💡 What: Optimized the rendering of chat history by preventing automatic scrolling after each message render.
🎯 Why: Loading a chat session with many messages caused layout thrashing (repeated read/write of scrollTop), slowing down the UI.
📊 Impact: Eliminates N-1 forced reflows during session load, where N is the number of messages. The UI now updates layout once at the end.
🔬 Measurement: Verify by loading a long chat session and observing the absence of "jank" or layout shifts during loading. Code review confirmed sequential rendering is necessary for correctness, so parallelization was reverted in favor of this safe optimization.

- Refactor `AgentViewMessages.displayMessage` to accept `shouldScroll` flag
- Update `SessionUICallbacks` to support `shouldScroll` and `scrollToBottom`
- Refactor `loadSessionHistory` to use sequential rendering with `shouldScroll: false` to prevent layout thrashing
- Call `scrollToBottom` once after all messages are rendered
