Description
I've seen tooltips used to give a reason why an input element is disabled, but this pattern doesn't work with `tooltip(). Here's an example from py-shiny, but I'm sure it repros on the R side.
from shiny.express import ui
with ui.tooltip(id="tt_edit_last"):
ui.input_action_button("edit_last", "Edit last message", disabled=True)
"Undo last response and edit your message"

Research direction
Start by reproducing the linked Shinylive example and tracing the tooltip() behavior for the disabled input_action_button. Compare the Python example with the reported R-side behavior; the issue is done when tooltips provide their explanatory text for disabled buttons.
