+ * ## Status of the permission, as of 2026-08-14
+ *
+ * Tailscale were asked directly and replied that their logo is not to be used for MARKETING purposes.
+ * That is not what this is: it appears in the attribution strip inside an installed app, naming the
+ * project the client speaks to. No store listing, no screenshot, no website, no marketing surface uses
+ * it — and this repository is not published anywhere it would be seen as promotion.
+ *
+ * So it stays, deliberately and provisionally, on that reading. If Tailscale say otherwise, it goes:
+ * removing it is one component and its two call sites, with nothing else depending on it, and that
+ * containment is the reason it was worth keeping rather than pre-emptively cutting.
+ *
+ * Do NOT let this drift into a store listing or a marketing image on the strength of "it is already in
+ * the app". Those are the exact use they declined.
