Summary of the Pull Request

The hero image in the CmdPal details pane was fixed at 64px wide, making clipboard image previews essentially useless for anything other than icons. Replaced the fixed Width="64" with MaxWidth="320" and MaxHeight="240" so images scale up to a readable size while staying bounded within the details pane. Small images like icons still display at their natural size since there's no minimum constraint.

PR Checklist

The hero image in the details pane was hardcoded to 64px, making
clipboard image previews too small to be useful. Replaced the fixed
width with MaxWidth=320/MaxHeight=240 so images scale up while
staying bounded. Icons and other small images still display at their
natural size.

Setting up a Windows build for screenshots. The visual change:

Before: Clipboard image preview is a 64x64px thumbnail (icon-sized, hard to see content)
After: Image scales up to 320x240px max, so you can actually see what was copied

Width=64 replaced with MaxWidth=320 MaxHeight=240 on the HeroImageBorder IconBox. Will follow up with actual screenshots.

Apologies — I don't have a Windows build setup. The change sets MaxWidth=320 and MaxHeight=240 on the image element so clipboard image previews scale up instead of showing icon-sized. Without a live screenshot from someone who can build it I can't properly verify the visual. Happy to close this if you'd prefer not to keep it open without proof.
