Name the clean crop for what it is

The second crop carries no wordmark, for surfaces that set their own type: the
site can letter it in live Ubuntu Light small caps rather than in pixels, which
stays selectable, scales without the lattice fighting the text, and follows the
brand if the brand moves. The lettered crop stays for surfaces that cannot set
type at all.

Both were committed under a filename that recorded which run produced them
rather than what they are.

The intermediate uncropped 627×627 repixelization is not kept, because step 2
rebuilds it exactly.
## The two crops
- **`eureka-mascot.png`** carries the wordmark burned in, and is what the README
shows through `eureka-mascot-4x.png`. Use it where the surface cannot set
type: a README, a repository card, anywhere the image has to arrive as one
thing.
- **`eureka-mascot-clean.png`** is the same crop with **no wordmark**, for
surfaces that set their own type — the site, a header that wants the name in
live Ubuntu Light small caps rather than in pixels. Live type there is better
than burned-in: it stays selectable, it scales without the mascot's lattice
fighting the text's antialiasing, and it will track the brand if the brand
moves.
Each has its editable Krita original beside it. **When one crop changes, change
the other**, or the two will drift and the site will quietly disagree with the
README about what Eureka looks like.

detailed pixel art, anime-styled figure, dense labelled environment, one HUD
panel of typed state, a single saturated accent doing the lighting. Eureka is
