Owner round 2026-09-25, over 09c0f6e. The wave's tooltips read as
distracting; this round makes them quiet:
- Delay: TOOLTIP_DELAY_MS = 500 in the primitive — tooltips appear when
you pause on a control, never in passing (Radix focus-opens stay
instant by design; keyboard users don't wait).
- Vanish on leave: disableHoverableContent — the chip is un-hoverable,
so the instant the cursor leaves the trigger it's gone, even mid-move
onto the chip's own pixels.
- Look: bg-accent (#2a2a2a, the hover-chip tone) instead of the white
bg-foreground slab; 11px; px-2 py-1; arrow culled (nothing purely
decorative); text-foreground/85.
- Suffix: parentheses, not em-dash — "Dictate (⌘D)"; the registry
source unchanged (still override-aware).
- Drops (owner-selected): send square, start square, stats summary —
the icons/numbers describe themselves.
- Home logo kept but to the RIGHT with its real shortcut "Home (⌘G)"
(jump-graph routes to /, the same destination).
- Trims: "Model selector (⌘K)", "Thinking level", "Graph costs —
click for details", "How much of this session isn't mapped yet".
- Added: Import Notes gets "Import notes into the graph" — the one
button whose destination wasn't obvious.
Pins: TOOLTIP_DELAY_MS=500; hintText parens expectations updated.
Live-verified on :3001 — 508ms hover delay measured, close within 10ms
of pointerout, chip styles probed (rgb(42,42,42), 11px, 4px/8px), arrow
gone, all new labels + sides confirmed, drops carry no tooltip and no
aria-describedby.
Owner-approved full pass (tooltip wave, 2026-09-25). Mechanism: icon/pill
controls ride the styled Radix tooltip via a new Hint composition
(components/ui/hint.tsx) — the shared primitive adopted as-is, no
restyling; the shortcut appends as an em-dash suffix off the LIVE registry
(a rebind in Settings → Keyboard changes the suffix): "Dictate — ⌘D".
Surface-owned keys (Esc closes, Enter submits) ride a raw binding prop.
Native title= stays only for truncation-reveals (dock spans, the rename
field) and menu-interior abbreviations (MenuShell untouched). One
em-dash pattern; per-state truth on the send square (busy = "Stop the
reply — Esc", idle = "Send — ↵"), Enter on the plan verdict's accept,
"Stop dictation (Esc)" kept verbatim per the owner's flag.
Copy: the dev-speak cull — no pipeline/prober/tier/wave vocabulary
anywhere a user reads. New pins in tests/tooltip-mechanism.test.tsx
(hintText composition, asChild no-wrapper-DOM, the auto-update hint
constant); dock truncation titles pinned native; graph-chrome + settings
pins updated to the new copy.
Live-verified on :3001 — 12.6ms hover appearance (no native 1s lag);
glyphs render on every suffixed surface (⌘D, ⌘K, ⌘⇧F, ⌘,, ⌘B, F2, ↵,
Esc); per-page probes confirm Settings entry, Home logo, session search,
Start session, Close sidebar, model + thinking pills, stats summary,
rename title, plan chip, coverage ring, send square, cost button, node
search (⌘F), graph gear, settings close (Close — Esc), keyboard section
"Fixed — part of this screen", auto-update hint, light-mode "Coming
soon", the three slot rosters, graph-tools hint. Esc still closes the
settings dialog.
\ding{55} = U+2717 BALLOT X — I'd extracted U+2715 (\ding{53}, a
different multiplication cross) last round by mistake. Marks now match
pifont exactly: check \ding{51} (U+2713), x \ding{55} (U+2717).
components/ui/glyph-mark.tsx: extracted vector outlines from the system
Zapf Dingbats font — U+2713 (LaTeX \ding{51}, the hand-drawn check) and
U+2715 (\ding{55}, the bulky cross) — as static SVG geometry on an
ink-bounded viewBox with a y-flip path transform (inverse of font axes).
This matches the pifont shape LaTeX renders, not a random glyph. Colors
stay: green/red like the verdict chips; the span keeps data-mark pins.
Sidebar (replaces the modal drawer):
- Inline, toggleable, no backdrop/focus theft — can stay open while working
- Open state persists across pages (provider in root layout) and reloads
(localStorage; starts closed server-side to avoid hydration mismatch,
stored value applied post-mount; default open on first run)
- Hamburger in page headers only when closed; close button in sidebar header
Floating composer blob (per reference screenshot):
- Floats over the transcript (absolute overlay), persists at bottom while
scrolling, content fades behind it (gradient mask); pb-44 scroll clearance
- Concentric corner radii: blob rounded-2xl(16px) − p-1.5(6px) = send
rounded-[10px] = 25% of the 40px button; CornerDownLeft icon per reference
- Stop moved from header into the blob (busy → square icon)
- prompt-input.tsx + 7 orphan ui files pruned (attachments/command palette
unused); hand-rolled Composer is ~100 lines and render-tested
Pending-question morph (one text field on screen, never two):
- Quiz/ask-select pending → blob becomes the note field (send hidden, hint
line above); card's internal note input removed; Submit consumes it
- Ask free-text pending → blob becomes the answer field; its send submits
via the card's registered submit api (ref bridge); Enter works
- Chat owns the single text state; card clears it on submit
- canSend for answer mode mirrors the card predicate directly — reading the
ref during render lagged one commit (found in browser testing)
Widths: one shared column (max-w-3xl + px-4) for transcript, cards, and
composer — all three measured pixel-identical (left 416, width 736).
Assistant Message max-w-full/MessageContent w-full (was max-w-[95%]/w-fit —
the 'cards are a bit shorter' bug).
User messages render plain text again — no math pipeline on learner-authored
text (currency hazard accepted for the model only, guarded by the prompt).
Tests: 58 pass (5 new composer pins; card tests updated to controlled
props). Verified live: note flow, answer flow, sidebar persistence, float,
fade, zero console errors — plus the live model spontaneously honoring the
$ currency escape contract in a continuation.
The teaching agent no longer runs on pi. Stack:
- ToolLoopAgent (ai@7) + OpenRouter (OPENROUTER_API_KEY), model via LH_MODEL,
default anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5 with reasoning tokens
- quiz/ask_user_question = client-side tools (no server execute): the call
lands as a typed tool part in input-available state; the card grades via
src/core/question-core.ts; addToolOutput sends the verdict; the teacher's
reaction continues the same assistant message
- resume-mid-quiz is free: the pending tool part persists in the transcript
- persistence: one JSON per chat (data/chats/), full UIMessage transcripts,
saved onFinish (also on abort)
- UI: AI Elements (owned copy-paste components, pruned to the five in use)
+ button-based QuizCard/AnsweredCard (ask answers never graded)
- pi fully removed: TUI, extensions, Fastify+WS server, bridge, custom
protocol all deleted (recoverable from git history)
- tests: question-core units carry over; chat-flow integration drives
handleChatRequest with MockLanguageModelV4 (48 tests, zero tokens);
render smoke tests guard the cards (renderToStaticMarkup)
Carried over unchanged: teacher system prompt, question-core, schema/
ledger/derive/extract pipeline, data model.
