📝 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, tooltip updates, tests, and updated configuration documentation.

Changes

Floating trigger docking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Trigger contracts, geometry, and visual primitives
packages/devtools/src/context/devtools-store.ts, packages/devtools/src/utils/constants.ts, packages/devtools/src/components/trigger.tsx, packages/devtools/src/components/tanstack-trigger-mark.tsx, packages/devtools/src/styles/use-styles.ts
Adds corner and edge settings, geometry helpers, docking constants, a reusable trigger gradient, and styles for hot-corner markers, edge tabs, and tooltips.
Drag, pin, dock, and restore flow
packages/devtools/src/components/trigger.tsx
Updates drag and throw handling to pin corners, dock off-screen edges, snooze hot corners, cancel with Escape, restore on resize, persist placement, and render docking controls.
Interaction validation and configuration documentation
packages/devtools/src/components/trigger.test.tsx, docs/configuration.md, .changeset/trigger-edge-dock.md
Adds coverage for geometry, drag, tooltip, cancellation, snooze, pinning, docking, and restoration. Documents the new floating-trigger behavior. Adds a minor release changeset.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 934d7

The new trigger placement behavior can still pin or dock after a modifier is released or a pointer gesture is cancelled, and restoring an edge-docked trigger may temporarily leave stale coordinates saved. This can make the trigger behave unexpectedly for users, so the PR needs explicit owner follow-up or acceptance before merging.

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.

Do not commit placement on pointercancel.

onPointerCancel passes false to endDrag, but Lines 555-557 still dock the trigger. A cancelled gesture in a hot corner can also reach pinTo. This can hide or relocate the trigger after an OS-cancelled gesture. For pointercancel, clear the preview, clamp the current coordinates, and persist without docking or pinning.

Clear Shift magnetic mode before a throw starts.

Line 579 clears shiftMagnetic only when the drag does not throw. If the user releases Shift after the final pointermove and then releases a fast drag, the fling remains magnetic and pins to its launch corner. Clear shiftMagnetic before startThrow() runs. Keep persistent magneticMode unchanged.
