thunderstore_get_community
Get details for a single Thunderstore community (game) by its identifier. Returns name, links (Discord, wiki), and metadata flags. Thunderstore has no single-community detail endpoint — this walks the paginated list and early-exits on match, so cost grows with how late in the list the target is.
