chord polish: the selection a 1-2/1-3 chord leaves behind is dismissed by the next left click instead of stretching to it (explicit v/x selections keep click-extend), and in a tty-mode shell 1-3 now pastes into the pty like a terminal emulator — the click is forwarded first (SGR or X10, only when the app listens for mouse) so mouse-aware programs paste at the click point, then the register arrives bracketed (mode 2004) or with \n->\r when unbracketed; 1-2 stays inert there. chordcut.snap pins both (a cat -v probe shows the exact wire bytes); tutor updated.
