Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing-preview behavior in the previewgenerator app, including for PDF files larger than 1 MB. Trace the background preview-generation entry point and compare successful and missing cases. Done means the generator creates all expected previews, including previews for PDFs over 1 MB, with a regression check for the reported behavior.
