Problem

In the desktop/web app, user messages have two separate action areas:

  1. A copy button that appears on hover (top-right of message text)
  2. A three-dot menu with Revert/Fork/Copy actions that appears as a separate overlay

This creates visual clutter and inconsistent UX - users see two different icon groups appearing in different locations.

Proposed Solution

Consolidate both action buttons into a single location:

  • Move the three-dot menu button next to the existing copy button
  • Both buttons appear together on hover over the user message text
  • Right-click context menu remains unchanged

Benefits

  • Cleaner UI with single action area
  • Consistent hover behavior
  • Better discoverability of actions (all in one place)
