fix(wallco-ai/404): drop is_published filter so recovery row populates

In prod every entry in DESIGNS currently has is_published: false (matches
the public /designs page which shows them all anyway), so the
is_published !== false guard zeroed out pickups → empty recovery grid +
og:image falling back to the generic og-default.png on every social
share. Matching /designs filter (just image_url) fixes both at once.
