If you could rewrite this as testharness.js, then you can use testdriver.js and test_driver.bless() to automate this. And I think you can, since you just need to read back the value?
Note that @gsnedders will also be working on making testdriver.js work with reftests in #13183.

Well, document.execCommand(‘copy’) would benefit form test_driver.bless(), but also it's not quite clear whether it is standard or not. It is documented in https://w3c.github.io/editing/execCommand.html#the-copy-command-0, but that spec has a big "no done & not making progress" warning, and MDN calls it deprecated.
Also, even if you get past that, I then need to check the content of the clipboard, and I don't think here's a workable cross browser way to do that:
document.execCommand(‘paste’)isn't supported in regular web pages by anyone but IE- The alternative, the Clipboard API, is not supported across the board, and Firefox only supports reading the clipboard in browser extensions.
This may change eventually, but as far as I can tell, a manual test is still all we can do.
This is a test for w3c/csswg-drafts#627
