+## [0.1.53] - 2026-02-23
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed chat scrolling UP to an older message instead of staying at the bottom when a bot reply arrives.
+- Eliminated requestAnimationFrame race condition in `_scrollToBottom()` that caused `_autoScrollPinned` to be incorrectly set to false when rapid re-renders overlapped.
+- Added `overflow-anchor: none` to the messages container to prevent browser scroll anchoring artifacts after innerHTML replacement.
