ui: the trigger's wave is a full period again
The bold pass had turned the trigger into half a period — a signal rising above its level — and that lost the thing the glyph is for: the crossings. A crest and a trough read as a wave; a hump reads as a hill, and a trigger that shows no crossing names the "above the level" half of an event. The full-period sine with the dashed level through it is restored, exactly as it was, and the Signals pill carries the same wave again so the pill and the toolbar button stay one picture. The Measure glyph keeps the bold redesign, which is the part that was better: two cursors (a cap over two 4px dashes) beside a ruler of two bands with three 2x4 marks and no end caps. The Signals pill also keeps its two bold channel rows. Verified: `toolbar icons: trigger=udpscope-trigger-symbolic(ok)`; `page icons: measure=udpscope-tab-measure-symbolic(ok) signals=udpscope-tab-signals-symbolic(ok)`; `switcher: policy=narrow pills=2 labels=0 names=2 icon=32x32 size=308x36`; `[side-tab-probe] … advanced=4`; the Preferences dialog opened in the same run with no "not present"; `make test-ui` 14 files; zero `Gtk-CRITICAL`. The icons' blob is 12352 bytes, still over the C99 limit, so the clean-build warning count stays four.

`udpscope-tab-signals-symbolic` is a sine crossing its dashed level, beside two bold channel rows. They
|

are not reuses, because a glyph the toolbar already carries means two things the moment a tab shows it
|

too; instead the *trigger's* own icon (`udpscope-trigger-symbolic`) was redrawn to the Signals pill's
|
||||
picture, so the pill and the button that turns the trigger on are recognisably about the same thing.
|
||||
The wave is a **full period and not a hump**: a crest and a trough are what make it read as a wave
|
||||
rather than as a hill, and the level's dashes survive between the crossings. (A hump was tried and
|
||||
reverted — it named the "above the level" half of a trigger and lost the crossings, which is the half
|
||||
that matters.)
|

Both are **32x16** composites drawn **bold** — one thick band, two thick dashes, few features — because
|

at this size a thin wave or a 1px tick reads as *texture* rather than as a shape, which is what "not

clear" looks like. Wider than tall on purpose: a 16px square cell carries one motif, not a pair. And
