Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Windows Terminal 1.24 with GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.72-0 by selecting the current-project path in the lower-left and copying it. Trace the CLI terminal UI's path-selection and copy handling; done when the clipboard contains the path rather than same-width whitespace.
