make clipboard-bridge loads org.nonrational.clipboard-bridge, a socket-activated launch agent on 127.0.0.1:2224 that answers image requests from the pasteboard and nothing else. home/.ssh/config.d/exe.conf reverse-forwards that port into every *.exe.xyz session and shares connections between windows; add Include config.d/*.conf as the first line of ~/.ssh/config once. Inside a VM, Claude Code's ctrl+v then pastes whatever image is on the mac clipboard. The VM half is the wl-paste shim in nonreagent/dotfiles; design and trust model: clipboard bridge design. The include is global, so OpenSSH's permission check on it gates every ssh: if they all start failing with Bad owner or permissions on ~/.ssh/config.d/exe.conf, chmod 644 the repo's copy.

Since live-copies are symlinked out, commit and push changes as necessary.

For big refactors, don't try to do it live; use a separate clone or worktrees.
