I always look a little askance on overflow: hidden, as it can cause accessibility problems. I don't think it should here, since the class is removed when content is rendered, but can you tell me why it's being added?

The .theme-browser .theme element is the main theme card. It has border-radius: 8px (line 69), which gives the card rounded corners. The .theme-screenshot child sits flush against the top of the card, and its img is absolutely positioned to fill the entire screenshot area.

Without overflow: hidden on the parent card, the screenshot image would visually "poke out" beyond the rounded corners at the top of the card, rendering with sharp square edges that ignore the parent's border-radius.

The card has no scrollable content, and no interactive or focusable elements that could end up clipped out of reach. The theme name area and action buttons all sit within the card's visible bounds.
