Change:
See how the padding is ~double that on top than on the side ! It looks particularly bad imo when a response is in progress: ! It's also ~half on bottom: ! Could we make the padding consistent on all sides?
Padding also looks pretty bad in terminal: !
When showing a result the chat widget height is off by 3px, e.g its reported content height is small then the height takes... <img width="1411" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-22 at 16 22 35" src=""
Should be looking better now <img width="1277" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 20 58 39" src=""

Yeah, I had played with that and wasn't happy. The different radii (from the input and zone) get close enough to make it look weird. Also, the focus border makes it appear as too narrow
