What does this PR do
Assistant turn copy now puts both plain markdown and rich HTML on the clipboard when the platform supports rich clipboard writes. This lets formatted assistant output such as tables, nested lists, headings, and code blocks keep their structure when pasted into rich-text editors, while still falling back to plain markdown on platforms that only support text copy.
How did you verify it
npx vitest run src/utils/rich-clipboard.test.ts --bail=1npm run formatnpm run lintnpm run typecheckThe new unit test covers markdown-to-HTML clipboard rendering, unsafe HTML/link handling, rich clipboard writes, and plain-text fallback when rich writes fail.
Checklist
npm run typecheckpassesnpm run lintpassesnpm run formatran (Biome)Risk surface: this touches web/Electron clipboard behavior for assistant turn copy. Native and denied rich-write paths keep the existing plain markdown fallback; browser permission/focus edge cases are covered by falling back to text copy.
