[gotcha] Copy button copies incomplete text when user clicks during streaming
Disable the copy-to-clipboard button until the stream's finish\_reason is received, or dynamically update the clipboard content if copied early. Disabling is the standard UX pattern to prevent silent data loss.
Journey Context:
Users see a good answer forming and immediately hit copy. If the UI allows it, they paste a truncated sentence elsewhere and don't realize it's incomplete until later. This creates false confidence in the AI's output. Disabling copy during streaming prevents this silent failure, though it requires clear visual indication \(like a pulsing cursor\) that the message is still generating.
