```tsx
"use client"

import { useState } from "react"

import { Bubble, BubbleContent } from "@/components/ui/bubble"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  Collapsible,
  CollapsibleContent,
  CollapsibleTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/collapsible"
import { IconPlaceholder } from "@/app/(create)/components/icon-placeholder"

// Only the remainder goes in the panel, so nothing is duplicated and the
// collapsed height is a real first paragraph rather than a sliced string with
// an ellipsis glued on the end.

  "We raised the pool to 60 and capped the worker at 8 concurrent deliveries. The p95 was back under 400ms four minutes later.",
  "The follow up is a backoff on that worker, so a single processor timeout cannot turn into a retry storm again.",
