📋 Decision Context

Question:

Why was the widget-generator div not scrollable in the AI panel?

Task: Make widget-generator div scrollable in AI panel

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Fix :host styles to establish flex context

Options Considered:

Add scroll to parent container
Fix :host styles to establish flex context
Use JavaScript to calculate heights

💭 Reasoning

The component's host element lacked proper CSS to participate in the flex layout chain. Without :host { display: flex; flex: 1; min-height: 0; }, the component couldn't properly stretch within .panel-content. The min-height: 0 is critical - it allows flex children to shrink below their content size, which is required for overflow-y: auto to take effect. This is a common flexbox scrolling pattern.
