fix(hud): restore click-through at original bar position after drag

[Reedaaz]

Fixes #535

Problem

The HUD overlay wrapper kept pointer-events: auto at its layout-original position. When the floating bar is dragged, only the inner hudBarTransformRef div shifts visually via CSS translate3d — the outer wrapper stays put. Any mouseenter on that stale area still triggers handleHudMouseEnter → setIgnoreMouseEvents(false) on the full-screen HUD window, which then swallows clicks intended for the underlying app (Excel, browser, etc.).

Fix

Move pointer-events: auto and the mouse enter/leave handlers from the static wrapper onto the transformed hudBarTransformRef div, so the interactive hit area follows the bar's actual rendered position.

Test plan

• Open Excel (or any app), start recording
• Drag the floating bar to a new location
• Click on a cell at the bar's original position → click reaches Excel correctly
• Click on a button on the bar at its new position → bar still interactive
• Webcam preview continues to receive its own pointer events (separate sibling with own handlers)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved mouse hover interaction responsiveness on the HUD bar by restructuring pointer event handling to better target interactive elements.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The HUD bar wrapper structure in LaunchWindow.tsx is refactored to shift pointer-event handling. The outer container now uses pointer-events-none while the inner element with hudBarTransformRef uses pointer-events-auto and receives the onMouseEnter/onMouseLeave event handlers, relocating interactive targets to the transformed element.

HUD wrapper pointer-events restructuring src/components/launch/LaunchWindow.tsx	The outer HUD container becomes pointer-events-none while the inner transformed element with hudBarTransformRef becomes pointer-events-auto and receives the mouse hover event handlers.

🐰 A pointer event hops left, then right,
The outer fades to ghostly night,
The inner glows with touch so keen—
Best hover dance you've ever seen!
