JP drew a 53-cell MeshTerm at the original's height. It gets the same
colouring: the vertical ramp — white, yellow, light red, red, light
black — with every box-drawing character, shadow row and letter bevel
alike, in the light black.
The art moves to meshterm/assets/. It was sitting in meshterm/ui/ among
the modules, which is the wrong place for a file nothing imports; it
still ships inside the package, since the splash reads it at runtime and
an installed venv has no repo to read from. scripts/colour-logo.py paints
a .txt into its .ansi, so the palette is stated once in code instead of
retyped into escape sequences by hand, and re-styling stays a text edit.
Which mark is drawn is a question about the *screen*, not the platform: a
53-column console and a desktop terminal dragged narrow have the same
problem. load_logo(cols) answers it — widest that fits — and
compose_startup asks, since it is the only place that knows the width.
Below the smallest mark it returns nothing at all; no banner beats a torn
one. A test now draws the real wordmark at each platform's width, which
is the gate the splash never had (it is the one screen the gallery
doesn't cover, which is how a 71-cell mark shipped to a 53-cell console).
