Add a favicon (SVG or 32×32 PNG) plus a 180×180 apple-touch-icon.
How to verify
Reload the site and confirm the icon appears in the browser tab.

Issue SEO-008: Favicon is missing
Site: https://your-app.example
First confirm the issue in the code or live config. If it is not present, say so and change nothing.
Task: Add a favicon for the site: an SVG or 32×32 PNG linked with <link rel="icon">, a /favicon.ico fallback, and a 180×180 apple-touch-icon, using the product logo.
Constraints: make the smallest change that fixes this, keep the current design and behaviour, never paste secret values into code or chat, and tell me which files you changed.
Done when: Reload the site and confirm the icon appears in the browser tab.
