Subject: [PATCH] feat(kon): replace browser clipboard with arboard

- New copy_to_clipboard Tauri command using arboard 3.6
- Replaced all 5 navigator.clipboard.writeText() calls across
  DictationPage, HistoryPage, FilesPage, and viewer with invoke()
- Native clipboard access independent of WebView permissions
