[bug] Last line of a chat response is hidden behind the composer box #1512

Description

Problem

The last line of a chat response is hidden behind the "Ask anything about your data..." composer box. The message area does not reserve enough height for the composer, so the tail of the answer sits underneath it and the user has to scroll manually to read the end of every response.

It gets worse when a popup is docked above the composer - the feedback request (thumbs up / thumbs down) or the "turn this analysis into a story" prompt. Those add height and cut roughly the bottom two rows of the response.

Reported from a customer deployment with a screenshot: the final sentence of an answer is visibly clipped mid-line by the composer, with the "Ask" affordance floating over the text.

Not blocking - the content is reachable by scrolling - but it costs an extra action on every single answer, which is the most repeated interaction in the product.

Expected behavior

  • The chat transcript is never occluded by the composer. The scroll container's bottom padding accounts for the composer's real height, including any popup currently docked above it.
  • When a feedback prompt or story prompt appears, the transcript reflows so the last line stays fully visible.
  • On a new response, the view lands on the end of the message with the last line fully readable, no manual scroll.
