No. Errors are mean to be kept, not to be hidden. What is the point of throwing an error if it gets hidden automatically? There is already an option to close all operations if the user wants to. |

Auto-dismiss failure dialogs with configurable timeout
Any user suspected of farming GitHub activity with crypto purposes will get banned. Submitting broken code wastes the contributors' time, who have to spend their free time reviewing, fixing, and testing code that does not even compile breaks other features, or does not introduce any useful changes. I appreciate your understanding.
Summary
This PR implements auto-dismiss functionality for operation failure dialogs, solving the UX problem of manually closing dozens of failure dialogs when multiple package operations fail.
Problem Statement
When multiple package operations fail (e.g., 50 out of 100 updates), users must manually close each failure dialog. Since failed operations remain visible in the Operation History, persistent dialogs aren't necessary for record-keeping. This creates significant friction and disrupts workflow.

Timer-Based State Management:
Instead of boolean flags (
_isHovered,_autoDismissCancelled), we use timer lifecycle:nulltimer = cancelled/disabledStop()/Start()= hover pause/resumeAccessibility Throttling:
Screen reader announcements throttled to avoid noise:
Single Cleanup Point:
StopAutoDismiss()is the only method that tears down the timer:Testing
