fix(hud): restore click-through at original bar position after drag

[Reedaaz]

Fixes #535

Problem

The HUD overlay wrapper kept pointer-events: auto at its layout-original position. When the floating bar is dragged, only the inner hudBarTransformRef div shifts visually via CSS translate3d — the outer wrapper stays put. Any mouseenter on that stale area still triggers handleHudMouseEnter → setIgnoreMouseEvents(false) on the full-screen HUD window, which then swallows clicks intended for the underlying app (Excel, browser, etc.).

Fix

Move pointer-events: auto and the mouse enter/leave handlers from the static wrapper onto the transformed hudBarTransformRef div, so the interactive hit area follows the bar's actual rendered position.

Test plan

• Open Excel (or any app), start recording
• Drag the floating bar to a new location
• Click on a cell at the bar's original position → click reaches Excel correctly
• Click on a button on the bar at its new position → bar still interactive
• Webcam preview continues to receive its own pointer events (separate sibling with own handlers)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved HUD bar hover behavior by refining which element receives pointer events and hover handlers. This makes hover targets more precise, reduces accidental triggers, and yields smoother, more responsive mouse interactions over the HUD.

Poem

🐰 I nudged the HUD from shell to core,
The outer sleeps, the inner leaps for more.
A gentle hover, light and fleet—
The bar now knows the mouse's beat.
