Owner request

When Open in editor is grayed out, hovering over it should explain why it is unavailable.

Acceptance

  • Provide a concise, accurate explanation for the actual disabled condition, such as no document open, no editor configured, or an unavailable configured editor.
  • Give an actionable route where appropriate, for example configure an editor in Settings.
  • Make the explanation reachable on a disabled command, using the native tooltip mechanism and an appropriate accessible description. Do not rely on a tooltip attached to an element that never receives pointer input.
  • Refresh the explanation when document/editor availability changes, including sibling-window settings changes.
  • Cover both the toolbar and other exposed instances of the command where appropriate.
  • Verify actual hover behavior, keyboard/accessibility information and state transitions in the running app.

Related: #11, #18, #21, #1. Recorded during paused owner review; implementation and runtime acceptance pending.
