fix(jetbrains): facelift session controls by kirillk · Pull Request #12180 · Kilo-Org/kilocode

What changed

This PR is mostly a JetBrains session UI facelifting pass. It tightens prompt, progress, rollback, and editor chrome details so the session surface feels more native and consistent.

Features, one by one:

Improve rollback/redo scrolling so rollback waits for the visible marker and redo scrolls to the restored message instead of forcing the transcript bottom.
Share prompt editor chrome and font styling with the custom plan/question answer editor.
Show prompt and custom-answer editor scrollbars only when capped content overflows, using the standard auto-hiding editor scrollbar behavior.
Align the progress footer left inset with regular transcript content.
Add a right-aligned ticking elapsed timer to the progress footer, formatted as 59s, 1m 22s, and 1h 1m 22s.
Use IntelliJ's standard red stop icon for the prompt stop button.
Match the prompt send icon color to the scroll-to-bottom button in light and dark themes.
Add a standard separator before the prompt send button.
Match the prompt send-button right padding to the bottom padding by reusing the existing prompt shell padding value.

Why

These are mostly visual polish and native-feel improvements. The goal is to make JetBrains session controls, scroll behavior, and transient progress UI feel more consistent with IntelliJ platform conventions and with the rest of Kilo's session surface.

…lows cap Both the main prompt editor and the custom question-response editor now grow up to ~1/3 of the session root height, then enable a standard auto-hiding vertical scrollbar (appears on scroll/hover, fades on inactivity). While content fits, no scrollbar is shown. - PromptPanel: syncEditorScroll toggles verticalScrollBarPolicy between VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER and VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED based on content vs capped height. - QuestionView: same capped-height + auto-hiding scrollbar behavior for the custom-answer editor; also syncs on component resize and addNotify. - Tests assert the policy flips correctly after overflow and returns to NEVER when content shrinks back to fit.
