+### 2026-08-20 — Dark welcome artwork corrected
+
+Issue #44 is fixed in the artwork set and in the shipping drawables. The dark
+welcome source now matches the light welcome subject: overlapping translucent
+cycle rings over the night landscape, with a crescent moon, botanicals and no
+calendar, arrow, dashed forecast days, text or step badge. Only `01_Welcome` was
+changed; dark `07_Forecast` stayed as the forecast scene.
+
+The corrected source is
+`docs/design/dist/Dark/01_WelcomeIllustration_dark.webp`, and the four
+`drawable-night-*dpi/art_welcome.webp` variants were regenerated from it at the
+existing bucket sizes. The owning dist README was reviewed in the same change
+and now records the trap: future replacements should judge dark `01` against
+light `01`, not dark `07`.
+
+**What this proved:** visual inspection of the corrected source; `identify`
+confirmed `2048x1365` for the source and `617x411`, `822x548`, `1233x822`,
+`1644x1096` for the night buckets; a SHA-256 check reported all 16 source WebPs
+unique; `./gradlew checkThemedDrawables` passed; `./gradlew assembleDebug`
+passed.
+
+**Next action:** work issue #32, the Play Store listing assets, then finish #31's
+neutral incognito launcher label/icon against that final asset direction.
+
+**Blockers:** none.
