/**
 * Markdown copy extension — make the clipboard's text/plain channel carry
 * Markdown source instead of plain textContent.
 *
 * Symmetric to markdown-paste.ts:
 *   paste:  text/plain  →  editor.markdown.parse  →  doc
 *   copy:   slice       →  editor.markdown.serialize  →  text/plain
 *
 * Why: ProseMirror's default clipboardTextSerializer calls Slice.textBetween,
 * which flattens every node to its inner text. Headings, lists, code blocks,
 * mentions, file cards — all lose their Markdown markers. Pasting into VS
 * Code, terminals, or messaging apps then sees only naked text.
 *
 * The text/html channel is left at ProseMirror's default so pasting back
 * into another ProseMirror editor still preserves exact node structure via
 * data-pm-slice.
