Waleed e48c960fe8 fix(chat): keep autoscroll pinned when the virtualizer re-scrolls during streaming (#5093)
* fix(chat): keep autoscroll pinned when the virtualizer re-scrolls during streaming

The sticky-scroll detach heuristic (scrollTop drops while scrollHeight
doesn't grow) could not distinguish a user scrollbar drag from a
programmatic scroll. react-virtual re-pins content by moving scrollTop
whenever a measured row's size changes — including the transient height
shrinks streamdown emits as it re-parses each streaming token — so the
hook misread those upward programmatic scrolls as the user scrolling
away and detached mid-stream.

Gate the scroll-delta detach branch behind a genuine recent user gesture
(pointerdown/up tracking + wheel/touch/keydown stamp). Programmatic
scrolls have no preceding gesture, so they no longer detach; scrollbar
drag, wheel, and keyboard detach are preserved.

* fix(chat): address review — reset pointer ref on teardown, stop wheel/touch opening detach window

- Reset pointerDownRef in effect cleanup so a pointer held through teardown
  (e.g. dragging the scrollbar as a stream finishes) can't leak a stuck-true
  ref into the next session and detach on the first programmatic re-pin.
- Wheel-up and touch-drag already detach directly, so the onScroll delta
  heuristic only needs to authorize scrollbar drag (pointerDownRef) and
  keyboard. Stop stamping the gesture window on wheel/touch, which otherwise
  let a harmless downward wheel open a 250ms window where a virtualizer
  shrink could falsely detach.

* fix(chat): scope detach authorization to real scroll gestures; TSDoc comments

- onPointerDown only marks an active drag when the press targets the scroll
  container itself (the scrollbar), not its content, so a text-selection drag
  on a message can't authorize a detach during a programmatic re-pin.
- Reset lastUserGestureAtRef on teardown alongside pointerDownRef so neither a
  held pointer nor a late keydown can leak across streaming sessions.
- Convert the hook's inline comments to TSDoc on the relevant declarations per
  codebase conventions.

* fix(chat): only upward scroll keys authorize a keyboard detach

onKeyDown stamped the gesture window on any bubbling key, so an unrelated
keypress within USER_GESTURE_WINDOW of a programmatic virtualizer re-pin
could satisfy userDriven and detach mid-stream. Filter to the upward scroll
keys (ArrowUp, PageUp, Home, Shift+Space), mirroring the wheel handler's
upward-only rule, so only a genuine upward keyboard scroll authorizes detach.
