Scrolling over a sandboxed inline HTML render can move the timeline without sending wheel or touch events to its parent. Live follow then snaps back on the next layout update.
Detect upward movement on the host scroll container and opt out through the existing navigation path. Read current DOM geometry so a single scroll is detected before LegendList updates its cached offset. Ignore programmatic new-turn positioning until LegendList's scroll promise settles; retain fractional movement accumulation and height-clamp handling.
Built on @josephv123's original work in #17065, preserving the contributor commits and merging current main. Fixes #17056.
Before (main): resize returns to the bottom.
Before: timeline snaps to the last markers after resize
After: the reader's scroll position survives resize.
After: earlier markers remain visible and Scroll to end is available

The browser API can scroll the host container but cannot inject a physical wheel gesture inside an opaque iframe; the live check simulates its host-side scroll-only event stream. New-turn anchoring is covered by the focused scenario and installed-library source review, not a complete provider send flow. Physical iframe-wheel and new-turn integration still need a human pass. macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Electron desktop were not run; web and Electron share this timeline, while native mobile has a separate one. No provider or wire-contract behavior changes.

Verdict: Approved at 807d06b
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused web scrolling bug fix that detects iframe-chained upward movement and prevents live-follow from snapping the timeline back to the end. The implementation is isolated to existing timeline behavior and includes targeted tests, with no schema, security, billing, deployment, or default-setting changes.

The timeline now detects upward scrolling, including scrolls chained from embedded frames. When live-follow is active and the viewport moves away from the end, the existing manual-navigation handler runs.

Explanation
The changes satisfy the coding requirements in [#17056]. ChatView adds a passive scroll listener and removes it during cleanup. createUpwardScrollDetector detects cumulative upward movement, ignores content-shrink clamping, and preserves live-follow movement toward the end. The existing viewportIsAwayFromEnd check and handleManualNavigation disable follow mode only after the viewport leaves the re-arm band. Focused tests cover frame-chained upward scrolling, growth, shrink clamping, jitter, and cumulative subpixel movement.
Explanation
The production changes and tests stay within [#17056]. They add the host-side scroll detection required for embedded render scrolling and test that detector. No unrelated behavior or unrelated test area is identified.

The description explains the problem, implementation, linked issue, verification results, UI evidence, limitations, and agent details. It does not use every template heading, but it provides the required information in a clear structure.

Detect cumulative subpixel upward scrolling.
If each scroll event moves top upward by at most 1 px, updating previous on every event prevents this detector from ever returning true. A slow scroll chained out of an embedded frame can therefore move the timeline away from the end without disabling live-follow. Retain the comparison baseline across subpixel upward events, while still resetting it when content shrinks or scrolling changes direction.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @josephv123
Fixed in b2d72cac57. The detector now keeps its baseline across upward moves of 1 px or less, so a slow scroll adds up. It resets when content shrinks or the timeline moves toward the end. Added a test for a scroll that moves 0.5 px per event.
@josephv123 Thanks for the fix. The updated detector retains the baseline so subpixel upward moves accumulate past the 1 px threshold. This addresses the reported issue. The 0.5 px-per-event test covers the regression.

Taking over this one as maintainer for batch settings-theme-02. I will preserve your commits, merge current main, tighten the regression coverage, and verify the iframe scroll and programmatic anchoring paths before pushing additive fixes. Thanks for the reproduction and evidence.
