Copy-all

/copy-all copies the user and assistant messages of the current thread to the clipboard as plain text. pi has no built-in way to export a thread, so the extension reads the session branch itself and calls copyToClipboard.

How it works

The handler calls await ctx.waitForIdle() before it reads anything, so the copy covers a settled thread and cannot race an active turn. It then turns ctx.sessionManager.getBranch() into output:

• Entries keep only entry.type === "message" with a user or assistant role. Tool calls, tool results, custom messages and compaction entries never appear.
• A string content is used as is. In a block array, text blocks keep their text, each image block becomes [image], and thinking and tool-call blocks are dropped.
• Each message becomes USER:\n<content> or ASSISTANT:\n<content>, with the content trimmed. Empty messages are dropped. Content blocks inside one message join with \n, and messages join with \n\n---\n\n.
• With nothing left to copy, the command shows the info notification No user or assistant messages to copy and writes nothing. Otherwise it copies and notifies Copied <N> messages to clipboard.
