Extends the automation-selection keyboard hook with Cmd/Ctrl+C (copy the active range) and Cmd/Ctrl+V (paste onto the selected clip's lane, at the selection's start or the playhead, chaining the selection to the pasted span so a second paste lands right after the first). Paste falls through untouched when no target lane resolves, so clip-level paste keeps working. Also fixes a latent test-isolation bug: setup() never unmounted the previous test's Host, so document keydown listeners leaked across tests and could consume later events before the current test's own listener ran.
…tration Paste was the least safe path in this feature: it resolved its target from the player store but committed through a different, asynchronously-lagging channel. Six review findings against this branch, plus the Cmd+C/Cmd+V half of the arbitration wa-15 started for Delete. - Write channel: resolvePasteTarget bails unless the binding's commitTargetKey equals the element it resolved. useAutomationLanes exposes that key, resolved through resolveTimelineIdForSelection — the same resolver applyDomSelection uses — and read in the same render as the commit handlers, so a handler and the key cannot describe different moments. Before this, clicking clip B then immediately pasting serialized B's automation onto A and left B untouched. - Chaining: the paste anchor comes from sel.t1, not sel.t0, so a second Cmd+V lands after the first instead of on top of it. The old comment claimed the new behaviour while the code did the opposite, and no test pressed Cmd+V twice. - Empty copy: copyRange returns false rather than arming a clipboard whose every paste is a destructive flatten, and samples the range's edges so copying a smooth stretch yields a real segment instead of no points. - Playhead: the playhead branch requires the playhead to be inside the clip rather than silently clamping an out-of-clip playhead to the clip's start. - Keys: one chord helper normalizes with toLowerCase() and gates on !shiftKey && !altKey, matching useAppHotkeys. CapsLock no longer kills the shortcut and Ctrl+Alt+V no longer pastes where the app declines. - Arbitration: useAppHotkeys consults automationOwnsKey before its c/v branch, so an active range keeps Cmd+C/Cmd+V from the clip clipboard the same way it keeps Delete. Without it Cmd+V duplicated the clip while the automation paste wrote the same file, and Cmd+C armed both clipboards. It returns without preventDefault — the downstream handler needs the key — and declines when the automation clipboard is empty so clip paste still works. dispatchModifierKey is exported to pin this, like dispatchPlainKey. - Double-action: the hook now returns early on e.defaultPrevented. useAppHotkeys is on window/capture and deliberately lets a keyframe selection outrank a range on Delete; without this that press deleted the keyframes there AND emptied the range here. - Project scoping: the clipboard scopes itself. Every entry point carries the project it speaks for and a mismatch empties the module, the shape keyframeSlice already uses to discard a request from a previous session. Scoping it inside the module rather than clearing it from the session seam is deliberate: the failure is silent and destructive — a range copied in project A pasted into B is remapped through A's captured sourceRange for an FX node B may not have, and the keystroke is consumed so clip paste never runs — so no future caller should be able to forget the guard. The mark isLastPasteSpan reads is scoped transitively, through the same check. - Session reset: createTimelineResetState clears automationSelection. It is as ephemeral as selectedKeyframes, and a range surviving a project switch can match a same-keyed clip in the new project and redirect a paste through sel.elementKey === paste.elementKey to a stale t0. Five of the six paste fixes above shipped without a test that fails without them, which is how the branch reached review with a comment describing chaining that the code did not do. Each now has one: a second Cmd+V landing after the first, a commit-target mismatch declining, an out-of-clip playhead declining, an empty-lane copy leaving an earlier clipboard intact, and Cmd+V with CapsLock on. All five fail against this branch's parent.
