+### Copy Host List (JSON)
+Adds a **"Copy host list (JSON)"** button to the menu bar on any WATO host-list page — plain folder browsing or host search results. Clicking it copies hostname, alias, IPv4 address and monitored site for every host currently listed to the clipboard as a JSON array, ready to paste into a script, ticket, or spreadsheet.

+Applies to: `wato.py?mode=folder` (folder browsing and host search results, with or without sidebar).

 ## How it works
 
 The script injects enhancements at page load and re-applies them on SPA navigation (Checkmk reloads content inside an `<iframe>` without a full page reload). Each feature is independent — a feature that does not apply to the current page does nothing and stops polling.
