Bug: sendFollowUpMessage() causes temporary duplicated chat content (Button clicks in Apps SDK)

Hi OpenAI team, I found a UI rendering bug that occurs when clicking a button inside a widget (Apps SDK). Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a conversation that contains one or more widgets. 2. Click a button inside a widget. 3. Observe the chat area while the next widget/content is loading. Actual behavior: * The chat does not automatically scroll down to the latest content. * The previous chat content appears duplicated. * Older widgets from the conversation are rendered twice temporarily, as a result. * After a few seconds, the duplicated content disappears and the selected widget for the current prompt appears correctly. Expected behavior: * After clicking the widget button, the chat should auto-scroll to the latest message/content. * The previous chat history containing widgets should not be rendered twice, even temporarily. * The newly selected widget should appear without a transient duplicated-chat state.
