dev-null-undefinedandClaude 14e0d12813 LR-IMP-PREVIEW-READ: stand-ins and raw thumbnails decode the smallest embedded JPEG that covers them
`embedded_preview_srgb` (the loupe stand-in and the grid thumbnail of an unedited raw) decoded the
largest embedded JPEG whatever the size asked for: a 512 px thumbnail of a Sony A7R VI ARW decoded
its 9984 x 6656 JPEG (5.6 MB) although the file holds a 1616 x 1080 one (0.3 MB).

`lightcraft_raw::embedded_preview_covering(bytes, min_edge)` returns the smallest of a TIFF-based
raw's JPEGs whose long edge is at least `min_edge` and that is a copy of the largest one: aspect
ratio within 1 % (not a letterboxed thumbnail of another shape) and the same number of components
(not the grey semantic masks of an iPhone ProRAW DNG); else the largest, as `embedded_preview`.
The colour-space handling stays in `decode_raw_preview` (a `covering` argument); an unsupported
raw's editing source and the camera-look fit keep the largest JPEG, so a source never depends on
its size level.

On 120 raws of every make in the corpus at 256 / 512 / 1600 px: wherever the largest JPEG is still
chosen the output is identical byte for byte; where a smaller one is (Sony, Nikon, Panasonic,
Adobe DNG) orientation matches, the size is equal or 1-2 px off, mean difference <= 4.7 / 255.

- Rebased onto #1020: its plan route (`preview_window` -> `planned_preview`) now takes the box size and picks
  with `embedded_preview_covering` too, so a TIFF raw read through the sparse plan gets the whole file's JPEG.
