Linux clipboard helper
Provides asynchronous X11 text and image reads using libxcb.so.1. Prebuilds support x64 and arm64 on glibc and musl. Reads have bounded waits; if a native operation stalls, the helper remains unavailable until it finishes.
Coding-agent falls back to command-line tools when native reads are unavailable. Wayland reads use wl-paste; all Linux writes use the existing command-line or terminal clipboard paths.
Building
Install a C compiler and XCB development headers, then run from the repository root on each supported Linux architecture:
npm --prefix packages/tui run build:native:linux
Testing
Install the build dependencies plus pkg-config, Xvfb, and xclip, then run from packages/tui:
node --test test/native-clipboard-linux.test.ts
Tests use isolated X11 servers, not the desktop clipboard. They skip when dependencies are missing.
