AI Command using clipboard instead of highlight

in progress

Static

Command is not using highlighted text, but is instead using an old copied text.

Still getting the same error on the latest version: "Failed to get the highlighted text". I have reset the accessibility permission several times without any change. 
This happens when there is nothing in the clipboard, which can be done by going into the terminal and entering this command: pbcopy < /dev/null
It only works if I first copy the text to the clipboard and then perform this operation.

Static: remind me again which OS version are you on? Thanks

Daniel Nguyen latest version. MacOS 14.

Static I remember you set a firewall on BoltAI. Which is not related to this. But I wonder if you also use other utilities to set certain flags/settings on BoltAI?
Very few people have this issue. It’s like BoltAI has no accessibility access at all. 
Was you able to use it with the Notes app?

Daniel Nguyen I closed down every other app to confirm and it is still the same issue. Interestingly enough, Notes is the only app that works as expected. No issues with highlighting in the Notes app. There is a flash when the AI command is passed and then the result appears. Is the flash normal (can't see flash in recording)? No other app works, unless I copy first.

Can you try reset the Accessibility Permission? 
I messed up the previous version (v1.16.0) that I removed an important entitlement.
Can you try again with v1.16.1

Daniel Nguyen This is the issue I experienced with 1.16.1 after resetting the accessibility permission.

Static: I see. I'll take a deeper look. And I assume you haven't upgraded your OS. Some users upgraded to Mac Sequoia and it does seem to cause some issues.

Static

Daniel Nguyen I have not upgraded.

Daniel Nguyen Any updates on this? Even with the latest version, I still get the Error: Failed to get highlighted text. If there's something in the clipboard, it will use that and once I clear the clipboard, it will give me the above error.
