There was a problem hiding this comment.
Base values here are copied from the copy operation, which is same versions set as we're seeing for most of these kinds of operations (i.e. it is a reasonable assumption that support for paste in extensions (only) was added in this version.
Updated version numbers and notes for the 'paste' command in various browsers.

FF148 Supports using Document.execCommand with option "paste" in web content in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1998195#c18
Previously this would only work on extensions. The change is a reimplementation of the feature using the Clipboard API, so shares the same behaviour as added in #28587.
The feature is non-standard but in its "kind of" standard, paste is only supported in extensions. So what we're doing is adding non-standard behaviour to some browsers. What I have done is added an entry for paste that matches
copyand similar in versions, then added version notes for this additional "non-standard" implementation.Related docs work can be tracked in mdn/content#42747
