+/**
+ * Build assets/icon.icns from the PNGs in assets/icons/.
+ *
+ * ICNS file format (Apple Icon Image):
+ *   Header:  'icns' (4 bytes) + total file length (uint32 BE, includes header)
+ *   For each size:
+ *     Type tag (4 bytes) + length (uint32 BE, includes the 8-byte entry header) + PNG data
+ *
+ * Standard PNG type tags we'll include:
+ *   icp4 = 16x16,    icp5 = 32x32,    icp6 = 64x64
+ *   ic07 = 128x128,  ic08 = 256x256,  ic09 = 512x512,  ic10 = 1024x1024
+ *   icsb = 48x48 (small)
+ *   ic11 = 16x16@2x (32x32 retina),  ic12 = 32x32@2x (64x64 retina)
+ *   ic13 = 128x128@2x (256x256 retina), ic14 = 256x256@2x (512x512 retina)
