Research direction
First reproduce the hover preview issue with an ARMv7 Linux binary, focusing on a thunk function and comparing it with the other symbol cases shown in the screenshots. Trace the hover-preview path for extern symbols and verify the result against the expected thunk and non-thunk displays; done means the preview behaves correctly for the reported thunk case.
