-### **(v0.241.008)**
-
-#### User Interface Enhancements
-
-*   **Chat Scroll Behavior and 508 Usability**
-    *   Updated chat message rendering so the viewport no longer jumps to the very bottom of long assistant responses when they finish loading while the user is reading near the top.
-    *   Auto-scroll now only occurs when the user is already near the bottom of the conversation, and a floating "scroll to latest message" button appears when new content arrives below the current view.
-    *   This aligns the chat experience more closely with other AI chat tools and reduces unexpected motion for 508 testers and keyboard users.
-    *   (Ref: `chats.html`, `chat-global.js`, `chat-messages.js`)
