Josh McKinney a0b2d03302 Clear copy pill background and add snapshot test (#8777)
### Motivation
- Fix a visual bug where transcript text could bleed through the
on-screen copy "pill" overlay.
- Ensure the copy affordance fully covers the underlying buffer so the
pill background is solid and consistent with styling.
- Document the approach in-code to make the background-clearing
rationale explicit.

### Description
- Clear the pill area before drawing by iterating `Rect::positions()`
and calling `cell.set_symbol(" ")` and `cell.set_style(base_style)` in
`render_copy_pill` in `transcript_copy_ui.rs`.
- Added an explanatory comment for why the pill background is explicitly
cleared.
- Added a unit test `copy_pill_clears_background` and committed the
corresponding snapshot file to validate the rendering behavior.

### Testing
- Ran `just fmt` (formatting completed; non-blocking environment warning
may appear).
- Ran `just fix -p codex-tui2` to apply lints/fixes (completed). 
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-tui2` and all tests passed (snapshot updated
and tests succeeded).

//! Transcript-selection copy UX helpers.
//!
//! # Background
//!
//! TUI2 owns a logical transcript viewport (with history that can live outside the visible buffer),
//! plus its own selection model. Terminal-native selection/copy does not work reliably in this
//! setup because:
//!
//! - The selection can extend outside the current viewport, while terminal selection can't.
//! - We want to exclude non-content regions (like the left gutter) from copied text.
//! - The terminal may intercept some keybindings before the app ever sees them.
//!
//! This module centralizes:
//!
//! - The effective "copy selection" shortcut (so the footer and affordance stay in sync).
//! - Key matching for triggering copy (with terminal quirks handled in one place).
//! - A small on-screen clickable "⧉ copy …" pill rendered near the current selection.
//!
//! # VS Code shortcut rationale
//!
//! VS Code's integrated terminal commonly captures `Ctrl+Shift+C` for its own copy behavior and
//! does not forward the keypress to applications running inside the terminal. Since we can't
//! observe it via crossterm, we advertise and accept `Ctrl+Y` in that environment.
//!
//! Clipboard text reconstruction (preserving indentation, joining soft-wrapped
//! prose, and emitting Markdown source markers) lives in `transcript_copy`.
