fix(ui): Timeline uses EventFeed's internal scroll + load-older button

EventFeed has its own search + filter toolbar inside the component.
Wrapping it in InfiniteScrollArea made the toolbar scroll out of
sight. Drop InfiniteScrollArea for the Timeline, give EventFeed a
bounded-height flex container (it scrolls its own .list internally),
and add an explicit 'Load older events' button for cursor
pagination. Polling always on for events (low volume).
