Two changes to the no-photo cover placeholder shipped last version:
1. Muted the gradient palette (100/40-opacity tints instead of solid -200/
-950 stops) — the original was too saturated next to real cover photos
in the same grid, per feedback.
2. New coverIcon/coverColor columns on recipes (nullable text, migration
0048, additive-only) let the author pin a specific color+icon from the
recipe editor instead of the automatic per-id pick. getRecipePlaceholder
now checks these first, falling back to the deterministic hash pick when
unset — existing recipes are unaffected until edited.
Wired coverIcon/coverColor through every explicit-column recipe select
that feeds a grid card (explore trending/recent, search, feed, for-you) —
the relational-query call sites (recipes page, collections, profile pages)
already return all columns and needed no changes.
