Description
Update: local case resolved
After pulling the commit containing t3.json and the favicon into the Windows checkout, then fully closing and reopening T3 Code, the sidebar now shows the correct icon.
I can no longer reproduce the mismatch. I didn’t test pulling and restarting separately, so I can’t tell which step resolved it. The source-selection difference noted below remains, but this case no longer demonstrates an ongoing bug.
Original report
With the same repository grouped across two connected environments, project settings shows the automatic favicon while the desktop sidebar shows a generated monogram.
Settings selects the first connected group member, whereas the sidebar prefers the primary environment. Executing those selection expressions with two connected members reproduces the different choices.
Expected: the group’s settings preview and sidebar agree on its icon.
The selection mismatch exists in upstream commit 5ea6439816470288d3f2b6b43635fea41fbbb101. The reason the local checkout returns a fallback has not yet been established.
Related: #7464, closed unmerged. This report concerns the inconsistent group preview, without proposing cross-client caching or retry machinery.

Research direction
Start by comparing the settings preview and desktop sidebar selection expressions described in upstream commit 5ea6439816470288d3f2b6b43635fea41fbbb101, using two connected group members. Verify whether the local fallback is still reproducible after pulling t3.json and the favicon and restarting T3 Code; done means both views select the same icon source.
