…n GTK quadraui's GTK runner reads the system clipboard on Ctrl+V / Ctrl+Shift+V / middle-click and delivers UiEvent::ClipboardPaste, unconditionally consuming the key — there was no arm for it in ShellApp::handle, so the event fell into the catch-all `_` and paste silently did nothing. Added the arm, routing through the same Engine::route_paste TUI's ClipboardPaste handler already uses. route_paste gained an explorer-rename (tree inline-edit) branch: it's a distinct focus context that isn't gated by engine.mode, so without it a paste there would have fallen through to normal-mode `p`-paste dispatch instead of inserting into the rename field. Deleted Msg::ClipboardPasteToInput and its two GDK read_text_async producers (the "PasteClipboard" synthetic-key branch and the search-focus ctrl+v branch in handle_key_press) — both were unreachable: quadraui now intercepts Ctrl+V before a raw KeyPressed for it is ever dispatched, and the synthetic "PasteClipboard" key name was never produced by anything. Adds a GtkDriver black-box test asserting the *rendered* command-line text after a dispatched ClipboardPaste event (verified RED against the pre-fix handle() catch-all), plus a core-engine unit test for the new explorer-rename route_paste branch.
