Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the linked CodeSandbox, using its src/App.js example and dragging the parent element while observing the layout transition. Trace the drag and layout-animation entry points from that reproduction; done means the layout transition continues animating during the drag without breaking the demonstrated behavior.
