Artifact code extraction now also tracks a 'cover' value alongside language and body

What

The parsing logic that extracts code blocks from HTML comments and style tags for artifact detection, along with the related code-fence unwrapping logic, now also captures and threads through a new cover value from the source, in addition to the language and body it already extracted.

Why

The finding does not say what the cover value is used for, so its practical effect on artifact rendering isn't clear from this change alone.
