Description

When clicking on the "Open in Playground" button on any code tab, only the code of the tab itself gets copied.
It would be better if it copied any available prelude as well. The current behaviour can be confusing to beginners.

Research direction

Start by locating the CodeTab implementation and the handler for the "Open in Playground" button. Trace how the tab code is copied, then verify that any available prelude is included as well; done means the playground receives both the prelude and the selected tab's code.
