* fix(tabs): restore deferred tab activation so dragging a terminal tab doesn't switch panes mid-gesture
PR #5927 shipped terminal-pane drag (reorder tabs, move a tab into another
pane, edge-split into a new column). It deliberately DEFERRED tab activation
to pointer-up and suppressed it during a drag, so pressing a tab to drag it
never switched the active tab or stole terminal focus mid-gesture.
PR #6395 (d32d62a395) deleted tab-strip-pointer-activation.ts and made
SortableTab/EditorFileTab/BrowserTab activate eagerly on pointerdown — fixing
click-to-switch-after-reorder but regressing the drag: grabbing a tab now
flips the active tab + focused pane and yanks xterm keyboard focus before the
drag is even recognized (aggravated by PR #6210 raising the dnd-kit threshold
5px->12px). The move itself still lands, but the gesture feels broken.
Restore the deferred-activation hook, but gate it on measured pointer
DISPLACEMENT instead of the drag-active context ref the old hook used — that
ref clears asynchronously relative to the drop's pointerup, which is exactly
what made #6395's click-after-reorder misfire. Displacement mirrors dnd-kit's
own activation threshold: a release within TAB_DRAG_ACTIVATION_DISTANCE_PX is
a click (activate); crossing it is a drag (suppress). Because each press
measures its own gesture, a click after a reorder always activates.
- Recreate src/renderer/src/components/tab-bar/tab-strip-pointer-activation.ts
(displacement-gated) + unit tests, incl. an explicit #6395 regression case.
- Rewire onPointerDown in SortableTab, EditorFileTab, BrowserTab to use it.
- BrowserTab.test.tsx shallow-renders via mocked React hooks; add useRef/
useCallback stubs so the new hook works under that harness.
Verified end-to-end in a dev build via CDP: pressing a tab no longer
activates/steals focus on pointerdown; a click still activates on release;
dragging a tab into another pane still moves it; clicking tabs after a drag
still switches (the #6395 guard in tests/e2e/tabs.spec.ts stays green because
it uses zero-displacement clicks). 233 unit tests pass; oxlint + renderer
typecheck clean.
* fix: restore pane detach tab placement
