+### Auto-resize via postMessage
+
+The embed reports its content height to the parent page whenever the layout changes (initial render, simulation results, expanded cells). The parent listens for `spicebook-resize` messages and updates the iframe height:
+
+```javascript
+window.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
+  if (e.data && e.data.type === 'spicebook-resize') {
+    document.getElementById('spicebook-{notebook_id}').style.height = e.data.height + 'px';
+  }
+});
+```
+
+The message payload:
+
+```json
+{ "type": "spicebook-resize", "height": 1842 }
+```
+
+`height` is `document.documentElement.scrollHeight` in pixels. The embed sends this message on every `ResizeObserver` callback, deduplicated to only fire when height actually changes. The **Embed** button's generated snippet includes this listener automatically.
+
 ### Discovering the embed snippet
 
-In the notebook editor UI, the **Embed** button in the toolbar opens a popover with a ready-to-copy iframe snippet and a theme toggle.
