Guidance

• Review the VS Code API documentation to determine the best approach for accessing the chat panel's text selection and clipboard functionality.

• Investigate how to listen for text selection events in the chat panel to trigger the auto-copy behavior.
• Evaluate the security implications of automatically copying text to the clipboard, ensuring that the feature does not introduce any vulnerabilities.
