The optional D2 bridge lowers emblem paths and paints into netrender's exact vello `Scene`, with ViewBox clipping, non-zero winding, flat and gradient paints, all spread modes, and typed refusal of an unrepresentable radial matrix. Its live headless receipts render action/info and one byte-identical derived face under red and blue palettes, prove winding at the centre pixel, and check linear and radial transform direction at pixels; 21 unit tests plus two GPU integration tests pass, with strict Clippy clean. D3 adds `Face::Derived` for favicon-less content and retains the stored-override contract. Editing stays deferred and operates on derivation parameters rather than decoded bytes. Open with Mark before D3: derived-by-default versus opt-in. The plan also records the family branding gap (three apps ship no icon; genet still ships Servo's).

Distillery now supplies an unrelated `distillery.installed.v1` descriptor and retained read-only Cambium session from its installed authority, proving the provider side without another UI contract.
