📝 PR Description

This PR fixes the broken PWA installability issue caused by missing local icon assets referenced inside manifest.json.

Previously, the project referenced /icons/ assets that did not exist in the repository, which resulted in:

  • 404 errors for manifest icons
  • failed Lighthouse PWA installability checks
  • missing install prompt in Chrome/Edge
  • inconsistent favicon and Apple touch icon behavior

✅ Changes Implemented

  • Added a local /icons directory with all required PWA assets:

    • icon-72x72.png
    • icon-192x192.png
    • icon-192x192-maskable.png
    • icon-512x512.png
    • icon-512x512-maskable.png
  • Updated manifest.json:

    • added proper type
    • added purpose: any
    • added dedicated maskable icon entries
    • aligned all icon paths with actual repository assets
  • Updated index.html:

    • replaced external CDN favicon with local icon assets
    • added Apple touch icon support
    • added <meta name="theme-color"> for improved mobile/PWA integration
  • Fixed minor PWA-related inconsistencies:

    • removed broken icon references
    • ensured manifest assets resolve correctly
    • improved installability compatibility across browsers

🚀 Critical Requirement Coverage

This directly addresses the critical PWA installability issue by ensuring all manifest icon paths are valid and locally available. The browser can now successfully load required assets for:

  • Add to Home Screen
  • installed PWA mode
  • Android adaptive/maskable icons
  • Lighthouse installability audit

The application now behaves as a fully installable Progressive Web App without silent failures caused by missing assets.
