@DhanushNehru I have resolved the issue kindly run the check, it is the connection failure in the vercel deployment but no error in my code, as the github copilot has sent me the notification "No Conflicts in the main branch "

As the code is dependent on other pull requests and commiting changes maybe it will be resolved by itself

Kindly merge it into the main and if you can tell me some changes to fix, mention them I will re run all the checks.

I have attached the 3rd attempt of running the code and it shows no conflicts with main branch.

The fallback clipboard implementation uses the deprecated document.execCommand('copy'). Consider using the modern Clipboard API with proper feature detection or a clipboard library for better browser compatibility.

Using array index as key in the map function can cause rendering issues if the output array is modified. Consider using a more stable key if possible, or ensure the output array is only appended to.
