## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The UI serves agent management pages including an instructions editor with copy-to-clipboard buttons
> - The Clipboard API (`navigator.clipboard.writeText`) requires a secure context (HTTPS or localhost)
> - Users accessing the UI over HTTP on a LAN IP get "Copy failed" when clicking the copy icon
> - This pull request adds an `execCommand("copy")` fallback in `CopyText` for non-secure contexts
> - The benefit is that copy buttons work reliably regardless of whether the page is served over HTTPS or plain HTTP
## What Changed
- `ui/src/components/CopyText.tsx`: Added `window.isSecureContext` check before using `navigator.clipboard`. When unavailable, falls back to creating a temporary `<textarea>`, selecting its content, and using `document.execCommand("copy")`. The return value is checked and the DOM element is cleaned up via `try/finally`.
## Verification
- Access the UI over HTTP on a non-localhost IP (e.g. `http://[local-ip]:3100`)
- Navigate to any agent's instructions page → Advanced → click the copy icon next to Root path
- Should show "Copied!" tooltip and the path should be on the clipboard
## Risks
- Low risk. `execCommand("copy")` is deprecated in the spec but universally supported by all major browsers. The fallback only activates in non-secure contexts where the modern API is unavailable. If/when HTTPS is enabled, the modern `navigator.clipboard` path is used automatically.
