fix(cli): Ctrl+V now pastes text from clipboard

[idreesmuhammadqazi-create]

Summary

Fixes Ctrl+V paste functionality in the Kilo CLI TUI. Previously, Ctrl+V only pasted images from the clipboard. Text paste relied on terminal bracketed paste mode, which doesn't work in all terminal configurations. This fix adds explicit text clipboard handling when Ctrl+V is pressed.

Problem

When users pressed Ctrl+V in the Kilo CLI prompt:

• If clipboard contained an image → worked correctly
• If clipboard contained text → nothing happened (in terminals without bracketed paste)

The issue occurred because the input_paste keybind handler only checked for images and did nothing for text content.

Solution

Extended the input_paste handler in packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/component/prompt/index.tsx to:

1. Read clipboard content using Clipboard.read()
2. If it's an image → paste as attachment (existing behavior)
3. If it's text → normalize line endings, apply paste summary for large text, and insert at cursor position
4. Prevent default to avoid duplicate pastes

Modified Files

• packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/component/prompt/index.tsx (lines 930-959)

Testing

Tested with the following scenarios:

1. Text clipboard → Pastes at cursor position with proper formatting
2. Large text (>5 lines or >800 chars) → Shows paste summary badge
3. Image clipboard → Pastes as attachment (existing behavior preserved)
4. Multiple terminals → Works in terminals that forward Ctrl+V to the application

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
• Documentation update

Notes

This is a minimal fix that follows existing patterns in the codebase. The paste summary feature was already implemented and is reused here for consistency.
