/**
* Cleans up terminal selections for pasting into other tools.
*
* Terminal UI padding (left margin from the xterm container, alignment spaces
* at end of line) ends up in the copied text. This helper removes that cruft
* while preserving the *relative* indentation of the content — so code blocks
* keep their shape but lose the wrapper padding.
*
* Steps:
* 1. Dedent — strip the common leading whitespace count from every line.
* 2. trimEnd — drop trailing whitespace per line.
* 3. Drop fully-blank leading and trailing lines.
*
* Internal newlines and relative indentation are preserved. Pure function.
