 **Size: M**, and it overlaps 69, which should probably be done inside it rather
 than before it.
 
+**Done 2026-08-11, with item 69 folded in as the Size note predicted.** Six
+marks ship with the application in `assets/icons/marks/`: flagged, attachment,
+passed, replied and the two expander triangles. The toolbar and menus still
+resolve through `QIcon::fromTheme` and were not touched, which is the split the
+user stated.
+
+**Licensing decided the shapes.** The user pointed at the Material-Black-Plum-Suru
+theme as the look they wanted. That set is GPL3 (`index.theme` names Sam Hewitt
+and the licence) and this project is GPLv2-ONLY (`src/main.cpp:6`, no "or
+later"), which are incompatible: GPLv2's "no further restrictions" clause bars
+shipping GPL3 assets in a v2-only work. The user chose to have the six drawn
+fresh in the same idiom rather than relicense, so no Suru path data was copied.
+The idiom itself is generic: solid single-path silhouettes at 16x16, no strokes.
+
+**Not a .qrc.** `src/CMakeLists.txt` already records that a qrc compiled into the
+static library registers itself from a global initialiser the linker drops, so
+resources belong to the executable. The tests link the LIBRARY, so a
+resource-based mark would be absent exactly where it needs asserting. The
+payloads are compiled in as string literals in `src/marks.cpp`, generated from
+the assets, which stay the editable originals.
+
+**One asset per mark, not one per theme.** Every payload paints with
+`fill="currentColor"`, which `QSvgRenderer` does not resolve: it renders black.
+`Marks::pixmap` composites the wanted colour with `CompositionMode_SourceIn`,
+so a mark takes the card's own pen colour and follows selection and the
+read/unread dimming for free. Cached by (mark, size, colour, ratio), since a
+delegate repaints these per row per frame.
+
+**`CardLayout` reserves the rects; `CardDelegate` paints them.** The marks were
+glyphs inside the subject STRING, so their width came free from the text
+metrics; as icons the geometry has to know they exist or the subject runs
+underneath them. That is why `Input` grew four bools. The same trap bit the
+expander pill, whose triangle was a glyph in `expanderLabel()` and now needs its
+width reserved explicitly.
+
+**What the tests could not catch, and the render did.** Every geometry
+assertion passed while a card showed `passed` as BOTH an arrow and a green tag
+chip: the chip filter had no reason to know a mark had appeared. Found by
+rendering real cards to a PNG and looking at it. `isDrawnAsAMark()` is now one
+list consulted by both `PillTagsRole` and `MessageOwnTagsRole`, since two copies
+drifting is how a tag ends up drawn twice on one row and not at all on another.
+
+Nine tests in `test_marks` and four in `test_cardlayout`, plus one in
+`test_threadlistmodel` for the de-duplication. Mutation-checked at four points:
+the subject ignoring the marks, the flag not indenting the subject, the pill
+forgetting the triangle's width, and the recolour composite removed. Each failed
+a test. The old `flagGlyph()`/`attachmentGlyph()` and their `*` fallback are
+deleted; that fallback was a latent defect of its own, since both collapsed to
+the same character and made a flagged thread indistinguishable from one with an
+attachment.
