Editor state	Clipboard output
Active file, no selection	`@/absolute/path/to/file.ts`
Single line selected	`@/absolute/path/to/file.ts#L12`
Multiple lines selected	`@/absolute/path/to/file.ts#L12-L18`
Multi-cursor	each cursor rendered with its line, sorted top-to-bottom, joined with `,`
No active file / unsaved buffer	error notification — clipboard is left unchanged

Lines are 1-indexed. Paths use native separators (\ on Windows, / on macOS/Linux).
