Summary

This PR fixes the classroom chat panel so it stays within the screen and scrolls internally. It also groups consecutive messages from the same sender to reduce repeated usernames and avatars.

Changes

• Fixed chat panel height so the classroom page no longer scrolls as a whole.
• Made #chatMessages scroll independently using flex-1, min-h-0, and overflow-y-auto.
• Kept the chat header and input fixed with shrink-0.
• Added smooth auto-scrolling for new messages.
• Preserved the user’s scroll position when reading older messages.
• Grouped consecutive messages from the same sender by hiding repeated username/avatar headers.
• Added data-participant-id to compare the current message sender with the previous one.
• Used tighter spacing for continuation messages.

Testing

• Sent multiple messages from the same user and confirmed they were grouped.
• Added enough messages to verify only the chat list scrolls.
• Confirmed the input stays pinned at the bottom.
• Checked that scrolling upward is not interrupted by auto-scroll.
• Verified smooth auto-scroll works for the user’s own messages.
• Confirmed layout classes are removed when leaving the classroom.

Closes #118 Assisted by AI using automatic multi-model routing, primarily Ollama.
