💡 What: Optimized the Chat component by memoizing message bubbles and the thinking indicator. Refactored props to use booleans (isCopied, isTyping) instead of passing parent state identifiers.

🎯 Why: Previously, every message in the chat would re-render whenever a new message was being streamed or when any message was copied. This was due to the entire message list receiving updated parent state props. Since MessageBubble uses ReactMarkdown, these redundant re-renders were computationally expensive.

📊 Impact: Reduces re-renders from $O(N)$ to $O(1)$ during streaming and clipboard actions, significantly improving UI responsiveness and reducing CPU usage in long conversations.

🔬 Measurement: Can be verified using React DevTools Profiler by observing that only the active/copied message bubbles highlight during updates.
