fix(chat): stop autoscrolling while a reply streams (owner direction)

Browse Source 
TODO.md L5: "Get rid of the chat reply autoscroll, it's breaking things
like making it impossible for the user to scroll while a reply
generates." Owner direction 2026-08-27 (roadmap A1) revises the
phase-18 follow-the-bottom choice: the page NEVER auto-scrolls while a
turn streams. Kept (owner decision): the submit reveal (the user's own
message) and the one-shot phase-14 restore landing.

- frontend/assets/app.js: delete NEAR_BOTTOM_PX + isNearBottom;
  scrollReveal becomes the one unconditional scrollIntoView (still
  smooth, still "auto" under prefers-reduced-motion via SCROLL);
  addMessage(who, html, scroll = false) carries an explicit scroll
  intent — only the submit (", true") and the two restore landings
  scroll. The thinking/tool/delta handlers and the typing indicator
  drop their page-scroll calls; the thinking block's INTERNAL
  bottom-pin (textEl.scrollTop, phase 17 — reworked separately in
  phase 43) and the turn-end focus({ preventScroll: true }) survive.
- tests/unit/test_frontend_scroll.py: rewritten pin for the new
  contract — phase-18 gate absent, helper unconditional, explicit
  intent at submit/restore, no page-scroll call in the streaming
  handlers, typing bubble scroll-free, SCROLL reduced-motion intact.
- tests/unit/test_chat_persistence.py: restore-landing pin updated to
  the new signature (the old forced "auto" is gone; the landing
  rides the default SCROLL — noted at the call site).
- tests/e2e/test_no_reply_autoscroll.py (new, replaces the deleted
  test_follow_bottom_scroll.py): no autoscroll across >=10 samples
  (1px tolerance) during a long answer and during the thinking stream;
  submit-from-the-top still reveals the user message; the restore
  landing lands one-shot on the latest message and stays; long answer
  + sources and the collapsed thinking block persist and restore.

E2E (isolation): test_no_reply_autoscroll.py 5/5; regressions
test_chat_rag 3/3, test_thinking_display 5/5,
test_chat_persistence 4/4, test_long_answers 2/2, test_smoke 3/3;
unit+integration 723 passed, app/ coverage 99%; ruff + pyright clean.

"""Phase 18 E2E (Playwright, mock-only): the chat follows the bottom.
Story: ``.agent/user_stories/follow-bottom-scroll.md``
Run in isolation (DB must be up: ``podman compose up -d db``):
uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_follow_bottom_scroll.py -v --no-cov
The follow-the-bottom contract (owner choice 2026-08-23, option 1 — no
"↓ new content" pill): the page auto-scrolls *only while the user is
already pinned at the bottom*; submitting a question reveals the user's
own message; once the user scrolls up, nothing auto-scrolls for the rest
of the turn (thinking or answer); a restored conversation still lands on
the latest message.
MOCK-ONLY suite: the scenarios key off the deterministic mock's
``write a long answer`` trigger (~900 words ≈ 8s of streaming — a wide,
reliable window to scroll away in) and, for scenario 4, the phase-17
``think out loud`` trigger (both fire independently). ``E2E_REAL_LLM=1``
would make the scroll-away windows unpredictable, so it is not supported
here.
Measurement convention: the scroller is the DOCUMENT — there is no inner
scroll container (``body`` is ``min-height: 100dvh``; the page scrolls on
the window). Scroll position is read via ``page.evaluate`` as
``{ y: window.scrollY, sh: document.documentElement.scrollHeight,
ch: window.innerHeight }``; "near bottom" = ``sh - y - ch <= 200``
(mirrors the frontend's ``NEAR_BOTTOM_PX``); scrolling to the top is
``page.evaluate("() => window.scrollTo(0, 0)")``.
Real-user flow: the user submits from the composer — i.e. pinned at the
bottom (a normal ``fill`` + ``Enter``/click) — and only *after* the
stream starts do they scroll up to read earlier messages. The no-yank
scenarios follow exactly that sequence, so no off-screen input
manipulation is needed (and Playwright's own click/fill auto-scroll
never fires, because the composer is already in view).
Determinism note: the mock paces every SSE frame at 0.02s, so the long
answer streams for several seconds — "mid-stream" assertions land
comfortably inside the window on headless Chromium. Every "held still"
assertion compares against the exact ``scrollTo(0, 0)`` position
(tolerance 5px for rounding).
Test → story mapping (Playwright Mapping Rule):
1. ``test_submit_reveals_new_message``
2. ``test_stream_follows_while_pinned_at_bottom``
3. ``test_no_yank_while_scrolled_up_during_answer_stream``
4. ``test_no_yank_while_scrolled_up_during_thinking``

"""Phase 42 E2E (Playwright, mock-only): the chat NEVER autoscrolls.
Story: ``.agent/user_stories/no-reply-autoscroll.md`` — owner direction
2026-08-27 (TODO.md L5) revising the phase-18 follow-the-bottom choice:
"Get rid of the chat reply autoscroll, it's breaking things like making
it impossible for the user to scroll while a reply generates."

uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_no_reply_autoscroll.py -v --no-cov
This is the INVERSE of the phase-18 contract: while a turn streams
(thinking, tool, or answer frames), nothing moves the viewport — a user
reading earlier content stays exactly where they put it for the rest of
the turn. The only scrolls left in the app are user intent: the submit
(the user's own message is revealed) and the phase-14 restore landing
(one-shot, load-time). The phase-18 suite
(``tests/e2e/test_follow_bottom_scroll.py``) is deleted with this one —
its behavior was intentionally removed.
MOCK-ONLY suite: the scenarios key off the deterministic mock's
``write a long answer`` trigger (~900 words ≈ 8–11s of streaming — a
wide, reliable window to scroll away in) and the phase-17
``think out loud`` trigger (~4.5s reasoning stream). ``E2E_REAL_LLM=1``
would make the scroll-away windows unpredictable, so it is not supported
here.
Measurement convention: the scroller is the DOCUMENT — there is no inner
scroll container. ``window.scrollY`` is read via ``page.evaluate``;
"stable" means every sample is within 1px of every other sample (the
story's tolerance). The stylesheet sets no ``scroll-behavior``, so
``window.scrollTo(0, y)`` is instant — the recorded position is the exact
position the stream must not move.
Test → story mapping (Playwright Mapping Rule):
1. ``test_no_autoscroll_during_long_answer``
2. ``test_no_autoscroll_during_thinking``
3. ``test_submit_reveals_user_message``
4. ``test_restore_landing_one_shot``
5. ``test_answer_content_intact``

The JS behavior itself is E2E-covered (tests/e2e/test_follow_bottom_scroll.py);
here we pin the exported band constant and the single-gate markers that the
story depends on — scrollIntoView appears exactly once in app.js, inside
scrollReveal — so a silent regression back to unconditional per-delta /

The owner removed the phase-18 follow-the-bottom auto-follow: the page
NEVER auto-scrolls while a turn streams (thinking / tool / delta frames
all leave the viewport alone), so a user reading earlier content is no
longer yanked down mid-answer. Scrolls happen only on explicit user
intent: the submit (the user's own message is revealed) and the phase-14
restore landing (one-shot, load-time).
The JS behavior itself is E2E-covered
(tests/e2e/test_no_reply_autoscroll.py); here we pin the source markers
of the new contract — the phase-18 gate is gone (no NEAR_BOTTOM_PX /
isNearBottom), scrollReveal scrolls unconditionally and is the single
scrollIntoView in app.js, addMessage takes an explicit `scroll` intent,
and the streaming handlers contain no page-scroll call at all — so a
