fix(panel,video): dead dialog triggers behind tooltips; dotted composition ids render

HelpTip nested inside a Dialog/AlertDialog trigger puts the trigger's
click handler on the Tooltip root, which renders no DOM — the agents
Spawn item and the KB Reindex-All / Delete-index confirms were dead.
Tooltips now wrap the triggers. The video renderer accepts interior
single dots in composition ids (release-0.25.0) with '..' still
unrepresentable, and propose_video refuses an unrenderable id at
authoring time.
