🟡 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.

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.

Human Intro
Hi AgentWorkforce team o/
I am experimenting with your tools for localhost collaboration between Codex and Claude, and my early results are very interesting! I noticed that the dashboard view of the active relay chats has several UI/UX bugs; the main body and event list have opposite sorts, plus a number of scrolling bugs related to their single shared overflow container.
I created a quick fix on my docker image, and thought I'd try opening a PR to fix the upstream for other users.
Hope this helps, keep up the great work!
Begin Codex PR
Long-running observer sessions can grow the dashboard beyond the viewport. Chat messages append at the bottom while activity events prepend at the top, and
scrollIntoView()can scroll the entire page into a large empty area instead of keeping the latest message visible.This bounds the desktop and mobile layouts to the viewport, gives chat and activity independent scroll areas, and displays both oldest → newest. A shared hook scrolls only its own pane and follows incoming entries while the reader is near the bottom; scrolling up preserves the reading position until they return near the bottom. Existing older-message pagination retains its scroll anchor.
Validation
Only dashboard source, its test dependencies, regression tests, and the required changelog entry are included. No relay-engine, authentication, or Docker deployment changes.
Before
The shared page overflow leaves chat in an empty area while the much longer activity feed continues.
After
Chat and activity each stay within the viewport and scroll independently, with recent entries at the bottom.
Note
Low Risk
Observer-dashboard UI and scroll behavior only; no engine, auth, or API changes.
Overview
Fixes observer dashboard scrolling so chat and the activity console stay inside the viewport and scroll separately instead of sharing page-level overflow.
Layout pins desktop and mobile shells to
h-dvhwithmin-h-0/overflow-hiddenon the grid, main column, console aside, and feed panels so each pane gets its ownoverflow-y-autoregion.Activity reverses the websocket feed to oldest→newest and wires the list through new
useFollowLatest, which setsscrollTopon the pane only (replacingscrollIntoViewon chat).Chat uses the same hook in paginated feeds: auto-follow new messages when the reader is near the bottom, keep scroll position when scrolled up, and leave older-message prepend anchoring unchanged.
Adds Vitest/jsdom regression tests for follow, resume, prepend, resize, and cleanup; changelog notes the fix.
