How it works

Device.getClipboard() reads the clipboard into text. The compiler emits a "Get Clipboard" action and binds its magic-variable output to text.

The menu block provides three options:

• Share passes the clipboard text to the system share sheet with Sharing.share().
• Copy Uppercase transforms the text with Text.changeCase(), writes it to the clipboard, and displays a confirmation.
• Show inserts text into an alert with string interpolation.
