// Broad @match needed: GitHub uses SPA navigation, so the MutationObserver
// re-adds the button as the PR header re-renders.
//
// navigator.clipboard.write (not GM_setClipboard): we write BOTH text/html
// (<a href>) and text/plain (the URL) in one ClipboardItem. Slack and Notion
// read the HTML and render a named link showing the title; plain-text targets
// (markdown files, code editors, anything with no rich paste) get the URL - a
// working link, not an unlinked title. Mirrors Notion's native "Copy link".
// GM_setClipboard writes a single plain flavor only. No fetch -> no GM grants.
