I think, Peter, that the second is true: the vowel remains the same in quality but is said/read shorter and more quickly.
Let us compare אהי where, in Hos 13:10 and משי, silk, in Ez 16:10.

Dear Friends,

I'm not in agreement with a friend, whether a vowel - say segol - that
gets a hatef changes in quality OR in quantity. I was taught that a hatef
vowel only is spoken shorter but the vowel itself remains the same.
Is it true ?
Can you help me ?
Yours
Peter Streitenger, Germany
