DESCRIBE YOUR PR

Tell us what you're changing and why. If your PR resolves an issue, please link it so it closes automatically.
Previously, NotAllowedError exceptions thrown by navigator.clipboard.writeText (e.g., when a user denies clipboard permission or the document is not focused) were being captured by Sentry.captureException in src/components/copyPromptButton/index.tsx and src/components/agentSetupCallout/index.tsx.

This change updates the error handling in these components to use Sentry.logger.warn instead of Sentry.captureException for these expected environmental errors. This aligns the behavior with src/components/smartLink.tsx, which already handles similar clipboard errors by logging a warning, thus reducing Sentry noise from non-actionable exceptions.

LEGAL BOILERPLATE

Look, I get it.

i dont think there are other error types in a copy to clipboard scenario so i wonder if we just switch this to an error log vs capture exception
