Start with examples/window_icon.rs and reproduce the behavior on macOS 14.2 using master. Read the linked egui issue for related context, then trace the window-icon support on macOS to determine whether the reported behavior is unsupported or broken. Done means the expected icon behavior is established and the issue is resolved or its limitation is clearly documented.
