Headless Chrome beats ImageMagick for SVG logo lockup composition

To compose brand lockups (wordmark with an inline SVG logo replacing a letter) as PNGs, generate HTML pages and screenshot with headless Chrome (--headless --screenshot --window-size) instead of ImageMagick, which mangles complex SVG paths without the rsvg delegate. For a logo-as-letter glyph, put text and inline SVG in a baseline-aligned flex row: an SVG flex item baseline-aligns to its bottom edge, so crop the viewBox to content and nudge with position:relative top for optical overshoot (align-self:flex-end drops it to descender depth, reading lowercase). For transparent export, add body{background:transparent} plus --default-background-color=00000000, then magick -trim +repage -border to tight-crop.
