+// Coloured icons inside a `Menu`.

+// A tinted `Label` icon comes out monochrome in a menu on every Apple platform: SwiftUI hands the
+// row's icon to UIKit/AppKit as a TEMPLATE image, and a template image is a stencil — the tint is
+// thrown away and the system's own colour is filled in. `.foregroundStyle(.red)` on a trash symbol
+// and `.foregroundStyle(profile.accentColor)` on a swatch both vanish the same way.
+//
+// So the icon is rasterised first. A bitmap marked `.renderingMode(.original)` is not a stencil,
+// and the colour survives into the menu. This is the only place in the app that needs the trick —
+// everywhere else a tinted symbol just works.
