When assistant output streams into an existing bottom-near message, the chat viewport could overshoot and create transient extra scrollable space, causing visible “shake” at the bottom edge. This PR tightens bottom-follow math so incremental same-line updates stay pinned without scrollbar jitter.
Root-cause correction: bottom-follow target
ChatPageauto-scroll to use the real max scroll offset (scrollHeight - clientHeight) instead of assigningscrollHeightdirectly.Behavioral guardrail: focused regression test
ChatPagetest that simulates near-bottom streaming growth and asserts the resultingscrollTopequals the computed max offset.
