The hover timeout variable was declared as a local variable inside the component function, causing it to reset on every re-render. When the zoom overlay appeared, it intercepted mouse events, triggering onMouseOut on the thumbnail, which then dismissed the zoom and caused flickering. Changes: - Use useRef for hover timeout to persist across re-renders - Track imageToZoom state with a ref to prevent dismiss when zoom is visible - Add click-to-dismiss on both overlay and zoomed image - Add cursor: pointer for better UX Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
