Cliptray is a clipboard history manager, so direct St.Clipboard access is essential to its purpose. St.Clipboard.get_default() (lib/clipboard.js:12) obtains the default clipboard. It reads the clipboard via get_text/get_content on a polling timer to record history entries (lib/clipboard.js:79, :67). It writes back via set_text/set_content only in response to an explicit user click on a history entry (lib/clipboard.js:46, :56). A short self-write suppression window prevents re-recording the extension's own writes. No clipboard data leaves the machine: history is kept in memory, and only user-pinned entries are persisted locally to pinned.json under the user data dir. There is no networking, sync, or telemetry. A "Private Mode" toggle lets users pause recording entirely.
