"The hover preview is not really a preview because it shows nothing I can't already infer from the calendar as-is." The hover card for a Note shows only kind, date, title and time.

Make it a real preview: the first lines of the Note body rendered (headings, text, checklist state, first image thumbnail), word count / last edited, and the item's tags; for a file attachment, a thumbnail or first-page preview; for a Journal entry, its full text and attachments. Keep it fast (from the existing projections/cache, no extra round trip where possible).

Starting work on branch job/calcards-1115, based on dev at 27644444a9. I found the shared ItemCard and Calendar ItemPreview. I am tracing the existing list projections and thumbnail cache so the preview can use available data without adding a read to the hover path.
