Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the failure on a Samsung Galaxy S25+ running Android 16 with the clear-clipboard setting set to 10 seconds, then trace the Android clipboard-clearing path from copying a vault password. Done means the clipboard is cleared after the configured delay and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
