fix(web): respect motion settings in the thread details panel#22434
Problem
Thread Details does not consistently follow Settings → Motion: its inline form appears and disappears immediately, while its popover uses the default popover timing instead of the selected panel duration.
Change
Use the existing panel animation settings and presence hook for inline Thread Details, retaining it through a short opacity/scale exit and making it inert while closing. Let this popover opt into the same duration. Zero duration, reduced motion, and navigation suppression disable these transitions.
This applies to the shared web UI used by web and desktop. Mobile has its own UI; providers, contracts, and connection modes are unaffected. Other popovers keep their existing timing.
Scope and approval
This qualifies for the small, focused bug-fix exception in CONTRIBUTING.md: an existing panel now honors the existing Motion setting, without adding a setting or changing defaults. Related discussion: #22330.

Approvability
Verdict: Approved at d396869
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrowly scoped UI bug fix that applies existing motion settings to the thread details panel while leaving other popovers and product defaults unchanged. The shared Popover API addition is optional, so existing callers retain their behavior.

- Merge upstream/main into fix/thread-details-panel-motionbef7fbe
Merged current main (no rebase or force-push). The only conflict was ThreadDetailsCard.tsx, after #25731 and #25877 made the popover always mounted and added workspace focus. I kept main's structure and re-applied this PR's presence, inert, inline motion classes and popover duration on top. The net diff against main is unchanged from before. vp run check:changed passes.

- Merge upstream/main into fix/thread-details-panel-motionf383140
Merged current main again (no rebase or force-push). The conflict was in ThreadDetailsCard.tsx with #26904 (choosing what the card shows). Both sides were additive: I kept #26904's contentKey measurement key and context menu, and this PR's presence and motion lines on top. The net diff against main is unchanged. vp run check:changed passes.

The inline card stays mounted while
inlinePresence.presentis true, and its<aside>setsinert={!inlineOpen}. No browser test checks either state during the exit window. Add coverage for these cases:
- Set the inline panel flag to
false. Check that the card is still rendered and is inert while it exits.- Set the flag back to
truebefore the card is removed. Check that the card stays visible and is no longer inert.Extend the existing inline closing test if it fits. Otherwise add a new case. Wait for the final state with

@coderabbitai Re the nitpick on ThreadDetailsCard.tsx:163 (inline exit and reopen browser coverage): declining. This is a motion fix, and the PR's recordings show the exit and reopen. Per docs/internals/testing.md, visual changes are proven with captures and should not get UI tests for nitpicks. The added lines also only connect the shared usePanelPresence hook and an inert prop. Presence retention belongs to that hook, not this card. There is no existing inline-closing case to extend either; the card's browser tests cover popover behavior.

@Yuruzuu Agreed. I checked docs/internals/testing.md and ThreadDetailsCard.tsx. The testing guidance excludes UI tests for visual nitpicks already shown by captures and requires testing shared logic at one layer. The card delegates presence retention to usePanelPresence and applies inert while closing.
I withdraw the browser-coverage nitpick. No additional card-level browser test is needed for this request.

RightPanelSheet's keepMounted does not preserve the launcher beyond this parent unmount. In apps/web/src/components/RightPanelTabs.tsx, RightPanelEmptyState keeps its window capture keydown listener registered until unmount, so data-surface-launcher-keys remains aligned with that listener during closing.

- fix(web): merge main into thread details motion fixa3b782a
Note
Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria
merged current main into this branch without rebasing or rewriting @Yuruzuu's commits. the original fix is already focused, so i kept its implementation: two files, +33/-1 against main. it reuses panel presence and motion settings, keeps closing inline content inert, and makes popover duration opt-in. find-bar position timing remains unchanged.
