Input field for new message covers existing messages

@tomoglavas

I'm reporting this as a new bug since it seems to be a recently-introduced issue, and different from the issue discussed in the main description of #1098. I don't remember noticing the input field covering up the output until a recent release.

The input field for new message covers existing messages, so if I go over 2-3 lines, it hides a part of the output. The more I type, the less I can see. This is probably due to absolute positioning from bottom of viewport, so it might make sense to create a "shadow message" element in the output that replicates the height of our input message, allowing the output to be scrolled all the way to the bottom instead of remaining pinned down.

I have tested this with opencode 0.5.2 on MacOS using both iTerm2 and ghostty.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

Copy pasting a large text makes it impossible to scroll it to the end #1098: Copy pasting large text makes scrolling impossible - related to input field scrolling issues
bug (tui): can't stay scrolled to top in some cases #1639: Can't stay scrolled to top in some cases - similar scrolling behavior problems

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case of the input field covering messages with absolute positioning.
