r=me but please address nits. Thanks Matt!

Nit: let's improve variable names:

r-> cornerRadius
arrowHalfLength -> arrowWidth (and multiply by 0.5)

Nit: 'let' it be

It took me a little bit to understand this. So basically, we make a smaller bounds where we could correctly draw the arrow attached to any point of the bound. The earlier point we could attach the arrow is cornerRadius + 0.5 * arrowWidth away from any corner. Then we clamp the anchor point's x, y.

Maybe we could come up with better names, like adjustedAnchorBounds or something. Or maybe it's just a messy bit of code.
I think using Number.constrain would make it clearer:

anchorPoint.x = Number.constrain(anchorPoint.x, anchorPointBounds.minX(), anchorPointBounds.maxX())
...

I like this better. Have a bounds rectangle is also misleading, since the arrow is really just bound on one axis, not both.

I don't think arrowWidth is an improvement.
