📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The floating Devtools trigger now supports hot-corner pinning, edge docking behind a restore tab, Escape cancellation, hold-to-snooze behavior, persisted placement, visual indicators, tests, and updated configuration documentation.

Adds coverage for geometry and trigger interactions. Documents floating-trigger docking and hot-corner behavior. Adds a minor release changeset.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 519be

Hot corners and edge docking now persist trigger placement, but the current 800 ms hold duration conflicts with the tests and documented two-second behavior, so CI is expected to fail. Canceled interactions may also lose a corner anchor, and restored edge positions can retain stale off-screen coordinates; merge should wait for the timing mismatch to be fixed and the persistence behavior to be explicitly accepted.

Optional: hoist the shared drag helpers to module scope.

Four suites repeat the same drag, storedSettings, and pointer-capture setup. One module-level drag, one storedSettings, and one shared setup function would remove the duplication and keep the suites focused on behavior.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use edge-specific border radii.

For edge === 'right' and edge === 'top', Lines 946-948 round the outward-facing corners and leave the inward-facing corners square. The tab appears detached from the viewport edge at those placements.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Set the hold duration to 2000 ms to match the tests and the documentation.

armHoldTimer uses HOT_CORNER_HOLD_MS as the snooze delay. With 800 ms the corner is deactivated well before the values the new tests assert:

  • trigger.test.tsx Line 335-338 expects the mark to still exist at 1999 ms and to disappear at 2000 ms.
  • trigger.test.tsx Line 377-382 expects a restarted countdown to complete only at 2000 ms after the last move.
  • trigger.test.tsx Line 394-396 expects a release at 1500 ms to still pin the corner.

docs/configuration.md Line 38 also documents two seconds. All three fail with 800 ms, so the test suite breaks in CI.

🐛 Proposed fix
-export const HOT_CORNER_HOLD_MS = 800
+export const HOT_CORNER_HOLD_MS = 2000

If 800 ms is the intended behavior, update the hold assertions in packages/devtools/src/components/trigger.test.tsx and the wording in docs/configuration.md instead.
