# Neo.form.Fieldset does not auto-grow to fit a TextArea child

## Context
Surfaced by dogfooding a real app on neo's `dev` branch. A `Neo.form.Fieldset` containing a `Neo.form.field.TextArea` does not grow to fit the textarea — the fieldset keeps a fixed/min height instead of expanding to its content, so the textarea is clipped or cramped.

## Expected
The fieldset auto-grows (or its layout lets the child size) so a `TextArea` child renders at its full height.

## Acceptance
- A Fieldset with a TextArea child grows to fit the textarea (per its `rows` / flex), no clipping.
- Layout regression coverage if it fits the existing test patterns.
