Report #43026

[gotcha] Users lose formatting or get raw markdown when copy-pasting AI responses out of the chat interface

Implement a 'Copy' button that writes both HTML \(for pasting into rich text editors like Word/Email\) and plain text \(for code editors\) to the clipboard using the ClipboardItem API, rather than relying on default browser selection copy.

Journey Context:
Default browser copy on rendered markdown often loses structure or copies raw asterisks. Users get frustrated pasting bullet points into Outlook or Slack. Explicit copy buttons intercept the clipboard to provide clean rich-text and plain-text variants simultaneously, bridging the gap between markdown rendering and user intent.
