Importing images from public/ (`import X from '../../public/res/*.png'`) is
fragile under Vite with `publicDir: false` and can white-screen the dev app —
Vite tries to resolve the public/ path as a module. Switch the five logo/
favicon call sites to the repo's existing BASE_URL URL pattern
(`${trimTrailingSlash(import.meta.env.BASE_URL)}/public/res/...`), matching how
config.json, locales, and the Element Call widget are referenced. Resolves
identically in dev and the static-copied prod build (public/res -> dist/public/res).
Sounds under public/sound/ stay ESM-imported: that folder is not copied to
dist/ by vite-plugin-static-copy, so a URL reference would 404.
Also add a Local Development section to the README (no-backend model, npm ci /
npm start on :8080, which homeserver to log in against, OIDC-on-localhost note).
