Follow-up to #9 (CodeRabbit's reply on the focus thread there, posted after the merge): with a result link focused, hovering another result moved only the highlight and Enter opened the focused link. Hover now calls the same followSelection() as the arrow keys, which moves focus only while a result link has it (typing in the input is unaffected).

Tests: npm run check 0 errors (1 existing autofocus warning).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Moving the pointer across command palette results now updates the selected result and follows the selection. Moving over the result that is already selected does not trigger another selection update. This makes the selected result respond to pointer movement, rather than only changing when the pointer first enters a result.

Walkthrough

Result links now update the selected result when pointer movement reaches a different link. The handler calls followSelection() after it updates the selected index. It does nothing when the pointer moves over the selected result.

Changes: Command palette pointer selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update selection on pointer movement src/lib/components/CommandPalette.svelte	The result link handler uses pointer movement. It updates the selected index and calls followSelection() for a different result. It does nothing for the selected result.

Merge Risk: Low · up to fbe08

Hovering a partially visible result can move another link under the pointer before a click. The issue is localized but warrants a fix or owner awareness.

• observed — src (ui) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in src/lib/components/CommandPalette.svelte: Result selection changes from an onmouseenter handler that only set the selected index to an onmousemove handler. On movement to a different result, it updates the index and calls followSelection(); movement over the current selection returns without action.

- Line 272: Update the hover-selection handling around followSelection() so a
scroll-induced mouseenter from a stationary pointer does not change the
arrow-key selection; update hover selection only after detecting actual pointer
movement, while preserving normal pointer-driven selection.

Prevent pointer focus from scrolling the results.

If a result has focus and the pointer moves over a partially visible result, focus() can scroll the list. A different link can then move under the pointer before the user clicks. Use focus({ preventScroll: true }) for pointer-driven selection, while retaining scrolling for arrow navigation. (html.spec.whatwg.org)

Update the pointer-driven selection in CommandPalette so focusing the selected result uses the preventScroll option, avoiding unintended list movement; preserve the existing scrolling behaviour for arrow-key navigation.
