# Bug 248: Chat does not auto-scroll to new messages

## Description

The chat UI does not automatically scroll to the bottom when new assistant messages stream in. The user has to manually scroll down to see the response, making it appear as if the bot stopped responding.

## How to Reproduce

1. Send a message in the chat UI
2. Wait for the assistant to respond with a long message or multi-turn tool use
3. Observe that the viewport does not scroll to follow the new content

## Actual Result

The viewport stays at the current scroll position. New messages appear below the fold, invisible to the user.

## Expected Result

The chat viewport should auto-scroll to the bottom as new content streams in, keeping the latest message visible.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Bug is fixed and verified
