Convex chat docs potential small correction

I think I found another "bug" on the chat tutorial. If you have more than 100 messages, the scrolling no longer works since we're checking the length of the messages.

useEffect(() => {
    window.scrollTo({ top: document.body.scrollHeight, behavior: "smooth" });
  }, [messages?.length]);

useEffect(() => {
    window.scrollTo({ top: document.body.scrollHeight, behavior: "smooth" });
  }, [messages?.length]);

Since the length is always 100, the useEffect doesn't fire, and the page doesn't scroll to the bottom.
