[Bug]: Mobile terminal ctrl+v pastes the host PC's clipboard instead of the phone's

• I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
• I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

apps/mobile

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the T3 Code server on a Windows machine (the terminal shell defaults to PowerShell).
2. On the iOS app, copy a shell command, e.g. a git command from a chat code block.
3. Open the thread's terminal.
4. In the keyboard accessory toolbar tap ctrl, then type v on the software keyboard.

Expected behavior

The command on the phone's clipboard is pasted into the terminal. Ctrl+V is the paste chord every user of a Windows host reaches for, and the web terminal pastes the browser's clipboard on the same chord. There is no other way to paste on iOS: the terminal surface has no edit menu and long-press does nothing (#6394 tracks adding a visible paste control).

Actual behavior

Whatever the host PC last copied gets pasted. In my case that was the last prompt I had sent the thread, not the git command on my phone.

The mobile toolbar encodes ctrl+v as the raw 0x16 control byte and forwards it to the pty. PSReadLine binds Ctrl+V to Paste, which reads the host machine's clipboard, so the remote shell inserts the desktop's clipboard rather than the phone's. On macOS or Linux hosts the same byte is quoted-insert and pastes nothing at all, so the chord is a silent no-op there.

Impact

Major degradation or frequent failure

Version or commit

Environment

iOS app (native Ghostty terminal surface), Windows 11 host running pwsh.exe.

Workaround

None on iOS. Retype the command by hand.
