 All notable changes to Epicure are documented here. This file is mirrored in-app at `/changelog` (and in the admin dashboard) via `apps/web/lib/changelog.ts` — update both together.
 
+## 0.65.3 — 2026-07-21 01:20
+
+### Fixed
+- Removed a stale `app/favicon.ico` left over from the original create-next-app scaffold (the default Next.js/Vercel triangle logo) — Next's file-based routing served it as `/favicon.ico` regardless of the app icon configured via `icon.svg`, so some browsers showed the placeholder logo instead of Epicure's icon no matter what cache state you were in. The SVG icon is now the only favicon source.
