Feature: Search & replace device/entity IDs when copying switch config

[macpit]

Original issue: Sian-Lee-SA#397

Problem

When copying a switch config, all entity/device IDs are copied verbatim. Users who want to set up an identical switch for a different device must manually replace every entity reference.

Proposed Fix

After copying, show a find & replace dialog that lists all entity/device IDs found in the copied config and allows bulk replacement.

Affected Files

• frontend/src/dialogs/copy-from.ts
• custom_components/switch_manager/connections.py

Update: As of v3.0.6, you can now duplicate a switch directly from the list view via the three-dot overflow menu. This creates a full copy of the switch config (all button actions, sequences, variables) with:

• Name suffixed with "(Copy)"
• Empty identifier (must be set before use)
• Enabled by default

The duplicated switch opens in the editor immediately so you can adjust it.

This covers the basic cloning use case. The search & replace for entity/device IDs described in this issue is still planned as a follow-up enhancement on top of the duplicate feature.
