Research direction
Reproduce this on Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 in the Codex desktop app by opening a new chat, entering text in the terminal, and using Command+C followed by paste into the chat input. Trace the terminal-to-chat clipboard path; done means text can be copied from the terminal and pasted into the chat input correctly.
