      "Excerpt": "Tracking issue for the follow-up to PR #146.\n\nPR #146 (the Windows backend pywin32 refactor) is scoped to text formats only -- text/plain, text/html, text/rtf, image/svg+xml, multi-format atomic writes, and list_formats. The image read/write paths (`_windows_read_image`, `_windows_write_image` in `src/mcp_clipboard/clipboard.py`) **stay on the PowerShell-subprocess backend** in Phase 1 because porting them needs DIB to PNG conversion which is enough additional work to deserve its own PR.\n\nThis i",

Current state: `tests/test_server.py` mocks every Windows code path through `unittest.mock.patch` on `_run` / `_run_with_stdin`, so the actual PowerShell behavior is never exercised in CI.

This issue closes the asymmetry.\n\nThis is intentionally **not** a `clipboard_copy_image` extension. That tool (#108 / #111) is strictly binary bytes with magic-byte validation.
