 // z-index strategy (relies on root `isolation: isolate` in layout.tsx):
-//   Tooltip / Popover / Dropdown — no z-index, DOM order is sufficient
-//   Dialog backdrop + popup — z-50, ensures modal covers non-modal portals
+//   All overlay primitives (Tooltip / Popover / Dropdown / Select / Dialog) — z-50
+//   Overlays share the same z-index; DOM order handles stacking when multiple are open.
+//   This ensures overlays inside a Dialog (e.g. a Tooltip on a dialog button) render
+//   above the dialog backdrop instead of being clipped by it.
 //   Toast — z-[99], always on top (defined in toast component)
