fix: info card and media container alignment

[rugeli]

Problem

What is the problem this work solves, including
two possible solutions for #424

In most cases, the two containers(media and info card) are evenly aligned. But when the media container includes more items than usual, an empty space appears between the Return to Cell Catalog button and the cell line info card

Solution

What I/we did to solve this problem

approach 1:

• adjusted the style to allow for an uneven bottom alignment when the media container has more media items(>5)

verify the change using AICS-82 as an example.

approach 2(current pick):

• set max-height: 420px; to .thumbnail-container so that four thumbnails are visible by default, additional ones are scrollable. keeps both media and info card containers evenly aligned
• set thumbnail container max-height to show 4.5 items

Type of change

I tried percentage-based calc() but it started affecting other components and became complicated than expected;(

so I went with the straightforward solution to keep this fix pr within scope: max height = ~4.5 thumbnails(still a fixed height but the intent is clearer). We can do a separate refactor later to centralize fixed values if needed

Why do this calc though? Isn't it just 466px? I'd just put 466px and a comment if you are trying to highlight how you arrived at that number

[rugeli]

good point, I'll switch to a fixed height and add a quick comment

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a UI alignment issue where a blank gap appeared between the "Return to Cell Catalog" button and the cell line info card on pages with many media items (more than 4). The fix implements a scrollable thumbnail container with a maximum height to maintain consistent alignment between the media container and info card.

Changes:

• Added max-height constraint to thumbnail container to display 4.5 items, making additional thumbnails scrollable
• Added overflow-x: hidden to prevent horizontal overflow in the thumbnail container
