthanvi#5.
