Proposing that clipboard-read permission should be called out explicitly as pre-requisite for clipboardchange event to fire:

  • From privacy point of view knowing when clipboard has changed deterministically can be considered similar to the act of reading clipboard.
  • Since clipboard can be changed by a user action, the information regarding when the clipboard has changed can be considered a user private data. Having the permissions check ensures that this privacy sensitive information is protected by user consent.
  • This approach aligns with the security model for other clipboard APIs.

It's weird to add anything more about clipboard permissions though, only Blink implements it and nobody else is planning to do.
