18-26: Solid extraction of the initial state logic.

His palms are sweaty, but your approach to relocating the getInitialSelectedAction logic from the effect into a named function is stable and well-structured. This helps keep the code clean and the effect simpler. Great work!

29-30: Ensure consistent re-initialization on prop changes.

Knees weak, arms are heavy—just make sure you're confident that this useEffect only fires when selectedActionString changes, as it won't run on component mount anymore. Double-check if that’s the intended behaviour.

20-21: Event-based assignment is ideal.

Mom’s spaghetti aside, switching from directly passing newAction to using event.target.value is a more standard approach that ensures you're capturing the correct user input each time.

backend/src/models/Hint.js (1)

44-44: Verifying database compatibility for extended string length.

Increasing the string length from DataTypes.STRING to DataTypes.STRING(1024) helps accommodate larger hint content. However, if your existing schema is already in production, confirm that migrations run smoothly and won’t cause database mismatch issues.

frontend/src/scenes/hints/CreateHintPage.jsx (1)

83-84: Target element and tooltip placement updates look good.

Arms are heavy, but these new state variables effectively allow dynamic control over hint positioning and attachment. The updated logic cleanly integrates with the backend model changes.
