 ## Chip chrome — single source of truth
 
 Never hand-roll the chip pill from raw class strings (they go stale). Compose from the canonical sources:
 
 - **Surface, typography + content tokens:** `chip/chip-chrome.ts` — `chipFilledSurfaceTokens`, `chipFieldSurfaceClass`, `chipFieldTextClass` (text fields and the dropdown search box build on these), plus the chip-content chrome `chipContentGap`, `chipGeometryClass`, `chipContentIconClass`, `chipContentLabelClass`, `cellIconNodeClass` (non-chip surfaces that must visually match chip content, e.g. resource table cells), and the row-state pair `chipHoverSurfaceClass` / `chipActiveSurfaceClass` (hover vs. selected — mutually exclusive, so a selected row holds its surface through hover; every hand-rolled row imports these rather than restating the literals). All are re-exported from the `@sim/emcn` barrel — no subpath import needed.
-- **Pill geometry:** `chip/chip.tsx` — `chipVariants` (30px tall, `rounded-lg`, `px-2`, icon↔text `gap-1.5`). Every pill-shaped trigger (`ChipDropdown`, `ChipSelect`, `ChipSwitch`) reuses it for visual parity.

 Canonical look: normal font-weight (never `font-medium`/`font-semibold`), value text `--text-body`, icons `--text-icon` at `size-[14px]`, placeholder `--text-muted`, `transition-colors`, **no focus ring** (the caret marks focus).

View-only is a display mode, not a disabled state — reach for it (or `ChipModalField type='copy'`) over a `disabled` (greyed) input for values the user cannot edit.

Supports groups, search aliases, rich labels/icons, disabled options, optional single-selection checks, and trigger refs. Rich labels require a nonempty `searchTerms` array containing their visible text, followed by any aliases; plain string/number labels are searchable automatically. `showAllOption` clears to an empty selection; without it, use `placeholder` for the empty state. Owns its chevron. `dropdownWidth` accepts `'trigger'`, `'content'`, or pixels; `modal={false}` keeps outside-dialog filters non-modal, while nested dialogs retain their focus lock.
+- **`ChipCombobox`** — shared chip styling over the separate `Combobox` engine for editable values, asynchronous results, and virtualized lists. Plain menu selection, including searchable menus, uses `ChipSelect`.
 - **`ChipModal` + `ChipModalField`** — declarative compact modal. The field's `type` (`input` | `email` | `textarea` | `dropdown` | `copy` | `file` | `emails` | `custom`) picks the control and **owns all chrome** — consumers describe intent, never pass `variant`/`className`/`id` to the inner control. `custom` is the escape hatch. **Every body field MUST be a `ChipModalField`** — never hand-roll a field row (raw `<div>` + hand-rolled `<p>`/`<label>` title + bare `ChipInput`/`ChipTextarea`). `ChipModalBody` applies `px-2` + `gap-4`; `ChipModalField` adds another `px-2`, so each field lands at effective `px-4`, exactly matching the `px-4` header/footer — a hand-rolled row skips that gutter and sits misaligned at `px-2`. For controls the field doesn't cover (`ChipCombobox`, `ChipSelect`, `DatePicker`, `TimePicker`, `ButtonGroup`, arbitrary JSX), use `type='custom'` with a `title` — it still applies the gutter and renders the canonical `Label`.
-- **`ChipSwitch`** — segmented pill control (built from `chipVariants`).
+- **`ChipButtonGroup` / `ChipSwitch`** — one Radix radio-group implementation with zero-gap segments and `default`/`compact` density. `ChipButtonGroup` accepts compound children; `ChipSwitch` adapts an options array.
 - **`ChipTag`** — 20px inline tag/badge (`mono`/`gray`/`invite`), not a pill trigger.
 - **`ChipDatePicker`** — chip-styled date field.
 - **`ChipTimePicker`** — minute-granular time sibling of `ChipDatePicker`, a `ChipInput` that leniently parses typed input (`9:47`, `947`, `2:05pm`, `14:30`), commits on Enter/blur, and re-renders the canonical `9:47 AM` label.
-- **`DropdownMenu`** — the canonical context/action menu (Radix-backed). Not a chip, but the standard menu for command/action lists; reach for it instead of a hand-rolled popover. Its surface intentionally diverges from the chip pill (`text-small`, `gap-2`) — keep them distinct. For a pill that opens a value picker, use `ChipDropdown`/`ChipSelect` instead.

The hook reports which edges hide content (tracking scroll and resizes; pass the element itself, held in state, when the region mounts after its owner, e.g. inside a Radix portal); the class and attributes fade a fixed 12px band at an active edge only, so a list that fits or sits at its top is never fogged. A floating control over the top edge sets `--scroll-fade-inset` to its height. A region that scrolls sideways (a tab row, a chip strip) uses `useScrollEdges(ref, { axis: 'x' })` with `scrollFadeXClass`; the attributes helper is shared. Any divider beside the region belongs to the neighboring block (`border-b` above, `border-t` below), never to the masked element, and shows only while that edge is active. Never hand-roll a `mask-image` gradient for a scroll region.
 - **`OverflowText`** — the canonical single-line overflow treatment for read-only human labels and titles. It owns `min-w-0`, fade-only clipping (never an ellipsis), the conditional 18px edge mask, and the full-value floating tooltip; consumers pass only layout/typography through `className`. `overflowTextClipClass` and `overflowTextFadeClass` are the complete base/faded treatments for the rare component that must own measurement itself; never pair either with `truncate`, `text-ellipsis`, or hover-time mask removal. Use `DropdownMenuItemLabel` for a menu label beside icons, checks, or actions. A non-editable `Combobox` passes the full visual value through `overlayLabel`; the combobox owns the visual overlay's fade and keeps its one accessible tooltip on the interactive layer. Keep ordinary `truncate` only for editable values, code/log/path content, dense or virtualized grids, and rich composite content that cannot supply a plain tooltip label.
