#318 macOS: Zooming in clips the chat area and hides the message input

Description

I've been enjoying Carrier on macOS, especially how lightweight it is. However, zooming in with Command + Plus causes the right and bottom edges of the chat interface to become clipped outside the visible window.

The message input at the bottom can disappear, preventing me from seeing what I'm typing and making the conversation difficult to use while zoomed in.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Carrier on macOS and open a conversation.
2. Maximize the window (this is how I mostly use Carrier).
3. Press Command + Plus to increase the page zoom.
4. Observe the right and bottom edges of the interface. Increase zoom further if needed until the message input disappears.

Clipping can happen on the first zoom-in step with my current custom display resolution/scaling. The exact point at which the message input disappears appears to depend on the available window space and display scaling, so I don't have a verified universal zoom percentage or number of steps.

Expected behavior

The layout should adjust to the available window space as zoom increases, keeping the message input visible and usable.

Actual behavior

Content becomes larger, but the layout does not appear to fit the visible window. The right and bottom edges are clipped, and the message input can disappear below the bottom edge.

Environment

• Carrier: 2.0.0 (installed app version and build)
• macOS: 27.0, build 26A428
• Window state: mostly maximized
• Display configuration: a custom resolution/scaling setting, rather than the display's default/native setting. Exact effective display dimensions were not available from the system diagnostics used for this report.
• Zoom threshold: can begin on the first zoom-in step; exact percentage not verified.

Related issue

Possibly related to [#250] (Use native WebView zoom instead of CSS page scaling). I'm reporting the concrete macOS symptom here: the message input becomes inaccessible when zooming in.

I'm unsure whether the cause is Carrier's zoom handling, the underlying Messenger layout, or an interaction with display scaling.
