Research direction
Reproduce the problem in Drawing 0.8.3 using the reported Fedora 34, Sway, and wl-clipboard setup: copy an image, then run `wl-paste` in a terminal. The issue does not name a source file or test, so first locate the application's clipboard handling entry point. Done means copied content can be retrieved without `wl-paste` hanging.
