Maurice 3c73da4427 fix(assistant): bring the end of a long answer into view once it is written
A new question is held at the top of the view, so its answer reads from its
first line. When the answer carries steps, a strip of places and cards, its
closing words and the changes to apply ended below the view, and the user
saw only the places found. Once the answer is written, the thread now
scrolls to where those closing blocks begin, or to the bottom when they are
shorter than the view, unless the user scrolled it by hand meanwhile.
