Enhanced the tool menu in the chat input (src/lib/components/chat/MessageInput/InputMenu.svelte) to improve discoverability of tools when more than three are present. Previously, overflow was hidden without a consistently visible scrollbar, making it difficult for users to find additional tools without specific mouse/trackpad actions. This change introduces a persistent scrollbar for overflow and a toggle to show all tools.

Added

A persistently visible scrollbar (using scrollbar-thin class) to the tools list container within src/lib/components/chat/MessageInput/InputMenu.svelte when its content overflows.
A toggle button (chevron SVG icon) below the tools list in src/lib/components/chat/MessageInput/InputMenu.svelte to expand or collapse the list, allowing users to view all available tools or a compact list (max 3 visible by default).

Changed

The tools list container div in src/lib/components/chat/MessageInput/InputMenu.svelte now dynamically applies or removes the max-h-28 class based on the showAllTools state variable, controlled by the new toggle button.
The toggle button uses the same SVG chevron icon that chat collapse on the sidebar uses and rotates 180 degrees to visually indicate the expanded or collapsed state.
The SVG icon for the toggle button in src/lib/components/chat/MessageInput/InputMenu.svelte is styled with text-gray-300 dark:text-gray-600 to match the chat collapse.

Fixed

Improved usability for discovering tools in the input menu when the number of tools exceeds the default visible limit.
Addressed the issue where users without a scroll wheel/trackpad might struggle to reveal overflowing tools.

Breaking Changes

N/A

Additional Information

These changes aim to directly address user feedback regarding the difficulty of finding tools when the list overflows. The solution provides both a visual cue (scrollbar) and an explicit control (toggle button) for managing the display of tools.
No new dependencies were added.
No documentation changes are required for this UI enhancement.
