// MARK: - ClipboardStore

/// Cut / copy / paste for cards **and lanes** — the hybrid clipboard (04-interactions.md ▸
/// Clipboard).
///
/// ### Hybrid, and what each half is for
///
/// The pasteboard carries a small JSON manifest plus a plain-text rendering; the *content* — whole
/// folder trees, attachments and strays and all — is **staged** under
/// `<Application Support>/Clipboard/<copyID>/`, so a paste reproduces the item byte-for-byte across
/// boards rather than reconstructing it from a summary. The manifest's embedded `index.md` per entry
/// is **identification metadata only** — menu validation, the refusal's wording, the plain-text
/// flavor — and never a materialization source: a paste whose staged snapshot is missing or
/// unreadable **refuses whole and writes nothing** (04-interactions.md ▸ Clipboard, re-ruled
/// 2026-07-29 — Finder's invariant: an item arrives whole or not at all).
///
/// ### The staging lifecycle, settled
///
/// - **Eager**: the snapshot is taken at ⌘C/⌘X time, so a copy captures the source as it was at the
///   gesture and is immune to a later deletion or unmount.
/// - **At most the current copy**: every copy sweeps, and a sweep keeps only the `copyID` the
///   pasteboard still names. A launch sweeps too, which is what collects the trees another app
///   orphaned by taking the pasteboard while this app was not running.
/// - **Survives relaunch exactly as long as the pasteboard points at it** — which is the sweep rule
///   read from the other side, not a second mechanism.
///
/// The copies run **off the main actor** on a serialized chain (`stagingChain`): a card holding a
/// large video would otherwise freeze the app for the length of the ⌘C. The pasteboard is written
/// synchronously in front of that — ⌘C is instant and Edit ▸ Paste lights up immediately — and a
/// paste awaits the same chain, so it can never read a half-written snapshot, and a sweep can never
/// delete a tree a copy is still writing.
///
/// ### The deferred cut
///
/// ⌘X stages, writes the pasteboard, and arms the source board's `transient.pendingCut` — the items
/// dim in place. The cut is **armed** while the pasteboard still holds its `copyID`, the source store
/// is still open, and the pending cut still names something; "deletion voids per item" needs no code
/// here at all, because `TransientBoardState.resolve` already ejects a member that moved to the trash or vanished
/// on every reload, so "paste moves only the survivors" is the reload rule read at paste time.
/// Voiding undims and downgrades the paste to a copy from staging.
///
/// ### Takeover detection is lazy, and there is no timer
///
/// `NSPasteboard.changeCount` is a machine-wide counter, so a value that moved without this store
/// moving it means another app owns the pasteboard now. It is checked exactly where 04 says — menu
/// validation (which reads the cached `payload`), app activation, and before every paste — and
/// nowhere else. `payload` is observable state rather than a computed pasteboard read precisely so
/// the menu items' enablement re-evaluates when it changes rather than whenever SwiftUI happens to
/// rebuild them.
