Description

Summary: Add a switch to the board Properties menu to toggle showing a "card preview" on the board without needing to open the card

How important this is to me and why:

Importance: Medium

Use cases:

  1. Be able to see notes at a glance from the board

Additional context / similar features: Should be a mini preview of the card, similar to the gallery view. Need some logic around how much text to show (maybe configurable), perhaps limiting by height.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the board view components to locate the Properties menu and understand where to add a toggle for card preview. Look at the gallery view implementation to reuse logic for displaying card content with height limits.
