investigate tooltip library replacement

Author: fehmerCreated Aug 12, 2026Updated Aug 23, 2026

currently we use balloon.css. The biggest issue we are facing is that sometimes the tooltip will not fit in the viewport.

Search for possible replacements:

Most of the ui is already converted to solidjs, so the tooltip replacement doesn't need to support non-solid uses like test-results or the static html pages.

The TestActivityCalendar can be ignored as well until it is converted to solid (#8339)
