Popover Refactor: Wrapped → Radix Composable

The Problem

9 files use the old wrapped Popover API:

<Popover popover={popover} trigger={<button>...</button>} side="top" className="...">
  {children}
</Popover>

Popover is now a Radix composable object from @spacedrive/primitives, not a function component. Every usage must be converted.

The Pattern

Before:

import { Popover, usePopover } from "@spacedrive/primitives";

const popover = usePopover();

<Popover
  popover={popover}
  trigger={<button>Open</button>}
  side="top"
  align="start"
  sideOffset={8}
  className="w-[300px]"
>
  {children}
</Popover>

After:

import { Popover, usePopover } from "@spacedrive/primitives";

const popover = usePopover();

<Popover.Root open={popover.open} onOpenChange={popover.setOpen}>
  <Popover.Trigger asChild>
    <button>Open</button>
  </Popover.Trigger>
  <Popover.Content side="top" align="start" sideOffset={8} className="w-[300px]">
    {children}
  </Popover.Content>
</Popover.Root>

Rules

1. popover={popover} → open={popover.open} onOpenChange={popover.setOpen} on Popover.Root
2. trigger={<Component />} → wrap in <Popover.Trigger asChild><Component /></Popover.Trigger>
3. side, align, sideOffset, alignOffset, className move to <Popover.Content>
4. Children of the old <Popover> become children of <Popover.Content>
5. Keep usePopover() — it still works

Files to Refactor

1. packages/interface/src/Spacebot/ChatComposer.tsx
2. packages/interface/src/Spacebot/SpacebotLayout.tsx
3. packages/interface/src/Spacebot/routes/ChatRoute.tsx
4. packages/interface/src/routes/explorer/components/PathBar.tsx
5. packages/interface/src/routes/overview/OverviewTopBar.tsx
6. packages/interface/src/components/SyncMonitor/SyncMonitorPopover.tsx
7. packages/interface/src/components/JobManager/JobManagerPopover.tsx
8. packages/interface/src/components/Tags/TagSelector.tsx
9. packages/interface/src/windows/VoiceOverlay.tsx

Search for <Popover followed by popover= in each file and apply the pattern above.
