Acceptance Criteria

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the backend code and tests that handle JPEG and GIF image types, then trace thumbnail generation and editing behavior. Done means AVIF follows the same supported-image paths, produces a thumbnail, and has the same editing experience as the existing formats.
