Research direction
To implement this feature, examine the current code widget display components in the repository. Look for existing rendering mechanisms for code snippets or widgets. The request is inspired by 'yourware' – research how that platform handles cover previews. Consider adding a thumbnail generation or user set preview image. Initially, a simple placeholder or generated preview could be implemented. Review the component structure in the frontend to find where widgets are rendered and how to extend them with a cover preview.
