πŸ’‘ What: Implemented auto-scrolling functionality for the chat timeline using Vue refs and a watch effect with flush: 'post'. Added proper ARIA attributes to the chat container.

🎯 Why: Dynamic chat logs without auto-scroll force users to manually scroll down with every new message, creating friction. Additionally, dynamic updates lack context for screen reader users without role="log" and aria-live regions.

πŸ“Έ Before/After: Visually unchanged, but new messages instantly scroll into view automatically.

β™Ώ Accessibility:

  • Added role="log" and aria-live="polite" to automatically announce new incoming chat messages.
  • Added :aria-busy="isSending" to let screen readers know when the chat stream is awaiting completion.
