Subject: [PATCH 1/8] Improve mobile responsiveness with Tailwind breakpoints
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Replace fixed-width containers (min-w-xl max-w-xl) with responsive classes
- Mobile: full width with padding, Tablet: 90% max 768px, Desktop: max 1024px
- Make ChatScreen header stack vertically on mobile, horizontal on desktop
- Add touch-friendly button sizes (min 44x44px tap targets)
- Optimize textarea and form inputs for mobile keyboards
- Add text wrapping (break-words) to message bubbles to prevent overflow
- Apply responsive text sizing (text-sm sm:text-base) throughout
- Improve ConversationList with touch-friendly hit areas
- Add responsive padding/spacing across all components

All components now use standard Tailwind breakpoints:
- sm: 640px+ (tablet)
- md: 768px+ (larger tablet)
- lg: 1024px+ (desktop)
- xl: 1280px+ (large desktop)

Subject: [PATCH 2/8] Add configurable database path via environment variables
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add DATABASE_PATH environment variable support in app.py and aerich_config.py
- DATABASE_PATH: For simple relative/absolute paths (default: database/raggr.db)
- DATABASE_URL: For full connection strings (overrides DATABASE_PATH if set)
- Create .env.example with all configuration options documented
- Maintains backward compatibility with default database location

Usage:
  # Use default path
  python app.py

  # Use custom path for development
  DATABASE_PATH=dev.db python app.py

  # Use full connection string
  DATABASE_URL=sqlite://custom/path.db python app.py
