[FEATURE] Add "Back to Top" Button #48
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. On long pages, users have to manually scroll all the way back to the top, which can be inconvenient—especially when navigating dense content.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement a floating “Back to Top” button that:
Appears when the user scrolls down past a certain point (e.g., 100px).
Smoothly scrolls the page to the top when clicked.
Adapts to the light/dark theme mode dynamically.
Is mobile and desktop responsive.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Adding a sticky header with a “Top” link.
Relying on keyboard shortcuts like Home key.

Implementation Suggestions
If you have ideas about how this could be implemented:
- Technical approach
Use a scroll event listener in JS/TS to toggle visibility.
Add a button styled with Tailwind or CSS modules.
Smooth scroll behavior using window.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: 'smooth' }). - Potential challenges
Ensuring performance efficiency (avoiding unnecessary re-renders or scroll events).
Theming alignment (auto-adapting in light/dark mode). - Dependencies or requirements
TailwindCSS or UI library in use
Optional: FontAwesome or Lucide icon for arrow - Compatibility considerations
Works well with the existing FastAPI + LangGraph stack as this is frontend-side only.
