### Changed

- **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.
