Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior in the VSCode built-in debug console with "vim.useSystemClipboard": true, then inspect the debug-console entry point and the mode and clipboard handling it reaches. Done means y/yy copies console content for browser paste and the cursor can transition from normal mode as expected; no file or test is named in the issue.
