Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Web Chat message-history and rendering entry points; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Compare message limits, rendering speed, scroll-up pagination, search, semantic zooming, and a pop-out modal. Done would require an agreed design for viewing large amounts of past conversation.
