The file explorer context menu has no way to copy or duplicate a file. The only way to move a file is to drag it (which itself is broken per issue #74). There is no "Duplicate" shortcut, no "Copy here", and no way to paste a file from the clipboard.
This is a missing basic file management operation.
What needs to happen
At minimum, add a "Duplicate" option to the file context menu that creates a copy of the file in the same directory with a name like filename copy.ext or filename (1).ext.
Optionally, support Cut / Copy / Paste for files:
- Right-click > Copy puts the file path on an internal clipboard
- Right-click a folder > Paste copies the file into that folder
- Keyboard: Ctrl+C / Ctrl+X / Ctrl+V when a file is selected in the tree

Acceptance criteria
- Right-clicking a file shows a "Duplicate" option
- Duplicate creates the copy in the same directory and opens the rename input so the user can immediately give it a proper name
- The tree refreshes to show the new file
