Subject: [PATCH] feat: Enhance artifact panel animations and improve UI
 responsiveness

- Updated Thinking component button styles for smoother transitions.

- Refactored localization keys for consistency across multiple languages.
- Added new CSS animations for iOS-inspired smooth transitions.
- Improved Tailwind CSS configuration to support enhanced animation effects.
