Consecutive messages from the same agent are now visually grouped under a single avatar block. Only the first message in a group renders the avatar and author header; subsequent messages within a 5-minute window show only the bubble, with a tightened gap. Changes: - shared-utils.js: add pure shouldGroupWithPrevious() function exposed via window.AcbUtils (testable, no DOM dependency) - index.html appendBubble(): detect prev row via [data-seq] selector to skip typing indicators, add data-created-at attribute, apply .msg-group-start / .msg-group-cont CSS classes, conditionally omit the msg-header for continuation messages - index.html style block: add .msg-group-cont rules (hidden avatar, tightened margin-top) - frontend/src/__tests__/message-grouping.test.js: 6 Vitest tests covering grouping, author change, time gap, system/human break, and null prev (first message) Tests: 24/24 Vitest + 54/54 pytest passed

and author header; subsequent messages within a 5-minute window show only
the bubble, with a tightened gap.

via window.AcbUtils (testable, no DOM dependency)
skip typing indicators, add data-created-at attribute, apply
.msg-group-start / .msg-group-cont CSS classes, conditionally omit
the msg-header for continuation messages
tightened margin-top)
covering grouping, author change, time gap, system/human break, and
null prev (first message)

Conflict note
5 PRs are currently open. This PR touches src/static/index.html and src/static/js/shared-utils.js. PR #15 (refactor/extract-css) is the only potential conflict: it moves all inline CSS to main.css. If #15 merges first, a rebase will move the new .msg-group-cont rules to main.css. No functional conflicts with #14, #16, #17, or #18.
