Controller and tree internals

For low-level menu behavior, use @affino/menu-core directly:

• MenuCore
• SubmenuCore
• createMenuTree
• pointer intent helpers (MousePrediction, predictMouseDirection)

Reference: /core/menu-core

Performance notes

• Prefer stable item registration over re-creating menu trees each render.
• Keep submenu depth shallow when possible.
• Use transform/opacity animation only for panel motion.

Laravel integration notes

When using Laravel adapters in production, prefer one runtime bootstrap:

import { bootstrapAffinoLaravelAdapters } from "@affino/laravel-adapter"
bootstrapAffinoLaravelAdapters()

This keeps menu behavior aligned with dialogs/popovers/tooltips in the same app.
