[9larsons]

Local rebase + call-site fix pushed for the pickFn signature change (pickDefault → {pickBiggerSize, resolveFaviconUrl, gotOpts}). Unit tests pass, but the e2e test oembed.test.js > should replace icon URL when it returns 404 fails on CI — and this surfaces a real behavior change in metascraper-logo-favicon worth a human call before merge.

Root cause

pickBiggerSize in 5.50.x is now async and validates URLs via firstReachable (HTTP-fetches each candidate). In 5.42.x it was sync and returned the URL unvalidated.

Step	Old (5.42)	New (5.50)
pickFn returns	the inline <link rel=icon> URL unvalidated	undefined (404 on the candidate)
Rule chain	stops at pickFn's URL	falls through to /favicon.png → rootFavicon → Google favicon
oembed-service sees	a bad URL, processImageFromUrl fails	a 'valid' substitute URL, succeeds in storing
Result for test	falls back to static.ghost.org/.../link-icon.svg ✓	stores the substitute as image-01.png ✗

Options

1. Preserve old semantics with a custom pickFn that returns the first sized URL without reachability checks (so processImageFromUrl keeps owning the failure path):

   const pickFn = (sizes) => {
       const appleTouchIcon = sizes.find(item => item.rel?.includes('apple') && item.sizes && item.size.width >= 180);
       const svgIcon = sizes.find(item => item.href?.endsWith('svg'));
       return appleTouchIcon?.url || svgIcon?.url || sizes[0]?.url;
   };

2. Update the test to accept either outcome — i.e., accept whatever metascraper now resolves to when an inline icon 404s, including the favicon/Google fallback.
3. Adjust oembed-service to detect 'substitute' icons (Google's favicons.googleusercontent style URL, or any cross-domain favicon) and force static.ghost.org for bookmarks.

(1) is the smallest-diff option and preserves user-visible behavior; (2) accepts the upstream behavior change as desired. Leaving the decision here.
