Reset follow mode when the feed is cleared.

When a reader scrolls away from the bottom and clicks Clear, ActivityLog stays mounted and following.current can remain false. If the pane is already at scrollTop === 0, clearing the events does not need to emit a scroll event. Following events can then remain below the viewport.

Reset following.current when latestId is absent.

Suggested fix
   useClientLayoutEffect(() => {
     const pane = scrollRef.current;
-    if (pane && latestId && following.current) pane.scrollTop = pane.scrollHeight;
+    if (!latestId) {
+      following.current = true;
+      return;
+    }
+    if (pane && following.current) pane.scrollTop = pane.scrollHeight;
   }, [latestId, scrollRef]);

🟡 Cleared activity stops following new events

After clearing activity while scrolled to the top, following stays false. The pane remains at zero, so no scroll event resets it. New events eventually extend below the viewport unseen.

Learn more

The activity panel stores a preference to follow incoming events in following. Scrolling to the top of a long list disables it. clearEvents replaces that list with an empty one, but leaves the scrollable pane mounted. If its scroll position is already zero, clearing need not fire a scroll event, so the hook retains the disabled preference even as new items arrive. The panel stays at the oldest new items once it overflows.

Example: With 300 events, a reader scrolls to the first event, then clicks Clear. Ten new events fill the pane and a twentieth goes below it; the panel remains at the top instead of showing event twenty.

Recommended fix: Reset the follow preference when the feed is explicitly cleared, or when it transitions from a nonempty list to empty. Avoid resetting it during ordinary message pagination or a transient content update.
