Element Web redesigned its welcome page into a built-in component (element-hq/element-web#33211, first released in spring 2026) and no longer falls back to loading welcome.html. The custom page the playbook installed had therefore silently stopped having any effect, and it was a fork of an upstream file that upstream has deleted (its button icon assets are already missing from current Element Web builds). Remove the welcome.html shipping and the variables that only applied to it (matrix_client_element_welcome_headline, _welcome_text, _welcome_logo_link, _page_template_welcome_path), rejecting them in validate_config.yml with pointers to the alternatives. Logo and background customization keep working through Element Web's branding options, which the new welcome page still honors. A fully custom page can be self-hosted and wired via embedded_pages.welcome_url. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
