Subject: [PATCH] feat(ui): add /copy slash command to copy last message

- Register /copy (alias /cp) in the System command category
- Walk the scrollback to find the last user/assistant/reasoning
  message, skipping transient system messages
- Reuse internal/ui/clipboard.CopyToClipboard for OSC 52 + native
  clipboard support (works over SSH)
- Document the command in /help
