feat(chat): live status line, smart auto-scroll, operator persona - #144

…persona
Three pieces of dev-testing feedback on the operator chat:
The live activity area was a scrolling wall of identical httpCalls rows
(some spinning forever when their completion event never pairs up). End-user
live mode is now one honest status line - "Thinking..." or "Using {tool}..."
from the latest toolTrace evidence, plus a tool-call count. Failed tasks and
cascade traces still break through to the full view; the debug surface keeps
the classic step list. New locale key in 11 languages.
Scrolling up during generation no longer snaps back down: the operator chat
and the test-chat drawer now use the same smart auto-scroll as the main
panel (follow only at bottom), and all three surfaces show a centered
scroll-to-bottom arrow with a new-content pulse while scrolled up.
The operator prompt gains a personality-and-formatting section: friendly but
precise, Markdown for anything beyond a short reply, an overview line ahead
of longer answers, and a handful of signpost emojis - road signs, not
decoration. Applies to newly provisioned operators.

- Around line 93-105: Update the useSmartAutoScroll invocation in the chat
drawer to include isOpen in deps so opening the drawer triggers initial
scrolling for existing messages. Add a test covering opening the drawer with a
preexisting transcript and verifying the expected initial scroll behavior.
In `@src/i18n/locales/ar.json`:
- Line 729: Update the toolCallsCount translation to use a complete,
count-neutral Arabic label that explicitly identifies the value as the number of
tool calls, while preserving the {{count}} interpolation.
Apply the same fix in `@src/i18n/locales/en.json` at line 727.
In `@src/i18n/locales/fr.json`:
- Line 706: Update the usingTool translation in the French locale to use the
activity-status phrase “Utilisation de {{tool}}…” instead of the imperative
wording, preserving the existing interpolation placeholder and ellipsis.

CodeRabbit round on the UX PR: the drawer smart-scroll deps now include isOpen (the scroll container mounts only when the drawer opens, so an existing transcript opened at the TOP with no scroll control), pinned by a test that observes the jsdom scrollTop fallback; the Arabic tool-call count becomes a complete count-neutral label; the French usingTool phrase stops reading as an imperative addressed at the user.
…drawer
The main Chat page and the test-chat drawer now render the same
"Thinking..." / "Using {tool}..." live status line the operator chat shows,
driven by the turn's live pipeline events; the old dots indicator covers
only the gap before the first event arrives. One component, one behavior,
all three chat surfaces.
The group-discussion input already had a picker, chips, dedupe and byte caps over its inline-base64 attachment refs - what it lacked vs. the chat surfaces was clipboard paste and drag-drop. Both now feed the same serialized staging queue (caps and dedupe apply unchanged), with the shared drop overlay; continuations keep rejecting attachments, so paste and drop are inert there too.
… scroller Findings from the adversarial pass over the recent commits, all verified: The main chat enforced its debug-turn boundary only on the two handled SSE endings (done/error frames) - a connection drop or thrown stream error left currentTurnEvents populated, and the new live status line rendered the NEXT turn over the previous turn''s tools, counts and error walls, surviving agent switches indefinitely. Both send paths now finalize any leftover turn at send START (the operator store''s pattern), and the no-done safety net finalizes too. Pinned by a leak-regression test; the task_failed test moved its assertions to the finalized turn history accordingly. The main panel''s scroll-to-bottom FAB lived INSIDE the overflow container, so it scrolled away with the content - exactly when it was needed. Same wrapper restructure the operator and drawer got. The smart-scroll hook also treats a freshly mounted container as at-bottom, so reopening the drawer after scrolling up no longer lands at the top (the vacuous open-scroll test now opens AFTER mount, exercising the isOpen dep for real). Polish: singular plural forms for the tool-call count in all pluralizing locales (full CLDR category sets - "1 tool calls" is gone), the drawer follows the growing live status line, BODY_STYLE is pinned by the prompt tests, and a stale test comment is corrected.

Three pieces of dev-testing feedback on the operator chat, following up on #143:
Live activity: one honest status line
The live activity area was a scrolling wall of identical
httpCallsrows — some spinning forever when their completion event never pairs up. End-user live mode is now a single status line: "Thinking…" or "Using {tool}…" derived from the latesttoolTraceevidence, plus a tool-call count. Failed tasks and cascade traces still break through to the full view; the debug surface keeps the classic step list. Newchat.activity.usingToolkey in all 11 locales.Smart auto-scroll on every chat surface
Scrolling up during generation no longer snaps back down. The operator chat and the test-chat drawer now use the same smart auto-scroll as the main panel — follow new content only while at the bottom — and all three surfaces show a centered scroll-to-bottom arrow (with a new-content pulse) while scrolled up.
Operator persona & formatting
The default operator prompt gains a personality-and-formatting section: friendly but precise, Markdown for anything beyond a short reply, an overview line ahead of longer answers, and a handful of signpost emojis (✅⚠️ ❌ 💡) — road signs, not decoration. Applies to newly provisioned operators; existing ones keep their stored prompt until re-activated.
Tests: 5187 pass, typecheck and i18n gates clean.
