Subject: [PATCH] test(ui): stabilize annotation popover submit-shortcut test
 (#11330)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board UI lets users add comments to document annotations
> - The annotation popover test submits a comment with a keyboard
shortcut
> - React can delay the controlled textarea update under load
> - The test can then send the shortcut before the handler sees the
typed value
> - This pull request waits for the value update before it sends the
shortcut
> - The benefit is a stable test that checks the real submit path

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The annotation popover test typed a comment and sent the submit shortcut
in one synchronous step. Under load, React sometimes had not committed
the typed value when the handler ran. The mutation then ran zero times.

**Expected behavior**

The test should wait for the controlled textarea value before it sends
the submit shortcut. The handler should read the comment and call the
create mutation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run `npx vitest run
src/components/DocumentAnnotationPopover.test.tsx` from `ui/`.
2. Repeat the test under system load.
3. Observe intermittent failures where the create mutation runs zero
times.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The test runs against commit `9a08def5752bb13e4cbcb304c6295e175c92db3c`.

**Deployment mode**

This change affects the UI test suite only. It does not depend on a
deployment mode.

## What Changed

- Wait for the Comment button to enable after the controlled value
updates.
- Send the submit shortcut after React commits the typed value.
- Keep the test focused on the compose-mode submit path.

## Verification

- The author ran `npx vitest run
src/components/DocumentAnnotationPopover.test.tsx` from `ui/` with 3
tests passing.
- The current handoff worktree could not repeat the test because its
installed dependencies lack `react/jsx-runtime`.
- GitHub Actions will run the required project checks.

## Risks

Low risk. The change updates one UI test file and does not change
product code.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The model used tool calls and code execution. The
context window size was not provided.
