Summary

This PR fixes an issue where the chat input textarea had a fixed height, causing long messages to be hidden. The input now auto-expands vertically as the user types, improving visibility and the editing experience.

Fixes

Closes #2939

Changes

  • Updated directive on the textarea.
  • Added helper to dynamically set style.height based on scrollHeight.
  • Ensures height resets correctly when the message is sent.

🤖 AI Contribution Info

  • AI-Assisted: Yes
  • Testing Level: Lightly tested (Verified logic locally)
  • Understanding: I confirm I understand the code changes. It uses the standard scrollHeight technique to expand the box and the directive to ensure it resets when the Lit component state changes (e.g. after sending).
