Objective

Implement the clipboard and QR presentation paths used by base pass and pass-otp without helper processes.

Scope

Support show --clip/--qrcode with optional line number and generate --clip/--qrcode.
Support OTP code and URI clipboard output plus OTP URI QR output.
Generate QR matrices and terminal rendering in Rust; return platform-neutral QR data from crates/storage.
Use native clipboard APIs or narrow platform FFI, restore or clear clipboard contents after the configured timeout, and avoid overwriting newer user clipboard content.
Ensure CLI output never prints a secret when clipboard or QR mode was requested.

Acceptance criteria

Tests cover line selection, invalid lines, mutual exclusion, QR round trips, timeout behavior, cancellation, and clipboard race protection.
No xclip, wl-clipboard, pbcopy, qrencode, shell, or other process is launched.
Secret values are not logged or retained after presentation completes.

Prerequisites

Read/search commands; secure secret storage.

Implemented in commit b8c614e and pushed to main.

Implementation:

added storage-owned clipboard lifecycle with a 45-second pass-compatible default, configurable 1..300 second lease, previous-content restore/clear, cancellation cleanup, and newer-content race protection;
added safe native desktop clipboard adapters through arboard with Linux password-manager history exclusion and no helper processes;
added storage-owned, zeroizing QR matrices and terminal rendering using pure Rust qrcode encoding;
wired show --clip/--qrcode line presentation and generate --clip/--qrcode through the shared service without printing plaintext;
exposed the same byte-oriented clipboard/QR primitives for pass-otp code and URI presentation;
documented configuration, platform behavior, secret lifecycle, and dependency choices.

Issue-focused verification:

presentation tests cover default/configured timeout validation, restore, clear, cancellation, cleanup failures, newer clipboard races, redaction, OTP code/URI clipboard payloads, QR round trips including otpauth URIs and Unicode, empty/oversized errors, and plaintext-free terminal rendering;
read/command contract tests cover line selection, invalid lines, and clipboard/QR mutual exclusion;
CLI tests cover show and generate clipboard/QR paths, encrypted entry creation, and no plaintext on stdout/stderr;
scoped strict clippy passed and the source audit found no xclip, wl-clipboard command, pbcopy, qrencode, shell, or other process launch.

Required gates passed:

cargo fmt --all -- --check
RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo check --workspace --all-targets
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo test --workspace
