+`rea-plugin.png` is a square adaptation of the left panel of REA's GitHub
+social preview, retrieved on 2026-10-28:
+
+https://repository-images.githubusercontent.com/1209966933/1a3fef9a-be4b-41f4-8830-a94c0e8288cc
+
+The image was adapted with imagegen, preserving the cyan REA lettering,
+pixel typography, orange rule, and taglines. Both plugin manifests reference
+this shared asset; only the PNG is included in the npm package.
