Fix chat panel scroll: replace scrollIntoView with container.scrollTo

Browse Source 
scrollIntoView walks up the DOM and scrolls every ancestor, including
the panel with overflow:hidden — this pushed the header and messages
area off-screen after long LLM responses. Using container.scrollTo
limits scrolling to only the messages div.
