The mark now shares pdf-editor's silhouette, corner geometry and weight, in
blue against its red, so the two editors read as a pair in the dock. It
carries a pilcrow rather than a format label: at 16px "DOC" is a smudge
while the paragraph mark is still a glyph, and it says word processor rather
than file extension.
Drawn as paths, not <text>. An icon that needs a particular font installed
to make sense is an icon that eventually renders wrong somewhere.
Still nothing of Microsoft's: their blue sheet carries a white W, and the
page-with-a-folded-corner is the universal document glyph rather than
anyone's property.
Also adds docs/DESIGN-one-extension-catalogue.md, which writes down the
larger point this kept bumping into — that bundled and community extensions
are two systems for one kind of thing, with two trust rules and two lists in
Settings, and that "ships by default" should be a line of configuration
rather than a separate distribution path. Proposed only; the awkward part is
keeping a fresh offline install usable, which the note answers by treating
the shipped copies as a pre-seeded cache that still verifies like everything
else.
Moving it out of the build left it with no way in. Settings can only install
from the community catalogue, so a first-party extension that isn't bundled
has a working update channel and no first copy for anyone to update — the
mechanism was all there and the front door was missing.
So it goes back beside screenshot, aegis and pdf-editor: seeded into every
profile by the build, listed under "Built into Theseus", and kept current
between releases by the operator-signed channel at
theseus.x/extensions/docx-editor/. That is the arrangement docs/ADDON-UPDATES.md
describes, and the one the signing script was written for.
About 400 KB compressed in the installer, most of it the vendored editor
libraries — next to the ~4 MB of pdf.js that pdf-editor already ships, the
weight argument for keeping it out didn't survive contact with the numbers.
The end-to-end driver goes back to checking that a fresh profile seeds it,
which is the property that actually matters now.
