+  # Some SNI apps publish an *app* IconName that the icon set renders in
+  # full colour (EasyEffects 8 → `com.github.wwmm.easyeffects`, Papirus'
+  # blue equaliser), so the icon clashes with Waybar's monochrome tray.
+  # We wrap the resolved set in a thin child theme that `Inherits` it and
+  # ships palette-coloured monochrome overrides for the offenders, then
+  # make that child the session icon theme: every *other* icon still
+  # resolves from the parent unchanged (verified — udiskie, nm-applet and
+  # file-manager icons all fall through). Theme-following: the fill is the
+  # palette `text` colour — the same hue as the bar's own glyphs — so it
+  # is regenerated on every switch and works under any theme/mode. A
+  # scalable override out-resolves the parent's fixed-size icon at every
