Description

Inspecting a variable shows the hover card briefly, before disappearing, even though the variable can be inspected in the variables side panel.

Research direction

Reproduce the variable inspection behavior shown in the attached GIF, comparing the hover card with the variables side panel. Trace the relevant DevTools variable-inspection entry points and verify that the hover card remains available consistently when a variable can be inspected in the sidebar.
