Description
The status of the clipboard shows null when used as a status bar item via adding $(opt:clipboard) to statusformatr or statusformatl
It will show properly if you set the clipboard option during that session, but when you exit and return it goes back to showing null.
The clipboard itself works as expected, this is not an issue with the clipboard functionality

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with $(opt:clipboard) in statusformatr or statusformatl, then restart micro and compare the displayed value before and after setting the clipboard option. Trace how the status bar reads persisted options; done means the clipboard value no longer becomes null after restarting, while clipboard functionality remains unchanged.
