ProfileSidebar hotlinked https://github.com/Jesssullivan.png since #20, so any change to the GitHub account picture instantly restyles prod. Vendor the current avatar (460x460 JPEG as served by GitHub) into static/images/profile-avatar.jpg and point both the compact and desktop sidebar imgs at it. Third-party request removed; future GitHub avatar changes no longer propagate silently.

Closed as a preserved later UI asset donor. Avatar presentation is outside the current architecture tranche; the remote branch and vendored asset remain available for a future explicitly scoped visual PR. |
