<issue_title>feat: Create additional logo variants and favicon assets</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Summary
Now that we have the primary logo assets merged (#42), we should create additional variants for different use cases including favicons, social preview images, and various icon sizes.

Background

Currently we have:

  • ✅ Homelab-mcp-logo-transparent.png (1024x1024)
  • ✅ Homelab-mcp-logo-white.png (1024x1024)
  • ✅ Homelab-mcp-logo-transparent.svg (vector)
  • ✅ Logo displayed in README.md
  • ✅ Documentation in assets/README.md

Remaining Tasks

1. Icon-Only Variants (No Text)

Create versions with just the house + network graph icon (without "homelab-mcp" text):

  • homelab-mcp-icon.png (1024x1024) - square icon, transparent background
  • homelab-mcp-icon.svg - vector icon-only version
  • Use case: Favicons, app icons, small displays

2. Multiple Icon Sizes

Generate standard icon sizes from the icon-only version:

  • 16x16 PNG
  • 32x32 PNG
  • 64x64 PNG
  • 128x128 PNG
  • 256x256 PNG
  • 512x512 PNG
  • Use case: Multi-resolution favicon support, various platforms

3. Favicon Files

  • favicon.ico - Multi-size .ico file (16, 32, 64 embedded)
  • favicon-16x16.png
  • favicon-32x32.png
  • apple-touch-icon.png (180x180)
  • Use case: Browser tabs, bookmarks, mobile home screen

4. Social Media Preview Image

  • homelab-mcp-social-preview.png (1200x630)
    • Logo/icon on the left side
    • Text "homelab-mcp" and "Infrastructure as Context" on the right
    • Dark background (#0e1a2b) matching logo theme
  • Use case: GitHub social preview, Twitter/LinkedIn cards, blog posts

5. GitHub Repository Configuration

  • Upload social preview image to GitHub repository settings
    • Settings → General → Social preview → Upload an image
  • Set repository description to match tagline
  • Add repository topics: mcp, homelab, claude, docker, infrastructure, monitoring

6. Docker Hub Branding

7. Documentation Updates

  • Update assets/README.md with new file descriptions
  • Add favicon usage instructions to main README (optional)
  • Consider adding a "Branding" section to CONTRIBUTING.md

Technical Notes

Image Generation Tools:

# Using ImageMagick (if installed)
brew install imagemagick

# Crop icon-only from full logo (adjust coordinates as needed)
magick assets/Homelab-mcp-logo-transparent.png -crop 1024x600+0+0 +repage assets/homelab-mcp-icon-only.png

# Create square icon with padding
magick assets/homelab-mcp-icon-only.png -gravity center -background none -extent 1024x1024 assets/homelab-mcp-icon.png

# Generate sizes
for size in 16 32 64 128 256 512; do
  magick assets/homelab-mcp-icon.png -resize ${size}x${size} assets/homelab-mcp-icon-${size}.png
done

# Create favicon.ico
magick assets/homelab-mcp-icon-16.png assets/homelab-mcp-icon-32.png assets/homelab-mcp-icon-64.png assets/favicon.ico

# Create social preview (requires text composition)
magick -size 1200x630 xc:'#0e1a2b' \
  assets/homelab-mcp-icon.png -resize 500x500 -geometry +80+65 -composite \
  -font Helvetica -pointsize 72 -fill white -gravity east \
  -annotate +100-50 'homelab-mcp' \
  -pointsize 32 -fill '#cbd5e1' \
  -annotate +100+50 'Infrastructure as Context' \
  assets/homelab-mcp-social-preview.png

Alternative (macOS built-in):

# Using sips (macOS only)
sips -z 512 512 assets/homelab-mcp-icon.png --out assets/homelab-mcp-icon-512.png

Acceptance Criteria

  • All icon sizes generated and added to assets/ folder
  • Favicon files created and documented
  • Social preview image looks professional and matches brand colors
  • GitHub repository has social preview configured
  • Docker Hub repository has logo
  • assets/README.md updated with all new files
  • All assets use consistent color palette from original logo

Optional Enhancements

  • Create a dark mode variant with light-colored logo
  • Add .icns file for macOS app icons (if needed)
  • Create Windows .ico in multiple sizes

@copilot too much of the bottom of the image was removed - not only is the text removed, but it cuts off the bottom of the network portion. additionally, it's not clear if the images are all square - they look rectangular when I view them.

If you cut off, or remove, anything below 660 pixels from the original image, you should keep all the content and remove the text

The markdown code fence is not properly closed. There's a triple backtick starting the bash code block on line 87, but the closing triple backtick on line 89 is followed by another triple backtick on line 92 that seems to be attempting to close the outer markdown block. This creates ambiguous markdown structure. The bash code block should be closed before line 91, and the outer markdown block should properly end after line 92.
