- Brand asset paths (
https://github.com/requestly/interceptor/blob/master/app/src/assets/img/brand/...) — verify these files exist in the new repo after the codebase migration - Screenshot URLs (currently
github.com/user-attachments/...) — verify they remain accessible from the new repo context (user-attachments are organization-scoped, should be fine) - Decide whether to keep
