Is hardcoding the svg in file required? We have many lucide icons,
if its absolutely required, pls put it in public dir and use its url
<img src="/freedevtools/svg_icons/comet/moon.svg">
Ex: https://hexmos.com/freedevtools/svg_icons/comet/moon.svg

| ## Root Cause | ||
| The theme toggle button was rendering before the main CSS stylesheet (`global.css`) loaded. This caused the SVG icons to display at their default size without proper styling, creating a jarring visual experience. |

Theme Toggle FOUC Fix
Problem
The dark mode/light mode theme toggle button appeared large and unstyled during initial page load on slow network connections, causing a "Flash of Unstyled Content" (FOUC).
Root Cause
The theme toggle button was rendering before the main CSS stylesheet (
global.css) loaded. This caused the SVG icons to display at their default size without proper styling, creating a jarring visual experience.
