Subject: [PATCH] feat: add image preview for large view cards

- Extract YouTube video thumbnails from URLs
- Display thumbnail images as background in large preview cards
- Add gradient overlay for better text contrast
- Fallback to icon placeholder for non-YouTube URLs
- Handle multiple YouTube URL formats (watch, youtu.be, shorts)
- Gracefully handle missing images with icon fallback
