fix(browser): align list columns via subgrid and fix icon sizing

- Switch .browser-list to CSS grid + subgrid so header and rows share
  the same column track widths, eliminating misaligned columns when
  content widths differ between rows.
- Apply matching responsive column overrides at the parent grid level.
- Override root-folder SVG sizing (hardcoded 24x24 in browser.js) so it
  fills the 56px icon box instead of rendering at ~43%.
- Make compact grid icon fill its thumb wrapper so the emoji centers
  instead of being stranded in the top-left corner.
- Remove premature isConnected bail in loadThumbnail; the img element
  is intentionally detached when called from renderBrowserGrid/List.
  Post-await checks already handle navigation-away correctly.
