Description

It would be useful when closing the application that mini previews are displayed of all of the tabs we will (possibly inadvertently) close.
Having live previews could be nice to have.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by tracing the application's close flow and the tab-rendering UI, then define whether previews are static or live and verify that closing the application displays previews for every tab without changing existing close behavior.
