Tooltips are neither dismissible nor hoverable (WCAG 1.4.13)

[bpmore]

Bug description

Tooltips in the CP are shown on hover but cannot be dismissed with Escape and cannot be hovered, which fails two of the three conditions in WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus (Level AA).

Measured against the sidebar's "Toggle Nav" button on /cp/dashboard:

1.4.13 condition	Result
Dismissible — can be removed without moving pointer or focus	FAIL — Escape does nothing
Hoverable — pointer can move onto the tooltip without it disappearing	FAIL — it vanishes
Persistent — stays until dismissed, focus moves, or it stops being valid	PASS — still visible after 4s

{ "tooltipShown": true, "role": null, "text": "Toggle Nav",
  "cls": "v-popper__popper v-popper--theme-tooltip v-popper__popper--shown",
  "dismissibleByEscape": false, "hoverable": false, "persistentAfter4s": true }

The tooltip also carries no role="tooltip", so it isn't announced as one.

Tooltips come from floating-vue (v-tooltip), registered in https://github.com/statamic/cms/blob/v6.31.0/resources/js/bootstrap/statamic.js#L10. Both failing conditions are configurable there rather than requiring per-call-site changes.

This matters more than usual in Statamic's CP because tooltips are sometimes the only text alternative for an icon-only control — see the status indicator issue I'm filing alongside this, where v-tooltip is the sole carrier of "Published" / "Draft" / "Scheduled" / "Expired".

How to reproduce

1. composer create-project statamic/statamic, log in
2. Hover the sidebar collapse button in the global header until the tooltip shows
3. Press Escape — the tooltip stays
4. Hover the tooltip itself — it disappears

Suggested fix

floating-vue supports both:

• register a global hideOnTargetClick/Escape handler, or set instantMove plus an onKeydown that hides on Escape
• set the tooltip theme's disposeTimeout / pointer-events so the popper is hoverable rather than pointer-events-none

Adding role="tooltip" on the popper would also let assistive technology announce it correctly.
