📦 Release Notes: universal-task-v1.8.0

📊 Version Summary

Original Branding Restored: Checked out the original cartoonish task checklist character banner asset from commit e962788 and restored it as docs/assets/banner.png to preserve historical project identity.
Sketchnote Recreation: Designed a new 16:9 widescreen sketchnote-style banner using the Elite Sketchnote Prompt Architect rules. Generated the asset as docs/assets/banner_sketchnote.png and set it as the primary repository header in README.md.

Custom Mascot Creation: Designed and generated a 1:1 sketchnote empty-state illustration representing a cute smiling checklist mascot reading on a notepad.
React UI Integration: Replaced the generic 🧠 empty state card in the "Intelligence Output" column with this custom hand-drawn mascot. Used absolute raw GitHub URLs for full compatibility across local dev server, Vercel SPA, and Apps Script sandboxed iframes.

Clasp Version 65 pushed: Bundled and compiled production React code with build-gas.js, encoded to safe base64 format, and pushed/deployed version 65 live to the production Google Apps Script environment.
