Research direction
Start at the termux-clipboard-set entry point and trace how its input reaches Android's clipboard handling. Determine the image input and MIME-type behavior, then check the existing clipboard-related tests or test setup. Done means an image file passed to termux-clipboard-set is available as an image in the Android clipboard without breaking text copying.
