Behaviour

Style	Made by	Network
bibtex (default)	mosaic, from the paper's metadata	only when the DOI is not in the cache (Crossref lookup)
apa, mla, chicago, harvard, vancouver	Crossref content negotiation at doi.org	always

The DOI may be bare, doi:-prefixed or a https://doi.org/ URL. A DOI looked up on Crossref is saved in the cache.

--copy tries pyperclip, then pbcopy (macOS), clip (Windows), xclip or xsel (Linux). If none works the citation is still printed, with a warning.

Exit code 1 for an unknown style, a DOI that cannot be parsed or is not found, or no network.
