The sidebar was not scrollable when the conversation list exceeded the available screen height, causing conversations to be cut off and inaccessible to users.
Problem
The sidebar container used
h-fullbut lacked proper flex layout, preventing the thread list section from taking the remaining space and scrolling independently when content overflows.Solution
Added
flex flex-colclasses to the main sidebar container to enable proper space distribution:flex-1) takes remaining available heightoverflow-y-autocan now work properly within the constrained heightChanges
src/components/sidebar/Sidebar.tsx: Addedflex flex-colto sidebar container (minimal 1-line change)src/components/sidebar/Sidebar.test.tsx: Comprehensive tests to verify layout structure and scrolling behaviorTesting
The fix ensures users can scroll through all conversations when the list grows beyond the sidebar height.
Fixes #11.
