a copy button on the console, and the failure case spelled out

a failure is something somebody PASTES — into a search, into a message, back to
whoever wrote the thing that broke. selecting text inside a scrolled box, on a
phone, is the point at which people screenshot an error instead, and a screenshot
of a stack trace helps nobody.

the button is pinned to the corner of the BOX and not scrolled with the text: one
that leaves the viewport when the transcript is long is missing exactly when the
transcript is worth copying. `pr-10` keeps the output from running underneath it,
and it carries its own dark background because it sits over the console rather
than beside it.

`copyToClipboard` from helpers, the same one CopyField uses, rather than reaching
for navigator.clipboard here.

the no-timer-on-failure rule was already the behaviour; the comment now says the
part that was only implied. the half-done case is the one that matters and it is
named: a clone that worked followed by an install that did not is a failure, `ok`
is false, and the transcript of BOTH stays. the only thing that clears it is
starting the next attempt — the one moment it stops being true.
