Subject: [PATCH] fix(app): point AssetPlugin at workspace assets dir

Bevy resolves AssetPlugin::file_path relative to the binary's
CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR (solitaire_app/), but the assets/ directory lives at
the workspace root. After the switch to AssetServer in fbe984c, every
card face, back, background, and font load failed with "Path not found:
.../solitaire_app/assets/..." and the renderer fell back to Text2d
rank+suit placeholders.

Override file_path to "../assets" so cargo run -p solitaire_app from
anywhere finds the real artwork at <workspace>/assets/. Shipping a
release binary will need to either set the override differently or copy
assets/ next to the binary; that is left for whoever ships first.
