The Ctrl+C fallback in send_copy_selection() was injecting keystrokes without first releasing modifier keys held from the hotkey combination. Target apps received e.g. Win+Shift+Ctrl+C instead of Ctrl+C, which doesn't trigger a copy. Changes: - Release all modifier keys before Ctrl+C and restore them after, matching the existing try_to_paste_as_plain_text() pattern - Extract send_ctrl_c_input() and poll_clipboard_sequence() helpers from inline code for clarity - Increase clipboard polling window from 150ms to 500ms for slower Chromium/Electron clipboard updates - Add warn-level logging on failure paths for customer diagnostics - Check WM_COPY actually changed the clipboard before declaring success Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
Fixes AdvancedPaste custom action auto-copy failing on Electron/Chromium apps (e.g. Teams, VS Code, browsers).
Problem
The Ctrl+C fallback in \send_copy_selection()\ injected keystrokes without first releasing modifier keys held from the hotkey combination. Target apps received e.g. \Win+Shift+Ctrl+C\ instead of \Ctrl+C, so the copy never triggered.
