Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Insert: paste into a WKWebView page field, confirmed by
 its value (#5)

desktop_insert's paste route into a web <input>, <textarea> or contenteditable in a
background WKWebView app was refused before sending: the window wasn't key, so the
app reported no focused window, and a WKWebView app names no AXFocusedUIElement, so
the field's text couldn't be read back. pasteText now makes an inactive app's window
key first (prepareKeys, as typing does), and the receiver read accepts the page
field that reports AXFocused itself.

Why: native2/Sources/DesktopMac/Paste.swift | a WKWebView app names no AXFocusedUIElement and its window must be key before the page field reports focus; prepare the window, then find the field through focusedWebElement, before reading the baseline

+pasteAttachment: the receiver check comes before requireKeyboardFocus so a background web field gets PASTE_UNVERIFIABLE_RECEIVER, as on Node, not a focus refusal. pasteText instead prepares the window first, since a web field's text paste can be read back (#5)
