#3. Read cliphist's history rather than keeping our own
#Context
Clipboard history needs a watcher running all the time, storage and deletion. cliphist already does this well on Wayland and other tools read it.
#Decision
smriti is only the interface: it lists, previews, copies, pins and deletes through cliphist. Pins are kept by smriti in its own state file.
#Consequences
- No second clipboard daemon.
- smriti requires cliphist (and
wl-clipboard) to be set up.
