Contributions summary:Andrew primarily contributed to the development of UI components within the `box/box-ui-elements` repository, focusing on the "targeting" feature. Their work involved implementing and integrating new types, contexts, and APIs related to message targeting. They also added a `MessageContextProvider` and `useMessage` hook to support the targeting functionality, alongside tests to ensure the components' behavior. Furthermore, they modified the `Tooltip` component by adding the ability to stop event propagation and introduce custom positioning capabilities.
