+- **Markdown files carry a DocsReader icon in Finder.** A `.md`, `.markdown` or
+  `.mdx` file now shows an app-branded document icon on macOS, drawn from the app
+  icon, for anyone who sets DocsReader as their default app for the type. This is
+  build-time metadata only and does not change how the app runs.

+  Merged over the generated Info.plist at bundle time, and a user key replaces
+  the generated one wholesale (the CLI inserts user keys last). tauri.conf.json
+  > bundle.fileAssociations already generates this same CFBundleDocumentTypes,
+  but with no icon, so we restate it verbatim and add only
+  CFBundleTypeIconSystemGenerated: on macOS 11+ that tells Finder to draw a
+  document icon from the app icon, so a .md shows the DocsReader mark.
+
+  This is build-time metadata only: it never runs and cannot affect app
+  performance or behaviour. The icon appears only for users who make DocsReader
+  their default app for the type; it is a cue, not a takeover.
+
+  Keep these two entries in exact sync with bundle.fileAssociations. If that
+  list changes, update this file too, or the associations drift on macOS.
