Research direction

Start by reproducing the clipboard-read failure in Safari on iPadOS 18.2 with code-server 4.96.2, noting that the issue's secure-context checkbox is unchecked and the expected and actual results are identical. Compare the behavior with native VS Code and GitHub Codespaces; done would require a confirmed fix or a clearly documented platform limitation, but no source file or test is identified.
