Description
When files fail loading we should display a nice error.
For now we keep the preview image when there is an error.
In the future we would like to fail nicely with a "broken image" icon or fall back to the image alt.
This will be useful for videos when previews are not enabled.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the file-loading and preview-rendering entry points, then reproduce a failed image or video preview. Done should provide a defined user-facing error state while preserving the current preview behavior, with the broken-image or alt-text fallback clarified.
