Fix for category scroll issue.

[khathija-ahamadi]

💡 What is the current behavior?

The category filter component is scrolled into view after items are added (Does not seem to happen removing elements).
The reason for this is the "scrollIntoView" function being called from the component.

GitHub Issue Number: #2658

🆕 What is the new behavior?

Keeps the text input visible after filter chips are added.
Using nearest limits movement to the minimum required, preventing unexpected page or container scrolling.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The category filter now scrolls its input to the nearest viewport edges after rendering. A regression test verifies token entry, focus, visibility, event details, scroll options, and accessibility.

Changes

Category filter scrolling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Nearest-edge input scrolling packages/core/src/components/category-filter/category-filter.tsx, packages/core/src/components/category-filter/test/category-filter.ct.ts	componentDidRender passes block: 'nearest' and inline: 'nearest' to scrollIntoView. The regression test validates the token-entry flow, emitted event, input state, viewport visibility, scroll options, and accessibility.

Category-filter token entry now limits input scrolling to the nearest viewport edge, preventing unnecessary page or container movement while preserving the existing token, focus, event, and accessibility behavior.

category-filter tests: add a makeAxeBuilder() accessibility test, extend the
token test to cover the relevant component state beyond the chip, and update the
focus test to assert input visibility and that scrollIntoView is called with
block and inline set to nearest. Reuse the existing generated category-filter
test patterns and framework coverage.
