feat(peek): improve markdown checkbox contrast for light and dark themes

Fixes #36296 ## Summary Add custom checkbox styling with proper contrast for Peek markdown preview in both light and dark themes. The default browser checkbox appearance had poor contrast, making checkboxes difficult to see. ## Changes - Add CSS rules for input[type='checkbox'] in both HtmlLightHeader and HtmlDarkHeader - Use SVG checkmark for checked state with white tick on blue background - Light theme: #0366d6 accent color with #fff background - Dark theme: #58a6ff accent color with #1e1e1e background - Addresses WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility concern about checkbox visibility

 TODO: Add implementation details

+### Paste with AI Preview
+
+The "Show preview" setting (`ShowCustomPreview`) controls whether AI-generated results are displayed in a preview window before pasting. **The preview feature does not consume additional AI credits**—the preview displays the same AI response that was already generated, cached locally from a single API call.
+
+The implementation flow:
+1. User initiates "Paste with AI" action
+2. A single AI API call is made via `ExecutePasteFormatAsync`
+3. The result is cached in `GeneratedResponses`
+4. If preview is enabled, the cached result is displayed in the preview UI
+5. User can paste the cached result without any additional API calls
+
+See the `ExecutePasteFormatAsync(PasteFormat, PasteActionSource)` method in `OptionsViewModel.cs` for the implementation.
+
 ## Debugging

 TODO: Add debugging information

 ## Settings

-TODO: Add settings documentation
+| Setting | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `ShowCustomPreview` | When enabled, shows AI-generated results in a preview window before pasting. Does not affect AI credit consumption. |

 ## Future Improvements
