Purpose

Static assets copied verbatim to the site root at build time (served at /).

File	Description
`avatar.png`	Personal avatar used as the header logo (`src/components/layout/Header.astro`, referenced as `/avatar.png`) and in the homepage `Person` JSON-LD.
`icon.svg`	Source icon; `astro-webmanifest` generates favicons / apple-touch / manifest icons from it at build (referenced in `BaseHead.astro`).
`social-card.png`	Default Open Graph image when a page/post supplies no `ogImage`.

Reference these with absolute root paths (/avatar.png), not the @/ alias — they are not processed by Astro's asset pipeline.
Replacing icon.svg changes all generated favicons/manifest icons; keep it roughly square (build warns otherwise).
