+dev: Center `.chat-jump-to-latest` with left/right + margin-inline auto instead of transform:translateX(-50%) so global `.btn` transform transitions and :active scale cannot shift the chip sideways.

 FNXC:ChatView 2026-07-22-00:00:
 The Latest button is centered with transform: translateX(-50%), so the global .btn:active { transform: scale(0.97) } rule must not replace that transform wholesale — doing so shifted the button half its width sideways on mousedown, out from under the cursor mid-click. Compose both transforms on :active instead (same fix as .devserver-log-viewer__new-logs-button).

+FNXC:ChatView 2026-07-23-18:15:
+Compose-on-:active was still fragile: same specificity as `.btn:active` can lose the cascade war (SelectionCommentPopover regressed the same way), and the shared `.btn { transition: transform }` made any transform churn feel like the chip jumps when the cursor moves near/over it in Quick Chat and full Chat. Center with left/right + margin-inline auto + width: fit-content so positioning no longer owns `transform`. Global `.btn:active` scale then applies in place around the geometric center without a sideways teleport. Covers session + room jump buttons (shared class), floating Quick Chat, main Chat view, and mobile.
