Haven't done a code review, but this breaks the nested hit area collision, especially noticeable with small slot targets.
For example, go to the buttons near the bottom of the demo page, drag with the handle, and try to move the button back into the flex. You'll notice it's hard to get the hit area to activate, because the NestedDroppablePlugin is disabling to reduce layout shift.
However, I'm wondering if the NestedDroppablePlugin should be disabled when using non-fluid (aka auto or static) dragging altogether, with all areas enabled by default, since layout shift is no longer an issue.
I suspect that would fix the issue above.

@chrisvxd! Ah nice! I didn't know that was what that did 🙏. Will try it out, I also noticed that limitation and couldn't really understand why it was having issues, specifically with the action bar drag and not with the component drag, was going to try and triage it, but that might be it, thank you. |

@chrisvxd, this should be fixed now. The problem was that the dynamic collision algorithm measured collisions from the dragged components instead of the actionbar. Added a flag to the algorithm to signal when we should measure from the cursor instead, and when that is the case I repositioned the component shape around the cursor for detection. |

- The handle-origin flag is tied to
pointerupon the handle rather than to the pointer gesture/drag lifecycle. If a sub-threshold gesture is released outside the button (or receivespointercancel), no drag callbacks run and the flag remainstrue, so the next body drag is incorrectly treated as a handle drag; ifpointerupis delivered back to the handle after activation, this instead clears the flag before the source becomes idle and unmounts the tracking action bar during the drop animation. Listen for gesture termination onhandleElement.ownerDocument(includingpointercancel) to clear only non-activated gestures, and leave active-drag cleanup toonAnimationEnd.

It should go darker, not lighter. And try to stick with the actual values without introducing color-mix.

Ah nice one! Made it darker here, but did you also mean that we should make it darker in the default @puckeditor/core theme? or lighter for that one is fine?
Also, I decided to use a color-mix, for opacity, if I don't add that, then the whole dropzone turns into a solid color. We also are already doing that for the resting background and the overlay.

Doesn't this override the default sensors for the regular drag? I'm not sure we should change that behaviour.

Interestingly we actually were only applying mouse activators if we used a handle drag but I agree we might want to make this more explicit

Changed it up so it now each pointer accept a callback too. That way we can set it up dynamically based on the source and the event

This plugin causes a delay when switching area, because it was originally designed for the fluid drag mode to avoid layout shift.
With auto/static mode (or the drag handle), there is no layout shift, and so the delay is no longer necessary.
I think we need to either disable that delay, or disable the plugin entirely, in those scenarios.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Right! I actually tried it out originally as you suggested, but I found the delay + buffer area we add around dropzones within this plugin to be quite useful.
For example, if you have a grid that contains a flex as the first item, both without any padding, and you add another component as the second item in the grid, it's quite hard to move the second component to the first position because there's no target area around it (the flex and grid dropzones don't have any spacing between them) so it keeps falling into the nested flex instead of the first position. You can always move the flex instead of the second item, but it's a bit counter intuitive. With the plugin's delay + buffer, you have an easier time targeting it.

Add an opt-in drag handle to the component action bar, so components can be picked up by a small grip icon instead of only by dragging the component itself. Helps with slots that wrap tightly around nested content and are hard to grab. Enabled via dnd.enableDragHandle, off by default. The handle is passed to custom action bars as a dragHandle prop on the actionBar override, the same way parentAction is, and respects permissions.drag. Dragging the component body still works. Registering a handle would otherwise make dnd-kit only start drags from that handle, so useSensors accepts an activatorElements option and DragDropContext registers both the body and the handle.
