feat(theme-studio): screenshot harness + ecosystem coverage policy
Two speedrun-enabling pieces. A #preview=<app>&theme=<json> hash handler plus screenshot-previews.sh shoot any app's face table and live preview headlessly under a real theme (WIP.json by default), so preview work can be verified without a human clicking through the studio. The README gains the coverage policy: the studio themes popular packages even when uninstalled, pinning their faces rather than dropping them, and unloaded packages' previews matter more, not less.
