Description

When scrolling through history, split the screen to keep the latest messages in view. This would be something like the top 3/4 dedicated to scrollback and the bottom 1/4 for new messages. If there are no new messages, then there is no need to split the screen when in scrollback.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the console client's scrollback and message-rendering entry points, then determine how history and incoming messages are displayed. Done means scrolling history keeps the latest messages visible in a lower area, while no split is shown when there are no new messages.
