…il-panel The useState was declared but its value was never read in render (only the setter was called). Each setter call scheduled a re-render that changed nothing visible. The actual scroll/highlight behavior is driven by hasScrolledRef and setActiveChunkIndex; this state was effectively dead. Closes MODSetter#1249

Summary
Closes #1249. Removes the unused
_hasScrolledToCiteduseStateinsurfsense_web/components/new-chat/source-detail-panel.tsx(Option A from the issue: delete the state entirely).Why this matters
The state's value was never read in render - only the setter was called (lines 329 and 346 of the pre-change file). Each call to
setHasScrolledToCitedscheduled a re-render that changed nothing visible. The actual scroll/highlight behavior is already driven by:hasScrolledRef(line 132) - for scroll-once latchsetActiveChunkIndex(line 134) - for the citation highlightChanges
surfsense_web/components/new-chat/source-detail-panel.tsx:const [_hasScrolledToCited, setHasScrolledToCited] = useState(false);declaration (was line 136).setHasScrolledToCited(true)call inside the "after final scroll attempt" timer — the surroundingsetActiveChunkIndex(citedChunkIndex)call in the same timer still runs, so active-chunk highlighting is preserved.setHasScrolledToCited(false)call inside the panel-close reset effect —hasScrolledRef.current = falseandsetActiveChunkIndex(null)still run, so reset behaviour is preserved.Net diff: 1 insertion, 4 deletions.

High-level PR Summary
This PR removes an unused React state variable
_hasScrolledToCitedfrom the source detail panel component. The state setter was being called but the value was never read during render, causing unnecessary re-renders without any visible effect. The actual scroll-to-citation behavior is preserved through existing mechanisms:hasScrolledReffor scroll-once logic andsetActiveChunkIndexfor highlighting the cited chunk.⏱️ Estimated Review Time: 5-15 minutes
