BUG: Claude: Inline math clipped with extra space

**Version (please complete the following information):**

- OS: Fedora Linux 43
- Browser: Vivaldi
- Web Clipper version: 1.2.1
- Obsidian version: N/A, I use copy to clipboard in clipper.

**Describe the bug**

Selecting some text with inline math on claude and clipping introduces additional spaces before the closing `$` in inline math, making it fail to render.

```markdown
These four are collectively called the **standard decision problems** for formal language classes.

- **A (Acceptance):** Does machine $M $ accept string $w $? i.e., is $w \in L(M) $?
- **E (Emptiness):** Does machine $M $ accept any string at all? i.e., is $L(M) = \emptyset $?
- **ALL (Universality):** Does machine $M $ accept every possible string? i.e., is $L(M) = \Sigma^* $?
- **EQ (Equivalence):** Do two machines $M_1 $ and $M_2 $ accept the same language? i.e., is $L(M_1) = L(M_2) $?
```

**Expected behavior**

What did you expect to happen?

It would get clipped without the space inserted before the `$`, rendering the latex correctly.
By clicking the copy button in claude, we get this:
```markdown
These four are collectively called the **standard decision problems** for formal language classes.

- **A (Acceptance):** Does machine $M$ accept string $w$? i.e., is $w \in L(M)$?
- **E (Emptiness):** Does machine $M$ accept any string at all? i.e., is $L(M) = \emptyset$?
- **ALL (Universality):** Does machine $M$ accept every possible string? i.e., is $L(M) = \Sigma^*$?
- **EQ (Equivalence):** Do two machines $M_1$ and $M_2$ accept the same language? i.e., is $L(M_1) = L(M_2)$?
```
However, I do not want to always do this since i usually select some text, and then invoke the clipper with a shortcut to only clip that part.

```

FWIW pasting this into the defuddle playground parses it as:
```markdown
These four are collectively called the **standard decision problems** for formal language classes.

- **A (Acceptance):** Does machine $M$ accept string $w$ ? i.e., is $w \in L(M)$ ?
- **E (Emptiness):** Does machine $M$ accept any string at all? i.e., is $L(M) = \emptyset$ ?
- **ALL (Universality):** Does machine $M$ accept every possible string? i.e., is $L(M) = \Sigma^*$ ?
- **EQ (Equivalence):** Do two machines $M_1$ and $M_2$ accept the same language? i.e., is $L(M_1) = L(M_2)$ ?
```
So i think the issue might be in the select -> clip part in clipper, not defuddle.
