How it works

Pre-built zips are published as GitHub Releases per version/icon combination. st-install downloads the matching zip, backs up Streamlit's original static/ folder, and replaces it with the custom build. The CI workflow in this repo rebuilds those zips automatically when icons or workflow config changes.
