Add 'Duplicate' option to file context menu that creates a copy of the selected file in the same directory with automatic name deduplication. Changes: - Add 'duplicate' translation key to all 37 language files - Implement duplicate menu item in UIItem.js context menu - Use puter.fs.copy() API with dedupeName parameter for automatic unique filename generation (e.g., 'file (1).txt', 'file (2).txt') - Restrict duplicate option to files only (not directories) - Exclude duplicate option from trash and trashed items The feature leverages existing backend deduplication logic that automatically handles naming conflicts by appending sequential numbers to duplicate filenames.

Solution
