Build notes
Radix `Tooltip` provides delay grouping, placement and ARIA. The bubble is an inverted
surface (`bg-foreground text-background`) so it reads against both the page and cards
in either theme. The arrow is Radix's own `Tooltip.Arrow` SVG (10 x 5 px) filled with
`fill-foreground`, so it inherits the bubble colour and follows the placed side
automatically. Because the open states are `delayed-open` / `instant-open`, the entrance
animation is the base `motion-safe:animate-[tooltip-in_120ms_ease-out]` and only the
`data-[state=closed]` exit (`tooltip-out`, 80 ms ease-in) is state-keyed. Keyframes in
the registry item `css` field animate opacity plus scale 0.96 to 1 from
`--radix-tooltip-content-transform-origin`. Default delay is 300 ms (shadcn uses 0) so
tips do not flash when the pointer passes over. Forced colors add a `CanvasText` border
and fill the arrow with `CanvasText`.

**Pebble (2026-11-03).** The bubble is now a small lit key, the same object as the
primary button: `bg-linear-to-b from-key-top to-key-bottom text-primary-foreground`,
`ring-1 ring-key-edge` and `shadow-[var(--key-shine),var(--elevation-md)]`, at
`rounded-lg px-2.5 py-1.5`. Like the key it inverts in dark mode (light key, dark text).
A flat arrow fill would mismatch the gradient, so the content carries `group/tooltip`
and the arrow fills with `key-bottom` (tip above the trigger, arrow at the bottom edge)
or `key-top` when `data-side="bottom"`. Timings move to tokens: `tooltip-in` at
`--motion-base` / `--motion-enter`, `tooltip-out` at `--motion-fast` / `--motion-exit`,
still `motion-safe:` only. Kbd's existing tooltip override (translucent `background`
keys) sits on the lit surface unchanged. The demo is a document editor: a truncated
filename with the full name in a bottom tip, collaborator avatars with name and status,
a disabled Publish wrapped in a focusable span so its tip can explain why, and a
`role="toolbar"` of `aria-pressed` formatting toggles whose tips show Kbd shortcuts.
