Bug Report

Feature Area: TUI Clipboard Operations
Severity: Low (backlog)
Found by: UAT tester instance uat-tui-worker-1
Spec reference: docs/specification.md §Clipboard Operations (lines ~30125–30136)

What Was Tested

The src/cleveragents/tui/ directory was inspected for clipboard integration.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec defines clipboard integration for the TUI:

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

Clipboard access uses pyperclip when available, with fallback to OSC 52 escape sequences for terminal-native clipboard access (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:

No pyperclip import or usage
No OSC 52 escape sequence output
No ui.auto_copy setting integration
No block copy (c) or copy-to-prompt (p) actions (these are part of the context menu, which is also not implemented)

Code Location

Missing: Clipboard service (pyperclip + OSC 52 fallback)
Missing: ui.auto_copy setting integration in conversation widget
Missing: Block context menu with c (copy) and p (copy to prompt) actions
Missing: Flash message fallback when clipboard is unavailable

Impact

Users cannot copy actor responses or tool call results to clipboard via keyboard
Auto-copy on mouse selection is not implemented
The ui.auto_copy setting has no effect
