HoldToStrike

G4 as a behavior: hold ~600ms while the fill sweeps, release early cancels, completion strikes — and the CALLER announces with Undo. A hook for any control plus the ready-made StrikeButton.

Use when

Deleting one thing — a row, an object, a pad. Wrap menu items and icon buttons with the hook.

Don't use when

Cascade deletes — those earn a typed-confirm Overlay.

Keyboard

• Enter/Space heldsame hold; keyup cancels — the keyboard path is first-class

Acceptance

• Release before the threshold never strikes.
• Completion fires exactly once and suppresses the trailing click.
• Every strike is announced with Undo at the call site — undo is a deferred commit, not a restore.
