rzen 1817d6f0b9 The Paste row says what it is about to do — one card, one lane, or a count of either
Both context menus (`CardFaceView`'s pointer menu and VoiceOver twin, `LaneView`'s own pair)
twin a plain "Paste" row over `ClipboardStore.paste(into:)`. It now reads the clipboard's own
manifest and titles itself "Paste Card" / "Paste Lane" for a single copied item, "Paste N Cards" /
"Paste N Lanes" for several, and stays plain "Paste" for no app payload — a Finder file copy, a
screenshot, anything else the paste command still accepts but never decodes to a
`ClipboardManifest`.

`ClipboardManifest.pasteMenuTitle(for:)` is the one pure function both menus call — `kind` and
`entries.count` are the whole of it, since `SelectionKind` is singular by construction
(`SelectionGrammar.mixesKinds` refuses a mixed copy), so there is no mixed shape to compose a
plural for. `CardFaceView.pasteTitle` rides the exact Observable read `pasteEnabled` already makes
(`appModel.clipboard.payload`) — no new subscription on a builder that is not lazy.
`LaneView.pasteTitle` reads the same field directly rather than through `canPaste(into:)`, since
this view is already unconditionally subscribed to selection/snapshot and there is no reduction to
preserve.

Edit ▸ Paste on the menu bar stays plain — it is a responder attached to the platform's own Edit
menu row (`ClipboardCommands.boardClipboardCommands`), not a `Button` this app titles, and the
card's scope is context menus only.

Flagged for a follow-up: DESIGN/11-command-nexus.md's Card and Lane rows (lines 110-111) describe
Paste generically and could note the dynamic title.

// MARK: - The clipboard type
//
// `UTType.laneworkClipboard` — what a Lanework copy puts on the pasteboard under its own type, the
// JSON `ClipboardManifest` below (04-interactions.md ▸ Clipboard: "the pasteboard carries a JSON
// manifest + plain text"). Declared in `Info.plist` beside the two drag types, for the same reason
// those are: a payload nobody has declared is a payload the system will not carry. The constant
// itself lives with its two siblings in `PasteboardTypes.swift`, exported once by the app that
// owns it.
// MARK: - The manifest
/// The JSON half of the hybrid clipboard (04-interactions.md ▸ Clipboard).
///
/// **It is self-describing twice over**, and both halves earn their keep:
///
/// - `copyID` ties the pasteboard to a staging directory — `<Application Support>/Clipboard/<copyID>/`,
/// the full folder snapshots a paste reproduces byte-for-byte from — and to a pending cut. It is
/// also the whole of "the snapshot survives relaunch exactly as long as the pasteboard still points
/// at it": a sweep keeps the one directory this id names and collects every other.
/// - Each `Entry` embeds the item's complete `index.md` text as **identification metadata**
/// (04-interactions.md ▸ Clipboard, re-ruled 2026-07-29): menu validation, the refusal's wording,
/// and the plain-text flavor read it. It is emphatically **not** a materialization source — a paste
/// whose staged snapshot is missing or unreadable refuses whole and writes nothing, because "an item
/// arrives whole — index, attachments, loose files — or not at all".
///
/// `kind` and `container` are the selection's own vocabulary (`SelectionKind`, `ItemContainer`) rather than
/// near-copies of it: a clipboard payload is a selection that was copied, and the cards-XOR-lanes and
/// board-XOR-trash invariants are exactly the ones those two types already carry. Their raw
/// spellings are pasteboard API — a manifest written before a quit is decoded after the relaunch.
///
/// `entries` are in the order the copy read them — flatten order on the live side ("lane `order`,
