The live catalog has advertised preview_url per theme since the store
shipped, but the client never fetched it — rows were text-only. The
modal now downloads each advertised preview PNG off the main thread
(same AsyncComputeTaskPool + Tokio pattern as the catalog fetch and
avatar image), decodes it into an Image asset, and renders a thumbnail
sized by the theme's own card_aspect at the head of the row. Previews
pop in as they arrive and are cached for the session, so reopening the
store is instant. Failures log and leave the row text-only; the decode
path is skipped entirely under MinimalPlugins (no Assets<Image>).
solitaire_data grows ThemeStoreClient::fetch_preview with a 512 KB cap
(previews carry no checksum — decorative only).

Phase 1+2 of the theme-store roadmap: a free catalog served by
solitaire_server and an in-app browse/install flow, making custom
themes installable on Android for the first time (the manual
drop-a-zip flow can't reach the app-private themes dir there).
- solitaire_sync: ThemeCatalogEntry/ThemeCatalogResponse wire types
(additive module; SyncPayload and SyncProvider untouched)
- solitaire_server: THEME_STORE_DIR scan at startup (meta-only
theme.ron parse, sha256, 20 MiB cap, best-effort per archive);
public GET /api/themes, /api/themes/{id}/download, /{id}/preview;
compose volume + README_SERVER docs
- solitaire_data: ThemeStoreClient — catalog fetch + download with
mandatory size/sha256 verification before bytes are released
- solitaire_engine: ThemeStorePlugin — 'Browse theme store' button in
Settings → Cosmetic, modal catalog (leaderboard-style rebuild),
download on AsyncComputeTaskPool, atomic .tmp+rename write into
user_theme_dir, then the existing hardened import_theme pipeline and
an in-place registry refresh
New deps: sha2 (workspace, server+data); ron/zip reused in server;
serde_json added to solitaire_sync dev-deps for DTO round-trip tests.
