   ~ Notification small icons are rendered by the system as flat, alpha-only
   ~ silhouettes, so the regular `amethyst` gem becomes an identical solid gem
-  ~ for both real notifications and this persistent service. To stop the
-  ~ service from reading as a new notification, this variant draws the gem as
-  ~ a hollow outline — same brand shape, clearly different at a glance.
+  ~ for both real notifications and this persistent service. To set the
+  ~ always-on service apart, this variant centres the brand gem inside a ring
+  ~ of three "server" nodes — signalling a background service quietly connected
+  ~ to a network of relays, clearly different from a one-off notification at a
+  ~ glance. The gem is grown to the largest size that still clears the nodes.

-    The gem outline below is authored at ~half the viewport size, leaving it
-    visibly smaller than every other notification small icon (the filled
-    `amethyst` gem fills the viewport). Scale it up ~1.8x about its centre so it
-    matches the others, keeping a margin so the stroke doesn't clip at the edges.
