Bug Report

Feature Area: TUI — Clipboard Operations

What Was Tested

The spec (§ "Clipboard Operations") defines clipboard integration for copying content from the conversation and other widgets.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Operation	Trigger	Behavior
Auto-copy on selection	Mouse text selection	When `ui.auto_copy` is `true` (default), selected text is automatically copied to clipboard
Block copy	`c` in block context menu	Copies focused block's text content to clipboard
Block copy to prompt	`p` in block context menu	Inserts focused block's text into prompt TextArea
Manual copy	OS-native selection + copy	Standard terminal copy behavior

Clipboard access uses pyperclip when available, with fallback to OSC 52 escape sequences (works over SSH and in tmux/screen). If neither is available, copy operations display a flash message with the content for manual copying.

Actual Behavior

No clipboard integration exists in the TUI codebase. Searching for pyperclip, OSC 52, auto_copy, clipboard in src/cleveragents/tui/ returns zero results. No block context menu exists (the conversation is a single Static widget). No c or p key handlers exist in the conversation area.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/tui/app.py — no clipboard integration
No block context menu implementation
Spec reference: §"Clipboard Operations" (line ~30125 in docs/specification.md)

Impact

Users cannot copy conversation content to clipboard from the TUI. The block context menu (which provides copy functionality) is also missing.
