[avrabe]

Epic: Header Management

Priority: Medium
Story Points: 4
Phase: 3

Problem

The header icon manager has advanced interaction infrastructure but tooltip and notification systems are not implemented.

Solution

Add comprehensive tooltip and notification systems for enhanced header interactions and user feedback.

Implementation Details

Ready-to-use infrastructure from header management analysis:

• Enhanced hover state management ready for tooltips
• Icon animation and state system supports notifications
• Advanced interaction cleanup supports tooltip management

Tasks

• Add intelligent tooltip system with positioning and delays
• Implement notification badge system for header icons
• Add notification center with message management
• Enable contextual help tooltips for complex features
• Add notification sound and visual feedback options

Tooltip and Notification System

// Tooltip system
interface TooltipConfig {
    content: string | ReactNode;
    position: 'top' | 'bottom' | 'left' | 'right' | 'auto';
    delay: number;
    hideDelay: number;
    interactive: boolean;
}

// Notification system
interface NotificationSystem {
    badges: NotificationBadge[];
    center: NotificationCenter;
    sounds: SoundManager;
    visual: VisualFeedback;
}

// Header integration
<HeaderIcon
    icon={iconType}
    tooltip={{
        content: 'Component Manager - Manage WASM components',
        position: 'bottom',
        delay: 500
    }}
    notification={{
        count: unreadNotifications,
        type: 'info',
        animate: true
    }}
    onClick={handleIconClick}
/>

// Notification center
<NotificationCenter
    notifications={notifications}
    onNotificationRead={markAsRead}
    onNotificationDismiss={dismissNotification}
    maxVisible={5}
    groupByType={true}
/>

Acceptance Criteria

• Tooltips appear with appropriate delays and positioning
• Notification badges show unread counts clearly
• Notification center manages messages effectively
• Contextual help tooltips assist with complex features
• Notification preferences can be customized by users

Technical Notes

• Uses intelligent positioning to avoid viewport edges
• Implements notification queuing and batching
• Supports rich content in tooltips (text, images, interactive elements)
• Compatible with accessibility screen readers
