Description
currently we use balloon.css. The biggest issue we are facing is that sometimes the tooltip will not fit in the viewport.
Search for possible replacements:
Most of the ui is already converted to solidjs, so the tooltip replacement doesn't need to support non-solid uses like test-results or the static html pages.
The TestActivityCalendar can be ignored as well until it is converted to solid (#8339)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Kobalte and tippy.js tooltip documentation, then locate the existing balloon.css usage in the SolidJS UI. Compare candidates against viewport fitting and SolidJS support; leave TestActivityCalendar and non-Solid pages out of scope. Done means documenting a suitable replacement and its migration scope.
