b1f6b7ef77 feat(desktop): preserve mentions across copy and paste (#7228)
Copying a message out of the timeline lost the mention. The rendered
chip drops
the `@` for display, so the clipboard carried "John Smith" — two
ordinary words
no composer could bind back to a pubkey. Pasting into another channel
produced
dead text, and sending it tagged nobody.

## What changed

Every Buzz copy now writes two clipboard flavors in one transaction:

- **`text/plain`** — readable anywhere, sigils restored, no pubkeys.
This is what
  TextEdit, Slack, and every other external app receive.
- **`text/html`** — the same content with each mention wrapped in a span
carrying
  `data-mention-pubkey` / `-label` / `-kind`.

On paste, the composer harvests those records, registers each `name →
pubkey`
with the existing mention machinery, and inserts the content: the chip
re-lights
and the send path recovers the identity the author tagged. A marker
attribute
records what the plain flavor holds, so a Markdown copy pastes through
the text
pipeline and a rendered copy through the HTML one.

**Covered surfaces:** timeline selection copy, thread-panel selection
copy,
forum post/reply selection copy, "Copy message", and composer copy/cut —
plus
paste in both the channel and forum composers.

## Trust boundary

Clipboard HTML is untrusted, and the branch treats it that way:

- Records are capped (50), labels bounded (200 chars), and a pubkey must
be
  64 hex before it can become a `p` tag.
- **Only mentions the paste actually shows are registered.** An empty
`<span data-mention-pubkey=… -label="Jane Doe">` would otherwise rebind
that
display name for the rest of the composer session, so a later
hand-written
@Jane Doe would chip-light convincingly against the attacker's key. Each
  branch registers only the records whose label appears in the text *it*
inserts, matched with `getMentionOffsets` — the same matcher the
send-time
  extractor uses.
- **The visibility gate reads only what ProseMirror will insert.**
`DOMParser` hard-drops `script`, `style`, `title`, `noscript`, `object`,
and
`head` content, so `visible<style>@Jane Doe</style>` beside an empty
chip span
used to smuggle a binding past the gate. Those elements are stripped
before
  either output is derived.
- **A partial chip never gains a sigil.** A selection crossing a chip
boundary
falls through to the browser's default copy, which serializes the full
identity
attributes around a slice of the text — pasting that invented "@Smith"
out of
"John Smith". Paste now leaves a fragment as plain text, tolerating only
what a
whole chip picks up in transit (restored sigil, author casing, U+00A0
swaps,
  and the label cap's own ellipsis).

Both clipboard sides share one `matchChipTextToLabel` helper, in the
module that
owns the label attributes, so copy and paste cannot drift on what counts
as a
whole chip.

## Notes

- Mention matching reuses `getMentionOffsets`, so code spans and fences
are
  excluded and the longest display name wins.
- The plain flavor inlines chip boxes before reading `innerText`; a chip
is a
flex container, so the browser's own copy split "@John Smith" onto its
own line.
- `MarkdownMention` and `MacEmacsTextShortcuts` are extracted verbatim
from
`markdown.tsx` and `useRichTextEditor.ts` to keep both files under the
size gate.

## Testing

- ~40 unit tests over the flavor builder/parser, the visibility filter,
the
  ignored-tag sweep, and the chip-match verdicts.
- A Playwright spec (`desktop/tests/e2e/mention-clipboard.spec.ts`)
driving real
  copy/cut/paste DOM events: timeline and "Copy message" of a multi-word
non-member mention pasted into another channel and sent with the
original
pubkey in its `p` tag; the forum copy → forum reply round trip; composer
  copy/cut; plain flavor asserted to contain no 64-hex string; the
boundary-crossing drag; and the hidden-record and `<style>` smuggling
vectors.
- Every regression test is bound to a production seam and fails with its
guard
  removed.
- `just ci` / pre-push lanes green (5927 desktop unit tests, typecheck,
lint,
  file-size gate).

44d19f59a5 fix(desktop): preserve spacing after multi-word mentions (#7128)
🤖

## Summary

In Buzz Desktop, choosing a multi-word name and immediately continuing a
sentence could swallow the space after the mention: `Hey @Alice
Chenhello`. This keeps the separator, so the same action produces `Hey
@Alice Chen hello` without moving the caret or repairing the name by
hand.

The editor recognizes the complete selected label, including its
internal spaces, and settles the autocomplete caret after the trailing
separator. Deliberately moving left or clicking inside the label still
lets you edit there; this is not a rule that forces every caret to the
end of a mention.

### Related issue

Independent base: `main`. Child:
[#7133](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/7133), whose disambiguated
labels also contain spaces. Extracted from
[#7114](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/7114), retained as historical

· channel `f7a9536a-1738-4bad-a888-b3ea25010ef1`.

### Testing

Select an existing member named Alice Chen, then type `hello`
immediately. Repeat after ArrowLeft or clicking inside the mention:
typing should follow your chosen caret position.

Mock-browser captures, not live remote-agent evidence:

#### Immediate typing preserves the separator
Choosing the complete label then typing produces `Hey @Alice Chen
hello`.

#### Deliberate caret movement is respected
After ArrowLeft, typing edits at the chosen caret rather than forcing
the caret back beyond the separator.

#### Evidence and limitations

**5,801 desktop tests**, **45 focused editor tests**, both new browser
regressions, the browser-test build and static/type/size checks passed.
[Applicable CI
passed](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/33421534320).

The broader browser run had **132 passes / 6 failures**: two
clipboard-origin setup failures and four generic caret-formatting
failures also reproduced on unchanged main. Full local `just ci` stopped
at three native timing/probe failures; a same-head native rerun passed
**3,005 tests** with 18 existing ignores. This is not a full local-CI
pass. The change fixes insertion and caret behavior, not duplicate-name
recipient selection, discovery or invitation.
