Subject: [PATCH] fix(persons): stop person preview covering row action buttons
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The person preview popover fell back to a side (right) placement when
there was not enough space above or below the name. In the funnel actors
modal that side placement lands on the row's own "View recording" button,
so a click aimed at the button hits the popover instead — and for
profile-less actors that popover is the "No profile associated with this
ID" dead end.

Constrain the fallback to above/below only, so the preview can never sit
beside the name over the row's action controls.
