## What
Two remaining E2E hardening fixes from the Desktop Smoke flake pattern
introduced by `ac5a18697` (Bestie — added `VITE_BUZZ_BESTIE=1` to
`.env.e2e` and mounted `BestieGlobalOverlay` globally).
The toast/DM-retry fix landed independently in main via #7127
(`input.hover()` + bounded `toHaveCount` wait); that hunk is dropped
from this PR.
## Fixes
### `agent-control-regressions.spec.ts:240` — Stop does not accept an
unconfirmed or foreign-channel result
**Cause:** Playwright 1.60.0's `page.clock.install()` fakes all timers
including `requestAnimationFrame`. The test called it before opening the
settings menu. With RAF frozen, the `DropdownMenuContent`'s `zoom-in-95
duration-150` CSS enter-animation never advances — Playwright's
stability check observes a continuously-changing bounding box until the
30s test timeout.
**Fix:** Re-sequence so the menu is opened on real time first. After
`openAgentActivity`, open the trigger, assert visibility/enabled, call
`waitForAnimations(page)` to settle the enter-animation (real
`setTimeout`, no fake clock installed yet), then install the clock. The
`fastForward(8_001)` correlation timeout still works because it's
scheduled after the clock is active. Pointer actionability preserved —
normal `stop.click()` (no `force`) fails with pointer-interception under
a covering surface.
### `message-feedback-snapshots.spec.ts:97` — profile hover uses the
channel hover surface
**Cause:** `channel.hover()` triggers a CSS `transition-colors`
animation. With the Bestie `LayoutGroup` mounted, `evaluate()` captures
a mid-transition background value that never matches the profile card's
settled token.
**Fix:** `waitForAnimations(page)` after `channel.hover()` and before
reading `channelHoverColor`.
## Evidence
- Target specs pass: stop-turn 8/8, profile-hover passes.
- Full `agent-control-regressions.spec.ts` (7 tests) green.
- `just desktop-typecheck` clean at pushed head `0fbfe2a9f`.
- No production code changed.
