lock.ico had an opaque white background baked into every frame, so the rounded tile showed white corners on the desktop and taskbar.

  • Cut the background out with anti-aliased edge alpha
  • Rebuilt all sizes (16/24/32/48/64/128/256) from the 256px master
  • Regenerated the icon-only rsrc_windows_*.syso files (no manifest, per src/README.md)

Verified: release build links, and the icon embedded in the UPX-compressed exe has transparent corners.

24px) from the 256px master, and regenerate the icon-only .syso files.
