POST /v1/posts/{postId}/update-metadata already accepts thumbnailUrl, but its
platform enum is YouTube-only. Please extend it to Facebook.
Why it is small: the field exists, the endpoint exists, and Zernio already holds
the Page token. Meta exposes POST /{video_id}/thumbnails with source and
is_preferred for exactly this, and their Reels guide points to it for adding a
cover photo to a reel. So it is a routing change rather than new plumbing.
Use case: we publish 9:16 news video to five accounts and generate a designed
cover for each. mediaItems[].thumbnail handles it beautifully at publish time
(thank you). But videos published before we started sending a cover cannot be
fixed through the API at all β edit is text-only, PUT only updates recycling
config β so a back-catalogue stays on an auto-picked frame forever.
Requested: platform: "facebook" accepted on update-metadata with thumbnailUrl.
