2	# alloy-clipstore — store a clipboard selection, unless it is a secret.
3	#
4	# What the sway config's two `wl-paste --watch` lines call instead of
5	# `cliphist store` directly. The read half is still alloy-clipmenu and the
6	# store is still cliphist's; this only decides whether an item reaches it.
7	#
8	# The rule is one line: if alloy-secret-copy left its sentinel, this selection
9	# is a password on its way to a paste and is not history. See that script for
10	# why a sentinel rather than the `x-kde-passwordManagerHint` MIME convention,
11	# and for the failure direction it is built around. GO alloy problem e7a9e38c.
12	#
13	# Consuming stdin on the skip path is deliberate. `wl-paste --watch` writes the
14	# selection to this process; exiting without reading it leaves the writer with
15	# a closed pipe and a SIGPIPE on the next selection, which is a broken watcher
16	# rather than a skipped item.
