- Adds role="log", aria-live="polite", and aria-busy bindings to the chat timeline for screen readers.
- Replaces implicit scroll handling with an explicit `{ flush: 'post' }` Vue watcher to ensure auto-scroll stays at the bottom when new entries arrive.

💡 What:
Added an explicit auto-scroll behavior to the
ChatTimelinecomponent using Vue's post-flush watchers ({ flush: 'post' }), ensuring the view remains scrolled to the bottom whenever a new entry arrives or the "isSending" state toggles.Also added essential ARIA attributes (
role="log",aria-live="polite",:aria-busy="isSending") to the scroll container.🎯 Why:
Previously, the timeline did not reliably auto-scroll as new messages were appended, requiring users to manually scroll down to read the latest output. Furthermore, screen readers lacked context for the dynamic nature of this chat region, so appended system messages (or agent replies) were not properly announced, reducing overall accessibility.
