Contributions summary:Ruchir primarily focused on fixing clipboard-related bugs within the application's UI, specifically impacting file path copying in the project and asset explorer views. These fixes involved modifying how data was set to the clipboard, switching from `SetText` to `SetDataObject` in some cases. They also introduced the Nodify library into the project, suggesting they might be involved in developing visual node-based systems. Furthermore, the revert commit indicates they were iterating on a specific UI bug fix.
