fix(web): voice input no longer shifts the composer's model controls - #32000
Starting voice input on a wide composer pushed the model picker to the left, because the dictation capsule was added to the same row as the send button.
Now the capsule takes the model controls' place: the controls fade out, and the capsule fades and slides in over the space they used. On composers narrower than about 620px, the compact footer from #33140 already gives the capsule the whole row, and that behavior is unchanged.
Summary
<footer>
<AttachButton /> // hidden while dictating in a compact footer
<div data-chat-composer-actions="right">
- <div controls, hidden while dictating in a compact footer>{model picker, runtime mode}</div>+ <div relative flex-1>+ <div controls, invisible + opacity-0 while voice input is open>{model picker, runtime mode}</div>+ <div absolute inset-0 justify-end, starting: fade + slide> // outside the measured controls+ <ComposerSpeechRecordingPill />+ </div>+ </div>
<PrimaryActions>
- <ComposerSpeechRecordingPill /> // in flow, pushes the controls left
<ComposerSpeechButton /> <Send />
Every non-idle phase (starting, recording, transcribing, cleanup, error) uses the overlay.
The overlay sits outside the controls container, which the composer re-measures whenever its contents change, so the ticking timer never triggers a re-measure.
There is no prior issue or approval for this. The UI bothered me a bit, so I fixed it the way I think it would look good. Maintainers are free to close or reject this PR.
Evidence
Captured with vp run dev in headless Chromium at 2x, dark theme. The recording state is a temporary fake with a scripted mic level, applied identically to both sides, because a real recording needs a 697 MB speech model download. The fake is not part of this diff.
Wide composer, idle (1400px window). Identical before and after.
Before (recording): the model picker shifts left to make room for the capsule.
After (recording): the capsule takes the model picker's place, and nothing else moves.
Narrow composer, recording (900px window, compact footer). Byte-identical before and after, since the compact footer already hides the controls while dictating.
vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck, react compiler, and the tests next to the changed file.
No video of the transition is attached. The capsule enters over 200ms while the controls fade out over 150ms. When voice input ends, the capsule disappears without an exit animation while the controls fade back in.

Recording now swaps the composer's right-side controls for the voice controls in place, instead of pushing the model picker left. The waveform is 12 compact bars driven by the mic level.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Active voice controls now overlay the composer controls rather than changing their measured layout. The remaining changes are visual adjustments, with recording actions and product defaults unchanged.

Walkthrough
When speech input is available and active, ChatComposer displays recording controls in a footer overlay and makes the regular footer controls invisible. The primary-actions area retains the speech button and no longer contains the recording pill.
The footer displays the recording pill and its controls while voice input is active. The regular footer controls become invisible, and the primary-actions area retains the speech button without the pill.
The change moves the voice recording controls into an overlay so the model controls no longer shift. No functional, data or security defect was identified. The narrow-width layout has not been confirmed with up-to-date captures, so a quick manual check is worthwhile before merge.

Explanation
The title "fix(web): voice input no longer shifts the composer's model controls" matches the main change. The diff moves the recording pill into an overlay beside the model controls, so starting voice input no longer shifts them left. It follows the conventional commit format the template asks for.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the problem (dictation capsule shifts model picker left on wide composers), the change (capsule takes the controls' place via an overlay, controls fade out, compact footer unchanged), scope (only ChatComposer.tsx, web/desktop composer footer), and verification (before/after screenshots for wide and narrow composers, vp run check:changed passes). It also notes there is no prior issue, says the change is a fix for an obvious UI bug, and discloses the model used. The template asks for a linked issue or a reason it needs none; the author gave a reason but it is a self-described UI preference rather than a bug report, and the author states no maintainer request. Verification notes the transition was not recorded on video and that the recording state used a temporary fake, which the template asks to be stated. Overall the description is mostly complete and substantive.

…hen narrow
The waveform clips its oldest bars instead of its newest, and the microphone test timer no longer wraps; its stop button is pushed to the edge instead.
Merged current main (merge commit, no rebase). The one conflict was VoiceInputPill: main added data-slot="voice-input-pill" for the full-width citation comment editor (#32142), and this PR added max-w-full. The pill now keeps both. vp run check:changed passes on the merged head.
