Research direction
Start by opening the linked ScreenOCR extension and reproducing the copy flow on the reported Raycast and macOS versions. Investigate the extension's image-capture entry point and compare the failing behavior with a successful capture; done means clear on-screen text is copied without the "failed to capture image" error.
