Summary

Adds the Gnome 4x, 5x UI Improvements extension (gnome-ui-tune@itstime.tech) and enables it by default.

It tunes the GNOME Overview:

Hides the search box until you start typing
Enlarges workspace thumbnails (2x) and restores wallpapers on them
Shows workspace thumbnails even with a single workspace
Keeps Firefox PiP visible on the overview

All tweaks are toggleable in the extension's own settings.

Changes

recipes/recipe.yml — install via the gnome-extensions module (by display name, matching the existing list).
files/gschema-overrides/zzz-monolith.gschema.override — add the UUID to enabled-extensions so it's on by default.

Compatibility

The extension's shell_version_map covers GNOME Shell 50, which is what this image ships (Silverblue Main f44).
