Report (Comenius test report)

The copyright notice rendered on an image is cut off in the preview/card display.

Screenshot from the report:
copyright cut off

Expected

Attribution/copyright text on images must remain fully visible in previews (or be shown elsewhere, e.g. caption/tooltip), since attribution is a license requirement for CC-BY-style content.

Analysis: the cut-off copyright notice is TEXT BAKED INTO the uploaded image itself (it runs vertically along the left edge of the collage). The event page shows the image as a 16:4-ish banner with object-fit: cover, so the edge gets cropped — there is no app-side text being truncated.

Since a designed banner crop cannot preserve arbitrary in-image notices, the fix (branch fix/issues-7-16-clickable-covers, together with #16) makes the cover image click through to the untouched original in a new tab, with a tooltip saying the full-size original includes any attribution. That keeps the attribution reachable in one click on both calendar events and articles.

If a visible-at-all-times attribution is wanted, the cleaner long-term route is a dedicated image-credit metadata field rendered as a caption below the image — happy to spec that as a follow-up.
