Description
Currently alt-core support several image formats. Image format supported currently: JPEG, PNG, GIF.
This task is to track adding support for WEBP files.
When a WEBP file is found, system needs to do the following:
(Backend)
1- Add the file to the search index.
2-Notify the server the file exists
3-Extract the thumbnail of the file and store it in thumbnail directory.
(Frontend)
1-Display the file in search results
2-When file is clicked, fetch the file and show it in full view.
The frontend side should "just work". The work is on the backend side.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the backend handles the currently supported JPEG, PNG, and GIF formats. Verify the WEBP path adds the file to the search index, notifies the server, and stores a thumbnail in the thumbnail directory; the existing frontend behavior should continue to display and open the file.
