Proposed changes

HandleFaviconHash only probed the default /favicon.ico when the page declared no icon <link> tags. If a page declared only non-.ico icons (for example icon.png or apple-touch-icon.png), httpx never tried /favicon.ico, even though many servers serve it whether or not the page declares it.

With this change, when default probing is enabled and the page declares no .ico icon, /favicon.ico is added to the front of the candidate list:

if defaultProbe && !strings.HasSuffix(strings.ToLower(hrefs[0]), ".ico") {
	hrefs = append([]string{"/favicon.ico"}, hrefs...)
}

Proof

go build ./... and go vet ./runner/ pass.

Walkthrough

When default probing is enabled, the runner prepends /favicon.ico if the first favicon candidate does not end in .ico. The existing fallback for an empty candidate list remains unchanged.

Favicon probing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update favicon candidates runner/runner.go	When default probing is enabled and the first candidate does not end in .ico (case-insensitive), the runner prepends /favicon.ico. The empty-list fallback remains unchanged.

_{A rabbit checks the favicon trail,
A fresh /favicon.ico joins the queue.
When the first path lacks its .ico,
The runner adds this candidate too.
The empty list keeps its old fallback,
And hops along as before.}

Classify .ico candidates by URL path.

For a link such as /brand.ico?v=1, the full href does not end with .ico, so these lines prepend /favicon.ico. If both resources return images, the runner hashes /favicon.ico and reports the wrong favicon path. Parse the URL and check parsed.Path for the .ico suffix. Apply the same rule in extractPotentialFavIconsURLs sorting. Add a regression test for a query-bearing .ico link. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Closing. The favicon hash should stay on the icon the page declares.
