Description

## Goal

Investigate options for a favicon for the docs site (and potentially Graph Explorer itself). The favicon should ideally be:

- Monochromatic and vector-based (SVG)
- Properly supporting light and dark mode

This exploration may also surface a stronger in-app logo for Graph Explorer.

## Expected Outcome

- A recommendation on favicon approach (format, sizes, light/dark handling — e.g. SVG with `prefers-color-scheme`, `` media queries, or theme-aware assets)
- One or more candidate designs / mockups
- An assessment of whether the favicon work should extend to a refreshed in-app Graph Explorer logo, with a follow-up task or epic if so
- Notes on how Starlight consumes favicons (`favicon` config, custom `` entries) so the docs site can adopt the result

## Related Issues

- Originated from #1754

Research direction

Start by reviewing the docs site's Starlight favicon configuration and the existing Graph Explorer branding. Compare the listed SVG and theme-aware approaches, prepare candidate designs or mockups, and document a recommendation plus whether the in-app logo needs a follow-up task or epic.
