Research direction
Investigate the Focalboard board view component in the codebase, likely under 'webapp/src/components/boardView' or similar. Understand how card content is rendered and where to add an optional content preview. Check if there are existing settings or props for card display. Review linked issue #1420 comments for any maintainer guidance.
