Description

This update adds smart clipboard detection to the "Convert to" commands and fixes email HTML conversion.

Smart clipboard detection (fixes #26238)
The "Convert to Google Docs", "Convert to Word", "Convert to HTML", and "Convert to Slack" commands now detect when the clipboard contains rich text instead of Markdown/Org. When rich text is detected, the command automatically round-trips it through Markdown first, then converts to the target format — so users get clean output in one step instead of silently degraded results.

Toast messages now show the conversion path taken (e.g. "Rich text → Markdown → Google Docs") so the user knows what happened.

Email layout table handling
Email HTML from Gmail, Outlook, etc. uses table elements for visual layout rather than data. These layout tables previously caused content loss and broken Markdown table delimiters (| --- |). The converter now detects layout tables (role="presentation", border="0" with nested tables, th with block content) and unwraps them before conversion, preserving text, links, and formatting.
