Six reported defects, one root theme — our port diverged from the reference semantics: - a user gesture no longer collapses the reserved anchored end space (that snap-to-bottom was the 'anchoring vanishes on a micro-scroll'); it only disarms the follow/anchor machinery, and anchor remeasures after the user takes over can no longer re-position the viewport - the anchor arms synchronously BEFORE the send reaches the store, and the claim compares against the arm-time baseline — arming a frame after the optimistic row committed is why anchoring 'rarely worked' and sending from mid-history did nothing - gestures are selective (wheel up, touch/pointer away from the end, PageUp/Home/ArrowUp), so scrolling toward the end or clicking a row at the live edge no longer kills follow - 'at end' is a tight 40px band against the full content length instead of the list's half-viewport isNearEnd, so the scroll-to-bottom pill appears when the viewport actually leaves the end - reaching the end re-arms follow without knocking an anchored turn out of its mode, and the overlay scrollbar suppression follows scroll ownership rather than the anchor's mere existence - the status/working row moved out of the list footer to a fixed spot above the composer: inside the list it walked down with every streamed line, and its unmount was part of the end-of-stream jerk

// Anchored-turn scroll geometry for the chat timeline.
|
|
//
|
|
// The timeline has three mutually exclusive scroll modes:
|
|
//
|
|
// • `following-end` — stay pinned to the live edge as content grows.
|
|
// • `anchoring-new-turn` — the just-sent user message is parked near the TOP
|
|
// of the viewport and the reply streams into reserved space below it. The
|
|
// viewport does NOT move until the turn outgrows the usable viewport.
|
|
// • `free-scrolling` — the user took over; nothing moves the scroll
|
|
// position until they opt back in.
|
|
//
|
|
// This module is pure geometry: it reads measurements from the virtualized
|
|
// list and answers "how far, if at all, must we scroll to reveal the end of
|
|
// the anchored turn". Keeping it free of DOM and React makes the mode machine
|
|
// testable without a renderer.
|
|
//
|
|
// "Usable viewport" is the visible height minus the composer overlay (the
|
|
// composer floats over the list) minus the anchor offset, so a turn is only
|
|
// considered overflowing when it genuinely cannot be read.
|
|
