## Summary ## What changed ### 1. Google Drive Picker now renders above the FileManager modal `frontend/editor/src/core/services/googleDrivePickerService.ts` The picker is opened from inside the FileManager modal (`Z_INDEX_FILE_MANAGER_MODAL = 1200`), but Google's Picker defaults to z-index ~1001 - so it landed *behind* the modal that invoked it. Added `setZIndex(Z_INDEX_OVER_FILE_MANAGER_MODAL)` to the builder. ### 2. `Z_INDEX_AUTOMATE_DROPDOWN` no longer collides with `Z_INDEX_FILE_MANAGER_MODAL` `frontend/editor/src/core/styles/zIndex.ts` Both constants were `1200`. The automate dropdown only needs to sit above the automate modal (1100), so dropped it to `1150`. This keeps automate dropdowns above their parent modal but reliably below the file manager scrim when the two overlap. Confirmed callers - all are dropdowns inside automate-modal tool settings: - `DropdownListWithFooter.tsx` - `AddPageNumbersAppearanceSettings.tsx` - `AddPasswordSettings.tsx` - `StampPositionFormattingSettings.tsx` - and several other `*Settings.tsx` files All keep working as intended (1150 > 1100). ### 3. Tooltip z-index honours the documented hierarchy again `frontend/editor/src/core/components/shared/tooltip/Tooltip.module.css` `Tooltip.tsx` sets `zIndex: Z_INDEX_OVER_FULLSCREEN_SURFACE` (1300) inline, but the CSS module had a hardcoded `z-index: 9999` that overrode it. Removed the stale CSS rule so tooltips render at the intended 1300 level rather than floating above almost everything.
