Add ChatController that proxies POST /api/chat to the local Responses API (localhost:8317/v1/responses) with SSE streaming. Client reads tokens via SetBrowserResponseStreamingEnabled and renders them incrementally. Includes thinking indicator, input disabled during streaming, and error handling.

Purpose
Define the chat interface — message display, input handling, auto-scroll, and routing.
Requirements
Requirement: Message display
The chat page SHALL display messages in a vertically scrolling list, with each message showing the sender role (user or assistant), the message content, and a visual distinction between user and assistant messages (e.g., alignment, color, or avatar).
Scenario: User message displayed
- WHEN the user sends a message
- THEN the message appears in the message list aligned or styled to indicate it is from the user
Scenario: Assistant message displayed
- WHEN the assistant responds
- THEN the response appears in the message list with distinct styling from user messages (different alignment, color, or avatar)
Scenario: Message ordering
- WHEN multiple messages exist in the conversation
- THEN messages are displayed in chronological order, oldest at top
Requirement: Message input
The chat page SHALL provide a text input area at the bottom of the page where the user can type and submit messages.
Scenario: Submit via button
- WHEN the user types text and clicks the send button
- THEN the message is added to the conversation and the input is cleared
Scenario: Submit via Enter key
- WHEN the user types text and presses Enter
- THEN the message is submitted (same as clicking send)
Scenario: Empty input blocked
- WHEN the user attempts to send an empty or whitespace-only message
- THEN nothing is sent and no message is added
Scenario: Input disabled during streaming
- WHEN the assistant is currently streaming a response
- THEN the input field and send button are disabled until streaming completes
Requirement: Thinking indicator
The chat page SHALL show a visual indicator while waiting for the first token from the assistant.
Scenario: Indicator shown during wait
- WHEN the user sends a message and the assistant has not yet started streaming
- THEN a thinking indicator (e.g., animated dots) is shown in the assistant message area
Scenario: Indicator replaced by content
- WHEN the first token arrives from the stream
- THEN the thinking indicator is replaced by the streamed text
Requirement: Streaming AI response
The assistant SHALL reply with a real AI response streamed from the backend API. Tokens appear incrementally as they arrive.
Scenario: Bot replies with streamed AI response
- WHEN the user sends any message
- THEN the assistant message appears and grows token by token as the stream delivers text
Requirement: Auto-scroll
The message list SHALL automatically scroll to the newest message when a new message is added.
Scenario: New message scrolls into view
- WHEN a new message (user or assistant) is added to the conversation
- THEN the message list scrolls to the bottom so the new message is visible
Requirement: Chat page is default route
The chat page SHALL be the default route (/) of the application.
Scenario: App opens to chat
- WHEN the user navigates to the root URL
- THEN the chat page is displayed
