Set the home-screen / favicon icon (emoji + bg)

Owner-only. Replaces the icon as a unit — both emoji and bg are required; there is no partial / PATCH semantics. Stricter than PUT /app/{id}: invalid emoji or bg is rejected with 400 invalid_icon rather than coerced to the default and folded into warnings[] (that warn-and-coerce contract is for agent publishes, where a typo must never fail). Last-writer-wins with a near-simultaneous agent publish; the rendered icon SVG / PNG caches revalidate on next read via their content-derived ETag.

PUT/app/{id}/icon
Authorization
AuthorizationBearer token (bld_user_*) · headerrequired
User-scoped personal access token. Mint via `POST /api/token` after signing in, or via the device-pairing flow at `POST /api/pair/start`. Authorises everything the user can do.
Path parameters
idstringrequired
Request body
requiredapplication/json
emojistringrequired
A single emoji, rendered centered (e.g. `⚽`). Extra glyphs are dropped.
bgstringrequired
Background color as a hex string (`#rgb`, `#rrggbb`, or `#rrggbbaa`). Named colors (`"green"`), `rgb()`/`hsl()`, and image URLs are rejected.
matches ^#(?:[0-9a-fA-F]{3}|[0-9a-fA-F]{6}|[0-9a-fA-F]{8})$
Responses
200Icon updated; the response echoes the normalized icon.
iconIconrequired
Optional home-screen / favicon icon. The server composes a colored rounded-square PNG/SVG from `emoji + bg` — NOT a list of image URLs like a W3C web manifest. Omit it to get the default brick. If `emoji` or `bg` is invalid the whole icon is silently coerced to the default and the create/update response carries a `warnings[]` entry.

Set on 401s to distinguish token failure modes when finer detail is needed. `token_revoked_post_claim` is the post-#1284 surface for a bld_app_* that was invalidated by a claim — the `recovery` field on the same `error` object carries the self-contained pairing-recovery hint the agent should follow instead of creating a new app.
