Convert Flyout component to TypeScript

This PR converts src/components/flyout from JavaScript with Flow to TypeScript.

Changes

  • Converted Flyout.js to Flyout.tsx with exported FlyoutProps interface
  • Converted Overlay.js to Overlay.tsx with exported OverlayProps interface
  • Converted FlyoutContext.js to FlyoutContext.ts with exported FlyoutContextValues interface
  • Converted index.js to index.ts, re-exporting the components and their types
  • Converted __tests__/Flyout.test.js, Overlay.test.js, and OverlayHeader.test.js to .test.tsx
  • Created .js.flow files for backward compatibility
  • Removed stale @ts-ignores from OverlayHeader.tsx and Flyout.stories.tsx now that sibling modules are TypeScript

Contract

  • Declared Flow props contract preserved (requiredness, accepted values, defaults, exports)

Testing

  • Ran tests for src/components/flyout; all 78 pass
  • yarn lint:ts and flow check pass
  • Manually verified in Storybook (Components/Flyout) that behavior is unchanged

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a Flyout component for displaying positioned overlay content from a trigger.
    • Supports click, hover, keyboard, focus, outside-click, and window-blur interactions.
    • Added configurable placement, offsets, responsive styling, visibility, and viewport constraints.
    • Added accessible overlay behavior, focus management, Escape-key dismissal, and programmatic closing.
    • Added reusable Overlay and OverlayHeader components with context support.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for interactions, keyboard behavior, focus handling, and header actions.

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR adds typed Flyout, Overlay, and FlyoutContext components. It adds positioning, interaction, accessibility, focus, dismissal, lifecycle, context, export, and test coverage in TypeScript and Flow.

Flyout component migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Flyout contracts and public exports
src/components/flyout/Flyout.tsx, src/components/flyout/Flyout.js.flow, src/components/flyout/FlyoutContext.*, src/components/flyout/index.*
Defines Flyout props, placement mappings, positioning options, context values, and public component and type exports.
Flyout interaction and positioning
src/components/flyout/Flyout.tsx, src/components/flyout/Flyout.js.flow
Adds trigger activation, hover delays, keyboard handling, outside-click and blur closing, focus restoration, callbacks, Tether constraints, ARIA attributes, child validation, and conditional overlay rendering.
Overlay focus and dismissal
src/components/flyout/Overlay.tsx, src/components/flyout/Overlay.js.flow
Adds focus trapping, forwarded HTML attributes, overlay classes, and asynchronous Escape-key dismissal.
Typed validation and component integration
src/components/flyout/__tests__/*, src/components/flyout/Flyout.stories.tsx, src/components/flyout/OverlayHeader.tsx
Updates Flyout and Overlay tests with TypeScript types, adds OverlayHeader behavior tests, and removes redundant suppression comments.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 260c0

The TypeScript migration preserves the Flyout contract, but invalid non-element children can still produce a generic runtime exception instead of the intended validation error. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a small follow-up to validate children before cloning.

Poem

A rabbit taps the trigger bright,
The flyout hops to place just right.
Focus stays within the glowing pane,
Escape sends it home again.
Typed paths guide each careful leap.

378-428: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the hover tests observe the handler calls.

The tests register Sinon expectations inside timers after they invoke the handler. openOverlay() runs at the configured delay before the expectation at 310 ms. A synchronous Jest test can finish before either timer executes.

The positive custom-delay and hover-leave cases also use openOnHover: false. Flyout returns without scheduling open or close work in that state.

Register each expectation before invoking the handler. Set openOnHover: true for positive paths. Advance the controlled timer through the configured delay before verification.

FocusTrap’s internal keyboard handling. Update the Overlay keyboard flow around
handleOverlayKeyDown to extract or otherwise exclude onKeyDown from rest, then
invoke the supplied handler alongside the existing Escape-close and Tab-trapping
behavior; alternatively, make FocusTrap compose both handlers.
