🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Fall back when the paste endpoint returns a non-success status.

Both calls only handle network rejection. fetch resolves for HTTP 400 and HTTP 500. If the session is unavailable or the host clipboard write fails, the handlers reset the input and drop the text.

Check response.ok and throw for a non-success response so the existing DataChannel fallback sends the text.

Proposed fix pattern 
-				fetch("/api/clipboard/paste", {
+				void fetch("/api/clipboard/paste", {
 					method: "POST",
 					headers: {
 						...headers,
 						"Content-Type": "application/json",
 					},
 					body: JSON.stringify({
 						sessionId: activeSessionId,
 						text: textToSend,
 					}),
-				}).catch(() => {
-					broadcastMessage({ type: "text", text: textToSend })
-				})
+				})
+					.then((response) => {
+						if (!response.ok) throw new Error("Clipboard paste failed")
+					})
+					.catch(() => {
+						broadcastMessage({ type: "text", text: textToSend })
+					})

In `@src/routes/trackpad.tsx` around lines 221 - 238, Update both fetch calls to
/api/clipboard/paste in the trackpad text handling flow so their promise chains
validate response.ok and reject non-success HTTP responses before the existing
catch handlers. Preserve the current broadcastMessage fallback for both network
errors and unsuccessful responses.
