Problem

The aggregate shopping list (union of all suggested recipes' missing ingredients) was removed because it was confusing. The per-recipe detail panel shows what you need for a specific recipe, but there is no way to share or export that list.

What to build

A copy to clipboard button in the recipe detail panel that formats the missing ingredients as plain text
A share sheet trigger (Web Share API) on mobile so the list can be sent to a notes app, messaging thread, or shopping app
Optional: a simple per-recipe printable/text grocery list that includes ingredient names and any swap suggestions

Notes

Web Share API: navigator.share({ title, text }) — fall back to clipboard copy if not supported
Do not re-introduce the aggregate list; the per-recipe scoped list is the right UX
