Subject: [PATCH] Change message copy button to copy content instead of anchor
 link
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The per-message copy button previously copied a URL with a hash
anchor (#msg-{uuid}) for deep linking. Replace this with copying
the actual message content: for tool_call messages it copies the
tool name and input; for all other categories it copies the text
body. This is more immediately useful — users copying message
content is far more common than sharing anchor links.

Button title updated from "Copy link to message" to "Copy message
content" to match the new behavior.
