From the README roadmap.

Copy password uses Lomiri's Clipboard API and is meant to clear after 45 s, like pass -c. Lomiri suspends background apps, so the timer may not fire until the user comes back to TouchPass — the password would stay pasteable much longer than promised.

To do:

On the phone: copy, paste into another app, confirm it works.
Copy, switch away for > 45 s, paste again. Does the clipboard still hold the password?
If yes: fix (e.g. clear on suspend / Qt.application.state change, or clear on return and say so in the UI), and correct the README's claim.

Blocks 0.1.0: the README currently promises behaviour that may not hold.

Can confirm from manual testing that even after 10+ minutes, the password can still be pasted if the user switches to another application before the 45 seconds have elapsed

Scripted app flows: drive the full app on the desktop, like Playwright #17
