Subject: [PATCH] Request Immich preview-size images instead of tiny default
 thumbnails

The default /thumbnail endpoint serves a 250x374 WebP, which is
visibly blurry on portfolio cards meant to show off real work.
size=preview returns a ~1440px-wide JPEG at a reasonable file size,
confirmed directly against the live Immich instance.

Fixes #25.
