Request

Icon is supposed to "fill" the contents of the icon space, hence cropped to fill x & y axises without distortion.

Current behavior

macOS dock/Finder app icon renders the mascot with apparent distortion / does not fill the square.

Expected behavior

Icon fills the icon container fully on both axes.
No squish (aspect ratio preserved during fitting).
No transparent borders around the mascot.

Implementation notes

scripts/build-icons.sh should center-crop the master PNG to the largest possible square (using min(w, h) of source) and resize each iconset slot from THAT square.
macOS aggressively caches dock/Finder icons; verify a touch dist/DumpSock.app && killall Dock Finder shows the new icon.
