Just a sidenote, I had to apply the patch first with npx patch-package --patch-dir apps/studio/patches to see the changes proposed in this PR to be able to test them (in case it is useful for the next person testing)

The changes look good to me, I left a couple of minor comments but they are non blocking

Codex helped inspect the tooltip usage, research the upstream
@wordpress/uibehavior, implement the Studio-side fix, and run verification. I reviewed the resulting diff and test output.Proposed Changes
Studio UI tooltips now respect the WPDS tooltip delay instead of appearing immediately on hover. This reduces noisy tooltip popups while users move across dense controls or click buttons.
The fix also patches the bundled
@wordpress/uiIconButtonoutput used by Studio so its built-in tooltips no longer force an immediate zero-delay hover behavior.Testing Instructions
