Subject: [PATCH] fix: detach wl-copy from parent process on Wayland clipboard
 copy

wl-copy must stay alive to hold the Wayland clipboard seat. Using
cmd.Run() caused it to be killed when the clipse TUI exited, clearing
the clipboard. Switching to cmd.Start() with Setsid:true detaches
wl-copy into its own session so it survives the parent process exit.
