Phoenix v4.0.22-wilderness (9be2) - Cloaked Gravity Snares Show Generic “Cloaked Fleet” Icon Instead of Snare Icon on Galaxy Map

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Gravity Snares launched from a Science Ship normally appear on the Galaxy Map with their unique snare icon.
However, once Basic Cloaking Fields (or any higher cloaking tech) is researched - and the probes auto-upgrade to a cloaked state - their map symbol changes to the generic “cloaked ship” icon (see screenshot), not to a snare-specific cloaked version (which would be only logical).
This makes the snare look like an unidentified cloaked fleet, causing confusion and hampering quick visual identification. Prior to unlocking cloaking, the correct uncloaked Gravity Snare icon is shown.
Steps to reproduce the issue.
1. Start a game as any empire able to build Gravity Snares.
2. Launch at least one Gravity Snare probe from a Science Ship; verify that its Galaxy Map symbol is the correct snare icon.
3. Research Basic Cloaking Fields.
4. Wait for the monthly tick (or reload/save) so the snare automatically becomes cloaked.
5. On the Galaxy Map, the snare’s symbol has changed to the generic “cloaked fleet” icon instead of a snare-specific cloaked icon.

This appears to be a missing or mis-linked icon definition in the cloaked state for the Gravity Snare probe.
