Building a Speed Dial Menu in React

Mental model: A floating action button (FAB) that toggles a stack of action buttons. One open boolean controls everything; the actions animate in (translate + fade) with a per-item stagger delay. Close on action click and on outside click.

Step 1 — Open state + FAB
