 ### Changed
 
+- README header uses `site/gitdock-logo-removebg-preview.png` (transparent logo for GitHub light and dark themes).
 - `server.js` imports validation helpers from `lib/` (behavior preserved; easier to test).
 - Account name validation now rejects names that require stripping unsafe characters (e.g. `bad name!`, `work;rm`).
