### Affected version
1.0.66
### Steps to reproduce the behavior

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the `/copy` slash-command entry point and the clipboard integration, then reproduce the failure in WSL Ubuntu with WezTerm and zsh. Compare it with the working Windows PowerShell case and verify that copying the last assistant message succeeds without the Wayland protocol error.
