🤖 Auto-grow chat input to 50vh with scroll for long content (#123)
Simplified chat input UX by removing manual resize dragger in favor of auto-growing textarea based on content. ## Changes **VimTextArea:** - Changed max-height from 200px to 50vh - Updated auto-resize logic to use `window.innerHeight * 0.5` **ChatInput:** - Removed ResizeHandle component and all drag logic - Updated focusMessageInput and editingMessage effects to use 50vh max ## Result Input grows naturally as you type, scrolls when content exceeds 50% of viewport height. No manual resizing needed - much simpler UX. _Generated with `cmux`_ --------- Co-authored-by: Ammar Bandukwala <ammar@ammar.io>
