Note
Medium Risk
Adds new API surface that reads/writes the X11 clipboard by invoking
xclip, which can be fragile across display/env setups and affects host/container state. Changes are otherwise localized with an e2e test and image dependency update.Overview
Adds clipboard support to the computer API via new
POST /computer/clipboard/readandPOST /computer/clipboard/writeendpoints, wired through generated OAPI types/clients and implemented incomputer.gousingxclip(with serialized access viainputMu).Updates the headless Chromium Docker image to install
xclip, and adds an e2e test (TestClipboardHeadless) that verifies the new routes exist inspec.yamland that a write followed by read round-trips the expected text.Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit eefd81d. This will update automatically on new commits. Configure here.
