Description

Add a backend server that enables previews by passing path parameters via the URL. This eliminates the excruciatingly slow response times and unnecessary performance overhead associated with the command line. Most importantly, using the server allows all third-party software to call the preview function without the need to configure QuickLook environment variables or obtain shell privileges—it’s ready to use straight out of the box.

Research direction

Start by locating the current command-line preview entry point and tracing how paths and environment variables reach the preview function. Define the server interface around URL path parameters and verify that third-party callers can invoke previews without shell privileges or QuickLook environment configuration; the issue provides no named files or tests.
