MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add shouldAutoScroll property to track when user wants auto-scrolling
- Auto-scroll when user sends a message to see the response
- Auto-scroll during streaming when content height changes
- Auto-scroll when new messages are added to the conversation
- Stop auto-scroll when user manually scrolls up (preserves user intent)
- Resume auto-scroll when user scrolls back to bottom
