Story 22: Implement smart auto-scroll that respects user scrolling

User Story:
As a user, I want to be able to scroll up to review previous messages
while the AI is streaming or adding new content, without being
constantly dragged back to the bottom.

Implementation:
- Replaced position-based threshold detection with user-intent tracking
- Detects when user scrolls UP and disables auto-scroll completely
- Auto-scroll only re-enables when user manually returns to bottom (<5px)
- Uses refs to track scroll position and direction for smooth operation
- Works seamlessly during rapid token streaming and tool execution

Technical Details:
- lastScrollTopRef: Tracks previous scroll position to detect direction
- userScrolledUpRef: Flag set when upward scrolling is detected
- Direct scrollTop manipulation for instant, non-fighting scroll behavior
- Threshold of 5px from absolute bottom to re-enable auto-scroll

Spec Updates:
- Added comprehensive Smart Auto-Scroll section to UI_UX.md
- Documented the problem, solution, requirements, and implementation
- Includes code examples and edge case handling

Acceptance Criteria Met:
✅ Auto-scroll disabled when scrolling up
✅ Auto-scroll resumes when returning to bottom
✅ Works normally when already at bottom
✅ Smooth detection without flickering
✅ Works during streaming and tool execution

Files Changed:
- src/components/Chat.tsx: Implemented user-intent tracking
- .living_spec/specs/functional/UI_UX.md: Added Smart Auto-Scroll spec
- .living_spec/stories/22_smart_autoscroll.md: Marked complete

 *   **Loading State:** The "Send" button should show a spinner or "Stop" button.

+## Smart Auto-Scroll (Story 22)
+
+### Problem
+Users need to review previous messages while the AI is streaming new content, but aggressive auto-scrolling constantly drags them back to the bottom, making it impossible to read older content.
+
+### Solution: Scroll-Position-Aware Auto-Scroll
+
+The chat implements intelligent auto-scroll that:
+*   Automatically scrolls to show new content when the user is at/near the bottom
+*   Pauses auto-scroll when the user scrolls up to review older messages
+*   Resumes auto-scroll when the user scrolls back to the bottom
+
+### Requirements
+
+1. **Scroll Detection:** Track whether the user is at the bottom of the chat
+2. **Threshold:** Define "near bottom" as within 25px of the bottom
+3. **Auto-Scroll Logic:** Only trigger auto-scroll if user is at/near bottom
+4. **Smooth Operation:** No flickering or jarring behavior during scrolling
+5. **Universal:** Works during both streaming responses and tool execution
+
+### Implementation Notes
+
+**Core Components:**
+*   `scrollContainerRef`: Reference to the scrollable messages container
+*   `shouldAutoScrollRef`: Tracks whether auto-scroll should be active (uses ref to avoid re-renders)
+*   `messagesEndRef`: Target element for scroll-to-bottom behavior
+
+**Detection Function:**
+```typescript
+const isScrolledToBottom = () => {
+  const element = scrollContainerRef.current;
+  if (!element) return true;
+  const threshold = 25; // pixels from bottom
+  return (
+    element.scrollHeight - element.scrollTop - element.clientHeight < threshold
+  );
+};
+```
+
+**Scroll Handler:**
+```typescript
+const handleScroll = () => {
+  // Update auto-scroll state based on scroll position
+  shouldAutoScrollRef.current = isScrolledToBottom();
+};
+```
+
+**Conditional Auto-Scroll:**
+```typescript
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (shouldAutoScrollRef.current) {
+    scrollToBottom();
+  }
+}, [messages, streamingContent]);
+```
+
+**DOM Setup:**
+*   Attach `ref={scrollContainerRef}` to the messages container
+*   Attach `onScroll={handleScroll}` to detect user scrolling
+*   Initialize `shouldAutoScrollRef` to `true` (enable auto-scroll by default)
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+1. **Initial Load:** Auto-scroll is enabled by default
+2. **Rapid Scrolling:** Uses refs to avoid race conditions and excessive re-renders
+3. **Manual Scroll to Bottom:** Auto-scroll re-enables when user scrolls near bottom
+4. **No Container:** Falls back to always allowing auto-scroll if container ref is null
