When a clipboard image is detected, users see an `\"Image in clipboard \u00b7 [key] to paste\"` notification. The native path reads PNG data directly, handles resizing, and falls back to the original osascript method if the native module is unavailable.\n\n**Evidence**\n\nNative clipboard reader (search for `\"native clipboard reader unavailable\"`, `\"Image in clipboard\"`, `\"tengu_collage_kaleidoscope\"`)\n\n- Flag `tengu_collage_kaleidoscope`: On for this account, and not off by default (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.73; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, compiled default: no gate table built for this version) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release."}
