 - Fixed `pi -p` treating prompts that start with YAML frontmatter as extension flags instead of user messages ([#4163](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/4163)).
 - Fixed pending tool results not updating in the live TUI after toggling thinking block visibility while the tool is running ([#4167](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/4167)).
+- Fixed `/copy` reporting success on Linux without writing the clipboard on Wayland-only compositors (Hyprland, Niri, ...) by skipping the X11-only native addon on Linux and routing through `wl-copy`/`xclip`/`xsel` instead ([#4177](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/4177)).
