Issue Analysis

Root Cause: PR #86460 added "marked as done" display text for track-intent users in the rendering path (PureReportActionItem.tsx:1366-1372) but did not update the clipboard copy path or the thread view text resolution, which still always use the iou.submitted translation.

Recommended Fix: Add the same isTrackIntentUser && isSubmitAndClose(policy) check to the clipboard copy logic in ContextMenuActions.tsx:977-986 so it uses translate('iou.markedAsDone', ...) instead of translate('iou.submitted', ...) for track-intent users. The APPROVED action clipboard path at :987-993 likely needs the same treatment.

Investigation details

Three locations were missed in the original PR:

1. Clipboard copy for SUBMITTED — src/pages/inbox/report/ContextMenu/ContextMenuActions.tsx:977-986 always calls translate('iou.submitted') without checking track-intent status.

2. Clipboard copy for APPROVED — ContextMenuActions.tsx:987-993 always uses translate('iou.approvedMessage') instead of translate('iou.markedAsDone') for track-intent users.

3. Sidebar/LHN last message — src/libs/ReportUtils.ts:5830-5831 reads raw server message text via getReportActionMessageText(reportAction) which contains "submitted" from the server, with no track-intent override.

Correct behavior is demonstrated in PureReportActionItem.tsx:1366-1372 and :1395-1396, where the code checks isTrackIntentUser && isSubmitAndClose(policy) before choosing the translation key. The same pattern needs to be applied to the clipboard and sidebar paths.

Language keys:

• iou.submitted (en.ts:1405) → returns "submitted"
• iou.markedAsDone (en.ts:1406) → returns "marked as done"
