-**Previously:** PARTIAL — `BackendSelectionStep.tsx` lines 58-59 contained a plain `<label htmlFor="remote-name">` + `<input id="remote-name">` block with no floating label.
+**Previously:** COMP-04 had 4 FAILED truths related to tooltip behavior and icon placement identified in UAT session (test 7).
 
-**Now:** VERIFIED — Plan 09-04 (commit `123f24c`) replaced the block with:
+**Now:** All 4 fixed in commit `23617c0` (feat) and `d2b6da2` (test):
 
-```tsx
-<TextFieldMD3
-  id="remote-name"
-  label="Remote name"
-  registration={register('name')}
-  error={errors.name}
-  required
-/>
-```
+- `TextFieldMD3.tsx` — added `helpTextPrefix?: React.ReactNode` prop; guard changed to `(helpText || helpTextPrefix) && !error`; renders `<div className="flex items-start gap-1">` wrapping prefix + helpText text
+- `FieldRenderer.tsx` — added `hoverTooltip` state; moved tooltip icon from above-field to `tooltipIcon` element passed as `helpTextPrefix`; select-branch also gains hover support; click-unpin clears hoverTooltip
+- `PasswordField.tsx` — same dual-state tooltip fix as FieldRenderer text-branch

 **Expected:** All MD3 components render correctly with no hardcoded colors bleeding through. Floating label color changes on focus/error still work. Card shadows remain visible but subtle.
 **Why human:** CSS custom property values under the dark theme class cannot be verified without rendering.
 
+#### 5. Tooltip Icon Placement (Visual)
+
+**Test:** Open a step that has fields with `tooltipText` (e.g., RemoteConfigStep with Azure Blob SAS URL field). Inspect the position of the ⓘ icon relative to the input and any helpText.
+**Expected:** The ⓘ icon appears below the input, inline to the left of the helpText (or alone below the input if there is no helpText). It does NOT appear above the input floating-label area.
+**Why human:** The `helpTextPrefix` slot renders inside a `<div className="flex items-start gap-1">` below the input — flexbox layout and visual position must be confirmed in a real browser.
+
+#### 6. Tooltip Hover and Pin Behavior (Manual)
+
+**Test:** Move the mouse over the ⓘ icon on a field with `tooltipText`. Then move the mouse away. Then click and move away. Then click again while still hovering.
+**Expected:** Hover shows tooltip, mouse-leave hides it. Click pins it open so mouse-leave no longer hides it. Second click while hovering dismisses the tooltip completely (no sticky state).
+**Why human:** `fireEvent` in JSDOM verifies state transitions correctly, but actual mouse pointer UX (timing, visual feedback of hover vs. pinned state, tooltip readability at that position) requires manual validation in a browser.

 ### Summary
 
-The single gap from the initial verification is now closed. Plan 09-04 (commit `123f24c`) replaced the plain `<label>+<input>` block in `BackendSelectionStep.tsx` with `TextFieldMD3`, completing COMP-01's "All text inputs" requirement across all wizard steps.
+Plan 09-05 (commits `23617c0` and `d2b6da2`) fully closed all 4 tooltip-related gaps identified in the UAT session:
 
-All 12 must-have truths are VERIFIED. All 5 requirements (COMP-01, COMP-02, COMP-03, COMP-04, DEBT-01) are fully satisfied. The full test suite (179 tests across 15 files) passes with zero regressions.
+1. `helpTextPrefix` prop added to TextFieldMD3 — enables inline slot left of helpText below the input.
+2. Guard changed to `(helpText || helpTextPrefix) && !error` — tooltip icon renders even without helpText.
+3. Tooltip icon moved from above-field position to `helpTextPrefix` slot below the input in both FieldRenderer and PasswordField.
+4. Dual-state hover+click: `onMouseEnter`/`onMouseLeave` drive `hoverTooltip`; click toggles `showTooltip`; click-unpin explicitly clears `hoverTooltip` to prevent sticky-after-dismiss edge case.
+5. Select-branch in FieldRenderer also received hover support (onMouseEnter/onMouseLeave).
 
-Four items remain flagged for human verification — all relate to CSS animation, visual token resolution, and dark mode rendering that cannot be confirmed programmatically. These are quality-of-implementation concerns, not blockers to goal achievement.
