+## Theme store
+
+The server can offer card-art themes for in-game download. Drop theme
+`.zip` archives (the same format the game's Settings → Import accepts:
+a `theme.ron` manifest plus 53 SVGs) into the directory named by
+`THEME_STORE_DIR` (default: `theme_store/` next to the binary), then
+restart the server — the catalog is scanned once at startup. An
+optional `<theme-id>.png` in the same directory becomes the theme's
+store preview.
+
+Endpoints (public, no auth):
+
+- `GET /api/themes` — catalog JSON (id, name, author, size, sha256)
+- `GET /api/themes/<id>/download` — the archive
+- `GET /api/themes/<id>/preview` — the preview PNG, if present
+
+Archives that are oversized (> 20 MiB), unreadable, or have a
+malformed `theme.ron` are skipped with a warning in the server log;
+they never fail startup.

+//! Settings → Cosmetic → "Browse theme store" fires
