Description
The problem
I researched this, and I found that when I start a chat and keep it open, the app crashes within 15 minutes or less—even if I am still interacting with the Shiny app (ruling out a connection timeout by the Shiny server). This behavior only occurs when I open a shinychat instance within the app that uses the shinychat and elmer packages.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by keeping a Shiny app open with a shinychat instance that uses the shinychat and elmer packages while interacting with it. Start by isolating that package combination and observing memory until the reported crash occurs. Done means the chat remains usable beyond 15 minutes without the out-of-memory failure.
