Nested scroll: tool result max-height creates scroll-within-scroll on mobile #26

Description

@aasis21

Problem

.tc-pre is capped at max-height: 240px with its own overflow:auto (chat.css ~line 421). Nesting a scroll region inside the page scroller is awkward on touch — you can trap the scroll and it fights the thread scroll.

Suggested fix

Prefer "show more" expansion over an inner scroll region, or only enable inner scroll when the card is explicitly expanded full-screen.
