[WIP] gifted chat automatically scrolled to bottom bug

[Copilot]

Fix for gifted chat automatically scrolled to bottom bug when isScrollToBottomEnabled=false

Plan:

• Understand the issue: MessageContainer automatically scrolls to bottom when inverted={false} and messages exist, even when user sets isScrollToBottomEnabled={false}
• Identify the problem: onLayoutList callback in MessageContainer doesn't respect isScrollToBottomEnabled prop
• Fix the issue: Add check for isScrollToBottomEnabled before auto-scrolling
• Test that existing functionality still works
• Verify fix resolves the reported issue
• Merge latest master changes to keep branch up to date

Changes Made:

• Modified onLayoutList callback in MessageContainer/index.tsx to check isScrollToBottomEnabled before performing automatic scroll to bottom
• Added isScrollToBottomEnabled to the condition at line 245 and to the dependency array at line 252
• Merged latest master changes (includes TypeScript types fixes and ESLint error fixes)
• This ensures that when users explicitly set isScrollToBottomEnabled={false}, the chat will not automatically scroll to bottom on layout

Testing:

• All existing tests pass (29/29)
• No new linting errors introduced (only existing warnings remain)
• Verified the fix resolves the exact scenario described in the issue:
  • When inverted={false} and isScrollToBottomEnabled={false}: NO automatic scroll (✅ FIXED)
  • When inverted={false} and isScrollToBottomEnabled={true}: automatic scroll still works (✅ PRESERVED)
  • Default behavior with inverted={true}: unchanged (✅ PRESERVED)

The fix is minimal and surgical - only 2 lines changed to respect the user's explicit intent when they disable scroll-to-bottom functionality.

Fixes #2611.
