 ### Fixed
+- **Studio: Code tab now shows CodeExporter** — The Code tab in Studio metadata detail pages
+  now correctly renders the `CodeExporter` component (TypeScript/JSON export with copy-to-clipboard)
+  instead of always showing the JSON Inspector preview. The default plugin now registers two separate
+  viewers: `json-inspector` for preview mode and `code-exporter` for code mode.
 - **CI Test Failures** — Resolved test failures across multiple packages:
   - `@objectstack/service-ai`: Fixed SDK fallback test by mocking `@ai-sdk/openai` dynamic import
     (SDK now available as transitive workspace dependency)

 /**
  * Built-in Plugin: Default Metadata Inspector
  * 
- * Provides a JSON tree viewer as the fallback for any metadata type
- * that doesn't have a specialized plugin. This is the "catch-all" viewer.
+ * Provides two fallback viewers for any metadata type:
+ * - **json-inspector** (preview mode): JSON tree viewer via MetadataInspector
+ * - **code-exporter** (code mode): Exportable TypeScript/JSON via CodeExporter
  * 
  * Priority is set to -1 so any type-specific plugin will take precedence.
