check what we have. compare to what is shown in the screenshots by a competitor.
I would say that we should offer the same things as it makes sense, bigger section here is the "create space from selection". which then opens a window, which lists the files selected for the space creation and prompt the user for a space name. making app-owned space creations easier for users to do so.

Shipped in v0.6.174 (PR #512), live on both dogfoods.

Compared against the reference menu, the gaps are closed:

Open — explicit entry at the top (folders navigate, files open the preview).
Copy to… — a real duplicate via a new POST /api/v1/copy endpoint through the caller's scoped store (TDD'd; refuses an existing destination with 409 rather than silently overwriting).
Add/Remove favourites — the star's twin in the menu, so tiles and keyboard users have it.
Create space from selection — the big one: opens the approved dialog, which names the space, lists exactly the selected items with sizes, offers move (default) or copy, and states plainly that you become the owner and add members afterwards in Spaces. It creates through the existing self-service Spaces API (#94) and reports any item that could not be moved by name. With several rows selected, the entry acts on the whole selection and shows the count. Rendered only when the server grants space creation.
Menu regrouped with separators: open · get-it-out · reorganise · destroy.

Deliberately absent: "Open with…" — Cairn has no office-suite integration to hand a file to, and a menu entry that goes nowhere would be dishonest.
