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
