---# Image UI from paste clipboard

Context: The current media upload interface supports:\n\nDirect file upload via <input type="file">\n\nURL-based media linking via text input\n\nNew Capabilities:\n\n1. 📎 Clipboard Image Paste Support\nEnable users to paste images directly from their clipboard (e.g., screenshots or copied images) into the media upload interface.\n\nFunctional Requirements:\n\nDetect and handle paste events within the media upload area.\n\nIf clipboard contains image data (e.g., PNG, JPEG), extract and preview it as a media entry.\n\nTreat pasted images as equivalent to uploaded files:\n\nShow preview thumbnail\n\nAllow removal or replacement\n\nInclude in submission payload\n\nGracefully ignore non-image clipboard content.\n\nTechnical Notes:\n\nUse ClipboardEvent API to access clipboard contents.\n\nSupport Ctrl+V / Cmd+V and drag-and-paste interactions.\n\nEnsure cross-browser compatibility.\n\nUI Considerations:\n\nAdd a tooltip or visual cue indicating that pasting images is supported.\n\nOptionally highlight the drop zone on paste.\n\n2. ➕ Multi-Media Entry Support\nAllow users to add multiple media items (files, URLs, or pasted images) by dynamically appending new rows or blocks.\n\nFunctional Requirements:\n\nProvide a visible “+ Add Media” button to append additional media input rows.\n\nEach row should support:\n\nFile upload\n\nURL input\n\nClipboard paste\n\nAllow users to remove or reorder media entries.\n\nValidate each entry independently.\n\nTechnical Notes:\n\nUse a repeatable component pattern for each media row.\n\nEnsure unique identifiers for each entry to support form submission and validation.\n\nMaintain consistent styling and behavior across all rows.\n\nUI Considerations:\n\nUse collapsible or scrollable layout if media entries exceed viewport.\n\nProvide clear labels and error handling per row.
