Description

### Describe the bug

Copy on Windows 11, does not work. Nothing gets put on the clipboard despite Copilot telling you it's on the clipboard. This is a bug.

You should, at the very least, verify if it's on the clipboard before telling the user it is. If it isn't, which it isn't, log an error.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the copy failure on Windows 11 and trace the CLI path that reports success. Done means confirming whether clipboard content was written and logging an error instead of claiming success when it was not.
