 Purpose: Source notes for the generated Decodex App menu bar template image.
 
 The menu bar icon uses the same cloud-wrapped prompt-lightning mark as the app icon,
-but removes the tile and color. It is generated as a single-color macOS template image
-with a moderate 22pt display size so the system can tint it correctly in light, dark,
-and selected menu bar states.
+but removes the tile and color. The template variant keeps the cloud slightly smaller
+and nudges the lightning mark down and right so the forms stay separated at the 22pt
+menu bar size. The lightning uses a small-template polygon to avoid a blocky vertical
+edge when the cloud masks it. The internal prompt mark is also reduced slightly and
+nudged inward so it does not overpower or hollow out the cloud silhouette. It is
+generated as a single-color macOS template image so the system can tint it correctly
+in light, dark, and selected menu bar states.
