You no longer need to read a separate format card or choose a mode before pasting.

### The separate format card is gone; pasting follows the target app

The separate `Smart` format area beneath the recording bar has been removed. optionOS reads the target app and selects the appropriate paste route automatically. Unknown targets use referenced text.
