Thanks for the quick review - pushing the fix now.

Name the clip.
Recall it anywhere.
There is no separate snippet library to maintain. Expansions start as ordinary clips, so they can still be searched, tagged, pinned, and updated in one place.
Assign a keyword
Choose a clip already in history and give it a short expansion keyword such as @sig, @addr, or @standup.
Type it normally
Pastry watches the local typing buffer for a match. A compact suggestion appears next to the caret without pulling focus from the current application.
Accept or ignore
Press Tab to replace the keyword with the original clip. Press Escape or keep typing to leave the text exactly as it is.
One useful result,

The boundary
Local recall, with an off-ramp.
Keyword matching and replacement happen on your Mac. Pastry’s ignored-application rules also gate text expansion, and every suggestion can be dismissed without changing what you typed.
