gplay apps view

Show the app's defaultLanguage, title (on the default language), and contactEmail — the minimum needed to confirm "yes, I'm looking at the right app".

Reads from the Google Play Developer API inside a read-only Edit (open → details.get + listings.get + images.list(icon) → discard); nothing is committed. The package defaults to the repo's .gplay/config.json pin when --package is omitted.

[experimental] When the default language has a store icon, the view also reports the icon's content sha256 (table/markdown) and adds an "icon" key {"url":..,"sha256":..} to the JSON envelope. The sha256 is the durable content-identity handle; the url is an ephemeral preview link — never persist it (fetch the bytes with 'gplay metadata images pull'). gplay does not cache the icon: each run is a faithful live read.

--output json returns the gplay envelope {"details":..,"listing":..,"icon"?:..} — each sub-object is the upstream API body verbatim. (Explicit exception to ADR-0003: multiple endpoints are merged here, so the JSON shape is gplay-defined rather than a single API pass-through. The icon key is omitted when the icon slot is empty.)
