Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the Safari on iPadOS 15.5 flow through an HTTPS reverse-proxied code-server instance, then inspect how the PWA home-screen icon is selected versus the favicon folder. Done means adding code-server to the iPad home screen produces the expected favicon-style icon rather than a screenshot of the current workbench.
