Keep tab hover on the tab under the pointer when tabs reflow

[teamleaderleo]

Summary

Per-tab SwiftUI .onHover never fires when a tab slides under a pointer that isn't moving. After closing an unselected tab with its X, the tab that slides into that slot shows no hover background and no X until the mouse moves. A second click there selects that tab instead of closing it. The tab that slid away can also keep a stale hover.

A second bug: when the close button is removed with the pointer on it (pinning, allowsClose flipping), .onHover(false) never arrives. isCloseHovered then stays true, which hides the dirty dot and later shows an X on a tab that isn't hovered.

Change

• TabBarView owns a single hoveredTabId. The existing bar-level TabBarHoverTrackingView now:
  • observes TabBarItemGeometryRegistry
  • resolves the hovered tab from the pointer against the registered tab frames, on pointer events and on every geometry change (register, unregister, resize, scroll)
  • passes isHovered down to each TabItemView
• The live-pointer path only trusts the pointer when this window is the topmost window under it.
• The close-button highlight is gated by the strip-owned tab hover and resets onDisappear.
• Accessibility:
  • The tab element gets a named "Close Tab" action (en and ja strings), since the X is merged into the tab and only built while the tab is selected or hovered.
  • The X gets a label.
• TabBarHoveredTabResolver is pure and unit tested. The new tests cover:
  • a stationary pointer following the reflow
  • no hover on empty space or outside the bar
  • no hover on unregistered tabs

Testing

Tests/BonsplitTests/TabBarHoveredTabResolverTests.swift. CI runs swift test.

A cmux pointer bump follows once this lands.

Summary by cubic

Fixes tab hover so it follows the pointer when tabs reflow. Previously, per-tab .onHover never fired when a tab slid under a stationary pointer—closing a tab left its replacement showing no hover background or close button until the mouse moved, and a second click selected it instead of closing it. The tab strip now owns a single hoveredTabId resolved from the pointer against the registered tab frames, updated on pointer events and every geometry change (register, unregister, resize, scroll), and passes isHovered down to each TabItemView. Hover resolves against each tab's visible area, so tabs scrolled under the trailing action lane aren't hovered from the split buttons, and it resolves to nil during a tab drag so autoscroll doesn't reveal the close button on the drop target. Tab-set and geometry changes are coalesced and re-checked on the next main-queue turn so hover state isn't published mid-SwiftUI-update; the live-pointer path only trusts the pointer when this window is topmost under it. This also fixes a stale close-button hover state when the button is removed with the pointer on it (pinning, allowsClose flipping): the highlight is now gated by the strip-owned tab hover and resets on disappear, so the dirty dot is no longer hidden with an X showing on an unhovered tab.

Accessibility

• The X is merged into the tab and only built while selected or hovered; the tab element gets a named "Close Tab" action (en and ja) and the X is hidden from accessibility so it isn't announced twice.

Refactors

• TabBarHoveredTabResolver is pure and unit tested, covering a stationary pointer following reflow, no hover on empty space, outside the bar, on the trailing action lane, or on unregistered tabs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Accessibility
  • Added a VoiceOver action to close eligible tabs, with localized labels in English and Japanese.
• Bug Fixes
  • Tab hover styling now follows the tab beneath the pointer, including after tabs close and the remaining tabs shift.
  • Close-button highlighting now reflects both pointer position and the hovered tab.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The tab strip now resolves the hovered tab from pointer location and tab geometry, including after layout changes. Tab items use this strip-level state for hover behavior. Eligible tabs also expose a localized close action to accessibility tools.

Changes

Tab hover and accessibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve hover from tab geometry Sources/Bonsplit/Internal/Views/TabBarView.swift, Tests/BonsplitTests/TabBarHoveredTabResolverTests.swift	The tab strip resolves the tab beneath the pointer from registered frames and recalculates hover when tab IDs or geometry change. It clears hover when the pointer is outside the current window or the view has no window. Tests cover tab reflow, empty space, missing pointer locations, and tabs without registered frames.
Apply tab hover and close accessibility Sources/Bonsplit/Internal/Views/TabBarView.swift, Sources/Bonsplit/Internal/Views/TabItemView.swift, Sources/Bonsplit/Resources/en.lproj/Localizable.strings, Sources/Bonsplit/Resources/ja.lproj/Localizable.strings	Tab items receive strip-level hover state and use it for close-button highlighting and visibility. Eligible tabs provide a VoiceOver close action. The close button has English and Japanese accessibility labels.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7abd1

Tab changes can update hover state at an unsafe point in the view lifecycle. Defer that update before merging, or accept the bounded UI risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7abd1

The new interactions remain tied to the displayed tab and retain close-permission and delegate checks. No introduced security issue was established, though host-specific multiwindow behavior has not been verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The evidenced interaction reaches tab UI state and a pane-specific tab-close operation, rather than a new service or data-store boundary. Host-specific controller sharing across windows remains unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The current-pointer recalculation requires this tracking view's window to be topmost; events identified as belonging to another window clear hover. The accessibility action does not rely on pointer hover and instead uses its tab's captured close callback.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Hover is recalculated when tab IDs or geometry change and is cleared when the tracking view leaves its window; resolver tests cover reflow, empty space, and unregistered tabs.
