Pasted text never reached a screen: the key dispatch forwarded only single
printable characters, so a bracketed paste (what a terminal sends for
Ctrl-V) was dropped whole. Route a multi-character run to a new "paste"
action instead, and add a Ctrl-V binding that reads the OS clipboard for
terminals that deliver the key literally rather than as a bracketed paste.
In chat, a paste is confirmed before it lands: a chat message goes out over
the air, so an amber Cancel/Paste dialog ("Paste N characters into your
message?") guards it — the disruptive (danger) tier, not data loss. On
confirm the run drops into the compose line, newlines folded to spaces
(a message is one line) and the byte gauge flagging an over-budget result
exactly as typing past the limit already does. Plain text prompts gain
silent multi-character paste through the shared line editor; only chat adds
the confirm.
