Research direction
Reproduce the Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V flow with report.ts and observe the project model and file system separately. Inspect how the copy operation handles the generated dirBlock.html and OrderCtrl.ts entries; done means a renamed item creates only the expected file on disk without junk model entries.
