Replaced the dangerous `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` pattern (used to render `\n` as `<br/>`) with standard React text interpolation combined with the `whitespace-pre-wrap` CSS class. This neutralizes cross-site scripting risks while perfectly maintaining text formatting.

+## 2024-05-24 - [dangerouslySetInnerHTML XSS Vulnerability]
+**Vulnerability:** Found a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in `RoomAIChat` where chat messages were being rendered using `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` to support `<br/>` tags for newlines.
+**Learning:** Using `.replace(/\n/g, '<br/>')` paired with `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` is a highly dangerous pattern in React that inadvertently allows malicious HTML/JS execution if user input flows through it (e.g. chat messages).
+**Prevention:** Always use standard React text rendering `{msg.content}` paired with CSS `white-space: pre-wrap` (or Tailwind's `whitespace-pre-wrap`) to safely render text with line breaks without exposing the app to XSS risks.
