Why
Pasting a clip (internal clipboard or OS clip JSON) stripped
idbut keptalias. Resolve then threwDuplicate alias "…" foundwhen the source clip was still on the timeline. Same failure mode for user aliases (e.g.VOICEOVER) and autosource_*aliases.Fix
Always remint paste identity when an alias is present: clear the source id, mint a new id, and set
aliasvia existinggenerateAlias. Applied in:pasteClip(selection manager)addClipFromJson/addTracksFromJson(OS clipboard paste paths)Non-paste add/update paths are unchanged.
Verify
Manual:
npm run dev, copy an aliased clip, paste at playhead — paste succeeds; original alias unchanged; pasted clip gets a newsource_*alias.Risk
Low. Paste-only. Clips without aliases behave as before (id stripped only). Pasted aliased clips no longer keep the source alias name (they get a fresh
source_*), which is intentional to avoid collisions.
